[Erlotinib plus gemcitabine combination therapy in patients with unresectable advanced pancreatic cancer - a single-institution experience].
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in Japan. Erlotinib plus gemcitabine( GEM) combination therapy provided significant improvements in the overall and progression-free survival in a phase III trial in Canada and a phase II trial in Japan. As a result, this combination therapy was approved for use in Japan. We evaluated the efficacy of erlotinib plus GEM in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. GEM at a dose of 1,000 mg/m2 was administered on days 1, 8, and 15 in a 4-week cycle. Erlotinib was taken orally at 100 mg/day until disease progression or unmanageable toxicity. Between October 2011 and April 2013, 9 patients were enrolled. The mean age was 62.3 years (range, 48-70 years), and 66.7% of patients were men. Eight patients had no prior therapy. All patients had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0. Eight patients had metastatic and 1 had locally advanced disease. Five patients had a history of smoking. The median duration of erlotinib administration was 133 days, and the median dose intensity was 100 mg/day, with the majority of patients( 88.9%) receiving 100% of the relative dose intensity. The median duration of GEM treatment was 5 cycles, and its median dose intensity was 890 mg/m2/week, with approximately half of the patients (66.7%) receiving >85% of the relative dose intensity. The most frequently reported adverse event was skin rash, which occurred in 44.4% of the patients. Other common non-hematological adverse events included facial edema, diarrhea, nausea, depilation, pruritus, and cholangitis. Most patients experienced some degree of hematological toxicity, with Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, leukopenia, and anemia. Interstitial lung disease was not observed. The median overall survival was 7.63 months, and the 1-year survival rate was 15%. The median progression-free survival was 5.60 months. The overall response rate was 11.1%,and the disease control rate was 88.9% [complete response (CR), n =0; partial response( PR), n=1; stable disease( SD), n=7]. In conclusion, erlotinib plus GEM combination therapy is well tolerated and associated with efficacy and survival outcomes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
