RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
Efficacy and safety of recombinant human adenovirus p53 combined with chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Anti-cancer Drugs 2017 Februrary
This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human adenovirus p53 (rAd-p53) combined with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in the treatment of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). A total of 162 recurrent NPC patients were selected and divided randomly into the rAd-p53+CRT, CRT, and rAd-p53 groups. An electrochemical luminescence immune analyzer was used to detect serum levels of tumor markers (carcinoembryonic antigen, cancer antigen 199, and cancer antigen 153). Efficacy evaluation was in accordance with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor. Toxicity evaluation was performed according to the WHO grading standard. A 3-year follow-up was performed. A Kaplan-Meier curve was drawn to calculate progression-free survival and the 3-year survival rate. The complete response rate and effective rate (complete response+partial response) of recurrent NPC patients in the rAd-p53+CRT group were higher than those in the CRT and rAd-p53groups. After treatment, compared with the CRT and rAd-p53 groups, the rAd-p53+CRT group had lower serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen, cancer antigen 199, and cancer antigen 153. The incidences of leukopenia and oral mucositis in the rAd-p53+CRT group were lower than those in the CRT group, but no differences were found between the rAd-p53+CRT and rAd-p53 groups. The progression-free survival and 3-year survival rate of recurrent NPC patients in the rAd-p53+CRT group were higher than the than those in the CRT and rAd-p53 groups. Our study supports that rAd-p53 combined with CRT may provide better efficacy and lower toxicity than rAd-p53 or CRT alone for the treatment of recurrent NPC patients.
