556 Background: Liver dysfunction is one of the irritating adverse effects in chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. Polymorphisms of UGTIA1, which is related to metabolism of CPT-11 in the liver, cause severe adverse events. In addition, long-term induction of CPT-11 may involve steatohepatitis. Thus, it is critical to surrogate liver dysfunction in chemotherapy including CPT-11. In this current study, we evaluated whether NAHLD fibrosis score (NFS) which is liver fibrosis marker of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, is feasible for predicting the effects and adverse events of chemotherapy including CPT-11 for colorectal cancer. Methods: From January 2007 to May 2013, of 118 patients who were diagnosed with unresectable advanced/recurrent colorectal cancer in our hospital, we retrospectively analyzed 89 patients who underwent first line chemotherapy including CPT-11. We statistically analyzed the value of the pretreatment NFS on response rate (RR), progression-free survival (PFS), and hematologic or non-hematologic toxicity of chemotherapy including CPT-11. Results: The median NFS was -1.302 (range=-5.158 to 2.62). Multivariate analysis revealed that NFS was an independent negative predictive marker for RR (coef -0.373 (-0.712 to -0.035), p = 0.031), although no contribution of NFS was observed to PFS (coef 0.958(0.786|1.168), p=0.672). In terms of the adverse events, high value of NFS is an independent risk factor in hematological toxicity (coef 0.93 (0.20 to 1.65), p = 0.012), while not in non-hematological toxicity (coef 0.198 (-0.218|0.613), p=0.351). Conclusions: The pretreatment NFS might be a feasible for predicting response and hematological toxicity in first line chemotherapy including CPT-11 against colorectal cancer.

4069 Background: The survival benefit of using a combination therapy instead of keeping it for a second line (L2) has not been demonstrated in metastatic colorectal cancer. The purpose of this trial was to compare the efficacy of simplified LV5FU2 (s) followed by FOLFOX6 (arm A) to FOLFOX6 followed by FOLFIRI (arm B) on progression-free survival after two lines of chemotherapy. We present here preliminary results relating to toxicity, observance and overall survival. Methods: Inclusion criteria: a) non resectable metastases of histologically proven colorectal adenocarcinoma , b) evaluable disease (WHO criteria), c) absence of previous chemotherapy other than adjuvant. Treatment was as follows: LV5FU2s = at day 1, folinic acid 400 mg/m2, 5-FU bolus 400 mg/m2 and continuous infusion over 46 hours 2,400 mg/m2/2 weeks; FOLFOX6 = LV5FU2s + oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 at day 1; FOLFIRI = LV5FU2s + irinotecan 180 mg/m2 at day 1. Results: 410 pts out of 570 initially planned (early stopping due to slow accrual and new treatments) were included from 02/2002 to 02/2006 (205 in each arm). Median follow-up was 25 months. The median number (range) of cycles (28 days) in first line (L1) was respectively 5 (1–24) and 6 (1–24) in the arms A and B (p=0.01), and for L2 (152 and 144 pts in the arms A/B): 5 (1–17) and 3 (1–33) (NS). In the arms A and B, 74% and 70% of pts had L2. L1 was stopped for toxicity for 1% and 16% of the pts in arms A and B (p<0.0001); L2 respectively for 15% and 2% pts (p<0.0001). The percentages of pts presenting at least a grade 3–4 hematologic toxicity (mainly neutropenia) by arm were: 6% versus 37% (p<0.0001) for L1 and 30% versus 27% (NS) for L2; grade 3–4 non hematological toxicity (grade 2–4 neurotoxicity): 26% (1%) versus 56% (64%)(p<0.0001; p<0.0001) for L1 and 54% (60%) versus 46% (40%) of the pts for L2 (NS; p<0.01). No toxic death was observed in the arm A against 5 in the arm B: 3 in L1 and 2 in L2. Overall survival medians were 17 and 16 months in arms A/B (logrank p=0.64) (preliminary results, 291 observed deaths). Conclusions: This trial does not show any substantial difference in treatment duration and overall survival between both arms and shows a more important toxicity in the arm with first line combined chemotherapy. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

BackgroundTesticular sex cord stromal tumours (TSCSTs) are rare, with few studies focusing on the metastatic TSCST prognosis. The value of treatments, including radical orchiectomy (RO) and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND), in preventing metastasis is controversial. Additionally, metastatic TSCSTs are resistant to chemotherapy. We aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of immunotherapy in metastatic TSCSTs after first-line chemotherapy.MethodsWe retrospectively screened patients with testicular tumours undergoing testis surgery between January 2005 and January 2019. Patients with TSCSTs who had undergone testis-sparing surgery (TSS) or RO were identified. The malignant type was defined as metastasis confirmed by pathology. Treatment responses, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety were analysed.ResultsAmong the 494 testicular tumour patients who received TSS or RO, 11 (2.2%) patients with histologically proven TSCSTs were identified. At the last follow-up, 7 patients survived without tumours, and 4 patients developed metastasis and received first-line cisplatin-based chemotherapy, with 1 of them achieving an objective response. Their PFS times were 1.5, 2.2, 9.0, and 17.0 months, respectively. Two patients received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) after developing chemotherapy resistance and achieved a partial response up to the last follow-up; one of them experienced Grade 1 adverse events, and the other experienced Grade 2 adverse events during immunotherapy. The median OS time of the 4 patients with metastatic TSCSTs was 32 months.ConclusionsTSCSTs are rare, and most are benign with a good prognosis. ICIs represent a promising option for improving clinical outcomes in metastatic TSCSTs.

PurposePazopanib is an oral, multikinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) -1/-2/-3, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) -α/-β, and c-Kit. Preclinical and clinical studies support VEGFR and PDGFR as targets for advanced ovarian cancer treatment. This study evaluated the role of pazopanib maintenance therapy in patients with ovarian cancer whose disease did not progress during first-line chemotherapy.Patients and MethodsNine hundred forty patients with histologically confirmed cancer of the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum, International Federation Gynecology Obstetrics (FIGO) stages II-IV, no evidence of progression after primary therapy consisting of surgery and at least five cycles of platinum-taxane chemotherapy were randomized 1:1 to receive pazopanib 800 mg once per day or placebo for up to 24 months. The primary end point was progression-free survival by RECIST 1.0 assessed by the investigators.ResultsMaintenance pazopanib prolonged progression-free survival compared with placebo (hazard ratio [HR], 0.77; 95% CI, 0.64 to 0.91; P = .0021; median, 17.9 v 12.3 months, respectively). Interim survival analysis based on events in 35.6% of the population did not show any significant difference. Grade 3 or 4 adverse events of hypertension (30.8%), neutropenia (9.9%), liver-related toxicity (9.4%), diarrhea (8.2%), fatigue (2.7%), thrombocytopenia (2.5%), and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (1.9%) were significantly higher in the pazopanib arm. Treatment discontinuation related to adverse events was higher among patients treated with pazopanib (33.3%) compared with placebo (5.6%).ConclusionPazopanib maintenance therapy provided a median improvement of 5.6 months (HR, 0.77) in progression-free survival in patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have not progressed after first-line chemotherapy. Overall survival data to this point did not suggest any benefit. Additional analysis should help to identify subgroups of patients in whom improved efficacy may balance toxicity (NCT00866697).

Purpose The aim was to investigate whether germline polymorphisms within candidate genes known or suspected to be involved in fluorouracil (FU), oxaliplatin, and irinotecan pathways were associated with toxicity and clinical outcome in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Patients and Methods Blood samples from 349 patients included in the Fédération Francophone de Cancérologie Digestive 2000-05 randomized trial, which compared FU plus leucovorin (LV5FU2) followed by FU, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) followed by FU, leucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI; sequential arm) with FOLFOX followed by FOLFIRI (combination arm) in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival, were collected. Twenty polymorphisms within the DPD, TS, MTHFR, ERCC1, ERCC2, GSTP1, GSTM1, GSTT1, and UGT1A1 genes were genotyped. Results The ERCC2-K751QC allele was independently associated with an increased risk of FOLFOX-induced grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicity (P = .01). In the sequential arm, TS-5′UTR3RG and GSTT1 alleles were independently associated with response to LV5FU2 (P = .009) and FOLFOX (P = .01), respectively. The effect of oxaliplatin on tumor response increased with the number of MTHFR-1298C alleles (test for trend, P = .008). The PFS benefit from first-line FOLFOX was restricted to patients with 2R/2R (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.39; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.68) or 2R/3R (HR = 0.59; 95% CI, 0.42 to 0.82) TS-5′UTR genotypes, respectively. Conversely, patients with the TS-5′UTR 3R/3R genotype did not seem to benefit from the adjunction of oxaliplatin (HR = 0.96; 95% CI, 0.66 to 1.40; trend between the three HRs, P = .006). Conclusion A pharmacogenetic approach may be a useful strategy for personalizing and optimizing chemotherapy in mCRC patients and deserves confirmation in additional prospective studies.

684 Background: Bevacizumab (BV) is widely used in first-line chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer in Japan, but the use of beyond bevacizumab first progression (BBP) has been controversial yet. Methods: Of patients treated with first-line BV in our retrospective cohort study (HGCSG0801), patients treated with BBP (n=22) and those without BBP ( n=19) in second-line setting were analyzed. The National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 was used to assess adverse events. The Response Evaluation in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.0 was used to assess tumor response. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to determine PFS and OS. Log-rank test was used to compare each group in terms of PFS and OS. All statistical tests were performed using SPSS. Results: PS (0/1/2) before second line chemotherapy was 18/3/1 in BBP and 10/8/1 in NBBP, respectively. In the safety analysis, five patients in BBP showed a worsening/newer hypertension, which wasn’t a clinical problem. In the efficacy analysis, the response rate was 22.8% in BBP and 0% in NBBP. The median PFS was better in BBP (6.7 months in BBP and 2.7 months in NBBP), but there was no significant difference in median OS from first BV administration between two groups (27.3 months in BBP and 22.2 months in NBBP). Conclusions: We analyzed BBP in daily practice in Japan. Adverse events were well tolerated, but survival advantage of BBP was not suggested. About the efficacy of BBP, we are waiting the results of ongoing Phase III trials.

665 Background: Clinical trials support the addition of bevacizumab (Bev) to first line chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, given that there are alternate biological agents that can be used with chemotherapy; and rare but potentially serious toxicities with Bev, there has been variable use of the drug in routine care. The purpose of this study was to prospectively explore 1st line use of Bev in routine clinical care. Methods: A multi-site data collection was initiated in July 2009 when Bev became publicly available in Australia. A particular focus was capturing information regarding clinician decision-making that is not routinely recorded or is often poorly documented. Comprehensive comorbidity data was collected, along with specific factors, both patient (pt) and disease-related, that may impact on treatment decisions. Major adverse events that may be related to Bev were also recorded. Results: For the 2-year period from July 2009-June 2011, a database search identified 278 pts diagnosed with mCRC at five participating hospitals. 240 pts (86%) had received 1st line chemotherapy. 102 (43%) also received Bev, the majority in combination with oxaliplatin based chemotherapy (n = 81, 79%). Bev use increased significantly from 40.4% (34/84) of all pts receiving chemotherapy in July-December 2009, to 65.8% (25/38) in January-June 2011 (p=0.0114). Overall the most frequent reasons for clinicians advising against the use of Bev were a bleeding or asymptomatic primary in situ (n=28, 23%), known hypertension (n=14, 11%), clinical trial participation (n=14, 11%), poor performance status (n=9, 7%), and perceived risk of arterial ischemic event (n=8, 6.5%). There have been four episodes of gastro-intestinal perforation, 3 in pts receiving Bev (2.9% of Bev treated patients). Conclusions: Bev use in first line mCRC has significantly increased over time, presumably as further positive safety data emerges regarding safety in older and frailer pts, and clinician prescribing experience increases. The major grounds for not using Bev in the 1st line mCRC setting were specific clinical contexts where the risk of adverse events may be increased.

PurposeColorectal cancer (CRC) occurs predominantly in older persons. To provide more statistical power to assess risk/benefit in older patients, we examined the clinical benefit of bevacizumab (BV) plus fluorouracil-based chemotherapy in first-line metastatic CRC (mCRC) treatment in patients aged ≥ 65 years, using data pooled from two placebo-controlled studies.Patients and MethodsPooled efficacy data for 439 patients ≥ 65 years old randomized to BV plus chemotherapy (n = 218) or placebo plus chemotherapy (n = 221) in study 1 and study 2 were retrospectively analyzed on an intent-to-treat basis for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response. Safety analysis was based on reports of targeted adverse events in treated patients.ResultsMedian OS with BV plus chemotherapy was 19.3 v 14.3 months with placebo plus chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.70; 95% CI, 0.55 to 0.90; P = .006). Patients treated with BV plus chemotherapy had a median PFS of 9.2 v 6.2 months for placebo plus chemotherapy patients (HR = 0.52; 95% CI, 0.40 to 0.67; P < .0001). The objective response rate was 34.4% with BV plus chemotherapy versus 29.0% with placebo plus chemotherapy (difference not statistically significant). Rates of BV-associated adverse events in the pooled BV plus chemotherapy group were consistent with those reported in the overall populations for the two studies.ConclusionAnalysis of pooled patient cohorts age ≥ 65 years from two similar trials in mCRC indicates that adding bevacizumab to fluorouracil-based chemotherapy improved OS and PFS, similar to the benefits in younger patients. Also, the risks of treatment do not seem to exceed those in younger patients with mCRC.

Abstract Background Large scale randomized trials have demonstrated that bevacizumab in addition to chemotherapy as first-line or second-line treatment has significant survival benefits. We aim to explore the clinical impact of bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy in first-line or second-line in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods The medical records of patients with CRC who received bevacizumab at first or second-line of treatment were collected retrospectively. The primary outcome of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy by survival endpoints i.e. overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) and the secondary outcome was to evaluate its safety by incidence of adverse events (AE). Results Fifty-one patients with CRC had met the selection criteria for treatment with bevacizumab to either cetuximab or FOLFOX or both. The median age was 54 years. During follow-up, ten patients had exhibited progression after treatment while 5 patients died. The median OS and PFS of the overall population were not reached. The Cox proportional regression analysis revealed no significant prognostic factors of OS and PFS for treatment with bevacizumab in various demographic subgroups. The 1-year PFS rates of all 51 patients was 76%. The 1-year and 3-year OS rates for all 51 patients were 95% and 88%, respectively. Toxicities were usually mild in nature, with nausea, vomiting, hand and foot syndrome, neutropenia, asthenia and palpitation being the commonly reported adverse events. Conclusion In this real-world setting, the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy is limited and further research is warranted as to whether bevacizumab with chemotherapy is an optimal treatment as first-line or second-line therapy in Chinese CRC patients.

e14166 Background: Bevacizumab (Bev) induced hypertension (HTN) may be a predictive biomarker of anti-tumor activity in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) . We retrospectively assessed if significant rise in blood pressure (SRBP) [ ≥ 20 mmHg ] or any grade of HTN within first 10 weeks of treatment with bev is associated with improved clinical outcomes. Methods: Retrospective review of all mCRC patients, on or off clinical trial, treated with first line chemotherapy plus Bev (5 mg/kg Q2W or 7.5 mg/kg Q3W) at our institution from 2005-2010 was conducted .BP was measured before each treatment and graded according to CTCAE version 3.0.The median follow-up time of eligible patients was 19.6 months. Results: Of 50 patients eligible for the analysis, 20 patients (40%) developed significant rise in BP or HTN (SRH) whereas 30 patients had no change (NRH). There were no statistical differences between the two groups with respect to age, gender, ECOG status, number of sites of metastases, pre-existing HTN (55% SRH,37% NRH ; P=0.251) and first line chemotherapy regimen. Chemotherapy regimens used in SRH and NRH groups were 5-Fluoropyrimidine based (25% vs 23.3%), irinotecan based (40% vs. 36.7%) and oxaliplatin based (35% vs 30%). Four patients (20%) in the SRH group developed SRBP and other patients in this group developed G1-G3 HTN according to CTCAE v3.0.SRH group had improved median progression free survival (15.8 vs 6.2 months ; p<0.001) and overall survival (25.9 vs. 16 months; p=0.005). Overall response rate was higher in the SRH group (75% vs 26.7%; p=0.001). Conclusions: SRH developing within 10 weeks of commencing first line chemotherapy with bev correlates with improved outcomes in mCRC. These data need confirmation in prospective studies.
