Abstract:
e21517 Background: Trabectedin has emerged as an effective agent for aSTS pts pretreated with anthracyclines and ifosfamide. Recent data suggest that RECIST criteria could underestimate tumor response. Methods: ASTS pts who received trabectedin as 2nd or further line of treatment were retrospectively reviewed. Tumor response was assessed using RECIST, mChoi and MASS criteria. A good response according to mChoi Criteria was defined as ≥ 10% mean decrease in tumor size or a ≥ 15% decrease in tumor attenuation on contrast-enhanced CT images. Predominantly solid enhancing target lesions were evaluated for marked central necrosis or marked decreased attenuation on axial contrast-enhanced CT images by MASS Criteria. Results: From May 2009 to December 2012, 30 pts with aSTS received trabectedin; pts characteristics are summarized in the table. Median number of previous treatment lines was 2 (range 1-5); median number of cycles administered was 4 (range 1–22 cycles). Treatment was well tolerated; main causes of dose-reduction were hematological and liver toxicities. Median progression free survival (PFS) was 8 wks (95% CI: 2-14); median overall survival (OS) was 44 wks (95% CI: 18-94). According to RECIST, 4 pts (15.4%)obtained a partial response (PR)), 9 pts (34.6%) achieved a stable disease (SD); tumor control rate was 50%. 13 pts (43%) obtained a progression of disease (PD). CT Scans of 13 pts were available for comparison of different response assessment methods (2 RP, 5 SD, and 6 PD). In our small series of pts concordance between the three radiologic methods tested was 90%. Conclusions: In aSTS patients treated with trabectedin, there is substantial concordance between mChoi, MASS and RECIST criteria. Prospective validation of the potential role of mChoi and MASS criteria in this setting is warranted. [Table: see text]
