それでは、発表された分子標的治療薬の臨床成績について紹介します。
まず、今回Phase Ⅲの中間成績が発表され、現在最も開発が進んでいるのがBAY 43-9006、
一般名sorafenib と言われている薬剤です。この薬剤は癌の増殖にかかわる二つの重要な要因、すなわち腫瘍細胞増殖と腫瘍血管新生に関与するキナーゼ群であるRAF、VEGFR-2、
VEGFR-3、PDGFR-β、KIT、そしてRET を標的とした経口投与薬です。
効果の評価対象となったsorafenib 群335例、プラセボ群337例でみますと、sorafenib 群でPR
2%(7例)と腫瘍縮小効果は高くはありません。しかしSD78%(261例)を加えた病勢コ
ントロール率は80%に上っています。また、今回最も注目されたのは、このような大規模の
試験で、プラセボ群のMedian PFS が12週であったのに対し、Sorafenib 群のそれは24週と、極
めて強い有意差をもってその延長効果が証明されたことです。薬剤関連有害事象としては、発疹、下痢、手足皮膚症候群、脱毛、疲労、掻痒、嘔気、高血圧などが比較的高頻度にみられましたが、グレード3と4の頻度は低く、忍容性は高いと思われました。本邦において、この薬は現在Phase Ⅱの段階にあり、その結果が大いに期待されます。

PURPOSE: This phase II randomized discontinuation trial evaluated the effects of sorafenib (BAY 43-9006), an oral multikinase inhibitor targeting the tumor and vasculature, on tumor growth in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients initially received oral sorafenib 400 mg twice daily during the initial run-in period. After 12 weeks, patients with changes in bidimensional tumor measurements that were less than 25% from baseline were randomly assigned to sorafenib or placebo for an additional 12 weeks; patients with 25% tumor shrinkage continued open-label sorafenib; patients with 25% tumor growth discontinued treatment. The primary end point was the percentage of randomly assigned patients remaining progression free at 24 weeks after the initiation of sorafenib.

RESULTS: Of 202 patients treated during the run-in period, 73 patients had tumor shrinkage of 25%. Sixty-five patients with stable disease at 12 weeks were randomly assigned to sorafenib (n = 32) or placebo (n = 33). At 24 weeks, 50% of the sorafenib-treated patients were progression free versus 18% of the placebo-treated patients (P = .0077). Median progression-free survival (PFS) from randomization was significantly longer with sorafenib (24 weeks) than placebo (6 weeks; P = .0087). Median overall PFS was 29 weeks for the entire renal cell carcinoma population (n = 202). Sorafenib was readministered in 28 patients whose disease progressed on placebo; these patients continued on sorafenib until further progression, for a median of 24 weeks. Common adverse events were skin rash/desquamation, hand-foot skin reaction, and fatigue; 9% of patients discontinued therapy, and no patients died from toxicity.

CONCLUSION: Sorafenib has significant disease-stabilizing activity in metastatic renal cell carcinoma and is tolerable with chronic daily therapy.
