Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer after Failure of Second-Line Treatment May Benefit from Low-Dose Apatinib and S-1 Combined with Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Decoction.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the effect and safety of low-dose of apatinib and S-1 combined with Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Decoction (JBJD) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have failed second or above lines treatment, in order to provide more treatment option for mCRC patients by integrated medicine.

Methods

Thirteen patients were selected from a single-arm, open-label clinical study from April 2019 to September 2020. The patients were treated with low-dose apatinib (250 mg, once a day) and S-1 (20 mg, twice a day) combined with JBJD for at least one cycle and were followed up to August 2021. The primary endpoint was disease progression-free survival (PFS). Disease control rate (DCR), objective response rate (ORR), and overall survival (OS) of patients were observed as the secondary endpoints. Adverse events were recorded as well.

Results

The average age of the 13 patients was 56.5 ±13.0 years and 76.9% were male. The median PFS and median OS were 4.6 and 8.3 months, respectively. The ORR was 7.7% (1/13) while the DCR was 61.5% (8/13). The common adverse events were hypertension, proteinuria, elevated transaminase, and thrombocytopenia. One patient experienced thrombocytopenia of grade 3.

Conclusions

Patients with mCRC after failure of the second or above lines of treatment may potentially benefit from the treatment of low-dose apatinib and S-1 combined with JBJD because of its similar effect as the standard dose of target therapy and relatively better safety.

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) pars compacta. Dopamine (DA) replacement therapy is one of the most effective drug treatments for PD; however, long-term levodopa treatment can lead to various side effects that negatively impact the quality of life of patients. Therefore, finding safe and effective alternative drugs to treat PD is of clinical importance. The Bushen-Jianpi decoction (BSJPD) was derived from classic traditional Chinese medicine and has been shown to be effective in the treatment of PD. This study explored the effects and mechanisms of action of BSJPD in PD. In our study, rats were randomly divided into six groups: the vehicle group, rotenone (ROT) + Saline group, ROT + low-dose BSJPD group, ROT + high-dose BSJPD group, ROT + Madopar group, and ROT + low-dose BSJPD + Madopar group. Treatment was administered to the rats once a day for 28 days, and behavioral tests were assessed. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B), dopa decarboxylase (DDC), alpha-synuclein (α-syn), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) levels were detected. Our results show that BSJPD increases the body weight of rats, improves their motor coordination, reverses decreasing TH levels in the SN, and increases the expression level of DDC and HO-1 in the striatum (ST), but it fails to affect TH levels in the ST in the PD model. In addition, BSJPD reduced the expression of MAO-B in the ST in the PD model, but it did not have a significant effect on COMT. Rather, COMT in the plasma and liver increased in the low-dose BSJPD treatment group. Upregulation of α-syn in the PD model was also observed, but BSJPD has shown no obvious effect to clear it. Our results suggest that BSJPD exhibits a therapeutic effect on PD and may play a neuroprotective role by regulating HO-1 expression and participating in the metabolic process of DA.

Project description:BackgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors have been approved for first- and third-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer. However, pembrolizumab alone in the second line did not improve overall survival compared to chemotherapy in the KEYNOTE-061 study. In this study, we aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of a three-drug regimen of PD-1 inhibitor combined with albumin paclitaxel and apatinib (a VEGFR inhibitor) for the second-line treatment of patients with metastatic gastric cancer (mGC).MethodsThis was a single-center, single-arm, phase II clinical study. Patients with mGC with stable microsatellite and negative HER-2 expression who failed first-line chemotherapy were enrolled. The enrolled patients were treated with PD-1 inhibitor (selected according to patients' requirements) in combination with albumin paclitaxel (125 mg/m2, intravenously, days 1 and 8, or 250 mg/m2, intravenously, day 1) and apatinib (250 or 500 mg, orally, days 1-21) every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response, and adverse events (AEs).ResultsFrom July 11, 2019, to October 13, 2022, a total of 43 patients were enrolled, of whom 10 were PD-L1 negative, 11 were PD-L1 positive, and 22 had unknown PD-L1 expression. As of the data cutoff on April 1st, 2023, nine patients had partial response, 29 had stable disease, and five experienced progressive disease, with the ORR of 20.9% and DCR of 88.3%. The median PFS was 6.2 months (95% CI, 3.9-9.3), and the median OS was 10.1 months (95% CI, 7.5-14.1). All patients suffered from alopecia and neurotoxicity. The other main AEs of grade 1 or 2 were bone marrow suppression (N = 21, 48.8%), hand-foot reaction (N = 19, 44.2%), hypertension (N = 18, 41.9%), hypothyroidism (N = 11, 25.6%), gastrointestinal bleeding (N = 3, 7.0%), and liver function damage (N = 5, 11.6%). Two patients reported grade 3-4 immune-related liver damage.ConclusionSecond-line PD-1 inhibitor combined with albumin paclitaxel and apatinib showed certain efficacy and safety in patients with mGC.Trial registrationClinical trials, NCT04182724.
