Survival Of Advanced Melanoma Patients With Normal Ldh Treated With Oblimersen, Temozolomide, And Nab-Paclitaxel
JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY(2009)
Abstract
9080 Background: Oblimersen (OBL), temozolomide (TMZ), and abraxane (ABX) act synergistically in preclinical studies with melanoma cell lines. Bcl-2 antisense therapy in combination with dacarbazine was encouraging in advanced melanoma patients(pts) with normal LDH. Methods: Chemotherapy-naive advanced melanoma pts (ECOG PS ≤ 2, baseline LDH ≤1.1 × ULN, measurable disease per RECIST) were enrolled on a phase I/II protocol. The treatment regimen consisted of 56-day cycles of OBL (7 mg/kg/d continuous IV infusion, d 1–7 and 22–28), TMZ (75 mg/m2/d, d 1–42), and ABX (175 mg/m2 in Cohort 1, 260 mg/m2 in Cohort 2, d 7 and 28). Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, BAK and caspase 3 was performed in pre- and post-therapy tumor samples. Serum shed collagen cryptic epitope levels were monitored. Results: 18 pts were treated (Cohort 1 = 14 pts [1–6 cycles];Cohort 2 = 4 pts [2–3 cycles]). Median age was 58 years (range: 34–78). Disease sites included liver (6), other visceral sites (10), skin, subcu...
