Doxorubicin-Trabectedin with Trabectedin Maintenance in Leiomyosarcoma
Résumé
The addition of trabectedin to doxorubicin, followed by trabectedin maintenance, may have superior efficacy to doxorubicin alone as first-line treatment in patients with advanced leiomyosarcoma.
We conducted a phase 3 trial involving patients with metastatic or unresectable leiomyosarcoma who had not received chemotherapy previously. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either single-agent doxorubicin (six cycles) or doxorubicin plus trabectedin (six cycles), with continued trabectedin as maintenance therapy in patients in the doxorubicin-trabectedin group who did not have disease progression. Surgery to resect residual disease was allowed in each group after six cycles of therapy. Analyses of progression-free survival (primary end point) and overall survival (secondary end point) were adjusted for NEJMoa2403394_Pautier Frozen(author)
