PG - 327-333 LID - 10.1159/000501967 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: There has been no study so far on gemcitabine continuous maintenance therapy targeting only squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of cisplatin plus gemcitabine followed by maintenance gemcitabine for chemotherapy- naive Japanese patients with advanced squamous NSCLC. METHODS: The patients received 4 cycles of gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2, days 1 and 8) and cisplatin (80 mg/m2, day 1) every 3 weeks, followed by gemcitabine alone as maintenance therapy every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point of the study was progression-free survival (PFS) from the date of registration. RESULTS: From May 2013 to October 2018, 26 patients were enrolled, and 25 patients received >/=1 cycle of planned treatment. Eighteen patients (69.2%) received 4 cycles of cisplatin plus gemcitabine, and 16 patients (61.5%) received >/=1 cycle of maintenance gemcitabine. The median PFS from the date of registration was 5.3 months (95% CI 2.9-7.3 months). In 16 patients who received >/=1 cycle of maintenance gemcitabine, the median PFS from the date of maintenance gemcitabine initiation was 3.8 months (95% CI 2.3-5.2 months). Their median overall survival from the date of registration was 11.9 months (95% CI 7.5-26.5 months). During the maintenance therapy, adverse events (AEs) were mostly Common Terminology Criteria for AE grade 1. CONCLUSIONS: While this trial did not meet the primary endpoint, the sufficient efficacy and feasibility of gemcitabine maintenance therapy were suggested. CI - (c) 2019 S. Karger AG, Basel.
