Adjuvant gemcitabine plus docetaxel for completely resected stage I-IV high grade uterine leiomyosarcoma: results of a phase II trial Martee L.

RATIONALE • 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) is estimated at 20-40% for women with completely resected HGuLMS • Recurrence rates estimated at 50-80% • No prospective trials have adequately assessed adjuvant systemic therapy for high-risk disease
RATIONALE • Fixed dose-rate gemcitabine + docetaxel achieves high response rates in metastatic HGuLMS, even as 2nd or 3rd line therapy • Need to determine whether 2-year PFS with adjuvant chemotherapy for HGuLMS is sufficiently promising to warrant study in a prospective, randomized phase III trial
Gemcitabine-Docetaxel in advanced uterine LMS Hensley, JCO 2002; Hensley Gyn Onc 2008; Hensley Gyn Onc 2008
OBJECTIVES Primary: • determine whether treatment with adjuvant fixed-dose-rate gemcitabine plus docetaxel following complete resection of stage I-IV high grade uterine LMS is associated with a >40% PFS at 2 years Secondary: • assess tolerability of 4 cycles fixed-dose-rate gemcitabine plus docetaxel in an adjuvant treatment population
Confirm histology: high-grade uterine LMS, stage I, II, III, or IV, completely resected Confirm No Evidence of Disease (NED) by CT C/A/P and physical examination Gemcitabine 900mg/m2 over 90 minutes days 1 and 8 + Docetaxel 75mg/m2 d8, with GCSF or Neulasta day 9, every 3 weeks for 4 cycles CT scan and Physical Exam every 3 months Study Schema
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA • Pathologically confirmed uterine LMS, stage I, II, III, or IV, completely resected • No prior chemotherapy for LMS; no prior gemcitabine or docetaxel • Age > 18 y; KPS > 80% • Adequate organ function and bone marrow reserve • No prior radiation therapy (RT) to abdomen or whole pelvis • No other cancer present within the past 3 years • No neuropathy greater than grade 1
GRADE 3/4 TOXICITIES All patients completed all 4 cycles of planned therapy
Median follow-up for all patients = 49 months Median follow-up for Stage I, II patients = 40 months Progression-free survival
Median Overall survival- all patients = not yet reached (> 45 mo)
Median Overall survival- Stage I, II patients = not reached (>60 months)
CONCLUSIONS • Patients treated with adjuvant fixed-dose-rate gemcitabine + docetaxel for completely resected stage I-IV high-grade LMS had 2 year PFS of 45% • Patients with stage I or II disease had 2 and 3-y PFS of 59% • 2 year PFS appears superior to historical rates of 20-40% PFS at 2 years. • Median OS for all patients is not yet reached—exceeds 45 months • Assessment of adjuvant Gem-Doce therapy in high-risk stage I and II uterine LMS is warranted
