6 Background: Double regimens are commonly accepted for AGC in East Asia. However, triple regimens are recommended in west countries. POF regimen (reported in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 ASCO) appeared to be of good efficacy and was well tolerated in patients with AGC. Intraperitoneal paclitaxel showed high local concentration in abdominal cavity and low systemic toxicity. The aims of this study were to find out if the POF and IP PAC was more effective with manageable side effects than FOLFOX in AGC (reported in 2017 ASCO-GI for feasibility analysis). Methods: The patients with AGC were randomized to three groups. The POF consisted of a 3-hour infusion of paclitaxel 135 mg/m2, followed by FOLFOX omitted 5-Fu bolus. The IP PAC consisted of paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 intraperitoneally plus FOLFOX. Every 14 days repeated for all three regimens. Up to 9 cycles of treatment were administered, followed by S-1 until disease progression. The primary endpoint was PFS. Results: Between Nov 2015 and May 2018, 89 pts (30 POF, 29 IP PAC, 30 FOLFOX) were randomly allocated. PFS, OS and RR were seen in the table below. POF was better in PFS and RR than FOLFOX, although no statistically significant difference in RR. IP PAC was trend to be better in PFS than FOLFOX, but not in RR. OS was unmatured. The most common adverse events of grade 3 or 4 were neutropenia and neuropathy, but no significant difference among three groups. Conclusions: Both POF and IP PAC improved survival compared to FOLFOX. Only POF, not IP PAC, improved response rate compared to FOLFOX. Clinical trial information: NCT02845908. [Table: see text]

3551 Background: XELOX is a valuable alternative to continuous infusion FOLFOX type regimens in the treatment of MCC (Borner et al, JCO 2002, 1759). Cetuximab is an EGFR antibody, which has been shown to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy. A phase II study in first-line treatment of MCC has demonstrated a high response rate combining cetuximab with FOLFOX (Tabernero et al, Proc ASCO 2004, 3512). Methods: Multicenter, randomized two-arm phase II trial: OXA 130 mg/m2 day 1 and oral CAP 1000 mg/m2 bid days 1–14 every 21 days alone or in combination with cetuximab 250 mg/m2 weekly after a loading dose of 400 mg/m2. Treatment was limited to a maximum of 6 cycles. With 37 patients in each arm, the power was 90% to select the truly better arm if the true between-arm difference in response rate (RECIST) is at least 15%. The study was open for accrual until October 2005. Results: We present here the results of 74 patients included in the study. In 67 patients the first response data are available (investigators’ assessment after 3 cycles). The two arms are well balanced for relevant patient, disease and treatment characteristics. The study treatment was well tolerated with grade 3/4 toxicities in < 10% of the cycles in each arm. The frequency of side effects was balanced, but with more frequent skin toxicity in the cetuximab arm (6% versus 0% grade 3/4). Conclusions: Cetuximab seems to positively interact with XELOX in terms of efficacy but not toxicity. The cetuximab/XELOX combination appears to be a valuable option in first-line treatment of MCC especially if high response rates are a primary objective. This trial was supported in part by Merck KGaA and Sanofi-Aventis Switzerland. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.

4035 Background: The PFS with POF was statistically significantly improved and IP PAC was trending to improve compared to FOLFOX in first-line setting in AGC were reported in 2019 ASCO-GI (abstract 6). Update and subgroup analysis were released herein. Methods: The patients with AGC were randomized to three groups. The POF or IP PAC was paclitaxel 135 mg/m2intravenously (POF) or paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 intraperitoneally (IP PAC) followed by mFOLFOX6 omitted 5-Fu bolus. Every 14 days repeated for all three regimens. Up to 9 cycles of treatment were administered, followed by S-1 until disease progression. The primary endpoint was PFS. Results: Between Nov 2015 and May 2018, 89 pts (30 POF, 29 IP PAC, 30 FOLFOX) were randomly allocated. PFS, OS and RR were seen in the table below. Either POF or IP PAC was statistically significantly better than FOLFOX in PFS. In subgroup with female, peritoneal metastasis, ascites, lymphadenopathy in peritoneal cavity, number of organs involved > 2, POF was statistically significantly better than FOLFOX in PFS. In subgroup with female, gastrium of primary tumor site, peritoneal metastasis, ascites, no lymphadenopathy out of peritoneal cavity, IP PAC was statistically significantly better than FOLFOX in PFS. Intravenously docetaxel plus S-1 still saw response after IP PAC. Conclusions: either POF or IP PAC improved survival compared to FOLFOX, especially in patients with female or peritoneum metastasis. Only POF, not IP PAC, improved response rate compared to FOLFOX. Clinical trial information: NCT02845908. [Table: see text]

BackgroundBevacizumab is an approved treatment after primary debulking surgery for ovarian cancer. However, there is limited information on bevacizumab added to neoadjuvant chemotherapy before interval debulking surgery.ObjectiveTo evaluate neoadjuvant bevacizumab in a randomized phase II trial.MethodsPatients with newly diagnosed stage III/IV high-grade serous/endometrioid ovarian cancer were randomized to receive four cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without ≥3 cycles of bevacizumab 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks. After interval debulking surgery, all patients received post-operative chemotherapy (three cycles) and bevacizumab for 15 months. The primary end point was complete macroscopic response rate at interval debulking surgery.ResultsOf 68 patients randomized, 64 completed four neoadjuvant cycles; 22 of 33 (67%) in the chemotherapy-alone arm and 31 of 35 (89%) in the bevacizumab arm (p=0.029) underwent surgery. The complete macroscopic response rate did not differ between treatment arms in either the intention-to-treat population of 68 patients (6.1% vs 5.7%, respectively; p=0.25) or the 55 patients who underwent surgery (8.3% vs 6.5%; p=1.00). There was no difference in complete cytoreduction rate or progression-free survival between the treatment arms. During neoadjuvant therapy, grade ≥3 adverse events were more common with chemotherapy alone than with bevacizumab (61% vs 29%, respectively; p=0.008). Intestinal (sub)occlusion, fatigue/asthenia, abdominal infection, and thrombocytopenia were less frequent with bevacizumab. The incidence of grade ≥3 adverse events was 9% in the control arm versus 16% in the experimental arm in the month after surgery.ConclusionsAdding three to four pre-operative cycles of bevacizumab to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for unresectable disease did not improve the complete macroscopic response rate or surgical outcome, but improved surgical operability without increasing toxicity. These results support the early integration of bevacizumab in carefully selected high-risk patients requiring neoadjuvant chemotherapy for initially unresectable ovarian cancer.
