Trastuzumab (Herceptin) in metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary tract: report on six patients.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To report our preliminary experience with trastuzumab (Herceptin) in the management of metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary tract. PATIENTS AND METHODS:From november 2001 to august 2002, six patients received trastuzumab for metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (n=5) or renal pelvic cancer (n=1). Trastuzumab was administered as a first-line therapy in 2 patients, a second-line therapy in 3, and a third-line therapy in 1. Each patient received a weekly intravenous administration of trastuzumab (initial dose of 4 mg/kg, followed by 2mg/kg for other courses). A total of 6 courses was given. In 4 patients, trastuzumab was administered in association with paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) and carboplatin (area under the curve of 6). One patient received the same combination of trastuzumab and paclitaxel, but without carboplatin. The remaining patient received only trastuzumab. RESULTS:The trastuzumab-based regimen achieved partial regression of metastases in all patients. Initial regression of metastases varied between 30% and 80%. The therapy was well tolerated. Treatment-related toxicity was moderate in all patients, except for one who experienced transient grade 4 neutropenia. Five patients died from cancer. The interval between trastuzumab initiation and patient death ranged from 8 to 22 months. The remaining patient was still alive 28 months after trastuzumab initiation. CONCLUSIONS:Our preliminary data suggest that trastuzumab-based therapy may be safe and effective in metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary tract. Prospective trials are needed to further investigate this therapeutic option.
