Phase II study of single-agent etoposide in patients with metastatic squamous-cell carcinoma of the esophagus.

Abstract:

:A total of 26 evaluable patients presenting with advanced or metastatic squamous-cell carcinoma of the esophagus were entered in a phase II trial to assess the single-agent activity of etoposide. Etoposide was given at a dose of 200 mg/m2 on 3 consecutive days every 3 weeks. Five patients (19%) achieved a partial response and seven (27%) experienced stabilisation of their disease. The median duration of response was 4 months (range 3-8 months). The major toxicity was leukopenia, which reached WHO grade 3 in 46% of patients and grade 4 in 11% of cases, with five instances of leukopenic fever and one therapy-associated death being recorded. Etoposide given at this dose and on this schedule seems to have considerable activity against non-pretreated metastatic esophageal carcinoma.
