`
`Abstract— We have conducted a mullicenter randomized clinical trial comparing in
`advanced post-menopausal breast cancer patients 500 mg vs 1 g A 6/day. The
`hydrocortisone dose was 40 mg/day in both groups. One hundred and seventy
`patients have been randomized; 161 were evaluable for tolerability, 149 for
`effectiveness. Response rates were similar in both groups, 19 and 24% respectively
`for the 500 mg and 1 g groups. Na difference was observed according to tumor site.
`Duration of response was the same in both groups (14 months), as was mean time to
`response (about 3 months). Survival (studies in 125 patients) was similar in both
`groups (responders and non-responders). No response could be obtained with 1 g
`after relapse 0r failure with 500 mg (n = 17). Tolerability was good in 91% of the
`500 mg group patients and 78% of the 1 g group patients (P < 0.03). It was poor in 4
`and 15% respectively (P < 0.03). Side-effects were the same in both groups but less
`frequent and less severe in the 500 mg group; however,
`these patients more
`frequently had ‘moon face’.

`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`AMINOGLUTETHIMIDE (AG) has been widely used
`as a treatment for advanced breast cancer in post-
`menopausal women [1, 2]. Its use has also been
`proposed as an adjuvant treatment [3]. The AC
`dosage was previously 1 g/day with 40 mg
`hydrocortisone. In 1980 it was shown that, in vivo,
`lower concentrations of AG had the same activity
`as l g on estrone and estradiol plasma levels [4];
`these results were in agreement with those
`obtained in in vitro studies [5] which have shown
`aromatase to be ten times more sensitive to AG
`
`than desmolase; the preliminary results of in vivo
`hormonal studies have been largely confirmed
`
`Accepted 23 May 1985.

`[6, 7]. These studies suggested that objective
`clinical responses could be obtained with lower
`doses of AG.
`We
`conducted a multicenter
`
`randomized
`
`trial comparing the effectiveness and
`clinical
`tolerability of 500 mg AG vs 1 g AG plus 40 mg
`hydrocortisone. The last patient was taken into
`this trial in August 1983.
`
`MATERIALS AND METHODS
`
`~
`Patient selection '
`One hundred and seventy spontaneously or
`radiation-induced menopausal women with
`proven metastatic breast carcinoma and measur-
`able progressive disease were selected for study.
`Patients with central nervous system involvement
`or hepatic metastasis were excluded from the
`study. Chemotherapy and/or other additive
`hormone therapy had to be discontinued at least 1
`month prior to entry into this trial. Among these
`170 patients, one was found to be ineligible
`(pulmonary cancer), eight were not evaluable

`
`(neither for tolerability nor for effectiveness), 161
`were evaluable for
`tolerability and 149 were
`evaluable for effectiveness. The reasons for not
`
`treatment of too short a
`being evaluable were:
`duration, non-evaluable lesions, patients drop-
`ping out and treatment discontinuation because
`of toxicity. Most of these patients had been heavily
`pretreated: 68% of the 149 evaluable patients had
`already received at least one hormone therapy
`and/or chemotherapy.
`Patients were
`stratified according to the
`receptor status. All patients were either receptor-
`positive (R+) (estradiol and/or progesterone) or
`receptor-unknown (RP). Receptor-negative pat-
`ients were not eligible. Receptor assays were
`performed by the dextran-coated charcoal method.
`Positivity criteria were those accepted in each
`participating center.
`simultaneous
`No patient
`received
`therapy at an evaluable site.
`
`radio-
`
`Patient evaluation and response criteria
`Patients were evaluated after 15, 45 and 90 days,
`and then every 3 months. Response criteria were
`those of the UICC. Objective responses (whether
`complete or partial) and stable disease had to
`persist at
`least 3 months to be taken into
`consideration. Complete response (CR) means
`disappearance of all lesions. Partial response (PR)
`means regression of more than 50% of the product
`of two perpendicular diameters of all measurable
`lesions; stable disease (SD) was defined as a
`decrease of less than 50% or an increase of less than
`
`25% in all the lesions, and progressive disease (PD)
`as a progression of more than 25% in the lesions
`
`and/ or appearance of new lesions. Responses in
`bone metastases were considered only in the case
`of clear-cut radiological evidence of bone healing:
`regression of more than 50% in sclerosing
`metastases and evidence of calcification of more
`
`than 50% of the area of lytic lesions. Regression of
`bone pain, without evidence of bone healing, as
`defined, or with exaggerated calcification were
`not considered as a response, even in the case of
`regression of other metastatic sites.
`The duration of PR and SD was the interval
`
`the treatment and
`between the beginning of
`evidence of relapse. Duration of CR was the
`interval between the time that disappearance of
`the lesions was first observed and the first evidence
`
`of relapse.
`Subjective effectiveness (regression of pain,
`dyspnea) was classified as $0 in the case of
`worsening or no change in symptoms, 81 in the
`case of great improvement and S2 in the case of
`complete disappearance of all symptoms.
`The patient’s performance status (P5) was
`evaluated according to the WHO criteria (PS 0/1
`
`refers to patients in good general condition, able
`to work, PS 2 to patients unable to work but able
`to take care of themselves and PS 3/4 to patients
`confined to bed more than 50% of the daytime).
`
`Treatment protocol
`Patients were randomly allocated to treatment
`with either 500 mg or 1 g AG/day. All patients
`took 500 mg for the first 2 weeks (250 mg twice a
`day); from day 15 the patients of the 1 g group
`received 250 mg in the morning, 250 mg in the
`afternoon and 500 mg at bedtime. Hydrocortisone
`dosage was constant at 40 mg/day throughout the
`treatment, 10 mg at 8 a.m., 10 mg at 4 p.m. and
`20 mg at bedtime in both groups.
`
`Statistical analysis
`All survival curves were calculated by the
`method of actuarial survival analysis and the
`difference between pairs of curves was tested for
`statistical significance using the log rank test.

`
`The difference in the response rates between the
`two groups was not statistically significant. When
`stable disease was included, the response rate for
`bone metastases was better in the 500 mg group.
`
`Clinical response according to AG dosage and
`receptor status (Table 2)
`Response rates were not different in R+ and R?
`patients, irrespective of whether they received 500
`mg or 1 g. Similarly, response rates were not
`different
`in group I and group 11 patients,
`irrespective of whether they were R+ or R?
`
`Mean time to response according to AC dosage
`The mean time before a response was observed
`was 3 months for both groups (2.8 :l: 1.2 months in
`the 500 mg group and 3.4 i 1.4 months in the 1 g
`group). In all cases the reSponse was observed
`within 6 months of the start of the study.
`
`Response rate according to performance status
`(PS)
`
`The response rate was similar, whatever the
`performance status of the patients at entry into the
`trial. Responses rates were 25% (n = 55), 14% (n =
`49) and 22% (n = 18), respeCtively, for PS 0/1 , PS 2
`and PS 3/4.
`
`hormone therapy (25%) and in patients who had
`responded to a previous hormone therapy with at
`least a minor response (29%). Response rates
`according to the number of different previous
`hormone therapies appear in Table 4. When the
`500 mg and the lg group patients are taken
`together,
`the response rates are 18% after one
`hormone therapy (n = 38), 23% after two (n = 47)
`and 6% after three or more different hormone
`
`therapies (n = 16).
`
`Subjective response
`Disappearance or improvement of subjective
`symptoms was noted in 68% of patients in both
`groups.
`
`Response to lg after failure with 500 mg AG
`In 17 patients randomly allocated to the 500 mg
`group and who failed to respond, a trial with l g
`was initiated; no response was observed.
`
`Duration of response according to AC dosage
`Median duration of response was 14 months in
`both groups. Median duration of stabiliration
`was 16 months in the 500 mg group and 10
`months in the 1 g group.
`
`Response rate according to previous hormone
`therapy (Tables 3 and 4)
`_
`Most of the patients had previously received
`hormone therapy or simultaneous hormone and
`chemotherapy which had most frequently been
`ineffective. The response rate was higher in
`patients who had never
`received previoUs
`
`Survival according to type of response and AG
`dosage
`Survival was studied according to the type of
`response in 125 patients, whatever the AG dosage
`(Fig.1). Considering both groups together, no
`difference was noted between patients who
`responded and those who were
`stabilized.

`
`However, a highly significant difference was
`found between these two groups and the non-
`responders (P < 0.001).
`As no difference in survival was noted between
`
`responders and patients who were only stabilized,
`they were considered together to compare survival
`in the 500 mg and 1 g groups. No difference was
`seen between the two groups (Fig. 2).
`
`The side-effects are listed in Table 6. Although
`lethargy and skin rash were much less frequent in
`the 500 mg group, the difference did not reach
`statistical significance. Conversely, ‘moon face’
`was more frequent in the patients of 500 mg group
`(P < 0.02). Four percent of the patients in the
`500 mg group and 7% in the 1 g group had to have
`AG stopped because of toxicity.
`
`Tolerability
`Tolerability was evaluated by the patient as
`good, fair or poor (Table 5). Tolerability was poor
`in 4% of the patients in the 500 mg group and 15%
`in the lg group (P < 0.03); it was good in 91 and
`78% (P < 0.03) of the two groups respectively.
`Tolerability was thus better in the 500 mg group.
`
`DISCUSSION
`
`Our results show that 500 mg AG has the same
`therapeutic activity with a better tolerance than
`1 g/day. No difference was observed between the
`two groups in reSponse rate, duration of response,
`mean time to complete or partial response, or

`l g when 500 mg was ineffective or after relapse
`with 500 mg.
`In this study, response rates in both the 500 mg
`and the l g groups were low compared with the
`published results [1,2]. This is probably due to
`the fact that most of the patients had been heavily
`pretreated, especially with hormone therapy
`(most of the patients had received several types of
`hormone therapy and chemotherapy). Further-
`more, the first hormone therapy was not evaluable
`or was ineffective in 72% of
`the cases;
`the
`
`likelihood of response to AG was therefore very
`low in these patients. The response rates in
`women who had already responded to hormone
`therapy and then relapsed and the response rates
`of those without any previous hormonal treat-
`ment are in keeping with published reports [8, 9].
`Our
`results in bone metastases were very
`disappointing, since Smith et al. [10] and Lipton
`et al. [1 1] had published objective response rates
`in 35% of 31 patients and in 33% of 27 patients.
`These results were much better
`than those
`
`obtained with tamoxifen. Response criteria are
`very difficult
`to assess and ours were strictly
`defined. The poor results that we obtained could
`be due to the fact that half of our patients had
`sclerosing or lytic and sclerosing metastases, the
`regression of which was particularly difficult to
`study. However,
`this
`cannot be
`the only
`explanation since the response rate of lytic lesions
`(eventually associated with sclerosing metastases
`but separately evaluated) was poor, too. Another
`
`explanation could be that bone healing may only
`be observed after a long-term treatment
`[2].
`However, the response rate for bone metastases,
`including stable disease, was 74% in the 500 mg
`group and 53% in the l g group.
`The response rates were not dependent on
`patients’ performance status. This had already
`been reported by Gale [12]. As it is well tolerated,
`this drug may safely be given to patients in a poor
`general condition, in contrast to chemotherapy.
`To our knowledge, such results have not been
`reported for other hormone therapies.
`Tolerability was better in patients receiving
`500 mg. Drowsiness, skin rash and ataxia were
`more frequent in patients treated with 1 gAG, but
`the difference was not statistically significant.
`However, patients treated with 500 mg felt much
`better. It should be emphasized that in the patients
`of our 1 g group tolerability was better than that
`reported in previous studies.
`In Santen and
`Brodie’s experience [1], skin rash was observed in
`30% of the cases and drowsiness in 33%. The
`
`incidence of ‘moon face’ in the patients of the
`500 mg group in our study might be due to an
`overcompensation with hydrocortisone. It seems
`possible that with 500 mg AG/ day desmolase is
`moderately inhibited; 20-30 mg hydrocortisone
`would probably be enough in patients receiving
`500 mg AG/ day. The ‘moon face” regressed after
`reduction of the hydrocortisone dosage.
`To our knowledge, this study is the first which
`compares two dosages of AG in a randomized
`trial. Harris et al. [6] has shown that estrone and
`estradiol plasma levels were suppressed by 125 mg
`AG given twice a day and that a further increase in
`the dosage did not result in a greater suppression
`of these plasma levels. Vermeulen et al. [7] showed
`that 125 mg AG caused a slight but significant
`decrease in estrone and estradiol plasma levels; 1 g
`AG did not produce a greater decrease in estrone
`and estradiol
`levels than 250 mg AG (20-40%).
`According to Vermeulen et al. [7], treatment with
`150 mg, 250 mg and l g AG reduced aromatase
`activity to 33%, 20% and 5% of the basal values
`respectively. These hormonal
`studies could
`explain why no response was obtained with 1 g
`AG after failure with 500 mg; the lowering of the
`estrone and estradiol plasma levels was probably
`sufficient with 500 mg AG to allow a response.
`Cantwell et al. [13], using 250 mg AG and 40 mg
`hydrocortisone, obtained 6 objective responses in
`20 patients. An alternative to the combined
`treatment
`is
`a
`lower AG dosage without
`hydrocortisone. Stuart-Harris et al. [14] treated 65
`patients with low-dosage AG alone (62.5 and
`125 mg twice daily); these dosages were as effective
`in lowering plasma estrone and estradiol levels as
`the standard 1 g dose, with minimal adrenal

`
`inhibition. The response rate was 19%; sur-
`prisingly, side-effects were numerous in that
`study (lethargy 31%; skin rash 15%). Eight percent
`of
`these patients had to discontinue their
`treatment because of side-effects; Stuart-Harris et
`
`that hydrocortisone might

`diminish AG-induced side-effects.
`From the statistical point of view, it is not easy
`to show that two treatment arms give similar
`
`results; the number of patients to be included is so
`high that such trials are very difficult to conduct.
`However, these results together with our failure to
`obtain a response with 1 g after relapse with
`500 mg and together with the results of clinical
`non-comparative studies of low AG dosages [14]
`suggest that 500 mg is as effective — and better
`tolerated -— as l g.
