Abstract:
:We recruited 50 patients with T2-4 N0-2 M0 primary breast cancer into a phase I/II study to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), efficacy and tolerability of preoperative gemcitabine (1250 mg/m fixed dose) plus epirubicin (doses escalated from 90 mg/m) for 5 cycles followed by 4 cycles of docetaxel (scheduled fixed dose 100 mg/m) given on day 1 every 2 weeks (q2w) with pegfilgrastim support. The MTD for epirubicin was 100 mg/m, but the docetaxel dose had to be reduced to 80 mg/m. Dose-limiting toxicities included fatigue, stomatitis, diarrhea and dyspnea (all grade 3) during gemcitabine plus epirubicin, and fatigue (grade 3) and allergic reaction (grade 4) during docetaxel treatment, respectively. A pathologic complete response could be achieved in 13 patients (pT0+pTis, 26%), and in the breast and axilla in 12 patients [(pT0 or pTis)+pN0, 24%). Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) was possible in 35 patients (70%). Main grade 3/4 adverse events at MTD were fatigue (57/0%), leukopenia (27/8%), and liver (14/0%) and lung toxicity (14/0%). In conclusion, gemcitabine plus epirubicin 1250/100 mg/m q2w followed sequentially by docetaxel 80 mg/m q2w is highly effective as pre-operative chemotherapy with manageable toxicity. However, response and BCS rates could not be increased by administering gemcitabine plus epirubicin and docetaxel in a dose-dense fashion.
