ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel is indicated for the treatment of patients with lung cancer. It can induce interstitial lung disease, but the incidence of nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel-associated interstitial lung disease in clinical practice has not been determined. We investigated the incidence of interstitial lung disease in patients with lung cancer who had received nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel therapy at our institution.METHODS:
We reviewed clinical data for patients with advanced lung cancer who received nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel with or without carboplatin or bevacizumab therapy at the Nippon Medical School Main Hospital between April 2013 and September 2017. Interstitial lung disease was diagnosed based on clinical symptoms, radiographic findings and exclusion of other diseases.RESULTS:
A total of 110 advanced lung cancer patients received nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel, and nine of them (8.2%) developed interstitial lung disease. Of those who developed interstitial lung disease, eight were treated with corticosteroids and three received cyclophosphamide pulse therapy. High-resolution computed tomography images demonstrated diffuse alveolar damage pattern pneumonitis in seven patients and organized pneumonia pattern pneumonitis in two patients. Six of the patients with diffuse alveolar damage pattern pneumonitis died from respiratory failure. The two patients with organized pneumonia pattern pneumonitis recovered. The incidence of interstitial lung disease was 19.0% (8/42) among patients with preexisting interstitial pneumonia and 1.5% (1/68) among those without preexisting interstitial pneumonia. Six patients with preexisting interstitial pneumonia met the criteria for acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia (14.3%).CONCLUSION:
Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel-associated interstitial lung disease was a severe and potentially fatal adverse event. We found it demonstrated diffuse alveolar damage or organized pneumonia pattern pneumonitis, and preexisting interstitial pneumonia was associated with higher rate of nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel-associated interstitial lung disease.
