ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib-based therapy as a salvage therapy for patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma, including soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and bone sarcoma.METHODS:
Patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma were divided into two groups. One group received fruquintinib monotherapy, while the other received fruquintinib combined therapy. Safety and efficacy of fruquintinib-based therapy were recorded and reviewed retrospectively, including progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and adverse events (AEs).RESULTS:
Between August 2021 and December 2022, 38 sarcoma patients were retrospectively included. A total of 14 patients received fruquintinib alone (including 6 STS and 8 bone sarcoma), while 24 were treated with fruquintinib combined therapy (including 2 STS and 22 bone sarcoma). The median follow-up was 10.2 months (95% CI, 6.4-11.5). For the entire population, the median PFS was 8.0 months (95% CI, 5.5-13.0). The ORR was 13.1%, while the disease control rate (DCR) was 86.8%. The univariate analysis showed that radiotherapy history (HR, 4.56; 95% CI, 1.70-12.24; p = 0.003), bone sarcoma (HR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.14-0.87; p = 0.024), and treatment method of fruquintinib (HR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.15-0.85; p = 0.021) were significantly associated with PFS. The multivariate analysis showed that patients without radiotherapy history were associated with a better PFS (HR, 3.71; 95% CI 1.31-10.55; p = 0.014) than patients with radiotherapy history. Patients in combination group reported pneumothorax (8.3%), leukopenia (33.3%), thrombocytopenia (12.5%), diarrhea (4.2%), and anemia (4.2%) as the most frequent grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs), while there was no severe TEAEs occurred in the monotherapy group.CONCLUSIONS:
Fruquintinib-based therapy displayed an optimal tumor control and an acceptable safety profile in patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma.Palabras clave
