Carboplatin & Paclitaxel (CP)

CP: Carboplatin & Paclitaxel

Regimen

Study Dates of enrollment Evidence Comparator Comparative Efficacy
Forde et al. 2022 (CheckMate 816) 2017-2019 Phase 3 (C) 1a. CP & Nivolumab
1b. CVb & Nivolumab
1c. DC & Nivolumab
Inferior EFS

Note: there were additional comparator options depending on histology; see the respective histology-specific pages for more details. This study was conducted in the United States. The reason for the study was that an unanswered question at the time was whether adding an immune checkpoint inhibitor would improve outcomes.

Biomarker eligibility criteria

  • CheckMate 816: No sensitizing EGFR or ALK mutations

Chemotherapy

21-day cycle for 3 cycles

Subsequent treatment

Initial evaluation

May consist of:

  • CBC with differential
  • Pulse oximetry
  • Serum erythropoetin
  • JAK2 (V617F, exon 12 mutation)
  • Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP)
  • Reticulocyte count
  • Iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), ferritin
  • Clinical history of arterial or venous thromboembolism (VTE), stroke, post-bathing pruritis, facial plethora, headache, fatigue, visual changes

Secondary polycythemia?

  • Smoking
  • Chronic lung disease
  • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
  • Carbon monoxide (CO) exposure
    • Home heating: natural gas or oil?
    • Carbon monoxide detectors?
    • Carboxyhemoglobin
  • High altitude environments
  • Testosterone use
  • Erythropoetin use
  • Athletic blood doping/transfusions
  • Right to left cardiac shunt
  • Dehydration/diuretic use

Additional considerations

  • Renal ultrasound or other imaging to evaluate for erythropoetin-secreting renal tumor, pheochromocytoma
  • Chest x-ray
  • Urinalysis
  • Family history of high oxygen affinity hemoglobinopathies?
  • Cushing's syndrome?
  • Congenital polycythemia?
