Abstract

The outcome of systemic chemotherapy in metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients had been disappointing. Based on the demonstrated antitumor activities and different mechanisms of action and toxicity profiles, we designed a phase II trial of combination therapy with doxorubicin and cisplatin in metastatic HCC patients anticipating a synergistic interaction of the combination. From January 1998 to January 2003, 42 consecutive patients with metastatic HCC were accrued. The regimen consisted of doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 delivered as an intravenous infusion over 30 min on day 1, followed by cisplatin 60 mg/m2 infused over 1 h on day 1. The cycle was repeated every 28 days. The objective tumor response was evaluated after two or three courses of chemotherapy. The serum alpha-fetoprotein level was measured at the start of every cycle. In total, 122 cycles of the regimen were administered, with a median of three cycles per patient (range one to eight cycles). The median age of the patients was 45 years (range 19-61 years), and 37 were evaluable for treatment response. The objective response rate was 18.9% (95% CI 8.0-35%) with one complete response and six partial responses. Six patients (16.2%) had stable disease and 24 patients...Continue Reading
