Résumé

The effect of high-dose pyridoxine (PN) on activity of 5-fluorouracil (FUra) and folinic acid (FA)-containing regimens was studied in 50 patients including 14 with digestive tract, and 36 with breast carcinomas (BC) in advanced stages with poor prognostic characteristics. Patients with colorectal, and pancreas adenocarcinoma received oxaliplatin, irinotecan, FUra, FA (Folfirinox), and patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus had paclitaxel, carboplatin, FUra, FA (TCbF). Patients with BC received AVCF (doxorubicin, vinorelbine, cyclophosphamide, FUra, FA) followed by TCbF or TCbF only, and patients who overexpressed HER2 received TCbF plus trastuzumab and pertuzumab. PN (1000-3000 mg/day iv) preceded each administration of FUra and FA. 47 patients (94%) responded, including 16 (32%) with CR. Median tumor reduction was 93%. Median event-free survival (EFS) was 37.7 months. The 25 patients with tumor shrinkage ≥ 91% had EFS of 52% from 42 months onwards. Unexpected toxicity did not occur. PN enhances potency of chemotherapy regimens comprising FUra and FA.
