e16008 Background: Systematic chemotherapy with biologics improves survival in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy is suggested in stage III and high-risk stage II CRC. However, whether adjuvant oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy remains standard treatment in CRC with liver metastases after hepatectomy is not elucidated. Methods: Medical records were searched in Chang-Gung Research Database from 2004 to 2017. Patients with CRC and liver metastases who received systematic therapies and salvage hepatectomy were included. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival, and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Total 454 patients received upfront hepatectomy (cohort 1) and 232 patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy +/- biologics and salvage hepatectomy (cohort 2) were included in this study. In cohort 1 or cohort 2, the baseline characteristics of those received either postoperative oxaliplatin-containing regimen or other systematic regimens were not statistically different in gender, age, primary site, and biologic drugs. In cohort 1, overall survival (OS) in those received postoperative oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy was significantly better than that of those received non-oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy (median OS: 6.6 vs. 4.5 years, Log-rank p = 0.032; 5-year survival rate: 57.5 vs. 47.0%). In cohort 2, OS in those received postoperative oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy was similar with that of those received irinotecan or biologics-containing chemotherapy (median OS: 3.1 vs. 3.5 vs. 3.8 years, Log-rank p = 0.472; 5-year survival rate: 30.9 vs. 33.3 vs. 37.0%). Conclusions: Oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy provides better OS and remains standard adjuvant treatment in CRC with liver metastases after upfront hepatectomy. However, adjuvant chemotherapy in those received neoadjuvant chemotherapy +/- biologics and salvage hepatectomy should be individualized. Further prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings.

4062 Background: To evaluate the efficacy of chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of liver metastases in colorectal cancer patients concerning local control and survival. Methods: 207 patients with liver metastases of colorectal cancer were treated with repeated TACE in 4-week intervals. In total, 1,307 chemoembolizations were performed with a mean of 6.3 sessions per patient. At the time of first chemoembolization the average age of the patients was 68.8 years (range, 39.4–83.5 years). 158 patients were treated palliatively, 35 symptomatically and 14 patients neoadjuvantly. The chemotherapy consisted of Mitomycin C with/without Gemcitabin; embolization was performed with Lipiodol and starch microspheres for vessel occlusion. Tumor response was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The change in size was calculated and the response was evaluated according to the RECIST criteria. Survival rates from the first diagnosis and from the first TACE session were both calculated according to the Kaplan-Meier method to obtain the median survival. Results: While 70% of the patients showed multiple metastases, 6% had 1 metastasis, 5.8% had 2 metastases and 18.2% had 3 to 4 metastases. Lesion size and number before, during and after treatment were assessed to deduce the morphological response. Local control results according to the RECIST criteria were as follows: partial response 12% of patients, stable disease in 51% and progressive disease in 37%. The 1-year survival rate after TACE was 62%, but the 2-year survival rate had been reduced to 38%. The median survival time from the date of diagnosis of metastases was 3.4 years (according to Kaplan-Meier), the median survival time from the start of TACE treatment was 1.34 years. The median survival time of the palliative group was 1.4 years, of the symptomatic group 0.8 years and of the neoadjuvant group 1.5 years. Conclusions: TACE is an effective minimal-invasive therapy for neoadjuvant, symptomatic or palliative treatment of liver metastases in colorectal cancer patients.

Background: A comprehensive investigation into immune cell infiltration provides more accurate and reliable prognostic information for patients with colorectal liver oligometastases (CLO) after liver metastasectomy. Methods: Simultaneous detection of the immune constituents CD3+, CD8+, Foxp3+ T, and α-SMA+ cells in the liver oligometastasis of 133 patients was conducted using a four-colour immunohistochemical multiplex technique. Immune cells were quantified, and tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) ratios were subsequently calculated. Correlation analysis was performed using Pearson’s correlation. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) for TIL ratios were analysed using the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression models. Results: Significantly fewer CD3+, CD8+, and Foxp3+ T cells were observed in the intratumoural region than in the peritumoural region of liver metastases. CD3+, CD8+, Foxp3+ T, and α-SMA+ cells showed significantly positive correlations with each other both in the intratumoural and peritumoural regions of liver metastases. Only the CD8/CD3 TIL ratio demonstrated a positive correlation between intratumoural and peritumoural regions of liver metastases (r = 0.541, p < 0.001). Patients with high intratumoural CD8/CD3 ratios had significantly longer 3-year RFS (59.0% vs. 47.4%, p = 0.035) and 3-year OS rates (83.3% vs. 65.8%, p = 0.007) than those with low intratumoural CD8/CD3 ratios. Multivariate analyses revealed that the intratumoural CD8/CD3 ratio was independently associated with RFS (HR = 0.593; 95% CI = 0.357–0.985; p = 0.043) and OS (HR = 0.391; 95% CI = 0.193–0.794; p = 0.009). Conclusion: These findings offer a better understanding of the prognostic value of immune cell infiltration on liver oligometastasis from colorectal cancer.

3586 Background: Recent evidence suggests that benefit from anti-EGFR treatment is restricted to RAS wild-type left-sided colorectal cancer (LC) (Holch JW et al. Eur J Cancer 2017). However, these results are preliminary. We therefore investigated patients with RC enrolled in the FIRE-3 trial, which evaluated the efficacy of first-line FOLFIRI plus either cetuximab (cet) or bevacizumab (bev) in RAS wildtype mCRC. New metrics of tumor dynamics were used to characterize the patients. Methods: The splenic flexure was used to differentiate LC from RC. Survival analysis was done using Kaplan-Meier estimation and differences were expressed using Log-Rank test, hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Central independent radiological data was used to calculate early tumor shrinkage ≥20% (ETS) and depth of response (DpR). Results: In total, 330 patients were assessable for central radiological evaluation. In patients with LC (n = 257), treatment with FOLFIRI + cet led to longer overall survival (OS) compared to FOLFIRI + bev (HR = 0.68, p = 0.016). In patients with RC (n = 68), OS was comparable between treatment arms (HR = 1.11, p = 0.715). In patients with RC and ETS < 20%, OS was inferior in patients treated with FOLFIRI + cet. In patients who reached ETS ≥20%, a comparable OS was evident between treatment arms (for further details of efficacy in patients with RC see table). Conclusions: Patients with RC do not represent a uniform population. ETS ≥20% defines a subgroup of patients where comparable treatment efficacy was observed with regard to OS, ORR and DpR by addition of cetuximab vs. bevacizumab to FOLFIRI. [Table: see text]

9105 Background: Docetaxel is a common comparator arm to test novel therapies in post-platinum mNSCLC trials. The advent of Real World Evidence (RWE) has renewed interest in the use of synthetic control arms (control arms from previously conducted randomized trials) to improve accrual to trials and increase patient access of promising experimental agents. We reviewed legacy second-line (2L) mNSCLC trials to assess the impact of switching docetaxel control arms from one trial to another and compare to an experimental regimen. Methods: We identified 5 contemporary 2L trials that enrolled 2013 patients receiving an experimental therapy vs. docetaxel: 5 immunoncology head-to-head trials (one with 2 arms) and one anti-VEGF add-on trial. Kaplan-Meier curves of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were produced for docetaxel controls. We calculated OS and PFS hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for each synthetic trial. A pooled doc arm was also compared with each experimental agent. Results: See Table. Conclusions: Both individual and pooled docetaxel switching of control arms approximated the original OS HR and 95% CI. Methods such as bootstrapped sampling and propensity score matching will be performed in an effort to more closely approximate the original trial characteristics. [Table: see text]
