3534 Background: There is an urgent need for potential biomarkers for anti-VEGF therapies. The tumour suppressor gene PTEN is thought to have a potential role as a biomarker for anti-EGFR therapy in CRC, but there is also evidence that decreased levels of PTEN leads to increased expression of VEGF suggesting a potential relationship to outcome with anti-VEGF therapy*. The prognostic value of PTEN also remains controversial. Methods: Patients enrolled in the Phase III MAX trial of capecitabine (C) +/- bevacizumab (B) (+/- mitomycin C (M)) with available tissue were analysed for PTEN expression (loss v no loss) as assessed using a Taqman copy number assay to measure copy number variation at the PTEN locus. PTEN status was correlated with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes. The predictive value of PTEN status for bevacizumab efficacy was also examined. Results: Of the original 471 patients enrolled in the trial, tissue from 302 (64.1%) patients were analysed. Baseline characteristics of those with and without tissue were comparable. PTEN loss was observed in 38.7% of patients. There was no relationship between PTEN loss and KRAS or BRAF mutation. Patients with PTEN loss were more likely to have rectal primary (p=0.01) and less likely to have lung metastasis (p=0.03). By using the comparison of C v CB+CBM, PTEN status was not significantly predictive of the effectiveness of B for PFS or OS (Table). PTEN status is also not prognostic for PFS or OS in multivariate analyses adjusting for other baseline factors (Table). Conclusions: PTEN status did not significantly predict different benefit with anti-VEGF therapy. PTEN status was also not prognostic for survival in advanced colorectal cancer. [Table: see text]

Purpose Fluorouracil (FU)-leucovorin (LV), irinotecan, and oxaliplatin administered alone or in combination have proven effective in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). Combination protocols using FU-LV with either irinotecan or oxaliplatin are currently regarded as standard first-line therapies in this disease. However, the importance of the availability of all three active cytotoxic agents, FU-LV, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin, on overall survival (OS) has not yet been evaluated. Materials and Methods We analyzed data from seven recently published phase III trials in advanced CRC to correlate the percentage of patients receiving second-line therapy and the percentage of patients receiving all three agents with the reported median OS, using a weighted analysis. Results The reported median OS is significantly correlated with the percentage of patients who received all three drugs in the course of their disease (P = .0008) but not with the percentage of patients who received any second-line therapy (P = .19). In addition, the use of combination protocols as first-line therapy was associated with a significant improvement in median survival of 3.5 months (95% CI, 1.27 to 5.73 months; P = .0083). Conclusion Our results support the strategy of making these three active drugs available to all patients with advanced CRC who are candidates for such therapy to maximize OS. In addition, our findings suggest that, with the availability of effective salvage options, OS should no longer be regarded as the most appropriate end point by which to assess the efficacy of a palliative first-line treatment in CRC.

PURPOSE To investigate if double modulation of fluorouracil (5-FU) with leucovorin (folinic acid [FA]) and interferon alfa-2b (IFN 2b) improves responses and survival in comparison to single modulation of 5-FU with FA. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred six patients with histologically confirmed advanced colorectal cancer, measurable disease, and without previous chemotherapy were prospectively randomized into two groups. Patients in group A received 5-FU 450 mg/m2 as an intravenous bolus in the midinfusion of FA weekly. FA was given at a dose of 200 mg/m2 in 500 mL 0.9% normal saline solution in 2-hour infusion. Patients in group B received exactly the same regimen plus IFN 2b 5 million units subcutaneously three times weekly. RESULTS All patients were well balanced in both groups regarding age, sex, performance status, number, and site of metastasis. One hundred two patients were assessable. All patients have died. There was no difference in response between the two groups (7.8% v 9.8%). Median survival was 10.1 months in group A, and 7.2 months in group B (P = .00189). Median time to progression was 8.4 and 5.2 months, respectively (P = .00196). Overall, better performance status and older age had a positive impact on survival. Toxicity was the most important and catastrophic aspect of this study. Patients who received IFN 2b had significantly worse anemia, neutropenia, diarrhea, anorexia, weight loss, flu-like syndrome, and psychological reactions. CONCLUSION Based on this final analysis, the addition of IFN 2b to the combination of 5-FU and FA enhances toxicity and contributes to decreased survival.
