TPS3623 Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy is the current standard treatment for stage III colorectal cancer after curative resection. However, the prognosis of stage III colorectal cancer is still poor even after curative resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. Recently, several observational studies suggested the anti-tumor effect of aspirin for advanced colorectal cancer. The main mechanism of the anti-tumor effect by aspirin may be to suppress cyclooxygenase activity in the arachidonic acid cascade and to inhibit the production of prostaglandins involved in tumor growth. So far, aspirin showed a prolongation of survival for colorectal cancer in several retrospective studies. However, in these studies, aspirin was given not to be evaluated the effect on prognosis of colorectal cancer in adjuvant setting but to prevent cardiovascular event. In addition, baseline patient characteristics were imbalanced between aspirin group and non-aspirin group and both dosage amount and dosing period of aspirin were different among patients. Methods: We planned a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled phase III trial commenced in Japan in March 2018 to confirm the superiority of aspirin in terms of disease-free survival (DFS) over placebo for stage III colorectal cancer patients after curative resection. Patients receive aspirin (100 mg/day) or placebo for 3 years with the standard adjuvant chemotherapy of mFOLFOX6, CAPOX or capecitabine until relapse or unacceptable toxicities. The primary endpoint is DFS and the secondary endpoints are overall survival, relapse-free survival, relative dose intensity, adverse events, and serious adverse events. We assumed the 3-year DFS of aspirin arm as 74% based on two previous trials conducted by JCOG and expected a 6% increase in the 3-year DFS with aspirin adding to standard adjuvant chemotherapy after curative surgery. A total of 880 patients will be accrued from 20 Japanese institutions within 3 years, and 47 patients were enrolled as of Jan 31, 2019. Both aspirin and placebo are provided by Bayer Yakuhin Ltd. This trial has been registered at Japan Registry of Clinical Trials as jRCTs031180009 (https://jrct.niph.go.jp/detail/589). Clinical trial information: jRCTs031180009.

TPS5095 Background: Radical surgery ± cisplatin‐based (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is the mainstay of treatment for invasive urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract (UTUC) or bladder (UBC), but recurrence rates are high. Furthermore, many patients are unable to receive NAC due to cisplatin ineligibility. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) genetic alterations occur in up to 70% of UTUC and up to 20% of UBC and may constitute a potential candidate for targeted therapy. Infigratinib (BGJ398), a FGFR1–3 selective oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown promising clinical activity and tolerability in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma having FGFR3 alterations [Pal et al. Cancer Discov 2018]. PROOF 302 has been designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of infigratinib versus placebo as adjuvant therapy in patients with high-risk invasive urothelial carcinoma and susceptible FGFR3 alterations. Methods: PROOF 302 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III study of approx. 218 patients. Adults with high-risk invasive UTUC or UBC with susceptible FGFR3 genetic alterations (i.e. activating mutations, gene fusions or translocations) who are ≤120 days following surgical resection and ineligible for or refusing cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy or with residual disease after cisplatin-based NAC are eligible. Those who received non cisplatin-based NAC are eligible if they have residual disease and are ineligible for adjuvant cisplatin. Patients receive oral infigratinib 125 mg or placebo (1:1 ratio) once daily on days 1–21 every 28 days for up to 52 weeks or until disease recurrence, unacceptable toxicity or death. Primary endpoint: centrally reviewed disease-free survival (DFS). Secondary endpoints: DFS including intraluminal low-risk recurrence; metastasis-free survival; overall survival; DFS (per investigator); safety and tolerability. Exploratory endpoints include quality of life, pharmacokinetics, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and/or RNA for resistance mechanisms. The study will involve approximately 120 centers worldwide. The study was initiated in late 2019 and is expected to end in 2024. Clinical trial information: NCT04197986 .

572 Background: The ACTS-CC 02 trial is designed to verify the superiority of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy of S-1/Oxaliplatin (SOX) for patients with anyT, N2 colon cancer compared with UFT/Leucovorin (UFT/LV), which is one of standard adjuvant chemotherapies in Japan. To date, there have been no reported phase III trials evaluating SOX as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. This report presents initial safety data obtained from 50 patients who received SOX in the trial. Methods: Patients who underwent curative resection for anyT, N2 colon cancer were randomly assigned to receive either SOX (100 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin on day1, and 80 to 120 mg/day according to body surface area (BSA) of S-1 on days 1-14, every 21 days, 8 courses) or UFT/LV (300 to 600 mg/day according to BSA of UFT and 75 mg/day of LV on days 1-28, every 35 days, 5 courses). Data were collected from initial consecutive 50 patients assigned to the SOX group and analyzed when they were considered evaluable for safety as planned in the protocol. This ongoing trial is designed to accrue 1200 patients. As of September 15, 2011, 319 patients have been accrued. Results: Of 50 patients assigned to receive SOX, 48 were evaluable for safety. The median number of treatment courses was 5 (range: 1-8). The relative dose intensity of S-1 was 83.8% and that of oxaliplatin was 86.6%. Grade 3 adverse events were neutropenia (14.6%), thrombocytopenia (2.1%), ALT elevation (2.1%), diarrhea (8.3%), fatigue (2.1%), and peripheral sensory neuropathy (2.1%). Grade 4 adverse effects were not observed. Conclusions: In this initial safety analysis, the incidence and severity of adverse events with SOX were acceptable in patients with high risk stage III colon cancer after curative resection. Enrollment of patients is ongoing.

BackgroundSurgery remains the mainstay of treatment for resectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The preliminary results from some pilot trials have shown that neoadjuvant immunotherapy in NSCLC is safe and tolerable.1 2Hypothesizing that neoadjuvant toripalimab (a humanized anti-PD-1 antibody) plus chemotherapy can improve the outcome in resectable NSCLC, we are conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of toripalimab plus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy as neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy for patients with resectable stage III NSCLC.MethodsThis ongoing study enrolls patients aged 18–70 years with treatment-naïve, histopathologically confirmed resectable stage III NSCLC without EGFR mutation or ALK translocation, ECOG PS 0–1, and adequate organ function. Eligible subjects are randomized (1:1) into experimental or control group, to receive perioperative toripalimab 240 mg or placebo combined with chemotherapy for 4 cycle in total (Docetaxel 60–75 mg/m2 or Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 with platinum [squamous histology] or Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 with platinum [non-squamous histology]) every 3 weeks for three cycles followed by surgery, and one more cycle after surgery, then monotherapy of toripalimab 240 mg or placebo every 3 weeks up to 13 cycles is delivered. Adjuvant radiotherapy is allowed. Randomization is stratified by tumor stage(IIIA vs IIIB), pathological type (squamous vs non-squamous), PD-L1 expression (PD-L1≥1% vs <1% or not evaluable) and planned surgical procedure (pneumonectomy vs lobectomy). Radiographic response is assessed within 4–6 weeks after last dose of neoadjuvant therapy, at 30 days after surgery and every 12 weeks thereafter. Primary endpoints are major pathologic response (MPR) rate evaluated by blind independent central pathology review (BIPR-MPR) and event-free survival evaluated by investigator (INV-EFS). Secondary endpoints include pathologic complete response (pCR) rate evaluated by BIPR and investigators (BIPR-pCR and INV-pCR), disease-free survival (DFS), 2–3 years OS rate, OS, safety, and feasibility of surgery. Exploratory endpoints are potential correlations between biomarkers and efficacy. A stratified Cochran Mantel Haenszel method will be used to assess binary endpoints. A Kaplan-Meier method, a stratified log-rank test and a stratified Cox proportional hazards model will be used to assess survival endpoints.Planned enrollment is 406 patients. The study is actively enrolling at 52 Chinese sites.ResultsN/AConclusionsN/AAcknowledgementsN/ATrial RegistrationThe Clinical trials. gov no NCT04158440Ethics ApprovalThis study was approved by the Ethics Board of all the involved sites; Approval number of Shanghai Chest Hospital: LS1936ConsentN/AReferencesForde PM, Chaft JE, Smith KN, et al.

Purpose: To evaluate the survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection in serosa-negative gastric cancer patients (excluding patients who were T1N0), we conducted a multicenter phase III clinical trial in which 13 cancer centers in Japan participated. Patients and Methods: From January 1993 to December 1994, 252 patients were enrolled into the study and allocated randomly to adjuvant chemotherapy or surgery alone. The chemotherapy comprised intravenous mitomycin 1.33 mg/m2, fluorouracil (FU) 166.7 mg/m2, and cytarabine 13.3 mg/m2 twice weekly for the first 3 weeks after surgery, and oral FU 134 mg/m2 daily for the next 18 months for a total dose of 67 g/m2. The primary end point was relapse-free survival. Overall survival and the site of recurrence were secondary end points. Results: Ninety-eight percent of patients underwent gastrectomy with D2 or greater lymph node dissection. There were no treatment-related deaths and few serious adverse events. There was no significant difference in relapse-free and overall survival between the arms (5-year relapse-free survival 88.8% chemotherapy v 83.7% surgery alone; P = .14 and 5-year survival 91.2% chemotherapy v 86.1% surgery alone; P = .13, respectively). Nine patients (7.1%) in the chemotherapy arm and 17 patients (13.8%) in the surgery-alone arm had cancer recurrence. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant relapse-free or overall survival benefit with this adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with macroscopically serosa-negative gastric cancer after curative resection, and there was no statistical difference between the two arms relating to the types of cancer recurrence. We do not recommend adjuvant chemotherapy with this regimen for this population in clinical practice.

3598 Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) is recommended to commence within 8 weeks since after surgical resection of stage II or III colon cancer. Results of many retrospective studies showed inferior survival outcomes following delay of AC delay. Moreover, preclinical studies showed that the progression of disseminated cancer cells is profound during the postoperative period. This study is the first prospective trial to evaluate early (≤ 14 days postoperative) AC for patients (pts) with stage III colon cancer. Methods: This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized phase III trial. Pts with pathological stage III colon cancer were enrolled and randomized 1:1 to early AC (starting AC ≤ 14 days after surgery) or conventional AC (starting AC > 14 days after surgery). Pts were recommended to receive 12 cycles of FOLFOX-6 for AC. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival. The secondary endpoints were overall survival, adverse events, surgical complication during AC, and patient-reported outcomes (quality of life) during 1 year after surgery. Herein, safety data, chemotherapy delivery, and quality of life are presented. Results: This study randomized 443 pts either early AC arm (221pts) or early AC arm (222 pts) to the during September 2011 to March 2020. 380 pts who received at least one cycle of FOLFOX-6 were included in the safety analysis (192 and 188 in the early and conventional AC arms, respectively). The baseline characteristics of the two groups were well-balanced except for the interval from the surgery to the initial AC. The early and conventional AC arms started their first chemotherapy at median of 13 (4-43 days) and 29 (17-53 days) after surgery (p < 0.001), respectively. No significant differences were seen in the median chemotherapy cycles, AC completion, and relative oxaliplatin dose intensity between groups. AC Completion without any change of dose or schedule delay was seen in 18% and 20% in early and conventional AC arms respectively, while dose reduction or delay was 65% and 61%, respectively. Toxicities of grade 3 or more were seen in 28% in both groups. One patient in the early AC arm underwent an emergent operation for anastomotic leakage on the second day of 5-fluorouracil infusion (postoperative day 14). However, the surgical complication was not seen in any other patient. The scores of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life core 30 questionnaire were similar in both arms at baseline (before starting AC), and 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery. Conclusions: Early AC was safe and did not increase either chemotherapy-related adverse events or surgery-related complications during treatment. Moreover early AC did not reduce the quality of life of the pts during 1 year after surgery. This study continues to follow-up the patients for survival outcomes. Clinical trial information: NCT01460589.

Purpose Reduction of adjuvant treatment duration may decrease toxicities without loss of efficacy in stage III colon cancer. This could offer clear advantages to patients and health care providers. Methods In International Duration Evaluation of Adjuvant Chemotherapy (IDEA) France, as part of the IDEA international collaboration, patient with colon cancer patients were randomly assigned to 3 and 6 months of modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6: infusional fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) or capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPOX) by physician choice. The primary end point was disease-free survival (DFS), and analyses were descriptive. Results A total of 2,010 eligible patients received either 3 or 6 months of chemotherapy (modified intention-to-treat population); 2,000 (99%) had stage III colon cancer (N1: 75%, N2: 25%); 1,809 (90%) received mFOLFOX6, and 201 (10%) received CAPOX. The median age was 64 years, and the median follow-up time was 4.3 years. Overall, 94% (3 months) and 78% (6 months) of patients completed treatment (fluoropyrimidines ± oxaliplatin). Maximal grade 2 and 3 neuropathy rates were 28% and 8% in the 3-month arm and 41% and 25% in the 6-month arm ( P < .001). Final rates of residual neuropathy greater than grade 1 were 3% in the 3-month arm and 7% in the 6-month arm ( P < .001). There were 578 DFS events: 314 and 264 in the 3- and 6-month arms, respectively. The 3-year DFS rates were 72% and 76% in the 3- and 6-month arms, respectively (hazard ratio [HR], 1.24; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.46; P = .0112). In the 3 and 6-month arms, respectively, for patients who received mFOLFOX6, the 3-year DFS rates were 72% and 76% (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.51); for the T4 and/or N2 population, they were 58% and 66% (HR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.82); and for the T1-3N1 population, they were 81% and 83% (HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.89 to 1.49). Conclusion IDEA France, in which 90% of patients received mFOLFOX6, shows superiority of 6 months of adjuvant chemotherapy compared with 3 months, especially in the T4 and/or N2 subgroups. These results should be considered alongside the international IDEA collaboration data.
