PURPOSE We performed a pilot phase II study to evaluate the potential for delivery of rapidly sequenced high-dose chemotherapy treatments rescued with autologous peripheral-blood progenitor cells (PBP) in patients with previously untreated, advanced ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS A single cycle of mobilization was used, primed with cyclophosphamide (CPA)/paclitaxel (Txl) and filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF]), followed by three cycles of high-dose carboplatin (CBDCA)/Txl and one cycle of high-dose melphalan (MEL), each rescued by PBP. We then analyzed the outcome for a total of 56 consecutive patients treated with high-dose chemotherapy as part of this program. RESULTS In the phase II pilot, 21 patients were enrolled. There were no treatment-related deaths through 98 high-dose treatments, although 34 treatments were complicated by hospitalization, primarily for neutropenic fever. Seventy-six percent of patients experienced grade 3 to 4 gastrointestinal toxicity and 62% experienced grade 2 to 3 neuropathy. Five of 15 (33%) patients who underwent second-look surgery attained a pathologic complete response. In the overall analysis, 56 patients were reviewed. Forty-four patients were assessable for response by second-look surgery or clinical progression. Fifteen of 44 patients achieved a pathologic complete response (34%). The pathologic complete response rate in optimal-disease patients was 12 of 22 (55%), while only three of 22 (13%) suboptimal stage III and IV patients achieved a pathologic complete response. CONCLUSION The Gynecologic Oncology Group has initiated a pilot phase II trial of this approach in patients with optimally debulked stage III ovarian cancer. There is no evidence to support the use of this or other aggressive regimens outside of a clinical trial.

216 Background: Perioperative treatments have significantly improved survival in patients with resectable gastric cancer, increasing 5-year overall survival from 23% with surgery alone to 45% with FLOT, Although FLOT has been recognized as the first choice for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, its efficacy needs to be improved. Sintilimab, a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds to programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1), has shown remarkable clinical efficacy in various cancers. We aimed to assess the activity and safety profile of the combination of FLOT and sintilimab for neoadjuvant treatment of gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma. Methods: In this ongoing, single-arm, phase II study, we recruited patients from Henan Cancer Hospital in China with histopathologically diagnosed resectable gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who had clinical T3/N+ or higher stage. Patients were given 4 cycles of FLOT (docetaxel 50 mg/m2, oxaliplatin 80 mg/m2, leucovorin 200 mg/m2, fluorouracil 2600 mg/m2, 24-h infusion on day 1, q2w) in combination with 3 cycles of sintilimab (200mg, iv, d1, q3w), followed by D2 surgery and 4 postoperative cycles of FLOT. The primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR). The secondary endpoints included major pathological remission (MPR) and R0 resection rate and adverse events . Results: A total of 20 patients were enrolled in the study between Aug 10 2019 and Sep 15 2020. One patient refused surgery, one person's disease progressed. Two patients have not yet completed neoadjuvant treatment . 16 pts who experienced D2 resection, 10 (62.5%) achieved major pathologic response (MPR), including 3 (18.8%) with a pathologic complete response (pCR) in primary tumor. The R0 resection rate was up to 93.8%, The grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) included lymphopenia(25%), anaemia (20%),fatigue (20%),leucopenia (15%), neutropenia (5%), diarrhea(5%), Alanine aminotransferase increased(5%),There was no surgical delays or unexpected surgical complications related to drug toxicity. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant combination of sintilimab and FOLT is a safe and efficacious treatment option for patients with gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, 18.8% pCR rate and 62.5%MPR rate is encouraging. Our clinical study is still enrolling, and the survival effects are under follow up. Clinical trial information: NCT04341857.

Chemotherapeutic Regimen

PURPOSE Topotecan is a topoisomerase I inhibitor with preclinical activity against various tumor types. We conducted a large multicenter phase II study with topotecan in ovarian cancer in patients who had failed to respond to one prior cisplatin-based chemotherapeutic regimen. PATIENTS AND METHODS Topotecan 1.5 mg/m2/d was administered intravenously by 30-minute infusion for 5 days repeated every 3 weeks. As the cisplatin-free interval relates to response in subsequent treatment, patients were stratified in subgroups, ie, cisplatin-refractory, cisplatin-resistant, and cisplatin-sensitive. RESULTS One-hundred eleven patients entered the study. Nineteen patients were considered to be ineligible; 92 patients were assessable for response. A total of 552 courses were given (median, four per patient; range, one to 17). The major toxicities were leukocytopenia and neutropenia, which were grade 3 to 4 in 54.2% and 69.1% of courses, respectively, but with only 4.3% of these being grade 4 neutropenia plus fever or infectious complications. Prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was given in 20.5% of courses to maintain dose-intensity. Other relatively frequent side effects were alopecia (82%), nausea (36.4%), and vomiting (17.5%). The overall response rate was 16.3%, with one complete response (CR) and 14 partial responses (PRs). In the cisplatin-refractory, cisplatin-resistant, and cisplatin-sensitive strata, the response rates were 5.9%, 17.8%, and 26.7%, respectively. The median duration of time of documented response was 21.7 weeks (range, 4.6 to 41.9). CONCLUSION Topotecan in a daily-times-five schedule is an effective regimen as second-line treatment in ovarian cancer. Further investigations of topotecan in ovarian cancer, including first-line use and combination with other active agents, are indicated.
