ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Effective second-line chemotherapy options are limited in treating advanced biliary tract cancers (BTCs). Resminostat is an oral histone deacetylase inhibitor. Such inhibitors increase sensitivity to fluorouracil, the active form of S-1. In the phase I study, addition of resminostat to S-1 was suggested to have promising efficacy for pre-treated BTCs. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of resminostat plus S-1 in second-line therapy for BTCs.METHODS:
Patients were randomly assigned to receive resminostat or placebo (200 mg orally per day; days 1-5 and 8-12) and S-1 group (80-120 mg orally per day by body surface area; days 1-14) over a 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints comprised overall survival (OS), response rate (RR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety.RESULTS:
Among 101 patients enrolled, 50 received resminostat+S-1 and 51 received placebo+S-1. Median PFS was 2.9 months for resminostat+S-1 vs. 3.0 months for placebo+S-1 (HR 1.154, 95% CI 0.759-1.757, p = 0.502); median OS was 7.8 months vs. 7.5 months, respectively (HR 1.049, 95% CI 0.653-1.684, p = 0.834); the RR and DCR were 6.0% vs. 9.8% and 70.0% vs. 78.4%, respectively. Treatment-related adverse events (TrAEs) of grade ≥ 3 occurring more frequently (≥10% difference) in the resminostat+S-1 than in the placebo+S-1 comprised platelet count decreased (18.0% vs. 2.0%) and decreased appetite (16.0% vs. 2.0%).CONCLUSIONS:
Resminostat plus S-1 therapy improved neither PFS nor OS for patients with pre-treated BTCs. Addition of resminostat to S-1 was associated with higher incidence of TrAEs, but these were manageable (JapicCTI-183883).Palavras-chave
