抄録: | I carried out a randomized study of 100 consecutive patients with unresecta-
ble primary lung cancer to ascertain whether clarithromycin (CAM), a 14-membered ring
macrolide, can improve the outcome of the patients. A total of 95 complete cases had
received prior chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy during admission. They were randomly
allocated into two study groups on the first visit to the out-patient clinic after discharge :
49 patients recieved CAM (400 mg/day orally), and 46 patients did not recieve CAM. There
was no significant difference in median survival time for small cell lung cancer between the
CAM group and the non-CAM group. In contrast, CAM treatment significantly elongated
the median survival time for non-small cell lung cancer patients. The underlying mecha-
nism explaining such effects of CAM may be postulated ; a long-term treatment of CAM is
able to decrease the production of cachexia-inducing cytokin interleukin 6, and increase the
production of interleukin 12 and INF-γ in association with increasing NK-cell activity. In
mice bearing murine lung cancer, administration of CAM initiated 7 days after the comple-
tion of anticancer chemotherapy inhibited the tumor growth to a greater extent, and
significantly increased NK-cell activity, compared with the combined use of CAM and
anticancer chemotherapy. CAM was especially effective for patients at the early clinical
stages and having responded well to prior anticancer therapy, which was confirmed by the
study of CAM effect on murine lung cancer. |
