4012 Background: LOH at 18q is associated with poorer overall survival in patients with colon cancer; however available studies are retrospective and vary in analysis methods. We recently completed an 18qLOH assay method validation study, and after standardizing technique, this prospective study investigated the role of 18qLOH among patients with low-risk stage II colon cancer. Methods: In Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) protocol 9581, we randomized 1738 stage II patients to post-operative treatment with a 500 mg loading dose of monoclonal antibody 17–1A followed by four infusions of 100 mg every 28 days or observation. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS); disease free survival (DFS) was a secondary endpoint. Status of 18qLOH was assessed in patients with available tissue and interpretable PCR results. Patients were excluded if their tumors were uninformative for 18qLOH or if their tumors displayed microsatellite instability. Results: We report 18qLOH data on 156 patients. Patient characteristics including treatment, age, gender, performance status, site and grade of tumor, were similar between all patients enrolled and the subset of patients with tumor samples analyzed. The DFS and OS for treated and observed patients were no different (5-yr DFS: 0.81 and 0.80, p= 0.96; 5-yr OS: 0.88 and 0.86, p=0.44 at a median of 6.8 yrs of follow-up) and the data were pooled across the study's arms. Of the tumors examined, 101 (65%) were positive for 18qLOH. A significantly lower proportion of patients with 18qLOH-positive tumors had proximal tumors (46.5% vs 65.5%; p=0.02). Significantly decreased DFS and OS were observed in patients with 18qLOH-positive tumors. Five-year DFS among patients with 18qLOH-positive tumors was 0.78 vs 0.93 among patients with 18qLOH-negative tumors [HR 0.39; 95% CI (0.16, 0.94); logrank p=0.03 based on 33 events]. Five-year OS among patients with 18qLOH-positive tumors was 0.85 vs 0.98 among patients with 18qLOH-negative tumors [HR 0.25; 95% CI (0.07, 0.83); logrank p=0.01 based on 24 events]. Conclusions LOH at 18q was prognostic for DFS and OS among patients with available tissue for analysis after resection of low-risk stage II colon cancer who were not treated with chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting.

3548 Background: Colon cancer is potentially curable by surgery in the early stages of the disease. Adjuvant chemotherapy improves disease-free and overall survival in patients with stage III disease, but the magnitude of benefit in stage II colon cancer is less clear. A previous Cochrane systematic review and meta-analysis (SR/MA) found improved disease-free, but not overall survival (Figueredo et al., 2008). An updated SR/MA was performed to determine the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy on disease-free and overall survival in patients with stage II colon cancer. Methods: Relevant databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane) were independently searched by all authors, using the same search strategy employed in the original study (1/1988 to 9/2012). Randomized trials containing data on stage II colon cancer patients undergoing adjuvant 5-fluorouracil (5FU) chemotherapy versus observation were included. Pooled results were expressed as hazard ratios (HR) whenever possible, or risk ratios (RR), with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) using a random effects model. Results: Seven studies were identified, and included in the final SR/MA. Six of the 7 studies were included in the disease-free survival analysis (n=4587). Adjuvant 5FU was associated with better disease-free survival (RR 0.84 (95%CI 0.75-0.94)). All 7 studies (n=5353) were included in the overall survival analysis showing an improvement with adjuvant 5FU (HR 0.87 (95%CI 0.78-0.97)). There was no evidence of heterogeneity across the studies (I2 = 0% for all analyses). Conclusions: In stage II colon cancer, adjuvant 5FU chemotherapy statistically improves both disease-free and overall survival. Our SR/MA demonstrates, for the first time, an overall survival advantage with adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II colon cancer.

Purpose To develop a systematic review that would address the following question: Should patients with stage II colon cancer receive adjuvant therapy? Methods A systematic review was undertaken to locate randomized controlled trials comparing adjuvant therapy to observation. Results Thirty-seven trials and 11 meta-analyses were included. The evidence for stage II colon cancer comes primarily from a trial of fluorouracil plus levamisole and a meta-analysis of 1,016 patients comparing fluorouracil plus folinic acid versus observation. Neither detected an improvement in disease-free or overall survival for adjuvant therapy. A recent pooled analysis of data from seven trials observed a benefit for adjuvant therapy in a multivariate analysis for both disease-free and overall survival. The disease-free survival benefits appeared to extend to stage II patients; however, no P values were provided. A meta-analysis of chemotherapy by portal vein infusion has also shown a benefit in disease-free and overall survival for stage II patients. A meta-analysis was conducted using data on stage II patients where data were available (n = 4,187). The mortality risk ratio was 0.87 (95% CI, 0.75 to 1.01; P = .07). Conclusion There is preliminary evidence indicating that adjuvant therapy is associated with a disease-free survival benefit for patients with stage II colon cancer. These benefits are small and not necessarily associated with improved overall survival. Patients should be made aware of these results and encouraged to participate in active clinical trials. Additional investigation of newer therapies and more mature data from the presently available trials should be pursued.

375 Background: The use of adjuvant chemotherapy remains controversial in Stage II colon cancer. However, patients with specific clinicopathological features are thought to have high risk for recurrence. The aim of this study was to identify the subgroup of patients at great risk, by investigating the clinicopathological features associated with poor survived in Stage II. Methods: A total of 282 patients with Stage II colon cancer who underwent curative resection from January 1990 to September 2007 at Kanagawa Cancer Center were enrolled. Then, the clinicopathological data of the patients were retrospectively evaluated. Disease-free survival rates were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival curves were compared by the log-rank test. Cox’s regression analysis was used for multivariate analyses. P values <0.05 were considered to be statistically significant. Results: The median follow up was 62.5 months. The 5-year disease-free survival was 92.2% in the study group as a whole. Among the recurrent patients (n=23), the most recurrent site was the liver (n=11, 44%), followed by lung (n=6, 24%), and peritoneum (n=5, 20%). Univariate analysis for 5-year disease-free survival identified two factors; tumor diameter (>5cm vs…5cm, p=0.018), and lymphatic invasion (p=0.009). Multivariate analysis for 5-year disease-free survival identified two independent factors; tumor diameter (hazard ratio [HR], 4.82; 95% CI, 1.55-15.0; p=0.006), and lymphatic invasion (HR, 4.15; 95% CI, 1.68-10.2; p=0.002). The 5-year disease-free survival differed significantly among patients with neither of these prognostic factors (98.6%), those with only 1 factor (93.3%), and those with 2 factors (76.6%, p=0.000). Conclusions: Patients with stage II colon cancer who have both 5cm in diameter and lymphatic invasion are at high risk for recurrence. The use of adjuvant chemotherapy should be considered in this subgroup of patients.

4011 Background: The IDEA collaboration for high-risk stage 2 colorectal cancer patients (pts) demonstrated that for CAPOX, 3 months was non-inferior to 6 months treatment, while for FOLFOX, 6 months was superior to 3 months treatment. We investigated the impact of high risk features on disease-free survival (DFS). Methods: ACHIEVE-2, one of the 4 IDEA studies (SCOT, TOSCA, ACHIEVE-2, HORG), was an open-label, multicenter randomized trial for high-risk stage II colon cancer. High risk features are defined as one or more: T4, inadequate nodal harvest < 12, poorly differentiated, clinical sign of obstruction and perforation or vascular invasion. The association of high risk features with DFS were measured by Cox regression analyses. Results: Between 2014 and 2017, ACHIEVE-2 enrolled 525 pts, out of whom 514 pts were the modified ITT (mITT) population; 432 received CAPOX (84.0%) and 82 did mFOLFOX6 (16.0%). High-risk features included 35.8% of T4, 12.8% of inadequate nodal harvest, 11.5% of poorly differentiated, 19.3% of obstruction, 6.4% of perforation and 87.5% of vascular invasion; 47.3% had one features, 35.2% had two, 14.6% had three, and 2.9% had four or more. With a median follow-up of 36.1 months, 3-year DFS rates were 88% in both arms, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.12 (95% CI, 0.67-1.87, p=0.67). In multivariate analysis, T4 (HR 3.77 [2.18-6.53], p< 0.0001) and inadequate nodal harvest (HR 2.98 [1.59-5.59], p= 0.0006) remained independent significant negative prognostic factors. The 3-year DFS rates in T4 and Non-T4 diseases were 78% and 94% (p<0.0001), while 3-year DFS rate in pts with inadequate and adequate nodal harvest were 77% and 90% (p=0.0059). No interaction was observed between treatment duration and T4 or inadequate nodal harvest. Conclusions: Our findings indicated the relative impact of high risk features on DFS varies across factors; T4 and inadequate nodal harvest < 12 were more significant than the others. Our results must be interpreted within the combined analysis as well as within the reproducibility of results across the 4 trials. Clinical trial information: 000013036 .
