Data from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Advance Knowledge in Oncology Research (Trabectedin for advanced soft tissue sarcomas: a single institution experience)
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Biotech Week Investigators publish new report on Oncology. According to news reporting originating from Cambridge, United Kingdom, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "We retrospectively analyzed data from patients who had been treated with trabectedin at our institution between April 2009 and August 2011. Data from 25 patients with recurrent soft tissue sarcoma (leiomyosarcoma: n=8; liposarcoma: n=5) were used to assess the efficacy and safety of trabectedin 1.5 mg/m2 given every 3 weeks."
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, "Most patients (n=14) had been heavily pretreated with ? 2 previous chemotherapy lines. Eight (32%) patients achieved a partial response according to dimensional and tumor density changes, and seven (28%) patients had stable disease for ? 3 months (clinical benefit rate=60%; n=15). Median progression-free survival was 6.4 months and overall survival 19.3 months. Common adverse events were fatigue, nausea, anemia and transient transaminase increases. Treatment with trabectedin is effective and well tolerated in heavily pretreated soft tissue sarcoma patients."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Tapering dexamethasone courses and switching trabectedin administration to an every 4 weeks schedule effectively dealt with persistent fatigue without compromising effectiveness."
