467 Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ganetespib, a heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor, as monotherapy in patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods: A phase II study utilizing a two-stage design was performed in which patients received Ganetespib 200 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) one time per week for three weeks followed by a one week break. Patients underwent pre and 48 hour post treatment tumor biopsies. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed for p/Erk, CyclinD1, p/Akt, HIF-1a, VEGFr2 , p70S6 and Hsp70. Archived and pre dose biopsy tissue was utilized for KRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA genotyping using a Sequenom platform. Results: Fifteen patients were treated (median age 58, range 44-79). There were no responders. Two patients had stable disease lasting 31 and 23 weeks. The most frequent grade 1/2 toxicities were diarrhea, fatigue, nausea/vomiting and elevated transaminases ( Table ). These complications did not result in any treatment interruption. The most frequent grade 3 adverse events were diarrhea (12%), fatigue (24%), and elevated AST(12%) and Alk phos(29%). Three (20%) patients required dose reductions, 1 grade 3 AST, 1 grade3 ALT and 1 grade 3 fatigue. Conclusions: This was the first study of an Hsp90 inhibitor in colorectal cancer. Ganetespib treatment did not produce tumor responses when administered as a single agent in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer with this dosing regimen. Overall the drug was well tolerated and the toxicity profile was minimal. Ganetespib may be used in combination in future studies. Correlative IHC analyses will be presented. [Table: see text]

PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy of fluorouracil (5-FU) plus eniluracil when administered to patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this single-arm phase II study, patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer received oral eniluracil plus 5-FU (10:1 dose ratio), at 5-FU doses of 1.00 mg/m2 or 1.15 mg/m2 twice daily (every 12 hours) for 28 consecutive days repeated every 5 weeks (one cycle). Treatment continued until there was documented disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. RESULTS: Thirty and 25 patients were enrolled at a starting dose of 1.00 mg/m2 and 1.15 mg/m2, respectively. Fourteen (25%) of 55 patients (95% confidence interval, 15% to 39%) had a partial response, and 20 patients (36%) had stable disease. The median durations of the partial responses and stable disease were 23.9 weeks (range, 12.3 to 52.1+ weeks) and 24.1 weeks (range, 17.1 to 55.6+ weeks), respectively. The median durations of progression-free and overall survival were 22.6 weeks (range, 21.0 to 29.0 weeks) and 59 weeks (range, 4 to 84+ weeks), respectively. The response rate in the 1.15 mg/m2–dose group was similar to the 1.00 mg/m2–dose group (28% v 23%, respectively). Severe (grade 3/4) nonhematologic treatment-related toxicity included diarrhea (nine patients), nausea/vomiting (one patient each), mucositis (two patients), and anorexia (one patient). Severe hematologic toxicities were rare. At the 1.15 mg/m2–dose level, two patients exhibited grade 3 granulocytopenia, and two patients had grade 3 anemia. CONCLUSION: The response rate with oral 5-FU plus eniluracil is comparable with that observed with infusional 5-FU or bolus 5-FU and leucovorin. The toxicity profile of this oral regimen is acceptable for use in an outpatient home-based setting.

598 Background: The previous phase II study of the oral S-1 plus oral Leucovorin (LV) (2 weeks’ treatment regimen followed by a 2 week rest period) for patients (pts) with untreated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have shown to be effective, but the grade 3 toxicities (diarrhea, stomatitis, and anorexia) were observed with relatively high frequency. In this phase II study, we tried to improve the administration schedule of S-1 plus LV regimens for well-tolerated toxicities and evaluated the efficacy. Methods: Pts were eligible as follows: histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma, age≥20, ECOG PS 0-1, no prior chemotherapy, at least one measurable lesion by RECIST ver1.0 criteria, adequate organ function, and written informed consent. S-1 (40-60 mg bid) and LV (25 mg bid) were orally administered for 1 week, followed by an 1 week rest period. Treatment was repeated until the onset of disease progression or unacceptable adverse events occurred. The primary endpoint was the response rate (RR), and the secondary endpoints were efficacy and safety. Results: From October 2008 to June 2009, 73 pts were enrolled in Japan and China. Of the eligible 71 pts, median age was 60 (range 27-84), Male/Female was 38/33, PS:0/1 was 39/32, and Japan/China was 32/39. RR as primary endpoint was 53.5% (95% CI, 41.3-65.5), and Disease Control Rate was 83.1%. With a median follow-up period of 26.4 months, the median Progression Free Survival was 6.5 months. Median Overall Survival was 24.3 months with the survival rate of 77.5 % at 1 year and 53.2 % at 2 years. The incidences of grade 3 adverse drug reactions were diarrhea 8.3 %, stomatitis 8.3%, anorexia 2.8%, neutropenia 9.7%, and there was no treatment-related death. Conclusions: The newly improved 1 week S-1 plus LV treatment regimen showed good efficacy and better tolerability than the 2 weeks’ treatment regimen. This therapy showed promising activity in pts with untreated mCRC without the concurrent use of irinotecan, oxaliplatin, or molecular-targeted drugs. This trial was supported by Taiho Pharmaceutical CO., LTD. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00891332 .

560 Background: Everolimus (E) is an oral inhibitor of mTOR. Tivozanib (T) is a highly potent, selective, oral inhibitor of VEGF receptors-1, -2, and -3. Preclinical data suggest antitumor activity for this combination in colorectal cancer. We therefore performed a multicenter Phase Ib trial of E + T in patients (pts) with any refractory gastrointestinal (GI) malignancy, followed by a Phase II trial of E + T in pts with refractory, metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods: Eligibility criteria: histologically confirmed, measurable disease; ECOG PS≤2; blood pressure ≤150/100; no venous thromboembolism within prior 6 months. Pts with mCRC must have received prior fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, bevacizumab and anti-EGFR antibody (if KRAS wt). E was administered once daily continuously. T was administered once daily for 3 out of every 4 weeks. The Phase Ib study in pts with any GI malignancy followed a standard 3+3 design with 3 dose levels: (1) E 5 mg/d + T 1 mg/d; (2) E 10 mg/d + T 1 mg/d; (3) E 10 mg/d + T 1.5 mg/d. The Phase II study in pts with mCRC was a non-randomized, one-stage design with a primary endpoint of progression-free survival. Results: Between 02/10-12/10, 12 pts were enrolled to the Phase Ib study. Median age, 60 (39-81) years; male, 50%; ECOG PS 0/1/2, 42/58/0%; tumor types: esophagus 1, colorectal 11 pts. Dose limiting toxicities of grade 3 fatigue and grade 3 fatigue/ dehydration occurred in 2/6 pts on dose level 3. Grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events in ≥10% of pts were dehydration, fatigue, headache, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and hypophosphatemia. The phase II study proceeded at the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of E 10 mg/d and T 1 mg/d. Between 02/11-06/11, 40 pts with mCRC were enrolled to the phase II study. All but 1 pt received prior bevacizumab. Median age, 56 (35-81) years; male, 48%; ECOG PS 0/1/2, 45/53/2%. Treatment is ongoing. Conclusions: Among pts with refractory GI malignancies, the combination of Everolimus + Tivozanib was well-tolerated with MTD of E 10 mg/d and T 1 mg/d. A phase II trial has completed enrollment using these doses of E + T in pts with refractory mCRC; safety and efficacy data will be available for presentation.

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.
