BACKGROUND
Gemcitabine is the most promising new agent currently being tested in pancreatic cancer. The present study was conducted to confirm the tolerability of a weekly schedule of gemcitabine at a dose of 1000 mg/m2 in Japanese patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
METHODS
The primary end-point was to evaluate the frequency of dose-limiting toxicity. Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 was administered over 30 min weekly in two schedules: gemcitabine x3 every 4 weeks (Schedule 1) and gemcitabine x7 followed by a week of rest and then gemcitabine x3 every 4 weeks thereafter (Schedule 2). At least three patients entered each schedule and three additional patients were treated in the presence of dose-limiting toxicity.
RESULTS
Eleven chemo-naive patients with a good Karnofsky performance status of > or =80 points and distant metastasis were entered into this trial. In Schedule 1, no dose-limiting toxicity was observed in the three patients. In Schedule 2, the evaluation of dose-limiting toxicity was complete in six of the eight enrolled patients and two patients showed dose-limiting toxicity in this Schedule; one patient experienced both grade 4 leukocytopenia and grade 4 neutropenia, and both grade 4 neutropenia and grade 3 GOT/GPT increased in another patient. Two patients (18%) showed a partial response and a clinical benefit response was also achieved in two (29%) of the seven evaluable patients.
CONCLUSION
Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 weekly x7 followed by a week of rest and weekly x3 every 4 weeks thereafter may be tolerated in Japanese patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
