摘要
目的:评价胸腺肽α1(Tα1)在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)中的作用。方法:采用随机、对照、前瞻性临床研究,共入组初治Ⅲ/Ⅳ期NSCLC40例,Tα1组:化疗+Tα1,对照组:化疗;观察两组治疗前后免疫指标变化、疗效、毒副反应、生活质量及生存率。结果:Tα1组CD4在化疗后明显高于化疗前(P<0.05),对照组NK在化疗后明显低于化疗前(P<0.05),化疗后Tα1组中性粒细胞吞噬指数显著高于对照组(P<0.05);有效率Tα1组50%(10/20),对照组35%(7/20),但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);化疗后两组骨髓抑制无差异;Tα1组无1例发生感染或严重毒副反应,而对照组有1例严重肺部感染;Tα1组生活质量优于对照组;生存率两组有显著差异,MSTTα1组为22.1月,对照组12.0月,1年生存率Tα1组84.21%,对照组50.00%,3年生存率分别为27.72%和14.29%(P<0.05)。结论:加用Tα1的肺癌化疗可提高机体免疫力,改善生活质量,延长生存期。
Purpose:To evaluate the effects of thymosin α1 (Tα1) in chemotherapy of NSCLC. Methods:We have conducted a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial.40 non-treated cases of stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ NSCLC were randomized into Tα1 group ( chemotherapy combined with thymosin α1) and control group (chemotherapy alone). The number of T cell subgroups, the activity of NK cell and phagocytic index of neutrophilic granulocyte in peripheral blood were detected and quality of life and changes of cancer lesions were evaluated before and after treatment. Results:After treatment,the levels of CD4 in the Tα1 group was significantly higher than before treatment(P<0.05). After treatment,the natural killer(NK) activity in the control group was significantly lower than before treatment(P<0.05). After chemotherapy, phagocytic index of the Tα1 group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Overall response rate was 50% in the Tα1 group and 35% in the control group, but there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05). There was no significant difference of myelosuppression between the two groups. No infections or severe toxicity occurred in the Tα1 group. One severe lung infection was seen in the control group.There was better quality of life for the Tα1 group compared with the control group(P<0.05). Prognosis of the Tα1 group was better than that of the control group. MST was 22.1 months in the Tα1 group and 12.0 months in the control group.1-year survival for the Tα1 group and the control group was 84.21% and 50.00%, respectively. 3-year survival for the Tα1 group and the control group was 27.72% and 14.29%, respectively. Conclusions:The immunological function of NSCLC is significantly elevated by Tα1 treatment. This trial indicates that chemotherapy combined with thymosin α1 for the treatment of NSCLC can improve patients’ quality of life and prolong survival.
