In Transit

Purpose In-transit disease afflicts approximately 10% of patients with extremity melanoma; no single treatment approach has been uniformly accepted as the most effective. We report long-term outcomes in patients with in-transit extremity melanoma who underwent isolated limb perfusion (ILP) in an era of increasingly accurate staging, uniform operative and treatment conditions, and regular long-term follow-up. Patients and Methods Between May 1992 and February 2005, 91 patients (median age, 57 years; 50 women, 41 men) underwent a 90-minute hyperthermic ILP (melphalan, 10 to 13 mg/L limb volume, tumor necrosis factor [TNF; n = 44], or interferon [n = 38]) using uniform operative technique and intraoperative leak monitoring. Patients were prospectively followed for response, in-field progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Parameters associated with in-field PFS and OS were analyzed by standard statistical methods. Results There was one operative death (1.1%). There were 62 complete responses (69%) and 23 partial responses (26%) in 90 assessable patients. At a median potential follow-up of 11 years, median in-field PFS was 12.4 months and median OS was 47.4 months; 5 and 10-year actuarial OS probabilities were 43% and 34%, respectively. Female sex and low tumor burden (≤ 20 lesions) were associated with prolonged in-field PFS (male:female hazard ratio [HR], 2.07; 95% CI, 1.27 to 3.38; 21+ v ≤ 20 tumors HR, 2.29; 95% CI, 1.21 to 4.34; P < .011 for both). Female sex was associated with improved OS (P = .027; male:female HR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.07 to 3.09). Conclusion In appropriately selected patients, ILP has clinical benefit. The use of TNF was not associated with improved in-field PFS, while female sex was associated with better survival.

Abstract BACKGROUND Between 1995 and 2002 the EORTC Brain Tumor Group conducted a prospective phase III study on adjuvant procarbazine, CCNU and vincristine (PCV) chemotherapy in anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AOD). A mature follow-up presented in 2012 showed survival benefit of the addition of PCV, in particular in 1p/19q co-deleted tumors and tumors with MGMT promoter methylation. We now present very long term follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were eligible if locally diagnosed with a newly diagnosed AOD. They were randomized between radiotherapy (RT, 33 x 1.8 Gy) and the same RT followed by 6 cycles PCV (RT/PCV). Primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS). 1p/19q status (FISH) was determined in 300 patient. Kaplan- Meier technique and Cox modeling were used for long term survival analysis. Primary analyses were adjusted for known prognostic factors. For other analyses no adjustment was performed. RESULTS With 368 patients included, a median follow-up of 18.4 years and 307 (83%) survival events, median and 20-year survival after RT/PCV versus RT alone were 42.3 mo and 16.8% vs 30.6 months and 10.1% (HR 0.78; 95% CI (0.63, 0.98), adjusted p=0.06). Eighty patients were 1p/19q codel of which 26 (33%) were still alive, in this subgroup median and 20-year survival after RT/PCV versus RT alone were 14 years and 37.1% versus 9.3 years and 13.6% (HR 0.60, 95% CI (0.35, 1.03), unadjusted p=0.06). Twenty year PFS in 1p/19q codel was 31.3% in RT/PCV treated patients and 10.8% in RT only treated patients (HR 0.49, 95% CI (0.29, 0.83), unadjusted p=0.007). In the 1p/19q codel subgroup age, WHO PS and necrosis at pathology were identified to be of independent prognostic value for OS. CONCLUSION This long term analysis confirms the earlier conclusions and provides data on long term survival in this patient group. In 1p/19q codel patients treated with RT/PCV, the 20-year PFS and OS rates are 31% and 37% respectively.

Abstract Introduction: The effectiveness of thalidomide based regimens (TBR) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma is well established. However, there are still limited data regarding the long term follow up after such regimens and the outcome of patients when they progress and they receive further treatment. In order to answer these questions we evaluated a series of 114 patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who were treated with TBR. None of these patients had previously received thalidomide, bortezomib or lenalidomide. Patients and Methods: All patients were treated with thalidomide and dexamethasone with or without other oral agents. More specifically 41 patients had received continuous thalidomide and pulse dexamethasone, 25 patients clarithromycin, continuous thalidomide and pulse dexamethasone, 43 patients intermittent thalidomide, pulse dexamethasone and cyclophosphamide and 5 patients continuous thalidomide, pulse dexamethasone and cyclophosphamide. Type of treatment at the time of progression after TBR, response to this treatment and progression free survival were recorded for each patient. Moreover, patients who received novel agents after progression to TBR, were divided into 2 subgroups, according to their resistance to thalidomide. In group A, patients had refractory or progressive myeloma while on TBR or within 2 months after discontinuation of TBR. In group B, myeloma progressed more than 2 months after discontinuation of TBR. Results: Among the 114 patients, 41 had not responded to TBR and 73 (64%) had achieved at least a partial response. The median PFS for all patients was 8 months. As of June 2007, 10 patients remain without progression from 28 to 81 months (median 54 months). Eight patients remain off treatment and without progression for a median of 56 months (range 28–81). Patients who did not respond to or progressed after TBR were analyzed for further treatment and outcome. Thirty eight patients (37%) died before receiving further treatment, 23 patients (23%) received conventional chemotherapy and 41 patients (40%) received continuous thalidomide and dexamethasone +/− clarithromycin or cyclophosphamide (17 patients), bortezomib and dexamethasone (7 patients), melphalan-bortezomib-dexamethasone and intermittent thalidomide (12 patients) or lenalidomide with dexamethasone (5 patients). Among these 41 patients, 24 were classified in group A (thalidomide resistant) and 17 in group B. Overall 17 (41%) achieved at least partial response after retreatment with novel agent-based regimens. A response was observed in 46% of patients in group A and in 35% of patients in group B. The median progression free survival of the 41 patients who received retreatment with novel agents was 9.2 months and the median survival was 17 months. Among the 23 patients who received conventional chemotherapy only five (21%) patients responded and the progression free survival and the median survival were 5.3 and 10.2 months, respectively. Conclusions: After an oral TBR regimen 6 (5%) patients remain without treatment and free of progression for more than 4 years. A significant number of patients who progressed after TBR and who received further treatment which included a novel agent achieved a response, including several patients who were resistant to TBR.

Abstract Abstract 539 Introduction: The addition of rituximab to fludarabine-based regimens in CLL has been shown to produce high response rates with extended remissions. The long-term follow-up of these regimens with respect to progression, survival, and development of secondary malignancies has been limited. Patients and Methods: We report the long-term follow up of the chemoimmunotherapy trial CALGB 9712 (Blood 2003;101:6-14). This trial randomized 104 untreated, symptomatic patients to receive either 6 monthly cycles of fludarabine plus rituximab (FR) followed 2 months later by 4 weekly doses of rituximab (concurrent arm) or 6 monthly cycles of single agent fludarabine followed by rituximab consolidation using 4 weekly doses (sequential arm). With a median follow up of 92 months (range: 60-107), we analyzed the updated CALGB database and flow sheets submitted by treating physicians. Results: The overall response rate (ORR) was 84% (95% CI: 77%-91%), with a 90% ORR in the concurrent group (95% CI: 82%-98%) and a 77% ORR in the sequential group (95% CI: 66%-89%). Complete response (CR) was seen in 38% of patients (95% CI: 30%-45%), and partial response (PR) in 46% (95% CI: 38%-54%). The median OS was 85 months (95% CI: 71-95), with 71% of patients alive at 5 years (95% CI: 61%-79%). The median PFS was 37 months (95% CI: 27-45), with 27% progression-free at 5 years (95% CI: 19%-36%). With long-term follow up, the estimated median OS and PFS for the concurrent group were 84 months (95% CI: 57-100) and 32 months (95% CI: 23-55), respectively; the median OS and PFS for the sequential group were 91 months (95% CI: 71-110) and 40 months (95% CI: 23-50), respectively. Patients with del(17p13.1)/del(11q22.3)(18 patients) and unmutated IgVH(43 patients) continue to have an inferior OS (P=0.01 and P=0.04, respectively) and PFS (P=0.03 and P=0.04, respectively) compared to those without these abnormalities. We next assessed the frequency of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) and other cancers occurring after this chemoimmunotherapy regimen. No patient has developed MDS or AML prior to relapse. One patient (1%) developed t-MDS following relapse and receipt of FCR 41 months after completing trial therapy; t-MDS was diagnosed 9 months later. Richter's transformation was noted in three (3%) of the CALGB 9712 patients with large cell (n=2) or Hodgkin lymphoma (n=1). Second malignancies have included localized basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer in 12 (12%) patients whereas 11 (11%) have developed other epithelial malignancies including 4 GI, 3 lung, 3 melanomas, and 1 prostate cancer. Conclusions: Long-term follow up of patients enrolled on CALGB 9712 demonstrates extended OS and PFS with fludarabine plus rituximab, given either concurrently or sequentially, with an estimated 17%(95% CI: 9%-27%) of responders still in remission 8 years later. Looking at other published data, patients treated with FR administered concurrently or sequentially do not appear to have an increased risk of t-MN or second cancers. These long-term data reaffirm that FR is one of several acceptable frontline treatments for symptomatic patients with CLL. Disclosures: Morrison: Genentech: Speakers Bureau.

5015 Purpose: To confirm that concurrent cisplatin (CT) with radiation (RT) is associated with improved long-term progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and decreased morbidity compared to RT stage IB bulky carcinoma of the cervix, when both groups’ therapy is followed by hysterectomy. Methods: Three hundred seventy-four patients entered this trial. There were 369 evaluable patients; 186 were randomly allocated to receive RT alone and 183 to receive CT+RT. Radiation dosage was 40 Gray (Gy) in 20 fractions followed by a single low dose-rate intracavitary application of 30 Gy to Point A. Chemotherapy consisted of cisplatin 40 mg/M2 every week for up to six weekly cycles. Total extrafascial hysterectomy followed the completion of RT by 3–6 weeks. Results: Preliminary results have been published, at which time there many censored observations and limited follow-up. Patient and tumor characteristics were well-balanced between the regimens. The median patient age was 41.5 years; 81% had squamous tumors; 59% were white. Median follow-up is 101 months. The relative risk for progression was 0.61 favoring CT+RT (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.43–0.85, p < 0.004). At 72 months 71% of patients receiving CT+RT were predicted to be alive and disease-free when adjusting age and for tumor size compared to 60% of those receiving RT alone. The adjusted death hazard ratio was 0.63 (95% CI: 0.43–0.91, p < 0.015) favoring CT+RT. At 72 months, 78% of CT+RT patients were predicted to be alive compared to 64% of RT patients. An increased rate of early hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicity was seen with CT+RT. There was no detectable difference in the frequency of late adverse events. Conclusion: Concurrent weekly cisplatin with RT significantly improves long term PFS and OS when compared to RT alone. Serious late effects were not increased. The inclusion of hysterectomy has been discontinued on the basis of another trial. Pending further trials, weekly cisplatin with radiation is the standard against which other regimens must be compared. Key Words: Cervical carcinoma, chemoradiotherapy.

9005 Background: Many studies have identified Sentinel Node (SN) tumor burden as a prognostic factor for additional non- SN (NSN) positivity and / or disease-free (DFS) and melanoma specific survival (MSS). It remains unclear if pts with minimal SN tumor burden can safely be managed without Completion Lymph Node Dissection (CLND). Pts with minimal SN tumor burden might be at risk for late recurrences (> 5 years). Methods: Slides of 595 SN positive patients were reviewed for this pan-European study collaboration in 5 major centers. Slides were reviewed for the microanatomic location and SN tumor burden according to the Rotterdam Criteria (< 0.1mm, 0.1 - 1.0mm and > 1.0 mm) for the maximum diameter of the largest metastasis. MSS, DFS and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rates were calculated, as was NSN positivity. Results: In 595 SN positive pts, the mean and median Breslow thickness was 4.73 and 3.5 mm. Ulceration was present in 51% of melanomas. 67 pts had metastases < 0.1 mm (11%), 226 pts (38%) had 0.1 - 1.0 mm metastases and 302 pts had metastases > 1.0 mm (51%). Mean and median follow-up was 48 and 40 months for all patients (range 1 - 172). Patients with metastases < 0.1 mm had mean and median follow-up of 61 and 57 months, 46% (31pts) had follow up > 5 years and 25% (17 pts) had follow-up longer than 80 months (range 3 - 132). 5-year MSS rates were 94% for metastases < 0.1 mm, 70% for 0.1 - 1.0 mm and 57% for > 1.0 mm (p<0.001). 5-year DMFS rate was 91% for metastases < 0.1 mm. NSN positivity occurred in 5% of < 0.1mm, 17% of 0.1 - 1.0 and 29% of metastases > 1.0 mm (p<0.001). Conclusions: This large multicenter experience (n=595) has demonstrated that long-term follow-up of melanoma patients with minimal SN tumor burden (< 0.1 mm) indicates very low relapse rates and excellent MSS, seemingly identical to SN negative patients. With prolonged follow-up, an increase in the occurrence of relapses of any kind between 5 and 10 years follow up has not been identified, and excellent 10-year survival rates are expected.

1077 Background: 1st-line BEV combined with weekly PAC significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) and response rate (RR) vs PAC alone in HER2-negative mBC, as shown in E2100. We analyzed data from a German routine oncology practice study of 1st-line BEV–PAC according to prognostic factors. Methods: Pts who had received no prior chemotherapy for mBC received BEV–PAC according to the European label. Efficacy and safety were documented for up to 1 y (or until progression, death, or BEV discontinuation if earlier) with additional long-term follow-up. Efficacy was analyzed in clinically important subgroups. Results: Efficacy data were available for 818 pts. The median duration of follow-up was 11.4 mo. The composition of the pt population with respect to the subgroups below was generally similar to the population treated in E2100, except for a higher proportion of pts with visceral disease or metastases in <3 organs. RR was very similar across all subgroups analyzed. Differences in median PFS and OS were generally in line with the differing prognoses according to clinical characteristics. Conclusions: These data suggest that 1st-line BEV–PAC is typically associated with median PFS >9 mo in the real-life setting, irrespective of baseline characteristics. [Table: see text]

8050 Background: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy has been regarded as one of the standard management for localized nasal NKTCL. However, its long-term efficacy and toxicity is not known. Methods: The JCOG0211 trial is a phase I/II study of concurrent chemoradiotherapy consisting of radiotherapy (RT) of 50 Gy and 3 cycles of DeVIC (carboplatin, etoposide, ifosfamide, dexamethasone) for newly diagnosed, localized nasal NKTCL (JCO 2009). Patients (Pts) with newly diagnosed, localized diseases (IE & contiguous IIE with cervical node involvement) who were 20-69 yrs of age with PS 0-2 were eligible. 3-D conformal RT planning with a wide margin (+ 2 cm to the gross tumor, the entire nasal cavity and the nasopharynx) and a 2-step cone down were required. 33 pts were enrolled in the study, 27 of whom were treated with RT and a 2/3-dose of DeVIC, which was selected as the recommended phase II dose in the preceding phase I portion of the trial. All pts completed RT without any protocol violations. Long-term follow-up results on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and toxicity were evaluated. Results: The median follow-up was 69 months (range, 62-96). The pt (N=33) characteristics were as follows: median age 54 yrs (range, 21-68); stage IIE 33%; B symptom (+) 36%; elevated serum LDH 21%. %5-yr OS and PFS were 73% (95%CI, 54-85%) and 67% (95%CI, 48-80%), respectively. 11 pts (33%) experienced disease recurrence. Two achieved a 2nd CR by salvage chemotherapies followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation, and the remaining 9 pts died of disease. There was no observed death and disease progression after 34 and 31 months, respectively. One pt experienced Grade 3 irregular menstruation for 3 years. No other Grade 3 or 4 late non-RT-associated adverse events (AEs) were observed. One pt received plastic surgery due to Grade 4 RT dermatitis. No other Grade 3 or greater RT-associated late AEs were encountered. Conclusions: Both survival benefit and disease control from concurrent chemoradiotherapy with RT and DeVIC are maintained during a 5-yr follow-up, indicating the excellent efficacy of this approach as a first-line therapy for localized nasal NKTCL. Long-term toxicity is acceptable.

3538 Background: CRC liver metastases can be resected after downsizing with intensive chemotherapy schedules, with a strong correlation between the response and resection rates. Cetuximab plus chemotherapy has been shown to increase the rates of tumor response and resection of liver metastases. (Van Cutsem et al, JCO 2011). Methods: Patients (pts) with technically non-resectable and/or with > 4 liver metastases were randomized to treatment with FOLFOX/cetuximab (arm A) or FOLFIRI/cetuximab (arm B) and evaluated regarding resectability every 2 months. Resection was offered to all patients who became resectable during the study. K-ras and b-raf status were retrospectively evaluated. Data on tumor response and resection were reported earlier (Folprecht et al, Lancet Oncol 2010). Overall and progression free survival were analyzed in December 2012. Results: Between Dec 2004 and March 2008, 56 pts were randomized to arm A, 55 to arm B. For the current analysis, 109 pts were evaluable for overall survival (OS), and 106 patients for PFS. The median OS was 35.7 [95% CI: 27.2-44.2] months (arm A: 35.8 [28.1-43.6], arm B: 29.0 [16.0-41.9], HR 1.03 [0.66-1.61], p=0.9). The median PFS was 10.8 [9.3-12.2] months (Arm A: 11.2 [7.2-15.3], Arm B: 10.5 [8.9-12.2], HR 1.18 [0.79-1.74], p=0.4). Patients with R0 resection had a better OS (median: 53.9 [35.9-71.9] mo) than patients without R0 resection (27.3 [21.1-33.4] mo, p=0.002) and a better PFS (median 15.4 [11.4-19.5] and 8.9 [6.7-11.1] mo in R0 resected and not R0 resected pts, p<0.001). The 5 year survival in R0 resected patients is 46.2% [29.5-62.9%]. Conclusions: This study confirmed a favourable long term survival of patients with initially “nonresectable” CRC liver metastases treated in a multidisciplinary approach of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with cetuximab and subsequent metastasectomy in pts who became resectable.
