4112 Background: Gender predicted for the most effective schedule in a RT of ChronoFLO vs CONV against MCC: overall survival (OS) was significantly increased in men on chronoFLO vs FOLFOX, whereas the reverse was found in women (Giacchetti, JCO 2006). Methods: To assess the relevance of gender for patient (pt) outcome, meta-analysis was performed on individual pt data (IPD) from 3 RT in 845 MCC pts treated with chronoFLO vs CONV (346 F, 499 M at 36 centers in 1990–2002)(Lévi, JNCI 1994; Lancet 1997). Data bases were merged and updated at 9 y after inclusion of the 1st pt. Main prognostic factors were comparable in each RT according to gender and treatment arm (median age: 61y; PS=0, 46% pts; liver M, 85% pts; liver involvement >25%, 41% pts; lung M, 37% pts; CEA>10, 56% pts). Results: No significant difference was found according to delivery schedule or gender in the whole population for Response Rate (RR), Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and OS. However, men on chronoFLO had highest RR, longest PFS and OS. PFS and OS were highest in women on CONV ( Table ). The rate of complete macroscopic resections of liver metastases (R0+R1) was 12.5% in men on chronoFLO vs 7.8–8.5% in men on CONV or in women on either schedule. A complete histologic response of liver metastases was documented in 2.1% of the men on chronoFLO vs 0–1.1% in the other groups. The relative risk of an earlier death in men vs women was 0.76 [95% CL, 0.91 to 0.94] on chronoFLO and 1.24 [0.99 to 1.56] on CONV. Conclusions: This IPD meta-analysis of 3 RT in MCC with a minimum follow up of 5 years confirms that men benefit from chronoFLO as compared to CONV delivery, with regard to long term outcome and medico-surgical strategy. ChronoFLO should be preferred to conventional oxaliplatin-5-FU-LV schedules in men with MCC. Support: ARTBC Internationale, P. Brousse Hospital, Villejuif, France.
