3532 Background: Linifanib is a potent and selective inhibitor of VEGF/PDGF receptors. This trial assessed the efficacy and safety of mFOLFOX6 in combination with linifanib or bevacizumab as second-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods: Patients (pts) with measurable mCRC refractory to 1 prior regimen and ECOG PS 0–1, stratified by prior bevacizumab treatment and radiotherapy, were randomized to receive mFOLFOX6 with bevacizumab 10 mg/kg on day (d) 1 of 14-d cycle (Arm A), mFOLFOX6 with daily linifanib 7.5 mg (Arm B), or mFOLFOX6 with daily linifanib 12.5 mg (Arm C). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Severity of adverse events (AEs) was graded using NCI-CTCAE v3.0. Results: 148 pts were randomized at 45 sites in 14 countries. 32 pts (21.6%) had received prior bevacizumab. PFS and response data are shown below (Table). Median survival (OS) was not reached at median follow up 7.6 months. Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) was the only Grade 3/4 AE significantly higher on linifanib (high dose, 16.3%) vs. bevacizumab (0%). Rate of any Grade 3+ AE was significantly higher on linifanib vs. bevacizumab.Hypertension rates were 41.7% (Arm A), 40.0% (Arm B), and 36.7% (Arm C). AEs dose-related to linifanib were constipation, proctalgia, stomatitis, fatigue, weight decrease, decreased appetite, and PPE. Conclusions: The addition of linifanib to mFOLFOX6, compared to mFOLFOX6 + bevacizumab, did not provide a PFS advantage for mCRC. OS results will be updated for conference presentation.

3519 Background: Several studies of oxaliplatin plus S-1 combination therapy (SOX) conducted in Asia have shown promising efficacy and safety for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), suggesting the potential to replace mFOLFOX6. We performed a randomized phase III trial to determine whether SOX plus bevacizmab (SOX+Bev) is non-inferior to mFOLFOX6 plus bevacizmab (mFOLFOX6+Bev) in terms of progression-free survival (PFS). Methods: The SOFT study was a randomized, open-label, phase III trial. Chemotherapy-naïve patients (pts) with mCRC, an ECOG PS of 0-1, and adequate organ functions were randomized to receive either mFOLFOX6+Bev (5 mg/kg of bevacizumab, followed by 200 mg/m2 of l-leucovorin given simultaneously with 85 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin, followed by a 400 mg/m2 bolus of 5-FU on day 1 and then 2,400 mg/m2 of 5-FU over 46 h, every 2 weeks) or SOX+Bev (7.5 mg/kg of bevacizumab, 130 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin on day 1, and 40−60 mg of S-1 twice daily for 2 weeks, followed by a 1-week rest). The primary endpoint was PFS. A sample size of 225 pts per group was estimated to be necessary based on a median PFS of 10.0 months in each group and an 80% power to demonstrate non-inferiority of SOX+Bev with a 2.5-month margin (hazard ratio, HR = 1.33) and a 2-sided alpha of 0.05. Results: A total of 512 pts were enrolled from February 2009 to March 2011. Data were analyzed after confirming >388 events as planned. Demographic factors were well balanced. Pts received a median of 12 cycles (1 cycle = 2 weeks) of mFOLFOX6+Bev and 8 cycles (1 cycle = 3 weeks) of SOX+Bev (range: 1−16). Median PFS was 11.5 months (95% CI: 10.7−13.2) with mFOLFOX6+Bev and 11.7 months (95% CI: 10.7−12.9) with SOX+Bev. The adjusted HR for PFS was 1.043 (95% CI: 0.860−1.266), and the p value for non-inferiority was 0.0139. Response rate was 62.7% with mFOLFOX6+Bev and 61.5% with SOX+Bev. Grade 3/4 toxicities (%) with mFOLFOX6+Bev/SOX+Bev were leukopenia 8.4/2.4, neutropenia 33.7/8.8, anorexia 1.2/5.2, and diarrhea 2.8/9.2. Conclusions: SOX+Bev is non-inferior to mFOLFOX6+Bev with respect to PFS as 1st-line treatment for mCRC and thus can replace mFOLFOX6+Bev. Clinical trial information: JapicCTI-090699.

538 Background: Aflibercept (AF), a recombinant fusion protein, is a potent inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor. This study assessed the safety, dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), recommended dose (RD), and the pharmacokinetics (PK) of AF in combination with FOLFIRI. Methods: This was an open-label, sequential-cohort, dose-escalation study of intravenous AF administered every 2 weeks, in combination with FOLFIRI (fixed doses) in patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC). Two dose levels (DL) of AF (2 and 4 mg/kg) were set, and 3-6 pts were to be recruited in each DL. DLTs were to be evaluated in the first 2 cycles. RD was defined as the highest AF dose at which <33% of all evaluable pts experienced DLTs. After establishment of RD, 10 additional pts were treated at RD. PK of AF, irinotecan, SN38, and 5-FU were studied in cycle 1. Results: 16 pts (3 at 2 mg/kg and 13 at 4 mg/kg) with MCRC were treated (M/F, 10/6; median age, 57.0 [47-69]; and ECOG PS 0/1, 9/7), and all had received prior chemotherapies. A total of 131 cycles of AF + FOLFIRI were administered at the two DLs of AF (2 and 4 mg/kg). No DLT was observed. The most common all-causality grade 3/4 adverse events were neutropenia (75.0 %) including one febrile neutropenia after DLT evaluation period and hypertension (25.0%). There was no major safety issue at the RD. Response rate and progression free survival at RD (N=13 pts) was 7.8% and 7.6 month, respectively. Conclusions: RD was determined as 4 mg/kg in this first clinical study of AF in Japanese pts with MCRC. The combination of AF (4 mg/kg) and FOLFIRI was well tolerated in line with results of prior overseas studies. The PK results in Japanese patients showed similar tendency to those reported in patients from other regions of the world. [Table: see text]

3619^ Background: Patients (pts) with unresectable colorectal cancer liver-only metastases (CLMs) may become resectable after downsizing by chemotherapy (CT) and biologic therapy. Although biologics are thought to improve overall response rate (ORR), the optimal combination of a biologic and CT for resectability remains uncertain. Methods: This open-label, multinational study randomized pts with unresectable CLMs to bevacizumab (BEV) plus mFOLFOX6 or FOLFOXIRI q2w. Resectability was assessed by interdisciplinary review. Unresectability was defined as ≥1 of the following: no possibility of upfront R0/R1 resection of all hepatic lesions, <30% estimated residual liver after resection, or disease in contact with major vessels of the remnant liver. The primary end point was overall resection rate (R0/R1/R2). Results: From 10/2008 to 12/2011, 80 pts were randomized to mFOLFOX6-BEV (n=39) or FOLFOXIRI-BEV (n=41). Pt characteristics were male (46% vs 71%), aged ≥60 y (36% vs 63%), ECOG PS of 1 (23% vs 37%), and ≥5 target CLMs (49% vs 49%) in the mFOLFOX6-BEV and FOLFOXIRI-BEV arms, respectively. Resection rate, ORR, and progression-free survival (PFS) data are shown (Table). Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 84% and 95% of pts receiving mFOLFOX6-BEV and FOLFOXIRI-BEV, respectively, and included neutropenia (35% vs 48%; febrile, 8% vs 13%) and diarrhea (14% vs 28%). Conclusions: The results suggest that FOLFOXIRI-BEV improves resection rates, ORR, and long-term outcomes vs mFOLFOX6-BEV in pts with initially unresectable CLMs. CT- and BEV-related AEs occurred with the expected incidence and were manageable. FOLFOXIRI-BEV should be evaluated further as an effective regimen to downsize CLMs. Clinical trial information: NCT00778102. [Table: see text]

BackgroundIn RECOURSE (, trifluridine/tipiracil significantly improved overall survival and progression-free survival (PFS) versus placebo in patients with pretreated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). PRECONNECT was designed to further characterise safety and clinical use of trifluridine/tipiracil.MethodsIn this ongoing, international, multicentre, open-label trial, patients with pretreated mCRC received oral trifluridine/tipiracil 35 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1–5 and 8–12 of each 28-day cycle. The primary endpoint was safety; secondary endpoints included PFS and quality of life (QoL).Results793 patients (median age 62 years) from 13 countries received trifluridine/tipiracil for a median of 2.84 months (IQR 2.64). Adverse events (AEs) were experienced by 96.7%; the most common (≥20% of patients) were neutropaenia, asthenia/fatigue, nausea, anaemia and diarrhoea. Grade ≥3 AEs occurred in 73.9% of patients, with the most common being neutropaenia (39.1% of patients), anaemia (9.8%) and asthenia/fatigue (5.0%). Median PFS was 2.8 months (95% CI 2.7 to 2.9). Median time to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status deterioration (≥2) was 8.9 months (range 0.03–14.72). There was no clinically relevant change from baseline in QoL.ConclusionsPRECONNECT showed consistent results with the previously demonstrated safety and efficacy profile of trifluridine/tipiracil, with no new safety concerns identified. QoL was maintained during treatment.Trial registration numberNCT03306394.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the objective tumor response rates and toxicities of leucovorin (LV) plus fluorouracil (5-FU) cancer regimen combined with oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2) every 2 weeks on metastatic colorectal cancer patients with documented proof of progression while on bimonthly LV and 5-FU alone. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred patients were enrolled onto this study and 97 received the study drugs between October 1995 and December 1996. Eighty-nine patients were eligible for per-protocol efficacy analysis with documented proof of progression on one of the following two treatments: LV 500 mg/m2 and continuous 5-FU infusion 1.5 to 2 g/m2/22 hours, days 1 through 2 every 2 weeks (FOLFUHD); or LV 200 mg/m2, bolus 5-FU 400 mg/m2, and continuous 5-FU infusion 600 mg/m2/22 hours, days 1 through 2 every 2 weeks (LV5FU2). In our study, 40 patients received FOLFUHD + 85 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin day 1 (FOLFOX3) and 57 patients received LV5FU2 + 85 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin day 1 (FOLFOX4). RESULTS: Of the 97 patients treated, 20 partial responses were observed (FOLFOX3/4: response rate, 20.6%; 95% confidence interval, 13% to 31.1%; FOLFOX3: response rate,18.4%; FOLFOX4: response rate, 23.5%). For patients treated with FOLFOX3/4, the median response duration for was 7.5 months, and the major toxicities were peripheral neuropathy and neutropenia. The incidence of grade 3 (National Cancer Institute common toxicity criteria) peripheral neuropathy was 20.6%; whereas the overall incidence of grade 3 to 4 neutropenia was 27.8%, 15%, and 36.9% for FOLFOX3/4, FOLFOX3, and FOLFOX4, respectively (P = .02). From the start of treatment, median progression-free survival was 4.7, 4.6, and 5.1 months for FOLFOX3/4, FOLFOX3, FOLFOX4, respectively, and median overall survival was 10.8, 10.6, and 11.1 months, respectively. CONCLUSION: This phase II study of oxaliplatin at 85 mg/m2 in combination with bimonthly LV plus 5-FU in patients with colorectal cancer resistant to LV plus 5-FU alone confirms the enhanced antitumor activity of oxaliplatin in combination with 5-FU.

3572 Background: Cetuximab (cet) increases survival in RAS wild-type (WT) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in first-line and chemorefractory patients (pts). Adding irinotecan (iri) to cet in refractory pts who had progressed on iri increased response and delayed progression in the BOND trial, which was conducted prior to recognition that RAS mutations are predictive of EGFR-inhibitor (EGFR-I) resistance. Subsequent trials in chemorefractory pts used single agent EGFR-I as standard. In the era of biomarker selection, the benefit of continuing iri versus single agent EGFR-I had not been resolved. Methods: ICECREAM is a randomised phase II trial evaluating cet v cet + iri in chemotherapy-refractory mCRC, stratified for KRAS G13D mutation (previously reported) or no mutations in KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and PI3KCA (Quad WT ). EGFR-I naïve, ECOG PS 0-1 pts, progressing within 6 months of iri and refractory (or intolerant) to fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin were randomised to cet 400mg/m2 IV loading then 250mg/m2 weekly +/- iri 180mg/m2q2 wks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival at 6 months (6m PFS); secondary endpoints were response rate (RR), overall survival (OS), toxicity and quality of life (QOL). Results: From Nov 2012 to June 2016, 48 Quad WT pts were recruited: 2 ineligible (not iri-refractory, BRAF mutation) wre not included for analyses and a further 2 not evaluable for response. Characteristics were balanced between cet (n = 21) v cet-iri (n = 25), except for sex (male 62 v 72%) and primary site (left 95 v 68%). 6m PFS rate was 14% v 41%; HR 0.39 (95% CI: 0.20–0.78, p = 0.008). RR was 10% (2 PR) v 36% (1 CR, 8 PR); p = 0.04. Toxicities were higher with cet-iri; at least one grade 3/4 adverse event in 50 v 23%. No differences in global or specific QOL were seen. Conclusions: The AGITG ICECREAM trial confirms a significant synergy for the addition of iri to cet and improved PFS in Quad WT chemorefractory mCRC, echoing data in molecularly unselected pts.

832 Background: The J003 trial and RECOURSE trial revealed the safety and efficacy of TAS-102 for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). In March 2014, TAS-102 was approved in Japan. However, in these pivotal trials, there were few cases in which regorafenib was administered as prior treatments, and also there were few reports on the effectiveness and safety of TAS-102 after administration of regorafenib. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 126 patients who received TAS-102 after administration of regorafenib in the multi-institutional retrospective study (HGCSG1503). This study was analyzed by CTCAE v4.0 for adverse events (AEs), RECIST v1.1 for response rate (RR)/disease control rate (DCR), and Kaplan-Meier method for progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: Patients characteristics were as follows; male/female 75/51, median age 66.5 (range 38-84), ECOG PS (0/1/2/3) 48/64/12/2, KRAS Exon2 wild/mutant 64/60 (2 patients; KRAS Exon2 was not tested). The initial starting dose was 70 mg/m2 (n = 100, 79.4%) and reduced dose (n = 26, 20.6%). Dose reductions were required in 30 patients (30.9%). The common ≥grade 3 AEs were neutrophil count decreased (45.1%), white blood cell decreased (34.9%), and anemia (28.6%). RR and DCR were 0% and 36.5%, respectively. Median PFS and OS were 2.1 and 5.7 months. In the analysis on the relationship between ECOG PS 0-1 and PS 2-3, median PFS was 2.2 vs. 1.4 months (HR 2.187, p = 0.008), and MST was 6.5 vs. 2.7 months (HR 2.424, p = 0.002). Conclusions: In this analysis, TAS-102 after administration of regorafenib in the real-world clinical practice showed similar efficacy and safety to the pivotal clinical trials, except for patients with PS 2-3. Clinical trial information: 000020551.

Background. This open-label, single-arm, two-stage, Phase II study investigated the efficacy and safety of bi-weekly pemetrexed combined with irinotecan, in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), after first-line chemotherapy using FOLFOX regimen.Patients and methods. Patients received pemetrexed 400 mg/m²as a 10-minute intravenous infusion (with vitamin supplementation) followed by irinotecan 180 mg/m²as a 90-minute infusion on day 1 of a 14-day cycle, for a maximum of 12 cycles. The primary endpoint was response rate (RR;H0≤5%,Ha≥20%,α=0.05, power = 90%). Secondary endpoints were duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicities.Results. Partial response was observed in six out of 44 patients enrolled in the study (RR = 13.6%). The median PFS and OS were 4.0 and 13.9 months, respectively. The most common grade 3-4 toxicities were fatigue: 20.5% of patients, neutropenia: 18.6%, diarrhea: 13.6%, elevated transaminases: 9.5%, anemia: 9.3%, and vomiting: 6.8%.Conclusion. Pemetrexed plus irinotecan administered every two weeks is an active and well-tolerated regimen in mCRC patients pretreated with FOLFOX regimen. However, this regimen does not seem to provide clinically relevant advantage over historical data of a classical FOLFIRI regimen.

Abstract Background We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of combination treatment with panitumumab plus trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) in patients with wild-type RAS metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who were refractory/intolerant to standard therapies other than anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy. Methods APOLLON was an open-label, multicentre, phase 1/2 trial. In the phase 1 part, 3 + 3 de-escalation design was used to investigate the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D); all patients in the phase 2 part received the RP2D. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 6 months. Secondary endpoints included PFS, overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), time to treatment failure (TTF), and safety. Results Fifty-six patients were enrolled (phase 1, n = 7; phase 2, n = 49) at 25 Japanese centres. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed in patients receiving panitumumab (6 mg/kg every 2 weeks) plus FTD/TPI (35 mg/m2 twice daily; days 1–5 and 8–12 in a 28-day cycle), which became RP2D. PFS rate at 6 months was 33.3% (90% confidence interval [CI] 22.8–45.3). Median PFS, OS, ORR, DCR, and TTF were 5.8 months (95% CI 4.5–6.5), 14.1 months (95% CI 12.2–19.3), 37.0% (95% CI 24.3–51.3), 81.5% (95% CI 68.6–90.8), and 5.8 months (95% CI 4.29–6.21), respectively. Neutrophil count decreased (47.3%) was the most common Grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse event. No treatment-related deaths occurred. Conclusion Panitumumab plus FTD/TPI exhibited favourable anti-tumour activity with a manageable safety profile and may be a therapeutic option for pre-treated mCRC patients.

In the RECOURSE trial which lead to its accreditation, Lonsurf (trifluridine/tipiracil) was shown to extend progression free survival (PFS) by 1.8 months in metastatic colorectal cancer. This Trust audit aims to assess the average quantity of cycles of Lonsurf received by participants and the length of time it extends PFS. Similarly, to identify how many participants required a dose-reduction or experienced toxicities which necessitated supportive therapies. Quantitative data was collected retrospectively from all participants who had received ≥1 cycle of Lonsurf from The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre (CCC) from 2016 until June 2020. Participant electronic patient records were accessed to identify toxicity grading, length of treatment received, the date progression was identified, if dose reductions were applied and if supportive therapies were administered. Lonsurf extends PFS in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer at CCC by 3.0 months (95% CI: 2.73–3.27) and average treatment length was 2.4 months. However, 78 participants (41.5%) received a dose reduction due to toxicities. A total of 955 toxicities were recorded by participants; the most commonly reported toxicities irrespective of grade were fatigue (33.8%), diarrhoea (13.8%) and nausea (12.3%). The most common grade ≥3 toxicities were constipation and infection. The most frequently utilised supportive therapies were loperamide (49.6%) and domperidone (49.1%). Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF) was required by patients on 5 occasions (0.3%) in total. Lonsurf extends median PFS in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer by 3.0 months. The most common grade ≥3 toxicities which necessitated supportive therapies or a dose reduction were gastrointestinal and infection.
