Durvalumab plus carboplatin-etoposide treatment in a patient with small-cell lung cancer on hemodialysis: a case report and literature review. Int Cancer Conf J 2024; 13:88-92. [PMID: 38524642 PMCID: PMC10957816 DOI: 10.1007/s13691-023-00640-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Little is known about the efficacy and safety of durvalumab plus carboplatin-etoposide treatment in patients with extensive-disease (ED) small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) on hemodialysis. Here, we present a case of a 67-year-old man with pleuroperitoneal communication on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis who was diagnosed with ED-SCLC based on a cytological analysis of the peritoneal fluid. He was switched from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis and received durvalumab (1500 mg/body on day 1) plus carboplatin (area under the concentration-time curve = 5, 125 mg on day 1) and etoposide (50 mg/m2 on days 1 and 3) as first-line therapy. During the first cycle, grade 2 anemia, grade 3 neutropenia, and grade 3 upper gastrointestinal bleeding occurred; therefore, durvalumab and reduced doses of carboplatin and etoposide were administered. No other severe adverse events occurred, and a partial response was observed after four cycles. Our findings indicate that durvalumab plus carboplatin-etoposide treatment is safe and effective even in patients on hemodialysis.

Abraham S, Samson A. Case report: Successful treatment of a patient undergoing haemodialysis with multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma using atezolizumab and bevacizumab. Front Oncol 2024; 13:1279501. [PMID: 38239658 PMCID: PMC10794777 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1279501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2024] Open
Abstract
In the last five years, the advent of combination immune checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab and anti-angiogenic agent bevacizumab has transformed treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. As patient outcomes improve, healthcare professionals will more frequently encounter patients with concomitant hepatocellular cancer and end stage kidney disease on haemodialysis. We present the first case in the literature of a 58-year-old male with multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma undertaking regular haemodialysis who was successfully treated with atezolizumab and bevacizumab with a partial response and stable disease for two years, who suffered grade 1 fatigue, grade 2 hypertension and eventually grade 3 wound infection leading to cessation of bevacizumab. After disease progression on atezolizumab monotherapy, all chemotherapy was stopped. We embed this case in a review of the current literature of atezolizumab and bevacizumab use in patients undertaking haemodialysis and conclude that both targeted therapies may be safely used in these patients. We recommend joint close management of these patients between oncology and nephrology teams, with initial cardiovascular risk stratification before commencing atezolizumab and bevacizumab therapy. During therapy, there should be regular monitoring of blood pressure, or proteinuria if the patient is oliguric under guidance of the dialysis team if preservation of residual renal function is required.

Tolerability and efficacy of IMpower133 regimen modified for dialysis patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer: Two case reports. Thorac Cancer 2021; 12:2956-2960. [PMID: 34587368 PMCID: PMC8563152 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.14166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2021] [Revised: 09/08/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The IMpower133 regimen, composed of atezolizumab/etoposide (VP-16)/carboplatin (CBDCA), is the standard first-line treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). However, the safety and efficacy of triplet therapy in patients receiving dialysis have not been sufficiently evaluated. Here, we report two cases of dialysis patients with ES-SCLC who received the modified IMpower133 regimen. Patient 1 was a 69-year-old man, and patient 2 was a 73-year-old man who received dialysis because of end-stage renal failure caused by diabetic nephropathy. Both patients received a modified IMpower133 regimen in the following order: atezolizumab (1200 mg/body) on day 1, VP-16 (50 mg/m2 ) on days 1 and 3, and CBDCA (300 mg/m2 ) on day 1. Four hours of dialysis was performed 1 hour after completing the administration of CBDCA on Day 1 and 2 hours after completing the administration of VP-16 on Day 3. Both patients achieved a partial response and received atezolizumab maintenance therapy after four cycles of triplet therapy without uncontrollable adverse events. By modifying the dosage, the order of drugs, and the timing of dialysis, the IMpower133 regimen may be tolerable and effective for patients receiving dialysis.
