PURPOSE: Although several potential radioprotectants have been explored, radiation esophagitis is still difficult to control. Further development of supportive therapies is required. Our purpose was to investigate the efficacy and safety of cystine and theanine for esophagitis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy (CRT).
METHODS: This study is a prospective observational study. The participants were recruited from unresectable locally advanced NSCLC who had scheduled to receive weekly paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel/carboplatin plus radiation therapy (60 Gy in 30 fractions) for 6 weeks. They took an oral amino acid supplement containing 700 mg cystine and 280 mg theanine once daily regardless of CRT timing from the start of CRT until completion. The primary endpoint was the incidence of any grade esophagitis. The secondary endpoints were quality of life (QoL) and adverse events (AEs).
RESULTS: A total of 26 patients were evaluated. All participants completed 60 Gy of RT in 30 fractions. The overall incidence of esophagitis was 73%; however, no ≥ grade 3 was reported. There were no AEs likely to be related to cystine and theanine. The mean EuroQoL 5-Dimension 5-Level health index score before and after chemoradiotherapy was 0.952 ± 0.0591 and 0.952 ± 0.0515 (P = 0.89), and the mean Visual Analogue Scale scores before and after treatment were 67.9 ± 15.4 and 79.4 ± 13.2 (P = 0.0047), respectively.
CONCLUSION: Our study showed no severe esophagitis, any AEs, nor QoL decrease in NSCLC patients receiving CRT. Cystine and theanine are potentially effective to reduce severe CRT-induced esophagitis.
