Abstract:
:A phase II study was performed to assess the safety and efficacy of mitoxantrone and cisplatin in locally recurrent and/or metastatic carcinomas of the salivary glands. Between May 1997 and March 2001, a total of 14 patients were entered on this trial. All of them had previously undergone radical resection and 10 were subsequently treated with adjuvant radiation therapy with (n=3) or without (n=7) concomitant chemotherapy. Therapy according to the study protocol consisted of mitoxantrone given as i.v. bolus on day 1 at a dose of 12 mg/m2 and cisplatin given as 90-min infusion at a dose of 30 mg/m2 on days 1-3. We observed two partial responses (14.3%) and stabilization of disease in nine patients (64.3%); progression during therapy was noted in only three cases (21.4%). The median time to progression was 15 months (range 2-36) and the median survival time was 27 months (range 4-54). Myelosuppression was commonly observed. Leukocytopenia occurred in all patients, and was grade 3 or 4 in three (21%) and four (29%) patients. WHO grade 3 thrombocytopenia and anemia was seen in three (21%) and four (29%) patients, respectively. Non-hematologic toxicity was in general mild to moderate except for two cases (14%) of grade 3 nausea and vomiting; overall incidence rates were nausea and vomiting (n=14), stomatitis (n=6), diarrhea (n=3), alopecia (n=11), infection (n=7), increase of serum creatinine (n=3), and peripheral neuropathy (n=3). The combination of mitoxantrone and cisplatin seems to be an active and fairly well-tolerated regimen for the treatment of advanced salivary gland cancers. According to the observed high rate of abrogating progressive disease for a long duration, and the resulting promising progression-free and overall survival time, further investigation seems warranted.
