Neoadjuvant therapy

MA-BCD

MA-BCD: High-dose Methotrexate, Adriamycin (Doxorubicin), Bleomycin, Cyclophosphamide, Dactinomycin

Regimen

Study Dates of enrollment Evidence Comparator Comparative Efficacy
Winkler et al. 1984 (COSS-80) 1979-1982 Phase 3 (C) MAP Did not meet primary endpoint of CDF rate

Note: The exact schedule is unclear based on limited/conflicting information in the reference. For example, Figure 1 appears to depict high-dose methotrexate starting 2 weeks after adriamycin, but the text says that methotrexate begins after a 3-week rest period. Additionally, the diagram in Figure 1 implies that the later therapies are given 4 times (once, then repeated x 3 cycles), but based on the cumulative doses listed, they are only given for a total of 3 cycles. The optional interferon arm is omitted given lack of benefit seen in the study.

Chemotherapy

  • Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) as follows:
    • Cycles 1, 3, 4: 45 mg/m2 IV bolus once per day on days 1 & 2
    • Cycle 2: 45 mg/m2 IV bolus once per day on days 15 & 16 (delayed during cycle 2 until after surgery)
  • Methotrexate (MTX) as follows:
    • Cycle 1: 12,000 mg/m2 (maximum dose of 20,000 mg) IV over 4 hours once per day on days 22 & 29
    • Cycles 2 to 4: 12,000 mg/m2 (maximum dose of 20,000 mg) IV over 4 hours once per day on days 1, 8, 29, 36
    • MTX is dissolved at a concentration of 20,000 mg/L in a solution containing 5% glucose
  • Bleomycin (Blenoxane) as follows:
    • Cycle 1: 12 mg/m2 IV bolus once per day on days 36 & 37
    • Cycles 2 to 4: 12 mg/m2 IV bolus once per day on days 43 & 44
  • Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) as follows:
    • Cycle 1: 600 mg/m2 IV bolus once per day on days 36 & 37
    • Cycles 2 to 4: 600 mg/m2 IV bolus once per day on days 43 & 44
  • Dactinomycin (Cosmegen) as follows:
    • Cycle 1: 0.45 mg/m2 IV bolus once per day on days 36 & 37
    • Cycles 2 to 4: 0.45 mg/m2 IV bolus once per day on days 43 & 44

Supportive therapy

  • Leucovorin (Folinic acid) 15 mg/m2 PO every 6 hours x 12 hours once per day, starting 24 hours after the completion of each methotrexate infusion; additional leucovorin used for delayed methotrexate elimination
  • Sodium bicarbonate urine alkalinization prior to high-dose methotrexate
  • Normal saline 4.5 L/m2 on day 1 after methotrexate; NS 3 L/m2 on day 2, with adjustments made to keep urine pH greater than 7.4

8-week cycle for 4 cycles, with surgery done during cycle 2 before doxorubicin; surgery is done 9 to 18 weeks after the start of chemotherapy
