Abstract

PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy (objective response rate and duration of response and survival) and toxicity of docetaxel in patients with strictly defined anthracycline-resistant metastatic breast cancer (MBC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty-five patients with bidimensionally measurable MBC who had progressive disease while receiving anthracycline-containing chemotherapy were registered onto the phase II trial. Docetaxel was administered at a dose of 100 mg/m2 over 1 hour every 21 days. RESULTS: Thirty-four patients were assessable for disease response; 18 (53%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 35% to 70%) achieved a partial response. The median times to disease progression and survival duration were 7.5 and 13.5 months, respectively, for responding patients. The median overall survival duration was 9 months. Two hundred eight cycles (median, five) of docetaxel were administered. Neutropenia with less than 500 cells/microL developed in 31 of 35 patients; it was complicated by fever in 30 (14%) of 208 cycles and in 18 (51%) of 35 patients, including one treatment-related death. Fluid retention was seen in 15 (43%) of 35 patients, including pleural effusions in 11 patients (31%). Moderate skin toxicity, asthenia, and myalgia were observed in 16%, 58%, and 37% of cycles, respectively. CONCLUSION: Docetaxel has the highest reported antitumor activity in anthracycline-resistant MBC. High objective response rates were seen in patients with visceral-dominant involvement, multiple metastatic sites, or extensive previous therapy. Docetaxel is associated with severe but reversible neutropenia, asthenia, and cumulative dose-related fluid retention. Dexamethasone decreased the frequency and severity of skin toxicity and appeared to ameliorate fluid retention.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
