AbstractBackgroundThe annual incidence of gastrointestinal carcinomas (stomach, small bowel, colon and rectum) is increasing in Western countries, reaching 50,000 new cases each year in France. Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is diagnosed in 15% of these patients. Complete cytoreductive surgery (CCS) plus Hyperthermic IntraPeritoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is the only therapy that can offer patients with PC a chance for long-term survival with a 5 year overall survival (OS) rate of 30–60% versus 0–5% with systemic chemotherapy alone. However, CCS plus HIPEC still presents serious limitations and very few patients (10%) are candidates for these radical treatments. PC remains a palliative setting for 90% of patients with a median survival ranging from 15 to 25 months. Innovative surgical therapies such as Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) therefore need to be developed to improve the prognosis. Potential benefits were obtained after intraperitoneal nebulization of oxaliplatin in patients with advanced PC from colorectal cancer. Innovative surgical therapies such as pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) have been proposed as palliative locoregional treatment with some promising results. The dose of oxaliplatin currently established by nebulization (PIPAC) is really low at 92 mg/m2. However, the peritoneum acts as a barrier limiting the systemic passage of intraperitoneal drug. Oxaliplatin used at higher doses during PIPAC procedures could be a safe option and allow better intratumoral penetration of chemotherapy.Method and designThe proposed study is a multicenter phase I/II trial of oxaliplatin dose escalation during PIPAC. The aim is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of pressurized oxaliplatin administered by the intraperitoneal route (PIPAC) during two consecutive procedures at a 4–6 week interval for patients with extended peritoneal carcinomatosis from the gastrointestinal tract. Dose started at 90 mg/m2 and escalation was in 50 mg/m2 steps up to a maximum of 300 mg/m2.DiscussionOxaliplatin is an effective drug in gastrointestinal cancer and high doses given by the intraperitoneal route during HIPEC are well tolerated. In this phase I trial, we hypothesized that high-dose oxaliplatin during PIPAC is feasible and safe. The repeated local administration of high doses of oxaliplatin could improve tumor response and prognosis.Trial registrationProspective study. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03294252.

IntroductionCytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) has become standard of care for patients with peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin with a low/moderate abdominal disease load. In case of a peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score >20, CRS-HIPEC is not considered to be beneficial. Patients with a PCI >20 are currently offered palliative systemic chemotherapy. Previous studies have shown that systemic chemotherapy is less effective against peritoneal metastases than it is against haematogenous spread of colorectal cancer. It is suggested that patients with peritoneal metastases may benefit from the addition of intraperitoneal chemotherapy to systemic chemotherapy. Aim of this study is to establish the maximum tolerated dose of intraperitoneal irinotecan, added to standard of care systemic therapy for colorectal cancer. Secondary endpoints are to determine the safety and feasibility of this treatment and to establish the pharmacokinetic profile of intraperitoneally administered irinotecan.Methods and analysisThis phase I, ‘3+3’ dose-escalation, study is performed in two Dutch tertiary referral centres. The study population consists of adult patients with extensive peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin who have a good performance status and no extra-abdominal metastases. According to standard work-up for CRS-HIPEC, patients will undergo a diagnostic laparoscopy to score the PCI. In case of a PCI >20, a peritoneal access port will be placed in the abdomen of the patient. Through this port we will administer intraperitoneal irinotecan, in combination with standard systemic treatment consisting of 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin with oxaliplatin and the targeted agent bevacizumab. Therapy consists of a maximum of 12 cycles 2-weekly.Ethics and disseminationThis study protocol is approved by a research medical ethics committee (Rotterdam, Netherlands) and the Dutch Competent Authority (CCMO, The Hague, Netherlands). The results of this trial will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.Trail registration numberNL6988 and NL2018-000479-33; Pre-results.

PURPOSE A phase I study was undertaken to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), principal toxicities, and pharmacokinetics of the novel topoisomerase I inhibitor irinotecan (CPT-11). PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-four patients meeting standard phase I eligibility criteria were included (24 women, 40 men; median age, 51 years; primary sites: colon, head and neck, lung, pleura; 60 of 64 had been previously treated). Pharmacokinetics was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULTS One hundred ninety CPT-11 courses were administered as a 30-minute intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (100 to 750 mg/m2). Grade 3 to 4 nonhematologic toxicities included diarrhea (16%; three hospitalizations), nausea and vomiting (9%), asthenia (14%), alopecia (53%), elevation of hepatic transaminases (8%), and one case of skin toxicity. An acute cholinergic syndrome was observed during CPT-11 administration. Diarrhea appeared dose-limiting at 350 mg/m2, but this was circumvented by using a high-dose loperamide protocol that allowed dose escalation. Dose-dependent, reversible, noncumulative granulocytopenia was the dose-limiting toxicity (nadir, days 6 to 9; median recovery time, 5 days). Grade 3 to 4 anemia was observed in 9% of patients. One patient died during the study, 8 days after CPT-11 treatment. Two complete responses (cervix, 450 mg/m2; head and neck, 750 mg/m2) and six partial responses in fluorouracil (5-FU)-refractory colon cancer were observed (260 to 600 mg/m2). Pharmacokinetics of CPT-11 and active metabolite SN-38 were performed in 60 patients (94 courses). CPT-11 plasma disposition was bi- or triphasic, with a mean terminal half-life of 14.2 +/- 0.9 hours (mean +/- SEM). The mean volume of distribution (Vdss) was 157 +/- 8 L/m2, and total-body clearance was 15 +/- 1 L/m2/h. The CPT-11 area under the plasma concentration versus time curves (AUC) and SN-38 AUC increased linearly with dose. SN-38 plasma decay had an apparent half-life of 13.8 +/- 1.4 hours. Both CPT-11 and SN-38 AUCs correlated with nadir leukopenia and granulocytopenia, with grade 2 diarrhea, and with nausea and vomiting. CONCLUSION The MTD of CPT-11 administered as a 30-minute IV infusion every 3 weeks is 600 mg/m2, with granulocytopenia being dose-limiting. At 350 mg/m2, diarrhea appeared dose-limiting, but high-dose loperamide reduced this toxicity and allowed dose escalation. For safety reasons, the recommended dose is presently 350 mg/m2 every 3 weeks; more experience must be gained to establish the feasibility of a higher dose in large multicentric phase II studies. However, when careful monitoring of gastrointestinal toxicities is possible, a higher dose of 500 mg/m2 could be recommended in good-risk patients. The activity of this agent in 5-FU-refractory colorectal carcinoma makes it unique and mandates expedited phase II testing.

AbstractBackground: The current treatment of choice for peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer is systemic chemotherapy. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a new aggressive form of loco-regional treatment that is currently being used in pseudomyxoma peritoneii, peritoneal mesothelioma and peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer. It is still under investigation for its use in gastric cancer.Methods: The literature between 1970 and 2016 was surveyed systematically through a review of published studies on the treatment outcomes of CRS and HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer.Results: Seventeen studies were included in this review. The median survival for all patients ranged from 6.6 to 15.8 months. The 5-years overall survival ranged from 6 to 31%. For patients with complete cytoreduction, the median survival was 11.2 to 43.4 months and the 5-years overall survival was 13 % to 23%. Important prognostic factors were found to be a low peritoneal carcarcinomatosis index (PCI) score and the completeness of cytoreduction.Conclusion: The current evidence suggests that CRS and HIPEC has a role to play in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer. Long term survival has been shown for a select group of patients. However, further studies are needed to validate these results.

Abstract A recent prospective randomized trial comparing standard-dose to high-dose melphalan in patients presenting with newly diagnosed AL-amyloidosis showed that oral melphalan-dexamethasone (M-dex) given monthly could be considered the current standard of care, with a median survival of 56 months (Jaccard, N Engl J Med 2007). The use of a combination of lenalidomide and dexamethasone has also been tested in patients with symptomatic AL-amyloidosis. The initial dose of lenalidomide at 25 mg/day was poorly tolerated. However, a 15 mg/day dose regimen was well tolerated and effective, with both hematologic and organ responses (Dispenzieri, Blood 2007 & Sanchorawala, Blood 2007). Combining M-dex with lenalidomide (M-dex-rev) could increase the response rate but the toxicity of this regimen is still unknown. Thus we have initiated a multicenter single-arm open-label phase I/II dose escalation study of lenalidomide administered in combination with M-dex. The primary endpoint was the incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLT) during the first cycle of lenalidomide at a given dose level in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In addition to melphalan 0.18mg/kg/day from day 1–4 of each 28 day cycle and dexamethasone 40mg/day from day 1– 4 of each 28 day cycle, 3 cohorts of 3 subjects were successively exposed to escalating doses of lenalidomide (5, 10 and 15mg once daily on days 1–21 of a 28 day cycle). DLT was defined using National Cancer Institute (NCI) common toxicity criteria during the first 4 weeks of treatment (one cycle) as the following: at least grade 2 cardiac arrhythmia, at least grade 3 non hematologic toxicity, grade 4 neutropenia lasting >7 days or any other Grade 4 hematologic toxicity, or treatment delay due to toxicity that occurred during the first cycle. No DLT was observed among the first 3 patients treated at 5, 10 and 15 mg lenalidomide/day. 9 additional subjects will be enrolled at 15 mg/day to better define the safety profile and estimate the hematologic and organ response rate. Final results regarding both toxicity and efficacy will be presented during the meeting.

Abstract Abstract 1957 Background: Despite recent improvements, MM remains incurable, indicating the need for continued investigation of novel agents. ENMD-2076 is a novel, orally active molecule that has been shown to have significant activity against Aurora and multiple receptor tyrosine kinases. Recently, we demonstrated that ENMD-2076 has significant pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo activity against MM cell lines and primary myeloma cells (Wang et al., Br J Haematol, 2010). Furthermore, ENMD-2076 inhibited critical pathways for MM cell survival and proliferation, including PI3K/AKT pathway with downregulation of survivin and XIAP, and Aurora A and B kinases, inducing G2/M cell cycle arrest, angiogenesis, and the FGFR3 pathway. We present the interim results of a phase I clinical trial of ENMD-2076 in patients with relapsed and refractory MM. Methods: An open label, single agent, dose-escalation dose safety and tolerability trial of ENMD-2076 is currently conducted in heavily pre-treated, relapsed and refractory MM patients who have previously failed standard therapy. Using a 3+3 design, dose escalation with ENMD-2076 is currently being studied at the doses: 150, 225, 325, 400 mg PO daily in 28 day cycles. Patients receive 28-day cycles according to safety and tolerability and absence of progression. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic studies, including effect on phosphorylated histone 3 (pH3) in purified bone marrow MM cells, effect on the PI3K pathway in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and circulating endothelial cell precursors are being investigated. Results: Currently, dose-escalation for the first three dose levels has been completed. Nine patients of median age 54 (range, 48–76) years were treated. There were 5 males and 4 females. The median number of prior regimens was 3 (range, 2–5), with 8 patients having failed high-dose melphalan and autologous stem cell transplantation. The most commonly observed toxicities included grades 1–2 anorexia (n=2), nausea (n=2), diarrhea (n=3), fatigue (n=3), asymptomatic elevation of amylase (n=3) and lipase (n=1), leucopenia (n=1), and heavy proteinuria (n=1). Grades 3 toxicities included hypertension (n=1), asymptomatic elevation of lipase (n=2), and thrombocytopenia (n=1). No dose-limiting toxicity was observed with all toxicities resolving promptly upon interruption or discontinuation of dosing. All patients treated on dose level 1 had progression of disease on treatment, 1 patient in dose level 2 had stabilization of disease, and 2 patients on dose level 3 had stable disease although with 21% and 19% reduction in serum M-protein after the first cycle. Significant increases in pH3 in MM cells were observed in 4 of 5 patients tested in dose levels 2 and 3. p-STAT3 and pGSK-beta were downregulated in PBMC in one patient, who also had a 19% reduction in M-protein. Conclusion: In the ongoing phase I clinical trial, ENMD-2076 appears safe and well –tolerated at the doses tested to date. Additional schedules are under investigation based on tolerability and correlative analyses. ENMD-2076 may hold promise as a treatment for MM and further study is warranted.

Abstract Abstract 2024 Background: For patients with relapsed or refractory HL, salvage chemotherapy followed by aHSCT is the standard of care. Our group previously reported excellent clinical outcomes with accelerated hyperfractionated TLI followed by high-dose chemotherapy and aHSCT (Ann of Oncol. 16:679, 2007). This strategy has been adopted as the standard at our institution for eligible individuals and we now report long-term outcomes of patients previously reported on the phase I/II clinical trial in addition to those who were subsequently treated as standard of care. Patients and methods: Patients with biopsy confirmed relapsed/refractory classical HL who previously received no more than 20 Gy were eligible. Salvage chemotherapy was chosen by the patient's treating physician. All patients received accelerated hyperfractionated TLI prior to transplantation administered twice daily at 150 cGy, five days/week for 10 days. The morning dose was delivered to all nodal sites including the spleen, and the afternoon dose was delivered to all sites of previous and current disease. The goal was to treat uninvolved nodal sites and spleen to 1500 cGy and sites of current and previous disease to 3000 cGy. Conditioning chemotherapy consisted of high-dose carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide. All patients received carboplatin 450 mg/m2 by continuous intravenous infusion (CIV) on days –6 to –4 (total dose = 1350 mg/m2) and cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg/day over 1 h on days –3 and –2 (total dose = 120 mg/kg). Patients on the phase I portion of the trial received escalating doses of etoposide by CIV from days –6 to –4. Initial dosing levels were 400 mg/m2/day, 450 mg/m2/day, 500 mg/m2/day, 600 mg/m2/day and 700 mg/m2/day. Those treated on the phase II portion of the clinical trial or subsequent to the closing of the trial were treated with etoposide 700 mg/m2/day for a total of 2100 mg/m2. Results: 52 patients with relapsed/refractory HL at Northwestern University were treated with TLI and aHSCT from 1993 to January 2011. One patient was lost to follow-up immediately post-transplant. 51 patients were included in this analysis and had a median follow-up of 47 months (range: 0.07–204 months). Thirty patients were treated on a previously reported prospective phase I/II clinical trial. Most patients had nodular sclerosis histology (n=39, 76%) and more than half had primary induction failure (PIF; n=29). Among patients who achieved a CR with induction, 62% relapsed within one year. The most common salvage regimens were ESHAP and ICE chemotherapy and most had received two lines of chemotherapy prior to aHSCT. Only 21 patients (41%) achieved a complete response (CR) with salvage therapy and in most cases (n=31, 61%), response was determined by functional imaging prior to aHSCT. The 10-year PFS and OS for all patients were 56% and 54%, respectively. Ten-year PFS and OS for patients with PIF was 53%, compared with 63% and 59%, respectively, for those with relapsed disease (p=0.13 and p=0.20, respectively). Patients who had incomplete responses to salvage therapy had a 10-year PFS and OS of 41% and 39%, respectively, compared to 76% and 81%, respectively, for those who achieved a CR (p=0.1 and p=0.056, respectively). Treatment-related mortality within the first 100 days was observed in one patient. Five patients (10%) developed secondary malignancies; three developed MDS (one who had received MOPP induction died with MDS; one had relapsed HL post-aHSCT and died of AML and one is alive with MDS 3+ yrs post-diagnosis). There was one case each of T-cell lymphoma (7 months post-aHSCT) and melanoma. Conclusions: Sequential TLI/chemotherapy conditioning for relapsed/refractory HL for patients with limited or no prior radiotherapy continues to be associated with excellent disease control and long-term survival rates including high-risk populations such as PIF and chemotherapy-resistant disease.

Abstract Background High-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) remains the standard of care for many high-risk/relapsed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHL), T-cell NHL (T-NHL) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), yet most will not achieve sustained remissions. High-dose anti-CD20 radioimmunotherapy (RIT) and ASCT has been successfully employed to address this challenge in B-NHL, yet relapse still occurs potentially due to blockade of target sites by circulating rituximab (R). RIT options are limited for patients with T-NHL and HL. Preclinical data indicate that targeting the panhematopoietic antigen CD45 with RIT can successfully circumvent R blocking in B-NHL and target a variety of T-NHL histologies (Gopal, 2008 & 2009). We thus performed a phase I trial using high-dose anti-CD45 RIT and ASCT for B-NHL, T-NHL, and HL. Methods Patients were ≥18 years old with relapsed, refractory, or high-risk B-NHL, T-NHL, or HL and had acceptable organ function with an ECOG performance status of 0-1 and no detectible human anti-mouse antibodies. They could not have received ≥20 Gy of prior radiation (RT) to critical organs or prior ASCT within 1 year, or prior allogeneic transplant at any time. All patients first received anti-CD45 antibody (BC8) trace-labeled with 131I followed by gamma camera imaging to evaluate biodistribution and estimate organ-specific absorbed doses. Patients then received 131I-BC8 at an absorbed dose determined by the following: Patients with prior RT >20 Gy or prior ASCT started at 10 Gy to the dose-limiting normal organ (Arm A), while others started dose escalation at 20 Gy (Arm B). Subsequent dose escalation/de-escalation followed a two-stage approach (Storer, 2001). ASCT occurred after sufficient radiation decay, and G-CSF was started on day 1. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was determined by Bearman grade III/IV events. The primary objective was to estimate the maximum tolerated dose, defined as that yielding a DLT rate of 25%. Responses were scored using standard criteria (Cheson, 2007). Results Between August 2009 and March 2013, 15 patients were treated. Median age was 62 years (range 20-71); stage III/IV = 11 (73%); median prior regimens = 3 (range 2-12), including 1 prior ASCT; chemorefractory disease (i.e., <PR to the most recent chemotherapy) = 8 (53%); histologies were HL (n = 6), B-NHL (n = 6), and T-NHL (n = 3; see Table). The mean administered 131I activity was 646 mCi (range 344-1064 mCi; 23.9 GBq, range 12.7-39.4 GBq). The liver was the dose-limiting normal organ in 12 patients (2.41-3.98 cGy/mCi). The absorbed dose was escalated to 14 Gy for patients in Arm A (n = 3) and 30 Gy in Arm B (n = 12). Neutrophil (>500/μl) and platelet (>20 K/μl) engraftment occurred a median of 8 (range 10-20) and 12 (range 8-26) days after ASCT, respectively. No DLTs, non-relapse deaths, or non-hematologic toxicities > NCI-CTCAE v3 grade 3 have been observed. Currently, 11 (73%) patients are alive and 7 (47%) are progression-free with a median follow-up of 12 months. Seven (54%) of 13 patients with measurable disease at enrollment had objective disease responses, including 3 of 3 with T-NHL, 3 of 6 with HL, and 1 of 1 with follicular lymphoma (FL; see Table). Conclusion Myeloablative doses of 131I targeted to CD45 are safe and feasible in patients with lymphoma, with no DLTs observed after delivery of up to 30 Gy to the liver. Objective disease responses in heavily-treated B-NHL, T-NHL, and HL were observed. This work has led to current studies using yttrium-90 as the therapeutic radionuclide (given its longer beta pathlength and absence of gamma emission) in anti-CD45 RIT for lymphoma.

3594 Background: Erlotinib is a potent oral TKI of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). At the current recommended daily dose of 150 mg/day there is activity in advanced stage NSCLC, but with frequent grade 1/2 rash and diarrhea. We performed a phase I dose escalation study of erlotinib with a once and twice weekly schedule to assess the PKs, PDs, and to determine if toxicities would be less on an intermittent but high dose schedule. Methods: A standard dose escalation schedule starting at 1,400 mg once/week and 600 mg twice/week with increments of 200 mg to 4 dose cohorts/schedule was utilized with three patients per cohort. A cycle consisted of 3 weeks of therapy. PKs were performed on cycle 1 and 2. PDs on normal skin punch biopsies were performed at baseline and after cycle 1. Tumour evaluation was done following every 2nd cycle. Subjects were treated until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: 32 patients were enrolled from Oct 2004-April 2006. Median age 58 years (28–74 years); median PS 1 (0–2); and median prior palliative systemic regimens 2 (0–6). In the once weekly schedule the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not reached with the top dose of 2,000 mg/week. A median of 2 cycles were delivered (1–14), with 3/13 patients achieving stable disease = 3 months. 4/13 patients had G1 rash and 6/13 patients G1 diarrhea during the first 2 cycles. In the twice weekly schedule the MTD was reached at 1,200 mg twice/week with 2/6 subjects experiencing G3 rash. The recommended dose level is 1,000 mg twice/week. A median of 4 cycles were delivered (1–28) with 2 partial responses, 1 minor response and 6 stable disease = 3 months out of 19 patients in total. G1/2 rash or diarrhea occurred in 13 and 9 patients respectively. No corneal toxicity was seen. The PK data demonstrated a variable but linear pattern. At 1,000 mg twice/week the median Cmax, Tmax and AUC0–24 hr was 6.28 μg/ml, 2 hours and 135 μg.h/ml respectively. PD analysis is ongoing. Conclusions: A once weekly and twice weekly high dose schedule of erlotinib is feasible, with MTD not reached in the once weekly schedule. A recommended dose of 1,000 mg twice/week has clinical activity, is generally well tolerated, and results in significantly higher systemic exposure than the 150 mg once daily dose.
