摘要
Every-2-week (dose-dense) adjuvant doxorubicin (A) plus cyclophosphamide (C) followed by paclitaxel is a safe and effective adjuvant chemotherapy regimen. Every-3-week nab-paclitaxel is safe and more effective at 50% higher dose than every-3-week paclitaxel in metastatic breast cancer (BC). This study evaluated the safety of adjuvant dose-dense AC followed by dose-dense nab-paclitaxel for early-stage BC. Women with operable, histologically confirmed BC received four cycles of dose-dense A 60 mg/m(2) plus C 600 mg/m(2) with pegfilgrastim, followed by dose-dense 260 mg/m(2) nab-paclitaxel (with pegfilgrastim given as needed). Endpoints were adverse events (AEs), including myelosuppression. Patients with neuropathy were followed until symptom improvement to grade a parts per thousand currency sign1. Thirty women received four cycles of dose-dense AC with no unanticipated AEs, one withdrew after AC therapy. Of 29 women who began nab-paclitaxel therapy, 27 received all the four doses (mean cumulative dose, 959 mg/m(2)); one discontinued nab-paclitaxel after two doses due to unacceptable AEs. Four patients had a grade 3 nab-paclitaxel-related neuropathy (no grade 4 event). Of 29 patients, 34% received pegfilgrastim during nab-paclitaxel therapy and 31% had a nab-paclitaxel treatment delay, mainly due to hematologic toxicity. Based on the Kaplan-Meier probability estimates, the percentage of patients having a parts per thousand currency sign1 grade neuropathy at the end of treatment, 2, and 8 months after treatment were 59, 79, and 97%. Administering adjuvant dose-dense AC followed by 260 mg/m(2) dose-dense nab-paclitaxel was feasible in women with early-stage BC, with manageable AEs. Most patients had a parts per thousand currency sign1 grade neuropathy 2 months after treatment completion.
