The influence of toxicity constraints in models of chemotherapeutic protocol escalation

Abstract: The prospect of exploiting mathematical and computational models to gain insight into the influence of scheduling on cancer chemotherapeutic effectiveness is increasingly being considered. However, the question of whether such models are robust to the inclusion of additional tumour biology is relatively unexplored. In this paper, we consider a common strategy for improving protocol scheduling that has foundations in mathematical modelling, namely the concept of dose densification, whereby rest phases between d… Show more

“…Indeed, it is becoming understood that toxicity can often be a reliable predictor of anticancer drug benefit (81, 82), consistent with a role for normal cell interaction in tumor viability and progression. Other drug classes that may not affect tumor response or survival in the metastatic setting – e.g., protease inhibitors, or antagonists of G-protein-coupled receptors (83) – could still provide first-in-class targets by which to block metastasis in the adjuvant setting, thus improving survival.…”

“…Similarly, the judicious adjuvant use of cytotoxic chemotherapy to induce stromal toxicity and thus trigger micrometastatic apoptosis due to paracrine loop disruption – for example, in the relatively unexplored context of high-grade prostate cancer – remains as rationally justified as more costly molecularly targeted initiatives. Indeed, it is becoming understood that toxicity can often be a reliable predictor of anticancer drug benefit ( 81 , 82 ), consistent with a role for normal cell interaction in tumor viability and progression. Other drug classes that may not affect tumor response or survival in the metastatic setting – e.g., protease inhibitors, or antagonists of G-protein-coupled receptors ( 83 ) – could still provide first-in-class targets by which to block metastasis in the adjuvant setting, thus improving survival.…”

“…A shortcoming of the model (4.1) is that the interaction terms are specific. D’onofrio (2010) generalized the model (4.1) to allow for more flexible functions representing the interactions. In Appendix A we investigate models with a more general immune response.…”

“…The underlying dynamics of resistance development has previously been studied using cell populations consisting of treatment sensitive and resistant types, using either genotypic or phenotypic classifications [18]. Additionally, others have justified their choices of detailed cellular heterogeneities using: (i) stages in evolutionary structures [19,20], (ii) phases of cell cycle [21,22,23,24], or (iii) spatial distribution of irregular therapy effect [25,26]. Among these, researchers (including [18,22,23,27,28]) have studied the effect of a pair of collaterally sensitive drugs as we propose here, using the Goldie-Coldman model or its variations [19,28,29,30].…”
