513 Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer and is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in China. No standard care is available for patients with advanced CRC who failed the second-line treatment. Famitinib is a small-molecular, multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor which primarily acts against angiogenesis. This phase II study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of famitinib in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. Methods: This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov Registration No.: NCT01762293). Totally 154 patients with advanced colorectal cancer who failed second or later-line treatments were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either famitinib or placebo at 25 mg each day in each treatment cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), quality of life (QoL) and safety. The statistical analyses of endpoints were using intent-to-treat population. Results: Of 154 patients randomized, the mPFS was 2.8 and 1.5 months in the treatment group and control group, respectively (p=0.0034; HR=0.58). The ORR was 2.02% and 0.00% (p=0.54) and the DCR was 57.58% and 30.91% (p=0.0023) in the treatment group and control group, respectively. Analysis of OS data is ongoing. The frequently reported adverse events (AEs) include neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hypertension, proteinuria, and hand-foot syndrome and were most grade 1/2. The incidences of serious adverse events (SAEs) for the famitinib and placebo groups were 11.11% and 9.09%, respectively (p=0.7884). Overall, famitinib was well tolerated and toxicities were manageable. Conclusions: Famitinib improved the PFS in patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer resulting in higher ORR and DCR in the treatment group with good safety and tolerability. Clinical trial information: NCT01762293.

3589 Background: We planned to conduct a phase II clinical study of combination therapy with irinotecan and S-1, a new oral anticancer drug of the fluorinated pyrimidine type. We reported the interium reports of this study in colorectal cancer patients at GI cancer Symposium 2006. Methods: The antitumor effect was the primary endpoint, while the safety, progression-free survival time, and median survival time were the secondary endpoints. The subjects were untreated patients with inoperable advanced colorectal cancer aged 20–75 years. Irinotecan was administered at a dose of 100 mg/m2 (on days 1 and 15) as an intravenous infusion over 90 minutes, and oral S-1 (40 mg/m2) was administered after breakfast and dinner and then withdrawn for 2 weeks. Results: Forty patients were enrolled in the present study. There were 23 men and 17 women. The median age was 62 years (range: 34 to 74 years). Two patient showed grade 4 neutropenia, but the next course could be given safely after dose reduction. Three patients had grade 3 diarrhea, but therapy could be continued with addition of an antidiarrheal drug. No other serious adverse reactions occurred (either hematological or non-hematological), and all patients could receive therapy safely on an outpatient basis. Interim analysis suggested excellent results, with a response rate of 50%. To date, 231 cycles (median 8, range 1–19) have been administered. Median relative dose intensity was 97% for S-1 and 87% for irinotecan. 36 pts are evaluable for efficacy: RR was 47.2% (95% CI, 30.9–63.5%) and Disease Control Rate (PR + SD) was seen in 94.4% of pts. PFS of this regimen is 320 days. MST is not reached. Conclusions: IRIS therapy achieved a high response rate and could be given safely. These findings suggest that the therapy has potential as first-line treatment for inoperable advanced recurrent colorectal cancer. It seems that IRIS is a good treatment equal to FOLFIRI. In addition, this regimen could qualify as a candidate for future combination therapy with a molecular-targeting drug. The latest data will be reported at the meeting. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Objective. To ascertain the efficacy and safety of Ganji Formulation (GF) for patients with Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who had undergone surgery. Materials and Methods. A total of 262 HCC patients who had undergone liver resection, local ablation, or transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) were divided randomly into the treatment group and control group. The former was treated with GF and the later with placebo, both for 6 months. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Second endpoints were disease-free survival (DFS) or time to disease progression (TTP). Results. OS of the treatment group was significantly longer than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that, for patients who received TACE, the TTP was significantly longer in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). However, for patients who underwent liver resection or local ablation, there was no significant difference in DFS between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion. GF could improve postoperative cumulative survival and prolong the TTP. This clinical trial number is registered with ChiCTR-IOR-15007349.

406 Background: Zibotentan (Z) is an oral specific ETAR antagonist. The ETAR is over expressed in colorectal cancer, and pre-clinically, antagonism of the ETAR has been shown to enhance cytotoxicity when combined with cytotoxics such as 5-FU. This multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II study evaluated the safety and anti-tumor activity of irinotecan and 5-FU (as the FOLFIRI regimen) in combination with Z in advanced colorectal cancer. Methods: Patients (pts) with advanced colorectal cancer who had progressed after oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy (FOLFOX) were randomized (1:1) to receive 10 mg O.D Z/placebo (continuous dosing) with standard dose FOLFIRI for a maximum of 12 cycles. Z /placebo could be continued until progression or unacceptable toxicity in those patients with a documented response. The primary objective was progression–free survival (PFS) with secondary endpoints of safety and blood and archival tumor samples collected for translational work including circulating tumour cell (CTC) analysis. This study was run as part of the AZ/NCRN alliance, endorsed by Cancer Research UK (CRUKE/09/023) and coordinated by the Wales Cancer Trials Unit, Cardiff University. Results: A total of 111 patients were recruited: 61% men, median age of 62 years. Z was well tolerated with G3/4 toxicity balanced between both groups (34/55 patients in Z and 38/56 in placebo group). The study was terminated before the planned number of pts (122) were recruited due to lack of efficacy of the drug in two other tumour types. Median PFS was 4.0 months in the Z group and 7.4 months in the placebo group (HR=1.86, 95% CI 1.20 to 2.87, p=0.005). The CTC analysis in relation to outcome in the placebo group will be presented. Conclusions: Zibotentan does not have anti-cancer activity in combination with FOLFIRI in patients with colorectal cancer treated with previous FOLFOX. Taken in consideration with the other trial data we do not recommend the further development of zibotentan in oncology. Clinical trial information: 73199181.

Objective. Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is a prevalent debilitating consequence of diabetes mellitus with lack of satisfactory therapeutic options. Methylcobalamin (MeCbl) is one of vitamin B12 analogs with known neurotrophic effects. We aimed to determine if MeCbl can relieve PDN. Materials and methods. This was a randomized (1:1) double-blind placebo-controlled trial involving PDN patients. Treatment and control group received daily 12.5 mg oral amitriptyline bid with either 500 µg of intravenous MeCbl or saline injection given on alternating days, respectively, for a 9-consecutive day period. PDN was assessed with douleur neuropathique 4 (DN4) questionnaire. Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) was used to monitor pain intensity and treatment response. All investigators and patients were kept blinded throughout the study period. Outcomes. 42 patients, 21 on each arm had completed the study. The NPRS reduction can already be observed as early as day 2 post-intervention. Both the treatment and control group demonstrated sustained reduction of NPRS by almost one point per each time point of evaluation in the first three days (p<0.001). NPRS reduction remained until the end of the study period. The treatment group had a significantly lower NPRS score by 1.29 than that of the control group during the entire study period (95% CI -1.84 – -0.75; p < 0.001). Treatment group experienced significantly higher NPRS reduction when compared with control (4.19±1.54 vs. 2.1± 0.83; 95% CI 1.32-2.87; p < 0.001), i.e. 62.6% from baseline. Conclusions. MeCbl significantly and safely relieved PDN in a relatively rapid onset.

e15009 Background: To retrospectively analyze the clinical effects and safety of nimotuzumab combined with chemotherapy as the first-line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer (ACRC). Methods: ACRC patients treated by nimotuzumab combined with chemotherapy (40 cases) or chemotherapy alone (44 cases) were enrolled in this study. Responses were evaluated by Respond Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Adverse events were evaluated by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 3.0. Results: The combined treatment group had a slightly higher objective response rate (RR) and disease control rate (DCR) (RR: 55.0% vs 36.4%; DCR: 85.0% vs 75.0%) compared to the chemotherapy alone group, although not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 9.89 months in the combined treatment group and 7.86 months in the chemotherapy alone group, respectively. The median survival time was 22.32 months in the combined therapy group and 18.10 months in the chemotherapy alone group, respectively (P = 0.060). There was no statistically significant difference regarding the adverse events between these two groups. Conclusions: The nimotuzumab combined with chemotherapy had similar efficacy and safety to chemotherapy-alone treatment in ACRC. The efficacy and safety of the combined treatment should be further studied with a randomized multicentre trial with a larger number of ACRC patient.
