A prospective evaluation of a triple-drug regimen containing cisplatin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (CVD) for metastatic melanoma.

Abstract:

:Based on the independent activity of cisplatin, vinblastine, and dimethyl-triazeno-imidazole-carboxamide (DTIC) (CVD), a combination of these agents was used in the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma. Vinblastine was used in a dose of 1.6 mg/m2/d for 5 days, DTIC was used in a dose of 800 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) on day 1, and cisplatin was used in a dose of 20 mg/m2/d for 4 days starting on day 2 of chemotherapy. The courses of chemotherapy were repeated at 3-week intervals. All patients were premedicated with antiemetics, and IV hydration was used before cisplatin. Fifty-two consecutive patients were registered and 50 were evaluable for response. Two patients achieved a complete response (CR) and 18 patients had a partial response (PR) for an overall response rate of 40% (95% confidence interval, 27% to 55%). The median duration of response was 9 months and the median survival time of the responders was 12 months. The overall median survival time of patients treated on this protocol was 9 months. The treatment was associated with significant toxicity consisting of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and partial hair loss. Additionally, neutropenia with a median nadir granulocyte count of 500/microliters was observed, and significant anemia required blood transfusions in a majority of the patients after three to four courses of chemotherapy. The dose-limiting toxicity was peripheral neuropathy which required discontinuation of cisplatin after six to eight courses of chemotherapy. We believe that this triple-drug regimen has significant activity that appears to be superior to the single-agent activity of these drugs, both in terms of increased response rate and duration of response.
