Paclitaxel and UFT plus oral calcium folinate in pretreated metastatic breast cancer

This phase I study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting side effects of combination treatment with paclitaxel (Taxol) and UFT (uracil and tegafur in a 4:1 molar ratio) plus oral calcium folinate (Orzel) for advanced metastatic breast cancer. After premedicatio...

description This phase I study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting side effects of combination treatment with paclitaxel (Taxol) and UFT (uracil and tegafur in a 4:1 molar ratio) plus oral calcium folinate (Orzel) for advanced metastatic breast cancer. After premedication, patients received paclitaxel as a 3-hour IV infusion (175 mg/m2) on day 1; UFT was administered orally at 300 mg/day (dose level 1), 400 mg/day (dose level 2), 500 mg/day (dose level 3), or 600 mg/day (dose level 4) in combination with 90 mg/day of calcium folinate in three divided doses for 14 days. Twenty patients with pretreated metastatic breast cancer have entered the trial so far. The main toxicity was neutropenia, occurring in 68% of patients. World Health Organization grades 1 and 2 peripheral neuropathy, arthralgia, and myalgia were common but not dose-limiting. All patients had grade 3 alopecia due to paclitaxel. One of six patients treated at dose level 4 experienced a dose-limiting toxicity with neutropenic fever. But within four dose levels MTD was not reached, and the study will continue to accrue patients to dose level 5. Objective responses were observed at all dose levels. In conclusion, the combination of paclitaxel and UFT plus oral calcium folinate seems to be a convenient and effective regimen for patients with pretreated metastatic breast cancer. Phase I is ongoing in order to determine MTD and the recommended dose for phase II testing.
