Abstract:Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of recombinant human endostatin (Rh-endostatin) in combination with tomotherapy (TOMO) in the treatment of inoperable stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who could not tolerate concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Methods Clinical data of 38 inoperable stage Ⅲ NSCLC patients were retrospectively reviewed, who could not tolerate concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the department of radiotherapy of Characteristics Medical Center of Chinese PLA Air Force from September 2014 to January 2020. All patients were treated with TOMO therapy combined with Rh-endostatin. The dosage of TOMO was 60-70 Gy in 15-25 fractions (5 fractions /week). Rh-endostatin was administered intravenously one week before TOMO at a dose of 7.5 mg/m2 qd for 14 consecutive days, and repeated at an interval of one week for at least 4 cycles. Clinical efficacy, safety, and survival were assessed after the treatment.Results All patients were followed-up for a median duration of 42.6 (17.2-87.4) months. There were 25 (65.8%) patients with stage ⅢA NSCLC, and 13 (34.2%) patients with stage ⅢB NSCLC. In terms of pathological types, there were 18 (47.4%) cases of adenocarcinoma, 11 (29.0%) cases of squamous cell carcinoma, and 9 cases (23.7%) of others. All patients completed TOMO and at least 4 cycles of Rh-endostatin therapy, and 16 (42%) patients received more than 6 cycles of Rh-endostatin therapy among them. The median total survival time and progression-free survival time were 37.3 months 95%CI (11.3,85.2) and 23.1 months 95% CI(4.6,85.2) respectively, and the 3-year OS and PFS rate were 51.4% and 39.8% respectively.Multivariate analysis suggested that gender, age, smoking history and TNM stage were significantly associated with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), while weight loss was associated only with OS. TOMO dosage was only associated with local recurrence-free survival, but not with regional recurrence-free survival or distant metastases. The incidences of acute toxicities of grade 1/2 was 28.9% (n=11), and grade 3 was 5.3% (n=2). The incidence of late toxicities of grade 1/2 was 5.3% (n=2) and that of grade 3 was 2.6% (n=1); No grade 4/5 late toxicity occurred.Conclusions Rh-endostatin combined with TOMO is effective in the treatment of stage III non-small cell lung cancer patients who are inoperable and cannot tolerate concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and the adverse reactions are tolerable.
