Abstract

BACKGROUND AND
OBJECTIVE: Distant metastasis was common in lung cancer, especially patients with bone marrow metastasis had poor prognosis and there were few effective methods. Crizotinib had been confirmed to be used in anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive lung adenocarcinoma, but the efficacy in lung cancer with bone marrow metastasis was unknown. In the present study, we reported one case of ALK-positive lung adenocarcinoma with bone marrow matastasis given crizotinib treatment, the safety and efficacy was summarized.
METHODS: ALK fusion was tested by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Crizotinib was given with dose of 250 mg, bid. Objective response was evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteriation in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1 and bone marrow response was evaluated by bone marrow puncture and biopsy. Adeverse events were evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTC AE) v4.0.
RESULTS: The patient achieved partial response (PR) after 6 weeks of crizotinib, especially the objective response of bone marrow metastasis was complete response (CR). The patient stopped crizotinib because of pneumonia. The progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was 20 weeks and 22 weeks respectively.
CONCLUSION: Crizotinib could be an effective method for ALKpositive lung cancer with bone marrow metastasis and showed good tolerance.

肺癌是中国乃至全球发病率和死亡率最高的肿瘤之一[,易发生远处转移,常见转移部位为脑、肝、骨、肾上腺、肺等,骨髓转移较为少见,且出现骨髓转移后,常为病程后期,治疗手段有限,预后极差。分子靶向药物的临床应用为伴骨髓转移的肺癌患者带来了新的治疗思路。本文报道了1例间变淋巴瘤激酶(anaplastic lymphoma kinase, ALK)阳性伴骨髓转移的晚期肺腺癌患者,经ALK抑制剂crizotinib(克唑替尼,Xalkori,赛可瑞)治疗后,客观疗效达部分缓解(partial response, PR),且骨髓完全缓解。通过文献复习,对其安全性和有效性进行分析和讨论。

临床资料

讨论

肺癌是全球发病率及死亡率最高的恶性肿瘤之一,其中85%为非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung caner, NSCLC)[,易出现远处转移,主要转移部位为骨、脑、肝、肾上腺等,但骨髓转移相对少见,总体而言,出现骨髓转移常意味着治疗效果不佳,预后极差,总生存期约3个月。 对于骨髓转移的肺癌患者,因出现严重骨髓抑制,造血功能不良,表现为外周血三系细胞减少,因此,需加强对症支持治疗,如注射粒细胞刺激因子、促血小板生成素等,或进行输血治疗。考虑骨髓抑制由肿瘤侵犯所致,上述治疗只能短暂提升三系细胞水平,因此需放疗、化疗的干预。既往报道显示,化疗药物治疗骨髓转移的疗效在小细胞肺癌(small cell lung cancer, SCLC)和NSCLC不同,SCLC骨髓转移患者对化疗较敏感,Asai[报道1例低剂量氨柔比星治疗SCLC骨髓转移达完全缓解。而NSCLC患者常因骨髓转移致外周血三系细胞减少,无化疗适应症,因此,少见化疗有效的报道。 ALK阳性肺癌是NSCLC的重要亚型,约占NSCLC的5%[,而在EGFR、KRAS、HER2或TP53等基因未发生突变的NSCLC患者中,ALK融合阳性的比例达25%[,部分报道中EGFR、KRAS均为野生型的腺癌中ALK阳性比例高达30%-42%[。Crizotinib是第一个口服的小分子ALK酪氨酸激酶抑制剂,先后进行的Ⅰ期、Ⅱ期、Ⅲ期临床研究证实了crizotinib治疗患有ALK融合或基因倒位的晚期NSCLC患者的安全性和有效性[,结果显示,ALK阳性的NSCLC患者,给予crizotinib 250 mg,bid,其有效率达65.3%,中位PFS 9个月,2年生存率55%。鉴于此结果,美国国立综合癌症网络(National Comprehensive Cancer Network, NCCN)指南推荐[,对于ALK阳性的NSCLC,首先建议给予crizotinib治疗,无论是一线治疗还是二线、三线或三线以后的治疗。更为重要的是,因为ALK阳性NSCLC是第一个明确靶点后再发现相应药物治疗的肺癌亚型,加之积累了EGFR-TKIs治疗肺癌的经验,此类患者治疗全程管理的重要性不言而喻[。 但在临床实践中,对于伴有骨髓转移的ALK融合型NSCLCcrizotinib治疗的有效性和安全性未见报道。在本病例中,患者发病时伴多处器官转移,骨髓为受侵器官之一,相关症状表现为:恶性贫血(最低Hb 68 mg/mL)、血小板减低(最低15×109/L)、重度乏力。考虑到标准铂二联化疗风险大,无法进行,故一线化疗采用培美曲塞二钠单药方案,未能控制病情。因FISH法检测ALK阳性,在一线化疗失败后开始口服crizotinib,6周后复查客观疗效,评价为PR,同时再次骨穿,证实骨髓局部疗效为完全缓解。患者共服药5个月,期间肿瘤控制稳定,未进展,无新发病灶,外周血检查在正常范围,耐受性好,体力状况明显好转,主要不良反应为crizotinib相关的轻度ALT/AST升高,无恶心、呕吐、视觉障碍等。 患者在服药19周时出现重症肺炎,经积极治疗效果欠佳,死于呼吸衰竭。复习文献可知,目前尚无crizotinib相关肺炎的报道,因此不能确定肺炎是否与crizotinib有关,仍需密切关注大样本临床用药数据。 该病例提示我们,crizotinib可随血行到达骨髓微环境,发挥局部抗肿瘤作用,较化疗药物有显著优势,所以针对ALK阳性伴骨髓转移的肺腺癌患者,crizotinib成为首选治疗方案。这是首次报道crizotinib治疗肺腺癌伴骨髓转移有效的病例。
