3597 Background: There has been a considerable increase in the number of patients (pts) with mCRC pretreated with both irinotecan and oxaliplatin. Little is known about third-line therapy in this group of pts. We conducted a phase II trial of oral S-1 in pts with advanced colorectal cancer who failed on both irinotecan and oxaliplatin. Methods: This phase II study was designed to evaluate the activity and toxicity of S-1 monotherapy in 31 advanced colorectal cancer pts (P0 = 3%, P1 = 15%; α = 0.05, power = 80%, drop-out rate 10 %). S-1 was administered orally twice daily, 70 mg/m2/day for 14 days followed by 1-week rest. Eligibility criteria included ECOG 0–2; measurable lesion; adequate organ functions; signed informed consent. Results: As of 1st September 2005, 21 pts were enrolled. Median age of all pts 55 years. There were 10 male and 11 females. Thirteen of 21 patients were treated with oxaliplatin-containing regimens as a first-line therapy for metastatic diseases. The median number of treatments was 3 courses (range, 1–10). The relative dose intensity was 1.0 (0.83 - 1.0) with a median dose of120 mg (100 -140 mg). Nineteen out of 21 patients were evaluable. The confirmed response rate was 21.1% (4/19, 1 CR, 3 PR). The median PFS was 11 weeks, and median OS was not reached. The most frequent adverse reaction was skin pigmentation (47.6%). Grade 3 toxicities was skin pigmentation in 1 patients (4.8%), neutropenia in 1 (4.8%), and anemia in 1 (4.8%), respectively. Conclusion: This results shows that S-1 produces a promising response rate with an acceptable safety profile in refractory, mCRC. S-1 has the potential to become a valuable option as a third-line salvage regimen in irinotecan and oxaliplatin pretreated mCRC pts. Clinical trial of combination therapy with S-1 will be warranted.

3589 Background: We planned to conduct a phase II clinical study of combination therapy with irinotecan and S-1, a new oral anticancer drug of the fluorinated pyrimidine type. We reported the interium reports of this study in colorectal cancer patients at GI cancer Symposium 2006. Methods: The antitumor effect was the primary endpoint, while the safety, progression-free survival time, and median survival time were the secondary endpoints. The subjects were untreated patients with inoperable advanced colorectal cancer aged 20–75 years. Irinotecan was administered at a dose of 100 mg/m2 (on days 1 and 15) as an intravenous infusion over 90 minutes, and oral S-1 (40 mg/m2) was administered after breakfast and dinner and then withdrawn for 2 weeks. Results: Forty patients were enrolled in the present study. There were 23 men and 17 women. The median age was 62 years (range: 34 to 74 years). Two patient showed grade 4 neutropenia, but the next course could be given safely after dose reduction. Three patients had grade 3 diarrhea, but therapy could be continued with addition of an antidiarrheal drug. No other serious adverse reactions occurred (either hematological or non-hematological), and all patients could receive therapy safely on an outpatient basis. Interim analysis suggested excellent results, with a response rate of 50%. To date, 231 cycles (median 8, range 1–19) have been administered. Median relative dose intensity was 97% for S-1 and 87% for irinotecan. 36 pts are evaluable for efficacy: RR was 47.2% (95% CI, 30.9–63.5%) and Disease Control Rate (PR + SD) was seen in 94.4% of pts. PFS of this regimen is 320 days. MST is not reached. Conclusions: IRIS therapy achieved a high response rate and could be given safely. These findings suggest that the therapy has potential as first-line treatment for inoperable advanced recurrent colorectal cancer. It seems that IRIS is a good treatment equal to FOLFIRI. In addition, this regimen could qualify as a candidate for future combination therapy with a molecular-targeting drug. The latest data will be reported at the meeting.

e15066 Introduction: FOLFOX regimen represents a standard first-line therapy for ACRC pts. Oral capecitabine (XEL) has been shown to be a convenient and well tolerated alternative to intravenous 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the treatment of ACRC. Experimental data demonstrated the synergism of XEL with Oxaliplatin (OHP), but the questions about the most appropriate dosage and schedule of capecitabine have not yet been completely resolved. Taking into account these data the GOIM started a phase II study to evaluate the activity and the toxicity of biweekly administration of XEL plus OHP (XELOX-2) in ACRC pts. Methods: Previously untreated pts with histological diagnosis of metastatic colorectal cancer, measurable disease, ECOG PS<2, and age 18–75 yrs entered into this trial. The schedule of treatment was as follows: OHP at 100 mg/mq i.v. on days 1 and XEL at 2,000 mg/mq p.o. in two daily administrations from the 1 to the 7 day, every 2 weeks. RECIST and NCI criteria were employed to determine the activity and the toxicity of this regimen. Results: Fifty-one pts have been enrolled and up to now forty-seven are evaluable for activity and toxicity. The main characteristics of the entered pts were: sex (M/F) 38/13, median age 66,5 yrs (range 54–75 yrs), 28 (55%) single and 23 (45%) multiple site of disease. The main site of disease were liver in 38 pts (75%), lymph-nodes in 17 (33%), lung in 9 (18%). Two CR (4%) and 22 PR (47%), 13 SD (28%) and 10 PD (21%) were observed, with an overall response rate of 51% and a disease control rate (CR+PR+SD) of 79%. Median TTP was 5+ months (range 2–19). A total of 413 cycles were administered. In the evaluable pts the main toxicity rate (G1- 2 vs G3–4) were as follows: thrombocytopenia 51/6, anemia 42/0, neutropenia 15/0, nausea/vomiting 30/2, diarrhea 19/2, neurotoxicity 57/0 and asthenia 30/2. Only one pts presented G4 toxicity (diarrhea). Conclusions: These preliminary data show that the combination of XEL and OHP with a biweekly administration is active and well tolerated in ACRC pts.

602 Background: The Kyushu Study group of Clinical Cancer conducted a phase II study that evaluated the FIREFOX regimen. (KSCC0701, Akagi et al, J Clin Oncol 28:15s, 2010). This study demonstrated the efficacy and mild neurotoxicity of this regimen. The present study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the FIREFOX plus bevacizumab (bev). Methods: Eligibility criteria included histologically confirmed advanced colorectal cancer, ECOG PS 0-2 and adequate bone marrow, renal and hepatic function. Patients (pts) received an alternating regimen of 4 cycles of mFOLFOX-6 plus bev (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, leucovorin 200 mg/m2, bev 5 mg/kg d1 followed by 400 mg/m2 bolus 5-FU and a 46-hr 2,400 mg/m2 5-FU infusion every 2 weeks) followed by 4 cycles of FOLFIRI plus bev (oxaliplatin replaced with irinotecan 150 mg/m2 d1). This schedule was repeated until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression occurred. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival. (UMIN000001312) Results: Of the 52 pts enrolled from May 2008 to July 2009. Two of the patients did not fulfill the eligibility criteria. M/F, 30/20; median age, 59.5 years (range 37 - 75); ECOG PS 0/1/2, 46/4/0. The median number of administration cycles was 14 (range, 2 - 44). Response rate (RECIST criteria) for CR, PR, SD, PD and NE were 2 (4%), 28 (56%), 14 (28%), 4 (8%) and 2 (4%), respectively. An overall response rate was 60% (95% CI: 45 - 74%). Median progression-free survival was14.2 M (95% CI: 10.6 M-16.3 M) and median overall survival was 27.5 M (95% CI; 22.4 M – not determined). The 2-year survival rate was 56.8%. Of the 52 pts evaluated for toxicity. The most common grade 3-4 adverse events were leukopenia (7.7%), neutropenia (32.7%), anemia (1.9%), fatigue (9.6%), anorexia (13.5%), stomatitis (3.8%), neurotoxicity (3.8%), hypertension (1.9%), diarrhea (7.7%), febrile neutropenia (3.8%), nausea (9.6%), vomiting (5.8%), hypersensitivity (3.8%), and thromboembolism (1.9%). Conclusions: The results of this phase II study show that the FIREFOX plus bev regimen is effective and well tolerated in the first-line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. The low rate of neurotoxicity is also promising.
