Growth modulation index as metric of clinical benefit assessment among advanced soft tissue sarcoma patients receiving trabectedin as a salvage therapy [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Background: The growth modulation index (GMI) is the ratio of time to progression with the nth line (TTPn) of therapy to the TTPn−1 with the n-1th line. GMI \textgreater1.33 is considered as a sign of activity in phase II trials. Patients and Methods: This retrospective analysis evaluated the concordance between the GMI and the efficacy outcomes in 279 patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (ASTS) treated with trabectedin 1.5 mg/m² (24-h infusion every 3 weeks) in four phase II trials. Results: One hundred and forty-two (51%) patients received one prior line and 137 ≥2 lines. The median TTPn was 2.8 months (range 0.2–26.8), whereas the median TTPn−1 was 4.0 months (0.3–79.5). The median GMI was 0.6 (0.0–14.4). Overall, 177 patients (63%) had a GMI \textless1; 21 (8%) a GMI equal to 1–1.33 and 81 (29%) a GMI \textgreater1.33, which correlated with the median overall survival in those patients (9.1, 13.9 and 23.8 months, respectively, P = 0.0005). A high concordance rate between the GMI and response rate (P \textless 0.0001) and progression-free survival (PFS, P \textless 0.0001) was observed. Good performance status (PS) was the only factor associated with GMI \textgreater1.33 (PS = 0; P \textless 0.04). Conclusions: A high GMI was associated with favorable efficacy outcomes in patients treated with trabectedin. Further research is needed to assess GMI as an indicator in this setting.
