摘　　要：Survival is one of the most important endpoints in cancer therapy,and parametric survival analysis could comprehensively reveal the overall result of disease progression,drug efficacy,toxicity as well as their interactions.In this study we investigated the efficacy and toxicity of dexamethasone(DEX)combined with gemcitabine(GEM)in pancreatic cancer xenograft.Nude mice bearing SW1990 pancreatic cancer cells derived tumor were treated with DEX(4 mg/kg,i.g.)and GEM(15 mg/kg,i.v.)alone or in combination repeatedly(QD,Q3D,Q7D)until the death of animal or the end of study.Tumor volumes and net body weight(NBW)were assessed every other day.Taking NBW as a systemic safety indicator,an integrated pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic(PK/PD)model was developed to quantitatively describe the impact of tumor size and systemic safety on animal survival.The PK/PD models with time course data for tumor size and NBW were established,respectively,in a sequential manner;a parametric time-to-event(TTE)model was also developed based on the longitudinal PK/PD models to describe the survival results of the SW1990 tumor-bearing mice.These models were evaluated and externally validated.Only the mice with good tumor growth inhibition and relatively stable NBW had an improved survival result after DEX and GEM combination therapy,and the simulations based on the parametric TTE model showed that NBW played more important role in animals’survival compared with tumor size.The established model in this study demonstrates that tumor size was not always the most important reason for cancer-related death,and parametric survival analysis together with safety issues was also important in the evaluation of oncology therapies in preclinical studies.
