7011 Background: The issue of the equivalence between carboplatin and cisplatin in the treatment of advanced NSCLC is still controversial. To answer this question, we conducted an individual patient (pt) data meta-analysis of randomized trials comparing cisplatin- and carboplatin-based chemotherapy (CT) in first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC.
METHODS
A literature search was performed to identify randomized trials investigating the substitution of carboplatin for cisplatin, combined with the same agent/s, in the first-line CT of advanced NSCLC. The primary end-point was overall survival (OS) and the secondary end-points were response rate (RR) and toxicity. For each end-point the analysis was based on a fixed-effects model. For the study of the effect on OS, Cox proportional hazards model was used. The probability to have an objective response or an adverse event was studied using a logistic regression model.
RESULTS
Nine trials were identified and the relative databases obtained. In total, 2,968 pts were randomized to receive CT with cisplatin (1,489) or with carboplatin (1,479), respectively. The RR was 30% and 24% for cisplatin- and carboplatin-based CT, respectively, with an OR of 1.37 (95% C.I.: 1.16-1.62; p < 0.001). Concerning the OS, carboplatin was associated with a relative risk of death 7% higher compared with cisplatin, even if this difference was not statistically significant (HR = 1.07; 95% C.I.: 0.99-1.15; p = 0.101). Patients on cisplatin-based CT had more nausea-vomiting and nephro-toxicity while thrombocytopenia was more frequent during carboplatin-based CT. Subgroup analyses revealed that cisplatin-based CT led to statistically significant advantage in survival in the subgroups of pts with non-squamous tumours and in those treated with third generation CT.
CONCLUSIONS
CISCA is the first individual pt data meta-analysis on this subject. We found that cisplatin-based is superior to carboplatin-based CT in terms of RR; however, the increased RR does not translate into an OS benefit. Nevertheless, selected pts with advanced NSCLC may obtain slightly more benefit from cisplatin-based third generation CT. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
