Tumor-specific LOH for both chromosomes 1p and 16q identifies a subset of FH Wilms tumor patients who have a significantly increased risk of relapse and death. LOH for these chromosomal regions can now be used as an independent prognostic factor together with disease stage to target intensity of treatment to risk of treatment failure.

Age at diagnosis is a highly significant prognostic factor for survival of children with RTK. Infants have a dismal prognosis, whereas, older children have a more favorable outcome. Higher tumor stage and presence of a CNS lesion were both factors predictive of a poor survival rate.

CCSK patients exhibit an improved RFS from a longer course of therapy when using vincristine, doxorubicin, and dactinomycin, but their long-term survival is unchanged compared with patients receiving 6 months of therapy. The overall survival rates for patients with CCSK have improved from NWTS-3.

ImportanceImmunotherapy combinations with activity in patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer need to be identified.ObjectiveTo determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of regorafenib, ipilimumab, and nivolumab (RIN) and evaluate its activity in an expansion cohort of patients with MSS metastatic colorectal cancer.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis nonrandomized clinical trial was a single-center 3 + 3 dose de-escalation study with an effectiveness expansion cohort at the RP2D. After the identification of the RP2D, a study amendment was executed to explore a regorafenib dose optimization strategy to mitigate skin-related toxic effects. Study enrollment occurred between May 12, 2020, and January 21, 2022. The trial was conducted at a single academic center. A total of 39 patients with MSS metastatic colorectal cancer whose disease progressed after standard chemotherapy and who had not received prior regorafenib or anti–programmed cell death protein 1 therapy were included.InterventionsPatients received regorafenib daily for 21 days every 4 weeks; fixed-dose ipilimumab, 1 mg/kg, intravenously every 6 weeks; and fixed-dose nivolumab, 240 mg intravenously every 2 weeks. Patients were treated until progression, unacceptable toxic effects, or completion of 2 years of therapy.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary end point was RP2D selection. Secondary end points were safety and overall response rate (ORR) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours at the RP2D level.ResultsA total of 39 patients were enrolled, 23 (59.0%) were female, median age was 54 years (range, 25-75 years), 3 were Black (7.7%), and 26 were White (66.7%). No dose-limiting toxic effects were noted in the first 9 patients at the starting dose of RIN, with regorafenib dosed at 80 mg daily. No dose de-escalation was needed. This dose was declared the RP2D. Twenty more patients were enrolled at this level. The ORR, median progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) in the RP2D cohort were 27.6%, 4 months (IQR, 2-9 months), and 20 months (IQR, 7 months to not estimable), respectively. For the 22 patients without liver metastases, the ORR, PFS, and OS were 36.4%, 5 months (IQR, 2-11), and greater than 22 months, respectively. A dose optimization cohort with regorafenib at 40 mg/d on cycle 1 and 80 mg/d on cycle 2 and beyond was associated with lower skin and immune toxic effects but had limited activity with stable disease for 5 of 10 patients as the best response.Conclusions and RelevanceResults of this nonrandomized clinical trial suggest that RIN at the RP2D demonstrated interesting clinical activity in patients with advanced MSS colorectal cancer without liver metastases. These findings should be confirmed in randomized clinical trials.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04362839

e15579 Background: TAS-102 was approved in 2015 after the phase III RECOURSE clinical trial demonstrated a modest improvement in overall survival in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Preclinical models have shown synergistic activity between MEK inhibitors and TAS-102 in RAS-mutant (MT) and PIK3CA/PTEN wild-type (WT) models . We conducted a phase I study of trametinib plus TAS-102 in this molecularly selected refractory metastatic colorectal cancer patient population to explore the safety and efficacy of this combination. Methods: A 3+3 dose de-escalation single arm phase I clinical trial was performed in patients with mCRC who progressed on prior standard therapies but with no prior TAS-102 exposure. Patients received fixed dosing of trametinib 2mg oral daily along with de-escalating doses of TAS-102 beginning at 35 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1-5 and days 8-12 every 28 days. The primary endpoint of this study was to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Secondary objectives included an assessment of safety and toxicity of the combination regimen by CTCAE version 4.0 and any evidence of clinical activity including objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) with this combination per RECIST guideline 1.1. Results: Between March 21, 2018, to March 19, 2020, 25 eligible patients were enrolled in this study. MTD was determined to be TAS-102 35 mg/m2 orally twice daily on days 1-5 and days 8-12 every 28 days with continuous trametinib dosing at 2mg orally daily. No patients achieved a partial or complete response. 5 of 21 evaluable patients (23.81%) achieved a stable disease response. Median PFS was 2 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.70-4.82) while median OS was 7 months (95% CI 6.36-11.48). Treatments were well tolerated with most common grade ≥ 3 adverse events being anemia (20%), neutropenia (12%), leukopenia (8%), diarrhea (8%), rash (4%), and fatigue (4%). Conclusions: Trametinib in combination with TAS-102 demonstrated a manageable safety profile however did not achieve meaningful clinical benefit in patients with RAS-MT and PIK3CA / PTEN-WT refractory mCRC.
