Topotecan Hydrochloride (Page 6 of 6)
14.3 Cervical Cancer
The efficacy of topotecan hydrochloride for injection was evaluated in a multi-center, randomized (1:1), open-label study (Study GOG 0179) conducted in 147 patients with histologically confirmed Stage IV-B, recurrent, or persistent cervical cancer considered not amenable to curative treatment with surgery and/or radiation. Patients were randomized to topotecan hydrochloride for injection (0.75 mg/m2 once daily intravenously for 3 consecutive days starting on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle) with cisplatin (50 mg/m2 intravenously on Day 1) or cisplatin as a single agent. Fifty-six percent of patients treated with topotecan hydrochloride with cisplatin and 56% of patients treated with cisplatin had received prior cisplatin with or without other agents as first-line chemotherapy. The efficacy outcome measure was OS.
Median OS of eligible patients receiving topotecan hydrochloride with cisplatin was 9.4 months (95% CI: 7.9, 11.9) compared with 6.5 months (95% CI: 5.8, 8.8) among patients randomized to cisplatin alone with a log rank P — value of 0.033 (significance level was 0.044 after adjusting for the interim analysis). The unadjusted hazard ratio for OS was 0.76 (95% CI: 0.59, 0.98).
