End Point

Purpose Although often investigated in locally advanced esophageal cancer (EC), the impact of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) in early stages is unknown. The aim of this multicenter randomized phase III trial was to assess whether NCRT improves outcomes for patients with stage I or II EC. Methods The primary end point was overall survival. Secondary end points were disease-free survival, postoperative morbidity, in-hospital mortality, R0 resection rate, and prognostic factor identification. From June 2000 to June 2009, 195 patients in 30 centers were randomly assigned to surgery alone (group S; n = 97) or NCRT followed by surgery (group CRT; n = 98). CRT protocol was 45 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks with two courses of concomitant chemotherapy composed of fluorouracil 800 mg/m2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m2. We report the long-term results of the final analysis, after a median follow-up of 93.6 months. Results Pretreatment disease was stage I in 19.0%, IIA in 53.3%, and IIB in 27.7% of patients. For group CRT compared with group S, R0 resection rate was 93.8% versus 92.1% (P = .749), with 3-year overall survival rate of 47.5% versus 53.0% (hazard ratio [HR], 0.99; 95% CI, 0.69 to 1.40; P = .94) and postoperative mortality rate of 11.1% versus 3.4% (P = .049), respectively. Because interim analysis of the primary end point revealed an improbability of demonstrating the superiority of either treatment arm (HR, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.75 to 1.59; P = .66), the trial was stopped for anticipated futility. Conclusion Compared with surgery alone, NCRT with cisplatin plus fluorouracil does not improve R0 resection rate or survival but enhances postoperative mortality in patients with stage I or II EC.

Advanced Gist

10005 Background: IM the first-line targeted therapy for advanced GIST, must not be interrupted after one year (yr) in responding patients (pts) and has to be given continuously until disease progression (PD) or intolerance (Blay, Le Cesne et al, ASCO 2004 and 2005). The impact on progression free survival (PFS) of IM discontinuation in long lasting responding pts is unknown. Methods: This prospective national multicenter BFR14 study was initiated in June 2002. After 3 yrs of IM 400mg/day, pts free from progression were randomly offered to continue (C arm) or interrupt (I arm) IM, with the exception of pts initially randomized in the I arm after 1 yr of IM (32 pts). Pts allocated to the I arm could restart IM (same dose) in case of PD. Primary endpoint was PFS. Pts declining randomization proceed with IM. Results: As of december 2006, 286 pts were included in this trial and up to date, 35 non progressive pts at 3 yrs were randomized, 19 and 16 in the I anc C arm respectively. Pt characteristics were well balanced between the two arms. Nine progressions were reported after a median follow-up of 5.3 months (range 0–14) in this cohort of patients. IM reintroduction in the I arm after a re-progression allowed again a tumor control (OR or SD) in all evaluable pts so far. Conclusions: An increase in the rate of PD was observed in patients randomized after 3 years of IM. The final analysis will be performed after the randomization of 50 pts. Updated results including mutational analysis will be presented at the meeting. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Adequate Organ Function

3 Background: Bevacizumab (BEV) is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits tumor angiogenesis by targeting VEGF. In relapsed RCC, BEV improved time to progression compared with placebo (2.5 vs. 4.8 months). A phase III trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BEV in combination with interferon (IFN)-a2a as first-line treatment in metastatic (m) RCC. The final analysis of progression-free survival (PFS) and interim analysis of overall survival (OS) are presented. Methods: Nephrectomized patients with clear cell mRCC, KPS of =70%, no CNS metastases and adequate organ function received IFN- a2a (x3/week at a recommended dose of 9 MIU for up to 1 year) plus BEV (10mg/kg q2w) or placebo until disease progression. Tumor assessments were performed every 8 weeks until week 32 and 12 weekly thereafter. Patients were stratified according to country and Motzer score. Results: Between June 2004 and October 2006, 649 patients were randomized (641 treated) at 101 centers in 18 countries. The treatment arms were well balanced for prognostic factors. At the data cutoff, 505 progression events had occurred, 111 patients remained on treatment, 287 had discontinued (discontinuations due to AEs were 12% with IFN vs. 28% with IFN-a2a/BEV), and 251 died. BEV-related side effects were generally mild and consistent with previous observations. The addition of BEV to IFN-a2a significantly increased PFS (10.2 vs. 5.4 mo) (HR=0.63; p<0.0001) and objective tumor response rate (30.6% vs. 12.4%; p<0.0001). A trend toward improved OS was observed with the addition of BEV to IFN-a2a (p=0.0670). Conclusions: BEV improves PFS when combined with IFN-a2a in mRCC. No unexpected safety events were observed.
