637 Background: In patients (pts) with liver-limited metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), surgical resection or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can lead to a significant overall survival benefit. Specialist hepato-biliary (HPB) multidisciplinary meetings (MDMs) are currently believed to provide the best forum to discuss this cohort of pts and assess their suitability for surgery or RFA. Methods: A retrospective analysis was undertaken of pts diagnosed with liver-limited mCRC over a period of 6 months within a specified cancer network in the United Kingdom. In addition to discussed cases, pts who were diagnosed but not referred to the HPB MDM were also discussed within the MDM setting. For these pts, contributors were blinded and decisions were made regarding resectability and appropriateness for RFA based on patient imaging and clinical history. Results: In a six month period, 159 pts were diagnosed with liver-limited mCRC within our cancer network. Of these, 68 (43%) were referred at the time of initial diagnosis, with a further 38 (24%) referred after commencing systemic treatment. 35 (56%) who were discussed at the time of their original diagnosis went on to have either a hepatectomy or RFA, as did 18 (51%) patients referred after initiating systemic treatment. 81 pts (78%) referred to the HPB MDM had synchronous liver metastases. Of the remaining 53 (33%) patients who were not referred to the HPB MDM, the average age was 70.2 years and 38 (86%) had synchronous liver metastases. Imaging was available for 31 (58%) of these pts. Decisions regarding resectability or RFA were made within the MDM based solely on history and radiology findings. Of these cases, 13 (41.9%) were identified as resectable or potentially resectable and 11 (35.5%) may have been suitable for a clinical trial. None of these 31 pts (100%) had hepatic surgery or RFA. Conclusions: Whilst the majority of pts with liver-limited mCRC were referred appropriately, this study highlights that a number of pts with potentially resectable disease are not being discussed at a specialist HPB MDM. A review of all diagnosed cases would ensure that an increased number of pts are offered hepatic resection or RFA.

Liver metastases are commonly encountered in patients presenting with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC); resection is the treatment of choice. A number of systemic treatment options are currently available for such patients, including the use of 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapies and oxaliplatin (e.g., FOLFOX) in combination with biologic agents that target angiogenesis (e.g., bevacizumab). For patients with progression following first-line treatment, current second-line options include a change in chemotherapy with bevacizumab (for patients who did or did not receive prior bevacizumab) or FOLFIRI in combination with aflibercept, a more recently approved antiangiogenesis therapy. Neurotoxicity is a well-established adverse event of oxaliplatin-based therapy. The current case details an mCRC patient with liver metastases who was treated with a capecitabine and oxaliplatin regimen (XELOX), and experienced two episodes of transient cortical blindness possibly related to oxaliplatin. After disease progression, the patient was switched to a regimen of FOLFIRI and aflibercept and did well on this second-line regimen.

In the UK, Trifluridine-tipiracil (Lonsurf) is used to treat metastatic colorectal cancer in the third-line setting, after prior exposure to fluoropyrimidine-based regimes. Current data on the real-world use of Lonsurf lack long-term follow-up data. A retrospective evaluation of patients receiving Lonsurf at our Cancer Centre in 2016–2017 was performed, all with a minimum of two-year follow-up. Fifty-six patients were included in the review. The median number of cycles of Lonsurf administered was 3. Median follow-up was 6.0 months, with all patients deceased at the time of analysis. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.2 months, and overall survival (OS) was 5.8 months. The median interval from Lonsurf discontinuation to death was two months, but seven patients received further systemic treatment and median OS gained was 12 months. Lonsurf offered a slightly better PFS but inferior OS to that of the RECOURSE trial, with PFS similar to real-world data previously presented. Interestingly, 12.5% had a PFS > 9 months, and this cohort had primarily left-sided and RAS wild-type disease. A subset received further systemic treatment on Lonsurf discontinuation with good additional OS benefit. Lonsurf may alter the course of disease for a subset of patients, and further treatment on progression can be considered in carefully selected patients.

e15585 Background: A previous phase 1b trial has shown encouraging efficacy of regorafenib plus nivolumab in patients with microsatellite stable/mismatch repair proficient (MSS/pMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this regimen in Chinese patients in the real world. Methods: We retrospectively identified patients with MSS/pMMR mCRC who received at least one dose of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors plus regorafenib from 5/2019 to 2/2021 in 10 Chinese medical centers. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and the safety. Results: Fifty-two patients were identified. Liver metastases were presented in 35 patients (67%). A total of 48 patients (92%) received regorafenib plus a PD-1 inhibitor as the third or later line treatment. At the data cut-off, 11 patients (21%) were still on treatment. Other patients terminated treatment because of progressive disease (45%), treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) (14%) or treatment-unrelated deaths (6%). The median treatment cycle was 3 (range, 1-18). At a median follow-up of 4.9 months, the median OS was 17.3 months (95% CI, 10.2-NR) and the median PFS was 3.1 months (95%CI, 2.5-6.0). Baseline liver metastases were associated with inferior PFS (2.7 versus 6.3 months, p <0.05), but not OS (17.3 months versus NR, p =0.6). Among 38 patients evaluable for response, two patients (5%) achieved partial response, and 17 patients (45%) experienced stable disease as the best response. The DCR was 50% (95%CI, 5.0-NR) and was similar among different PD-1 inhibitors (Table). TRAEs were observed in 30 patients (58%). Fatigue (21%), hand-foot syndrome (19%) and rash (13%) were the most common TRAEs. Eight patients (15%) experienced grade 3-4 TRAEs, including rash (n=3), hand-foot syndrome (n=2), hypertension (n=1), myocardial enzyme elevation (n=1) and visual field loss (n=1). No treatment-related death occurred. Conclusions: The combination of regorafenib plus PD-1 inhibitors was generally tolerated and exhibited potential benefit in terms of OS and DCR. The presence of baseline liver metastases was predictive for shorter PFS but requires further investigation. Disease control rate of different PD-1 inhibitors.[Table: see text]
