625 Background: The synchronous liver metastases (SLM) from colorectal cancer (CRC) have a poor prognosis. Therefore, we conducted a phase II study of neoadjuvant mFOLFOX6 + bevacizumab for SLM to explore the appropriate initial treatment (BeFORE study). Here, assess the impact of histological tumor response (HR) on the relapse-free survival (RFS) and the overall survival (OS). Methods: The main inclusion criteria of BeFORE study were SLM within 10 nodules and with measurable disease. The primary endpoint was the response rate (RR). The secondary endpoints included R0-liver resection rate, HR, RFS and OS. Patients (pts) were enrolled after R0-resection of the primary CRC and received 8 courses of mFOLFOX6 + BV (the first and last courses were mFOLFOX6 alone). After this neoadjuvant chemotherapy, pts underwent resection of liver metastases within 4-8 weeks. HR was re-assessed on the basis of the tumor regression grade (TRG) which evaluates the extent of fibrosis of tumor cells, and the modified TRG which evaluates the extent of fibrosis and therapeutic-associated necrosis, using resected tumor samples. Results: Between June 2008 and November 2010, 47 pts were enrolled and 44 pts were treated per protocol. The median number of metastases was 2 nodules, and the maximum diameter of tumors was 12.9 cm. The overall RR was 72.7%. Forty pts underwent liver resection and 39 pts had the R0-liver resection. Five pts (12.5%) of resected 40 pts achieved TRG 1-2 (major HR), 5 pts (12.5%) had TRG 3 (partial HR) and 30 pts (75.0%) had TRG 4-5 (no HR). 8 pts (20.0%) achieved mTRG 1-2, 8 pts (20.0%) had mTRG 3, and 24 pts (60.0%) had mTRG 4-5. With a median follow-up of 35 months, the 2-year RFS rate was 27.3% (the median RFS was 10.5 months), and the 2-year OS rate was 88.4%. Here, we perform sub-group analyses of RFS and OS by TRG, mTRG, respectively. Conclusions: The impact of HR (TRG, mTRG) on survival could help us with considering about the appropriateness of neo-adjuvant mFOLFOX6 + BV as the initial treatment for SLM.
