SummaryBackgroundData suggest selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT) in third-line or subsequent therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer has clinical benefit in patients with colorectal liver metastases with liver-dominant disease after chemotherapy. The FOXFIRE, SIRFLOX, and FOXFIRE-Global randomised studies evaluated the efficacy of combining first-line chemotherapy with SIRT using yttrium-90 resin microspheres in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with liver metastases. The studies were designed for combined analysis of overall survival.MethodsFOXFIRE, SIRFLOX, and FOXFIRE-Global were randomised, phase 3 trials done in hospitals and specialist liver centres in 14 countries worldwide (Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, South Korea, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, the UK, and the USA). Chemotherapy-naive patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (WHO performance status 0 or 1) with liver metastases not suitable for curative resection or ablation were randomly assigned (1:1) to either oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (FOLFOX: leucovorin, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin) or FOLFOX plus single treatment SIRT concurrent with cycle 1 or 2 of chemotherapy. In FOXFIRE, FOLFOX chemotherapy was OxMdG (oxaliplatin modified de Gramont chemotherapy; 85 mg/m2 oxaliplatin infusion over 2 h, L-leucovorin 175 mg or D,L-leucovorin 350 mg infusion over 2 h, and 400 mg/m2 bolus fluorouracil followed by a 2400 mg/m2 continuous fluorouracil infusion over 46 h). In SIRFLOX and FOXFIRE-Global, FOLFOX chemotherapy was modified FOLFOX6 (85 mg/m2 oxaliplatin infusion over 2 h, 200 mg leucovorin, and 400 mg/m2 bolus fluorouracil followed by a 2400 mg/m2 continuous fluorouracil infusion over 46 h). Randomisation was done by central minimisation with four factors: presence of extrahepatic metastases, tumour involvement of the liver, planned use of a biological agent, and investigational centre. Participants and investigators were not masked to treatment. The primary endpoint was overall survival, analysed in the intention-to-treat population, using a two-stage meta-analysis of pooled individual patient data. All three trials have completed 2 years of follow-up. FOXFIRE is registered with the ISRCTN registry, number ISRCTN83867919. SIRFLOX and FOXFIRE-Global are registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, numbers NCT00724503 (SIRFLOX) and NCT01721954 (FOXFIRE-Global).FindingsBetween Oct 11, 2006, and Dec 23, 2014, 549 patients were randomly assigned to FOLFOX alone and 554 patients were assigned FOLFOX plus SIRT. Median follow-up was 43·3 months (IQR 31·6–58·4). There were 411 (75%) deaths in 549 patients in the FOLFOX alone group and 433 (78%) deaths in 554 patients in the FOLFOX plus SIRT group. There was no difference in overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] 1·04, 95% CI 0·90–1·19; p=0·61). The median survival time in the FOLFOX plus SIRT group was 22·6 months (95% CI 21·0–24·5) compared with 23·3 months (21·8–24·7) in the FOLFOX alone group. In the safety population containing patients who received at least ...
4012 Background: Preliminary analyses from the global, multicohort, phase 2 KEYNOTE-059 (NCT02335411) study suggested that safety of pembro + 5-FU + cisplatin is manageable as 1L therapy in pts with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer (cohort 2). We present efficacy and updated safety data from KEYNOTE-059 cohort 2. Methods: Cohort 2 enrolled pts ≥18 y with HER2 – recurrent or metastatic G/GEJ adenocarcinoma, measurable disease, no prior therapy for metastatic/advanced disease, and ECOG PS 0-1. Pts received pembro 200 mg on day 1 of each 21-day cycle + cisplatin 80 mg/m2 for 6 cycles + 5-FU 800 mg/m2 (or capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 in Japan) Q3W for up to 2 y or until disease progression, investigator/pt decision to withdrawal, or unacceptable toxicity. PD-L1+pts had expression in ≥1% tumor or stromal cells using IHC (22C3 antibody). End points were safety and tolerability (primary), ORR (RECIST v1.1, by central review), DOR, PFS, and OS (secondary). Results: Of 25 enrolled pts, 64% were men, 68% were Asian, and 64% had PD-L1+ tumors. Median age was 64 y. At data cutoff (Oct 19, 2016), median duration of follow-up was 12.2 mo (range, 1.8 to 19.6) and 84% of pts had discontinued treatment, mainly owing to clinical or radiologic disease progression (64%). ORR (CR + PR) was 60% (95% CI, 38.7-78.9) in all pts. Overall, 32% of pts had SD (95% CI, 14.9-53.5), 4% had PD (95% CI, 0.1-20.4), and 4% were not evaluable (95% CI, 0.1-20.4). ORR was 68.8% (95% CI, 41.3-89.0) in PD-L1+ pts and 37.5% (95% CI, 8.5-75.5) in PD-L1– pts. Median DOR (range) was 4.6 mo (2.6 to 14.4+) in all pts, 4.6 mo (3.2 to 14.4+) in PD-L1+ pts, and 5.4 mo (2.8 to 8.3+) in PD-L1–pts. Median PFS was 6.6 mo (95% CI, 5.9-10.6); median OS was 13.8 mo (95% CI, 7.3-not estimable). Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 76% of pts. TRAEs led to discontinuation in 3 pts (grade 3 stomatitis, grade 2 hypoacusis, and grade 1 creatinine increase). No TRAEs were fatal. Conclusions: Pembro + 5-FU + cisplatin showed manageable safety and encouraging antitumor activity as 1L therapy for pts with advanced G/GEJ cancer. Further exploration of pembro + 5-FU + cisplatin in this setting is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT02335411.
Optimal therapy of biochemically relapsed prostate cancer (BRPC) after local treatment is elusive. An established modified citrus pectin (PectaSol®, P-MCP), a dietary polysaccharide, is an established antagonist of galectin-3, a carbohydrate-binding protein involved in cancer pathogenesis. Based on PSA dynamics, we report on the safety and the primary outcome analysis of a prospective phase II study of P-MCP in non-metastatic BRPC based. Sixty patients were enrolled, and one patient withdrew after a month. Patients (n = 59) were given P-MCP, 4.8 grams X 3/day, for six months. The primary endpoint was the rate without PSA progression and improved PSA doubling time (PSADT). Secondary endpoints were the rate without radiologic progression and toxicity. Patients that did not progress by PSA and radiologically at six months continued for an additional twelve months. After six months, 78% (n = 46) responded to therapy, with a decreased/stable PSA in 58% (n = 34), or improvement of PSADT in 75% (n = 44), and with negative scans, and entered the second twelve months treatment phase. Median PSADT improved significantly (p = 0.003). Disease progression during the first 6 months was noted in only 22% (n = 13), with PSA progression in 17% (n = 10), and PSA and radiologic progression in 5% (n = 3). No patients developed grade 3 or 4 toxicity.
