588 Background: Bevacizumab (BV) is a recombinant, humanized monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor. Used in combination with chemotherapy, BV has been shown to improve survival in both first- and second-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, it was reported that addition of BV to FOLFOX conferred only little survival benefit (Saltz et al. JCO2008). The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of addition of BV to FOLFOX in first-line treatment for patients with mCRC. Methods: Bevacizumab was approved for mCRC in July 2007 in Japan. This study was conducted at a single institution and comprised 217 consecutive patients receiving first-line treatment for mCRC between 2005 and 2009. The primary objective was to compare survival benefit in patients treated with FOLFOX4 (FF) between 2005 and 2007 with that in patients receiving FOLFOX4+BV 5 mg/kg (FF+BV) between 2007 and 2009. Results: Total number of patients in the FF and FF+BV groups was 132 and 85, respectively. Characteristics of patients were as follows (FF vs. FF+B): median age, 62 yrs (range 28-76 yrs) vs. 60 yrs (range16-74 yrs); ECOG PS0, 98.8% vs. 81.8%; and median follow-up time, 20.8 months vs. 24.4 months. Median progression-free survival (PFS) in the FF and FF+BV groups was 10 months (95% CI, 8.7-11.3) and 17 months (95% CI, 10.2-14.1), while median overall survival (OS) was 21 months (95% CI, 17.9-24.1) and not reached, respectively. Response rate was 46% (95% CI, 37- 54) in FF, and 62% (95% CI, 51-73) in FF+BV. Addition of BV to FOLFOX4 significantly improved PFS (p=0.002) and OS (p<0.001). Conclusions: The additive effect of BV for first-line FOLFOX was reconfirmed. These data indicate potential survival benefits from the addition of BV to FOLFOX in first-line treatment of mCRC. In addition, PFS may be a sensitive indicator of outcome prior to post-treatment. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

610 Background: In our previous report, addition of bevacizumab (BV) to the FOLFOX4 regimen appeared to significantly improve response rate, progression-free survival and overall survival in first-line treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) (Suenaga M, et al. ASCO-GI 2011 [abstr 588]). Update results met median overall survival, and statistical analysis of survival was performed. Methods: An observational cohort study was carried out on all eligible patients scheduled to receive FOLFOX4 (n = 128) or FOLFOX4+BV (n = 85) between 2005 and 2007, 2007 and 2009, with a median follow-up time of 20.4 months vs. 30.2 months, respectively. Predefined efficacy endpoints were treatment characteristics, response rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival in the periods of time observed. Results: Median progression-free survival was 9.9 months (95% CI, 8.4-11.4) in the FOLFOX4- and 17 months (95% CI, 11.8-22.3) in the FOLFOX4+BV-treated patients (p=0.002). Median overall survival times were 20.5 months (95% CI, 16.9-24) and 38.8 months (95% CI, 32.9-44.8) in the two groups, respectively (p<0.001). In the ECOG PS 0 population, progression-free survival in the FOLFOX4 and FOLFOX4+BV groups was 11 months and 17 months with a hazard ratio of 0.63 (95% CI, 0.44-0.89) in favour of FOLFOX4+BV, similarly in OS with a hazard ratio of 0.53 (95% CI, 0.36-0.77). Subgroup population received 5-FU plus leucovorin (FL) as maintenance during oxaliplatin discontinuation due to adverse events had longer PFS or OS in both groups, though no significance. PFS were 14.7 and 21.6 months, and OS were 29 and 45.9 months, respectively. Secondary resection was performed more in FOLFOX4+BV (11.8%) than FOLFOX4 (3.9%) patients. Conclusions: These data indicate potential survival benefits from the addition of BV to the FOLFOX4 regimen as first-line treatment for mCRC. Maintenance using FL after discontinuation of oxaliplatin due to adverse events appeared to be an essential factor for better survival.

TPS453 Background: FOLFIRINOX remains the standard of care for the first line treatment of patients with locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, however the prognosis remains poor, thus novel treatment options are indicated. Eryaspase, asparaginase (ASNase) encapsulated in red blood cells (RBCs) is an investigational product under development. Following infusion, asparagine and glutamine are actively transported into RBCs where they are hydrolyzed by the encapsulated ASNase. A randomized phase IIb study in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer whose disease progressed following first-line treatment (NCT02195180) was previously conducted. Eryaspase in combination with gemcitabine monotherapy or FOLFOX combination therapy improved overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS). The safety profile of eryaspase was acceptable. A second line pivotal randomized phase III trial (Trybeca-1) is currently enrolling (NCT03665441). We design this phase I study to determine the safety of mFOLFIRINOX combined with Eryaspase in the first line of treatment. Methods: Patients with locally or metastatic biopsy proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma will be treated with the combination of mFOLFIRINOX plus Eryaspase. This will be a standard 3+3 design with 4 possible doing levels. mFOLFIRINOX dosing will include 5-Fluorouracil 2400 mg/m2 over 46 hours, Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, Irinotecan 150 mg/m2 plus Eryaspase 75 Units/kg at dose level 0. Eryaspase will be dose escalated up to 100 Units/kg. The study will enroll at three academic centers. Key eligibility criteria include performance status 0 or 1; locally advanced or metastatic tumor disease; adequate organ function. The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and safety of this novel combination. Key secondary objectives include objective response rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and biomarker research. A data safety monitoring committee will review data every 3 months. Clinical trial information: 04292743.

Abstract Introduction: Follicular lymphoma grade 3 is recognized as a distinct entity in the World Health Organization classification of lymphoma. It is further classified into grade 3a and 3b depending on percentage of centroblasts. There is no consensus about its clinical course because some studies indicate an indolent behavior but others describe a more aggressive. Large systematic studies are missing in particular for 3b follicular lymphoma which is often considered as a separate entity. Methods: We performed a retrospective multicentric study on a group of 3b FL patients diagnosed in nine Italian FIL centers between November 2002 and January 2015. Planned inclusion criteria at enrollment were first line Rituximab containing regimen treatment and diagnostic samples availability for central pathologic review. Aim of the study was to determine clinical response, OS and PFS. Tumor response was based on the International Working Group response criteria. Survival analysis was performed with Kaplan-Meier method. Results: We enrolled a total of 51 patients, 50 evaluable for response at the time of analysis; median age was 62 yrs (range 48-71), 29 (56%) in stage III-IV, 10 (20%) with B symptoms. First line treatment was R-CHOP in the majority of patients 47 (92%), R-Bendamustine and R-CVP in 2 (4%) respectively. Seven patients (14%) received Rituximab maintenance after first line, six (12%) underwent high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) as consolidation therapy and 5 (10%) were treated with local radiotherapy on residual disease. We observed CR in 48 patients (96%), PR in 1 (2%), PD in 1(2%). Ten patients relapsed or progressed after first line treatment and four of them died, three for progressive disease and one due to senile dementia while in CR. No relapses were recorded in pts receiving Rituximab maintenance but the advantage was not statistically significant and the number of patients receiving maintenance was low. With a median follow up of 63 months from diagnosis (IQR 33-82), 3-yrs PFS and OS rates were 82% and 93% (fig 1 and 2) with the evidence of a plateau in both survival curves after 5 years observation. Central pathologic review is ongoing. Conclusion: With the limit of a retrospective analysis our study confirms the clinical benefit of a combined modality treatment with Rituximab plus antracycline-containing chemotherapy in patients with 3b FL. Our results compare favorably with those previously reported in studies without Rituximab, that failed to show a plateau with 3-yrs PFS ranging between 22% and 52%. This results need to be confirmed with a longer follow up and after the planned pathologic review. Figure 1. Progression-Free Survival. Median Follow-up 62 months (IQR 33-82). Figure 1.
