Abstract
- CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Liposomal daunorubicin has been used to treat hematological malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM). The goal was to evaluate efficacy, side-effects and toxicity of liposomal daunorubicin and dexamethasone ("DD Protocol"). DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective study at Sírio-Libanês, São Camilo, Brasil and Alemão Oswaldo Cruz hospitals. METHODS: Twenty consecutive patients with active MM received four cycles of liposomal daunorubicin intravenously for two hours (25-30 mg/m²/day) on three consecutive days per month, with oral dexamethasone (10 mg every six hours) on four consecutive days three times a month. RESULTS: The male/female ratio was 1:1 and median age 60. Nine patients were stage IIA, ten IIIA and one IIIB. The median from diagnosis to starting DD was 13 months. All patients received four cycles, except one. Fifteen had already received chemotherapy before DD. Responses of > 50% reduction in serum monoclonal paraprotein were observed in six patients after first cycle (30%), six after second (30%) and four after third (20%), while four (20%) did not obtain this. Initially, 17 patients (85%) had anemia: 12 (70%) achieved correction. Progressive disease was observed in three patients (15%), while one had minimal response, four (20%) partial and 12 (60%) complete. Hematological toxicity was acceptable: three patients (15%) had neutrophils < 1,000/mm³; none had thrombocytopenia. Gastrointestinal toxicity was mild: nausea (10%), anorexia (15%) and no vomiting. CONCLUSIONS: This treatment has mild toxicity and good response rate. It may therefore be feasible before autologous bone marrow transplantation. CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: A daunorrubicina lipossomal tem sido usada no tratamento em várias doenças hematológicas malignas, incluindo mieloma múltiplo (MM). O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficácia, efeitos colaterais e toxicidade da daunorrubicina lipossomal and dexametasona no Protocolo DD. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo prospectivo, realizado nos hospitais Sírio Libanês, São Camilo, Brasil e no Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz. MÉTODOS: 20 pacientes com MM ativo receberam daunoxome (25-30 mg/m²/dia) por três dias consecutivos, mensal, por quatro meses (total de quatro ciclos), e dexametasona, 10 mg a cada seis horas por quatro dias consecutivos (dia 1 - 4, 9 - 12 e 17 - 20), também mensal. RESULTADOS: A mediana entre o diagnóstico e o início do protocolo DD foi de 13 meses. Quinze pacientes receberam alguma quimioterapia anterior ao protocolo DD. Uma redução maior que 50% do pico monoclonal sérico foi observada em seis paciente após o primeiro ciclo do DD (30%), em seis pacientes após o segundo ciclo (30%), em quatro pacientes após o terceiro ciclo (20%) e em quatro pacientes não houve redução (20%). No início do protocolo, 17 pacientes (85%) apresentavam anemia e em 12 destes pacientes (70%) a anemia foi corrigida. Doença progressiva foi observada em três pacientes (15%), um apresentava resposta mínima, quatro pacientes (20%) apresentaram resposta parcial e 12 (60%) apresentaram resposta completa. A toxicidade hematológica foi aceitável.Toxicidade em trato gastrointestinal foi leve, consistindo em náusea (10%) e anorexia (15%), sem episódios de vômito. CONCLUSÃO: Este tratamento apresentou uma baixa toxicidade, uma boa taxa de resposta e pode ser usado previamente ao transplante de medula óssea autogênico.
