728 Background: mFOLFOX6 regimen, which is a standard regimen for metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), is inconvenient owing to its requirement for continuous infusion via vascular access. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of S-1/oxaliplatin (SOX) plus bevacizumab, a promising alternative treatment to replace mFOLFOX6. Methods: We undertook a clinical phase II trial in 12 institutions in Hiroshima, Japan. We enrolled individuals aged 20–80 years who had metastatic CRC, had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (PS) of 0 or 1, had assessable lesions, and had received no previous chemotherapy. Eligible patients were assigned SOX plus bevacizumab (S-1: 80-120 mg/body/day, day 1–14 orally administrated, oxaliplatin: 130mg/m2 day 1 i.v., bevacizumab: 7.5mg/kg day 1 i.v. q3w). The primary endpoint was response rate (RR), and the secondary end points were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results: From May 2011 to January 2014, 55 patients (mean age, 64 years) were enrolled. The number of metastatic organs were one: 29 cases (52.7%), two or more: 25 cases (45.4%), and 2 cases had no target lesions (3.6%). Median follow up time was 12.8 months (range, 1.4-38.6 months). RR was 45.4% (95% CI, 32.2%-58.6%) and disease control rate was 87.3% (95% CI, 78.5-96.1%). Median PFS and OS time were 9.2 months (95% CI, 7.6-10.8) and 22.0 months (95% CI, 17.7-26.2), respectively. The median number of cycles of chemotherapy was 7 (range, 1-16). The median relative dose intensity of oxaliplatin, S-1, and bevacizumab were 85%, 85%, and 87%, respectively. Major toxic effects (grade 3/4) were thrombocytopenia (5.7%), neutropenia (7.5%), sensory neuropathy (13.2%), and anorexia (17.0%). Conclusions: These data indicated that the SOX plus bevacizumab regimen is effective and well tolerated in patients with metastatic CRC. Clinical trial information: UMIN000004976.

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.

For patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) that have failed a first-line oxaliplatin-based regimen, the preferred treatment option is an irinotecan-based regimen. This prospective, observational, noncomparative, post-authorization safety study (OZONE) evaluated the safety and effectiveness of aflibercept plus fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) in patients with mCRC treated in daily practice after failure of an oxaliplatin-based regimen. Patients were grouped by age, renal impairment, hepatic impairment, race, number, and type of prior anticancer therapy. Of 766 treated patients enrolled, 59.5% were male, 94.8% had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0–1, all received previous chemotherapy (97.8% including oxaliplatin), and 58.6% had prior exposure to bevacizumab. At least one grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was reported in 68.3% of patients. Neutropenia, hypertension, diarrhea, and asthenia were the most frequently occurring grade ≥ 3 TEAEs. Antivascular endothelial growth factor class events were infrequent. Subgroup analyses did not reveal major differences in the safety profile according to age, renal and hepatic status, race, or prior anticancer therapy. For the total population, median overall survival was 12.5 months, median progression-free survival was 6.1 months, and overall response rate was 16.3%. Aflibercept in combination with FOLFIRI is a safe and efficacious regimen administered in current clinical practice to patients with mCRC previously treated with oxaliplatin. The study results, conducted in real-world clinical practice with a less selected patient population, are aligned with the VELOUR (NCT00561470) trial and no new safety issues were identified.

3573 Background: The phase III VELOUR study demonstrated that adding the novel antiangiogenic agent ziv-aflibercept (known as aflibercept outside the United States) to FOLFIRI in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer previously treated with oxaliplatin significantly improved overall survival, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall response rate vs placebo/FOLFIRI. We performed an additional analysis of PFS “on-treatment,” censoring events that occurred more than 28 days after last treatment dose. Methods: Patients were randomized to receive ziv-aflibercept 4 mg/kg or placebo every 2 weeks in combination with FOLFIRI. An independent review committee determined progression based on radiologic review. PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis, with censoring of events after the last dose plus 28 days. Treatment groups were compared using a log-rank test and were stratified by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status and prior bevacizumab therapy. Hazard ratio (HR) and confidence interval (CI) were estimated using a Cox proportional hazard model. Results: On-treatment analysis showed significantly increased PFS for patients treated with ziv-aflibercept/FOLFIRI compared with placebo/FOLFIRI (Table). More patients were censored in the ziv-aflibercept arm due to adverse events. Conclusions: The on-treatment PFS analysis demonstrates a significantly improved treatment effect of the addition of ziv-aflibercept to FOLFIRI (HR=0.55) over what was observed in the primary analysis suggesting that continuing treatment with ziv-aflibercept up to disease progression provides additional benefit.

Purpose Elderly patients constitute a subpopulation with special characteristics that differ from those of the nonelderly and have been underrepresented in clinical trials. This study was performed to determine the efficacy and safety of irinotecan (CPT-11) in combination with fluorouracil (FU) administered as a 48-hour continuous infusion twice a month in elderly patients. Patients and Methods Patients ≥ 72 years old with metastatic colorectal cancer, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 1, no geriatric syndromes, and no prior treatment were treated every 2 weeks with CPT-11 180 mg/m2 plus FU 3,000 mg/m2 in a 48-hour continuous infusion. Results By intent-to-treat analysis, in 85 assessable patients, the objective response rate was 35% (95% CI, 25% to 46%), and stable disease was 33% (95% CI, 23% to 44%). Median time to progression was 8.0 months (95% CI, 6.0 to 10.0 months), and median overall survival time was 15.3 months (95% CI, 13.8 to 16.9 months). Toxicity was moderate. Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia, diarrhea, and asthenia were observed in 21%, 17%, and 13% of patients, respectively. Only one case of neutropenic fever occurred. There were two toxic deaths, one was a result of grade 4 diarrhea and acute kidney failure, and the other was a result of massive intestinal hemorrhage in the first cycle. The study of prognostic factors did not reveal any predictive factor of response. Response to treatment and baseline lactate dehydrogenase were the main factors conditioning progression-free and overall survival. Conclusion Twice a month continuous-infusion CPT-11 combined with FU is a valid therapeutic alternative for elderly patients in good general condition.

752 Background: Elderly patients (≥65 yrs) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) are more likely to have comorbid conditions than younger patients ( < 65 yrs), limiting their therapeutic options. As previously reported (Mayer et al. J Clin Oncol 2017;35:abs 3559), FTD/TPI confirmed its clinical profile in mCRC in a real-world setting. Here, we report the safety and tolerability profile of FTD/TPI from the expanded-access program (EAP) in patients aged ≥65 yrs. Methods: Patients (≥18 yrs) with mCRC following ≥2 regimens of anticancer therapy and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 were enrolled to this open-label EAP. Patients received FTD/TPI 35 mg/m2 twice daily for 5 days followed by 2 days’ rest for 2 weeks, with a 14-day rest period (28-day treatment cycle). Data were collected for therapy duration, treatment discontinuation, and adverse events (AEs). Results: Of 549 patients, 377 (68.7%) were aged < 65 and 172 (31.3%) were ≥65. The treatment duration of FTD/TPI was similar between < 65 and ≥65 yrs (Table). A lower proportion of those aged ≥65 had fatigue and nausea compared with < 65 (Table). However, the frequency of neutropenia and diarrhea was slightly increased in those ≥65 compared with < 65 (Table). One patient (0.6%) in the ≥65 group developed febrile neutropenia compared with 9 (2.4%) in the < 65 group, with no associated deaths in either group. Conclusions: This analysis from the EAP showed that the safety profile and treatment duration of FTD/TPI in patients aged ≥65 with mCRC were similar to those in patients aged < 65. FTD/TPI is well tolerated and can be considered in patients aged ≥65 with mCRC. Clinical trial information: NCT-02286492. [Table: see text]

Purpose Panitumumab, a fully human anti–epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody that improves progression-free survival (PFS), is approved as monotherapy for patients with chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The Panitumumab Randomized Trial in Combination With Chemotherapy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer to Determine Efficacy (PRIME) was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of panitumumab plus infusional fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX4) versus FOLFOX4 alone as initial treatment for mCRC. Patients and Methods In this multicenter, phase III trial, patients with no prior chemotherapy for mCRC, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2, and available tissue for biomarker testing were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive panitumumab-FOLFOX4 versus FOLFOX4. The primary end point was PFS; overall survival (OS) was a secondary end point. Results were prospectively analyzed on an intent-to-treat basis by tumor KRAS status. Results KRAS results were available for 93% of the 1,183 patients randomly assigned. In the wild-type (WT) KRAS stratum, panitumumab-FOLFOX4 significantly improved PFS compared with FOLFOX4 (median PFS, 9.6 v 8.0 months, respectively; hazard ratio [HR], 0.80; 95% CI, 0.66 to 0.97; P = .02). A nonsignificant increase in OS was also observed for panitumumab-FOLFOX4 versus FOLFOX4 (median OS, 23.9 v 19.7 months, respectively; HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.67 to 1.02; P = .072). In the mutant KRAS stratum, PFS was significantly reduced in the panitumumab-FOLFOX4 arm versus the FOLFOX4 arm (HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.62; P = .02), and median OS was 15.5 months versus 19.3 months, respectively (HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 0.98 to 1.57; P = .068). Adverse event rates were generally comparable across arms with the exception of toxicities known to be associated with anti-EGFR therapy. Conclusion This study demonstrated that panitumumab-FOLFOX4 was well tolerated and significantly improved PFS in patients with WT KRAS tumors and underscores the importance of KRAS testing for patients with mCRC.

This trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of panitumumab plus fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) compared with FOLFIRI alone after failure of initial treatment for mCRC by tumor KRAS status.Patients and MethodsPatients with mCRC, one prior chemotherapy regimen for mCRC, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 to 2, and available tumor tissue for biomarker testing were randomly assigned 1:1 to panitumumab 6.0 mg/kg plus FOLFIRI versus FOLFIRI every 2 weeks. The coprimary end points of PFS and overall survival (OS) were independently tested and prospectively analyzed by KRAS status.ResultsFrom June 2006 to March 2008, 1,186 patients were randomly assigned 1:1 and received treatment. KRAS status was available for 91% of patients: 597 (55%) with wild-type (WT) KRAS tumors, and 486 (45%) with mutant (MT) KRAS tumors. In the WT KRAS subpopulation, when panitumumab was added to chemotherapy, a significant improvement in PFS was observed (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.73; 95% CI, 0.59 to 0.90; P = .004); median PFS was 5.9 months for panitumumab-FOLFIRI versus 3.9 months for FOLFIRI. A nonsignificant trend toward increased OS was observed; median OS was 14.5 months versus 12.5 months, respectively (HR = 0.85, 95% CI, 0.70 to 1.04; P = .12); response rate was improved to 35% versus 10% with the addition of panitumumab. In patients with MT KRAS, there was no difference in efficacy. Adverse event rates were generally comparable across arms with the exception of known toxicities associated with anti-EGFR therapy.ConclusionPanitumumab plus FOLFIRI significantly improved PFS and is well-tolerated as second-line treatment in patients with WT KRAS mCRC.

Abstract Background The chemotherapy triplet FOLFOXIRI combined to the anti-VEGF antibody bevacizumab is an option in selected patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. In this setting, RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer do not benefit the same from treatment than RAS-wildtype metastatic colorectal cancer do. Together with its antiangiogenic properties, the tyrosine-kinase inhibitor regorafenib has also anti-proliferative activities whatever the RAS status is. The present trial aims at studying the safety and the efficacy of regorafenib in combination with FOLFIRINOX – a chemotherapy triplet using a different dosing schedule than FOLFOXIRI - in patients with RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods FOLFIRINOX-R is a prospective, multicentric, non-randomised, dose-finding phase 1–2 trial. The primary endpoints are the determination of the maximum tolerated dose, the recommended phase 2 dose, and the proportion of patients achieving disease control at 48-weeks. Phase 1 follows a 3 + 3 design (12 to 24 patients to be included). Sixty nine patients will be necessary in phase 2, including 5% non-evaluable ones, with the following assumptions, one-stage Fleming design, α = 5%, β = 20%, p0 = 35% and p1 = 50%. Key eligibility criteria include Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of ≤1 and RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer not amenable to surgery with curative intent and not previously treated for metastatic disease. FOLFIRINOX (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, folinic acid 400 mg/m2, irinotecan 150–180 mg/m2, 5-fluorouracil: 400 mg/m2 then 2400 mg/m2 over 46 h) is administered every 14 days. Regorafenib (80 to 160 mg, as per dose-level) is administered orally, once daily on days 4 to 10 of each cycle. Discussion FOLFIRINOX-R is the first phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of regorafenib in combination with FOLFIRINOX as frontline therapy for patients with RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer. Trial registration EudraCT: 2018-003541-42; ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03828799.

PURPOSE: To compare a short intensified regimen followed by sequential consolidation therapy (doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vindesine, bleomycin, and prednisone [ACVBP]) to the standard regimen of methotrexate, bleomycin, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide (m-BACOD) in patients with low-risk aggressive lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 752 patients with intermediate- or high-grade lymphoma and no adverse prognostic factors (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 2 to 4, ≥ two extranodal sites of disease, tumor burden ≥ 10 cm in largest dimension, bone marrow or CNS involvement, Burkitt’s or lymphoblastic subtypes) were registered. Of 673 eligible patients, 332 received ACVBP and 341 received m-BACOD. RESULTS: The complete remission rate was identical (86%) in the two groups. With a median follow-up duration of 7 years, the 5-year failure-free survival (FFS) rate was 65% in the ACVBP group and 61% in the m-BACOD group (P = .16). The 5-year overall survival rate was 75% in the ACVBP group and 73% in the m-BACOD group (P = .47). ACVBP was responsible for more severe and life-threatening infections (P < .01), but m-BACOD caused more pulmonary toxicity (P < .001). The number of treatment-related deaths did not differ between the two regimens. A multivariate analysis indicated that ACVBP was associated with a longer FFS in patients with two or three risk factors of the International Prognostic Index. CONCLUSION: In this population of patients with low-risk aggressive lymphoma, toxicities of the regimens are different, but the rates of response and survival are identical. The survival advantage of ACVBP over standard regimen in patients with advanced disease is suggested by this analysis but remains to be assessed in prospective studies specifically designed for this purpose.

Background5-Fluorouracil plus irinotecan or oxaliplatin alone or in association with target therapy are standard first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1/PD-L1 demonstrated efficacy on mCRC with microsatellite instability but remain ineffective alone in microsatellite stable tumour. 5-Fluorouracil and oxaliplatin were known to present immunogenic properties. Durvalumab (D) is a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) that inhibits binding of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) to its receptor. Tremelimumab (T) is a mAb directed against the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4). This study is designed to evaluate whether the addition of PD-L1 and CTLA-4 inhibition to oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and leucovorin (FOLFOX) increases treatment efficacy.MethodsThis phase II study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03202758) will assess the efficacy and safety of FOLFOX/D/T association in patients with mCRC (n=48). Good performance status patients (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group <2) with untreated, RAS mutational status mCRC will be eligible. Prior adjuvant therapy is allowed provided recurrence is >6 months postcompletion. There is a safety lead in nine patients receiving FOLFOX/D/T. Assuming no safety concerns the study will go on to include 39 additional patients. Patients will receive folinic acid (400 mg/m²)/5-fluorouracil (400 mg/m² as bolus followed by 2400 mg/m2 as a 46-hour infusion)/oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2) every 14 days with D (750 mg) D1 every 14 days and T (75 mg) D1 every 28 days. After six cycles of FOLFOX only D/T will continue until disease progression, death, intolerable toxicity, or patient/investigator decision to stop. Primary endpoint is safety and efficacy according to progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints include overall response rate and quality of life. Hypothesis is that a PFS of 50% at 6 months is insufficient and a PFS of 70.7% is expected (with α=10%, β=10%). Blood, plasma and tumour tissue will be collected and assessed for potential prognostic and predictive biomarkers.
