Abstract
The incidence and mortality of cancer is ever-increasing, which poses a significant challengesto human health and a substantial economic burden to patients. At present, chemotherapy is still a primary treatment for various cancers. However, chemotherapy kills tumors but also induces the related side effects, whichadversely impacting patient quality of life and exacerbating suffering. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new and effective treatments that can control tumor growth while reducing the side effects for patients. Arterial chemoembolization has been attracted much attentionwhich attributed to the advantage of ability to embolize tumor vessels to block blood and nutrition supplies. Thus, to achieve local tumor control, it has become an effective means of local tumor control and has been widely used in clinical practice. Despite its efficacy, conventional arterial chemoembolization techniques, limited by embolization materials, have been associated with incomplete embolization and suboptimal drug delivery outcomes. Gradually, researchers have shifted their attention to a new type of embolic material called CalliSperes® drug-eluting embolic bead (DEB). DEB can not only load high doses of drugs, but also has strong sustained drug release ability and good biocompatibility. The integration of DEBs with traditional arterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) promises targeted vascular embolization, mitigated tumor ischemia and hypoxia, and direct intravascular chemotherapy delivery. It can prevent cancer cell differentiation and accelerate their death, meanwhile, directly injecting chemotherapy drugs into the target blood vessels reduced the blood concentration of the whole body, thus reduced the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy. Furthermore, DEB-TACE's sustained drug release capability elevates local drug concentrations at the tumor site, amplifying its antitumor efficacy. Therefore, DEB-TACE has become a hot spot in clinical research worldwide. This review introduces the pathogenesis of solid tumors, the background of research and biological characteristics of DEB, and the action mechanism of DEB-TACE, as well as its clinical research in various solid tumors and future prospects. This review aims to provide new ideas for the treatment of DEB-TACE in various solid tumors.

BMC Cancer 2023; 23:1144. [PMID: 38001447 PMCID: PMC10675937 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11668-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our objective was to assess the efficacy and safety of initial hepatic arterial infusion of chemotherapy combined with transarterial chemoembolisation using camrelizumab-eluting Callisphere beads (camrelizumab-DEB-TACE) for treating unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Enrolment included patients with unresectable HCC who underwent camrelizumab-DEB-TACE treatment from September 2021 to February 2023. The assessment included the examination of tumour response, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and the monitoring of adverse events (AEs). RESULTS Twenty-one patients were included in the study. The objective response rates (ORR) and disease control rates (DCR) were 55.0% and 90.0% at 1 month and 57.9% and 78.9% at 3 months, respectively. The median PFS and OS were 7.4 and 15.5 months months, respectively. Among the 21 patients, 4 underwent more than 2 procedures of camrelizumab-DEB-TACE, with a mean of 1.9 ± 1.1 procedures (range: 1-4) per patient. No severe complications or treatment-related mortalities were observed. In addition, no patient developed severe AEs related to camrelizumab, such as reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation, immune-related pneumonia, or immune-related myocarditis. Nineteen patients experienced at least one type of AEs related to DEB-TACE, with abdominal pain (n = 16, 76.2%) being the most prevalent AE. CONCLUSION Camrelizumab-DEB-TACE demonstrated effectiveness and safety as a treatment for unresectable HCC, with no occurrence of severe camrelizumab-related AEs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Raltitrexed shows therapeutic effects and safety in many types of malignant tumors. However, reports of the clinical outcomes of raltitrexed-based transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or drug-eluting beads TACE (DEB-TACE) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are rare. We aim to report the preliminary outcomes of DEB-TACE loaded with raltitrexed in patients with unresectable or recurrent HCC. METHODS From June 2018 to March 2020, 29 patients with unresectable or recurrent HCC were recruited from our department and treated by DEB-TACE loaded with raltitrexed. Overall survival and progression-free survival were the primary end points. Tumor response was investigated by using the modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST) criteria. RESULTS A total of 49 sessions of DEB-TACE were performed, with a technique success rate of 100%. The overall response rate and disease control rate at 1, 3, and 6 months after DEB-TACE were 72.0% and 96.0%, 57.1% and 85.7%, 47.6% and 66.7% respectively. The median progression-free survival and overall survival was 25.7 and 33.9 months, respectively. The 6-, 24- and 36-month overall survival rates were 88.4%, 66.3% and 46.3%, respectively. Minor complications were observed in 17 patients (58.6%), with no treatment-related mortality or severe adverse events. The most common treatment-related complications were abdominal pain (41.4%) and elevated ALT/AST (27.6%). CONCLUSION DEB-TACE loaded with raltitrexed is suggested as a safe, feasible, efficacious palliative regimen in unresectable or recurrent HCC patients.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to prospectively observe the efficacy and safety of CalliSpheres drug-eluting beads bronchial arterial chemoembolization (DEB-BACE) for refractory non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods The interventional therapy plan was as follows: 300-500 μm CalliSpheres drug-loaded microspheres were loaded with epirubicin, and then slow embolization of tumor supplying artery was performed after microcatheter superselection. Chest enhanced computed tomography and related hematological examination were reviewed after 2 months of DEB-BACE, and the tumor response after the first interventional therapy was evaluated using modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors. The overall survival (OS) of patients was determined, and the quality of life and the incidence rate of adverse reactions were observed. Results From January 2019 to January 2021, 43 patients with refractory NSCLC were enrolled. The patients were followed up until June 2022. All 43 patients underwent DEB-BACE 1.79 ± 0.69 times on average. The 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month survival rates were 100%, 86.0%, 41.9%, and 11.8%, respectively. The median OS was 11.5 months. After the first interventional treatment, cough and wheezing significantly improved in 31 patients, hemoptysis was effectively controlled in 12 patients, and superior vena cava compression disappeared in 2 patients after 2 times of treatment. The general health status of the patients after treatment significantly improved compared with that before treatment, including the improvement in physical and emotional functions. Fatigue, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, and insomnia improved significantly after treatment. No serious adverse events, such as spinal cord injury and cerebral embolism, were observed during the perioperative period. The main adverse reaction after DEB-BACE was chest pain (13/43, grade 1) followed by fever (10/43, grade 1-2), which was significantly relieved within 3-5 days after symptomatic treatment. Other adverse reactions included irritating cough, nausea and vomiting, and bone marrow suppression, and the incidence was less than 20%. Conclusions DEB-BACE was effective and safe in treating refractory NSCLC, which could significantly improve patients' quality of life and was worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:1079707. [PMID: 36518678 PMCID: PMC9742261 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.1079707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Aim: Drug-eluting beads are usually applied for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Oxaliplatin was suggested as first-line therapy for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. However, there has been little investigation about the application of drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) with oxaliplatin-loaded CalliSpheres beads (CB) for the treatment of unresectable or advanced lung cancer. We aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of oxaliplatin-loaded DEB-TACE for the treatment of unresectable or advanced lung cancer. Methods: From January 2019 to December 2021, all patients with primary unresectable or advanced lung cancer who underwent DEB-TACE with oxaliplatin-loaded CB were retrospectively enrolled. This study defined overall survival and objective response rate (ORR) as the primary endpoints, disease control rate (DCR) and progression-free survival (PFS) as the secondary endpoints. Results: A total of 33 sessions of DEB-TACE were performed in 20 patients, with a mean of 1.7 ± 1.0 sessions. A total of 55 arteries were emoblized by CB, including 40 bronchial arteries, 13 intercostal arteries, one suprarenal artery and one inferior phrenical artery. No procedural-related mortality or severe complications were observed. The median tumor diameter was 49.0 [Interquartile range (IQR) 37.8-66.8] mm before DEB-TACE, and decreased to 38.8 (IQR 27.7-56.9), 26.1 (IQR 19.1-48.8), and 20.5 (IQR 13.1-49.7) mm at 1, 3 and 6 months later (p = 0.04). The ORR and DCR at 1, 3, and 6 months after DEB-TACE were 28.6% and 92.9%, 38.5% and 84.6%, 30.8% and 61.5%, respectively. The median PFS and median overall survival was 9.9 and 29.6 months, respectively. Conclusion: DEB-TACE with oxaliplatin-loaded CB is suggested as a safe, effective and well-tolerated treatment for patients with unresectable or advanced lung cancer.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To explore the safety and efficacy of drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) loaded with oxaliplatin for stage III-IV non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS From October 2018 to May 2021, a total of 31 patients with stage III-IV NSCLC received DEB-TACE loaded with oxaliplatin. Demographic characteristics, adverse events (AEs), and treatment responses were collected. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS All 31 patients successfully received DEB-TACE loaded with oxaliplatin. No procedure-related severe adverse events occurred. Hemoptysis symptoms presented in 8 patients but disappeared within 1-3 days. After DEB-TACE for 1, 2, and 6 months, the objective response rate (ORR) was 42%, 35%, and 26%, while the disease control rate (DCR) was 90%, 84% and 61%, respectively. The median PFS was 7 months (range 1-31 months), and the PFS rates at 3, 6, and 12 months were 87%, 71% and 29%, respectively. The median OS was 11 months (range 1-31 months), with OS rates of 87%, 77%, and 39% at 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. CONCLUSION Oxaliplatin-loaded DEB-TACE is a feasible, safe, and effective treatment for patients with advanced refractory non-small-cell lung cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although raltitrexed shows therapeutic effects in many types of malignant tumors, the therapeutic effects and safety of drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) loaded with raltitrexed for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are rare. This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of DEB-TACE with raltitrexed-loaded CalliSpheres beads (CB) in patients with unresectable or recurrent HCC. METHODS Between May 2018 and October 2021, 41 patients with unresectable or recurrent HCC treated by DEB-TACE loaded with raltitrexed were retrospectively enrolled. The primary end points were overall survival and progression-free survival. The response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) criteria and modified RECIST criteria (mRECIST) were used to assess the tumor response after the DEB-TACE procedure. RESULTS A total of 79 DEB-TACE procedures were successfully performed, and the technical success rate was 100%. The overall response rate and disease control rate assessed by mRECIST criteria were 76.9% and 88.5%, 62.5% and 70.8%, and 35.3% and 47.1%, respectively, at 1, 3, and 6 months postprocedure. The mean progression-free survival and overall survival were 21.6 ± 3.6 and 43.7 ± 5.8 months, respectively. The 6-, 24-, and 36-month overall survival rates were 86.8%, 62.7%, and 57.1%, respectively. Minor complications were observed in 21 patients (51.2%), with no treatment-related mortality or severe adverse events. The most common treatment-related complications were abdominal pain (48.8%) and nausea (29.3%). CONCLUSION DEB-TACE with raltitrexed-loaded CB suggests a feasible, safe, and efficacious palliative regimen in unresectable or recurrent HCC patients.

Abstract
Aim: Drug-eluting beads-transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) has been widely used in unresectable and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, no study reported the clinical outcomes of drug-eluting beads TACE (DEB-TACE) with oxaliplatin-eluting CalliSpheres microspheres in the treatment of HCC. This study reports the preliminary outcomes of DEB-TACE loaded with oxaliplatin for the treatment of patients with unresectable or recurrent HCC. Methods: From November 2019 to November 2021, 29 patients with unresectable or recurrent HCC were recruited from our department and treated by DEB-TACE loaded with oxaliplatin. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints were disease control rate and safety. Tumor response was investigated at 1, 3, and 6 months after DEB-TACE according to the criteria of the response evaluation in solid tumor (RECIST) criteria and the modified RECIST criteria (mRECIST). Survival curve was generated with the Kaplan–Meier method. Results: A total of 49 DEB-TACE sessions were performed, with a technical success rate of 100%. The overall response rate and disease control rate were 52.4 and 95.2%, 64.7 and 76.5%, and 54.5 and 63.3%, respectively, at 1, 3, and 6 months after DEB-TACE (mRECIST). The PFS was 5.9 months, and the median overall survival was 18.8 months. The 6- and 12-month overall survival rate was 82.5% and 67.5%, respectively, No treatment-related mortality or severe adverse events were observed. Minor complications were observed in 21 patients (72.4%), and abdominal pain (41.4%) was the most common treatment-related complication. Conclusion: DEB-TACE loaded with oxaliplatin-eluting CalliSpheres microspheres could be a safe, feasible, and efficacious palliative regimen in unresectable or recurrent HCC patients.

Abstract
Objective We reported the long-term outcomes of transcatheter chemoembolization (TACE) for patients with late-stage or recurrent oral carcinoma. Methods This retrospective study enrolled 18 patients with late-stage or recurrent oral carcinoma between December 2015 and April 2021. The tumor-feeding artery was catheterized, and cisplatin/oxaliplatin and 5-FU/raltitrexed were infused with embolization using polyvinyl alcohol or gelatin sponge. Computed tomography was performed at about 1, 3, and 6 months after the procedure, and every 6 months after that. During the procedure and follow-up, procedure outcomes, complications, treatment efficacy, and overall survival were analyzed. Results A total of 31 sessions of TACE were performed, with a technical success rate of 100%. Of 12 patients combined with oral hemorrhage, two patients showed rebleeding 35 and 37 days later, with a clinical efficiency of hemostasis of 88.9%. Mild complications were observed in 11 patients (61.1%). Severe complications or procedure-related deaths were not observed during or after the procedure. The objective response rate and disease control rate were 20.0% and 86.7%, 38.5% and 61.5%, and 25.0% and 50.0% at 1, 3, and 6 months later, respectively. Seventeen patients (94.4%) were followed up, with a median duration of 37.8 months (IQR 22.3–56.8). Nine patients died of tumor progression, one died of massive rebleeding, and one died of severe lung infection. The median overall survival was 23.8 months. Conclusion TACE is a safe and effective procedure with minimal invasiveness for treating late-stage or recurrent oral carcinoma. TACE can be recommended as a palliative treatment, particularly for patients with oral hemorrhage.

Bi Y, Jiao D, Wang Y, Han X, Ren J. Preliminary outcomes of raltitrexed eluting bead-transarterial chemoembolization using Callispheres® beads for gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma liver metastasis. World J Surg Oncol 2022; 20:229. [PMID: 35821043 PMCID: PMC9277920 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-022-02696-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) with Callispheres® beads (CB) is currently used in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, clinical data regarding DEB-TACE using raltitrexed-eluting CB for gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma liver metastases (GALM) treatment is limited. We aimed to report the preliminary outcomes of DEB-TACE using CB in unresectable GALM patients. Methods This retrospective study enrolled unresectable GALM patients who were treated with DEB-TACE using raltitrexed-eluting CB from October 2018 to October 2021. Totally, 25 patients, 18 males and 7 females, mean age 66.8±9.5 years, were continuously enrolled. Postoperative treatment response, survival rates, and complication were calculated during the procedure and follow-up. Results Twenty-four patients were technically successful, with a technical success rate of 96.0%. The 3-month overall response rate and disease control rate were 21.7% and 73.9%, and 6-month overall response rate and disease control rate were 30.0% and 65.0%. The median survival time from diagnosis of GALM was 31.3 months. The median survival time and median PFS from first DEB-TACE was 21.3 months (95% confidence interval 9.1–33.5) and 10.7 months (3.7–17.7), respectively. Main adverse events included abdominal pain (36.0%), fever (12.0%), and nausea/vomiting (28.0%) after DEB-TACE. No treatment-related deaths and grade 3 or grade 4 adverse events were observed. Conclusions DEB-TACE using raltitrexed eluting CB was demonstrated as a safe and efficient alternative choice for GALM.

[PMID: 35581365 PMCID: PMC9113996 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-12334-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The safety and efficacy of drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) for unresectable renal cell carcinoma (RCC) still unknown. We aimed to assess the feasibility, safety and clinical efficacy of DEB-TACE with doxorubicin-loaded CalliSpheres beads (CB) in patients with unresectable RCC. Between 2016 and 2020, thirty-five patients with unresectable RCC underwent DEB-TACE with doxorubicin-loaded CB. The objective response rate (ORR) was the primary endpoint, and overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were the secondary endpoints. Fifteen-seven times of DEB-TACE were performed in 35 patients using doxorubicin-loaded (median 60 mg) CB. Fifteen patients underwent an additional session of DEB-TACE, with intervals of 1 to 1.5 months. Twenty-one patients underwent transarterial infusion with cisplatin or oxaliplatin before DEB-TACE. The median follow-up time was 9.0 months (Range 1.8–43.6 months). ORR and DCR were 47.1% and 94.1%, 29.0% and 87.1%, 23.1% and 84.6% respectively at 1-, 3-, and 6- months after DEB-TACE. The median PFS was 21.4 months, and the 3-, 6- and 12- month PFS rates were 84.7%, 73.7% and 62.3%, respectively. The median OS was 24.6 months, and the 3-, 6- and 12- month OS rates were 93.9%, 87.6% and 65.2%, respectively. There were no treatment-related deaths or severe adverse events of grade 3 or more. In conclusion, DEB-TACE with doxorubicin-loaded CB is a safe, feasible and effective palliative treatment option for patients with unresectable RCC.

[PMID: 35569787 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvir.2022.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Revised: 04/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of chemoembolization with drug-eluting embolic (DEE) microspheres in patients with recurrent and advanced head and neck cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 32 patients (mean age, 57.2 ± 2.8 years; 17 women) with recurrent (n=16) and advanced (n=16) head and neck cancer were treated with chemoembolization with DEE microspheres loaded with doxorubicin. Treatment response, overall survival, local progression-free survival, and adverse events were evaluated. RESULTS At six months after the procedure, the objective response and disease control rates were 25% and 69%, respectively. The median overall survival and local progression-free survival were 14.5 and 13.6 months, respectively. Seven patients (22%) experienced adverse events after the chemoembolization procedure. All adverse events were related to post-embolization syndrome, including vomiting and nausea (n=1), pyrexia (n=2) and localized pain (n=7). No severe adverse events or procedure-related deaths were observed. CONCLUSION Chemoembolization with DEE microspheres was safe and tolerable in patients with recurrent and advanced head and neck cancer.

[PMID: 34476534 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-021-03267-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2021] [Revised: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 08/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To study the clinical efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) among women with advanced-stage or recurrent cervical cancer. METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled women with cervical cancer who were treated by DEB-TACE between April 3, 2017 and July 12, 2021. Inclusion criteria were pathologic diagnosis of cervical cancer, II-IVa period, being aged 18 to 80 years, patient's inclination of treatment with DEB-TACE, and complete clinicopathologic data. Direct medical cost, hospital stay, resection frequency, treatment responses, adverse events, overall survival, and progression-free survival were investigated. RESULTS A total of 16 women with cervical cancer were treated by DEB-TACE. DEB-TACE was successfully performed in all patients, with no major complications or adverse events. A total of 10 minor complications were observed in 9 women (56.3%) after the procedure. Seven (43.8%) women experienced mild to moderate post-embolization pain. The tumors decreased 3 and 6 months after the treatment. The frequency of complete response, partial response, stable disease, and progressive disease was 1 (40%), 3 (40%), 12 (15%), and 0 (0%), respectively, resulting in an objective response rate of 25.0% and a disease control rate of 100.0% after 1 month. The median hospital stay was 9.5 days, and the direct medical cost was 5.9 × 104 ¥. The median follow-up time was 4.1 months (interquartile range 2.6-23.7 months). The median overall survival was 19.1 months, and the 1- and 3-year survival rate was 64.9% and 46.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION DEB-TACE with diamminedichloroplatinum-preloaded beads may be an effective and safe treatment for women with advanced-stage or recurrent cervical cancer.
