- Abstract
- BACKGROUND. SKI-2053 R (SK Chemicals; Kyungki-Do, South Korea) is a new platinum derivative with antitumor activity against various cell lines, including cisplatin-resistant tumor cell lines. Preclinical studies have suggested that it is less nephrotoxic than cisplatin. This study evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of SKI-2053R in the treatment of patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. METHODS. Thirty-seven patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma that was unresectable or metastatic were treated. No prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy was allowed. Patients received SKI-2053R 360 mg/m(2) by 1-hour infusion on Day. After the first cycle, subsequent doses were adjusted according to the toxicity. Courses were repeated every 28 days. RESULTS. Thirty-five patients were evaluable for response and toxicity. Six patients achieved a major response (17%; 95% confidence interval, 8-33%); 2 were complete and 4 were partial responses. The median duration of response was 7.2 months, with a range of 1-20 months. Patients could tolerate the treatment without significant toxicity. No patients had Grade 3 or 4 toxicity. The most frequent toxicity was Grade 1 or 2 proteinuria (26% of cycles), but it was mild and transient. Leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, azotemia, nausea and vomiting, and neurotoxicity were not frequent. These low toxicity profiles indicated that the dose of SKI-2053R could be increased in future studies. CONCLUSIONS. SKI-2053R was active in the treatment of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and had favorable toxicity profiles. Cancel 1999;86:1109-15. (C) 1999 American Cancer Society.
