TPS3124^ Background: 15-20% of all patients (pts) diagnosed with colorectal cancer (crc) develop metastases (mets) surgical resection remains the only potentially curative treatment available. Current 5-year survival rate following R0 resection of liver mets lies between 28-39%, recurrence occurs in up to 70% of pts. To date, adjuvant chemotherapy has not significantly improved clinical outcomes. The primary objective of the ongoing LICC trial (L-BLP25 In Colorectal Cancer) is to determine whether L-BLP25, an active MUC1-specific cancer immunotherapy, extends recurrence-free survival (RFS) time over placebo in crc pts following R0/R1 resection of liver mets known to highly express MUC1 glycoprotein. Phase III data from L-BLP25 in NSCLC will be reported at this meeting. Methods: This is a multinational, phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a sample size of 159 pts from 20 centers in 3 countries. Pts must have stage IV cr adenocarcinoma limited to liver mets. Following curative-intent complete resection of the primary tumor and of all synchronous/metachronous mets, eligible pts are randomized 2:1 to receive either L-BLP25 or placebo. L-BLP25 arm receives a single dose of 300 mg/m2 cyclophosphamide (CPA) 3 d before 1st L-BLP25 dose, then primary treatment with sc L-BLP25 930 μg weekly for 8 weeks, followed by sc L-BLP25 930 μg maintenance doses at 6-week (year 1 and 2) and 12-week (year 3) intervals until recurrence. Control arm: CPA is replaced by saline solution and L-BLP25 by placebo. Primary endpoint (PE) is RFS time. Secondary endpoints: Overall survival (OS), safety, tolerance, RFS/OS in MUC-1 positive cancers. Exploratory immune response analyses are planned. Study start was in Q3 2011. 19 centers were initialized and 36 patients recruited, no SUSARs occurred. Study recruitment will end Q3 2013: follow-up until Q3 2017. PE assessment is in Q3 2016. Interim analyses are not planned.No major practical issues were identified during setup and early conduct of the study. Clinical trial information: 2011-000218-20.
