Cetuximab plus chronomodulated irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin as neoadjuvant chemotherapy in colorectal liver metastases: POCHER trial.

ABSTRACT: We assessed the effectiveness of cetuximab plus chronomodulated irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin (FA) and oxaliplatin (L-OHP) (chrono-IFLO) administered as neoadjuvant chemotherapy to increase the resectability of colorectal liver metastases.This was a phase II prospective trial with rate of liver metastases resection as primary end point. Forty-three patients with unresectable metastases were enroled: 9 with metastases >5?cm; 29 with multinodular (>4) disease; 1 with hilar location; 4 with extrahepatic lung disease. Treatment consisted of cetuximab at day 1 plus chronomodulated irinotecan 5-FU, FA and L-OHP for 2-6 days every 2 weeks. After the first 17 patients, doses were reduced for irinotecan to 110?mg?m?², 5-FU to 550?mg?m?² per day and L-OHP to 15?mg?m?² per day.Macroscopically complete resections were performed in 26 out of 43 patients (60%) after a median of 6 (range 3-15) cycles. Partial response was noticed in 34 patients (79%). Median overall survival was 37 months (95% CI: 21-53 months), with a 2-year survival of 68% in the entire population, 80.6% in resected patients and 47.1% in unresected patients (P=0.01). Grade 3/4 diarrhoea occurred in 93% and 36% of patients before and after dose reduction.Cetuximab plus chrono-IFLO achieved 60% complete resectability of colorectal liver metastases.

Project description:PurposeTo verify whether the intensification of the upfront chemotherapy backbone with a modified schedule of modified fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (mFOLFOXIRI) increases the activity of fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin when both regimens are combined with panitumumab as initial treatment for RAS and BRAF wild-type (wt) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).MethodsTRIPLETE was a prospective, open-label, phase III trial in which previously untreated patients with unresectable RAS and BRAF wt mCRC were randomly assigned 1:1 to modified FOLFOX/panitumumab (control group) or mFOLFOXIRI/panitumumab (experimental group) up to 12 cycles, followed by fluorouracil/-leucovorin/panitumumab until disease progression. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST 1.1. Hypothesizing an ORR of 60% in the control group, 432 cases provided 90% power to a two-sided chi-square test for heterogeneity with a two-sided alpha error of .05 to detect ≥ 15% differences between arms (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03231722).ResultsFrom September 2017 to September 2021, 435 patients were enrolled (control group/experimental group: 217/218) in 57 Italian sites. One hundred sixty (73%) patients treated with mFOLFOXIRI plus panitumumab and 165 (76%) patients treated with modified FOLFOX plus panitumumab achieved RECIST response (odds ratio 0.87, 95% CI, 0.56 to 1.34, P = .526). No differences in early tumor shrinkage rate (57%/58%, P = .878) and deepness of response (median: 48%/47%, P = .845) were reported, nor in R0 resection rate (25%/29%, P = .317). No significant difference between arms was reported in terms of progression-free survival (median progression-free survival: 12.7 in the experimental group v 12.3 months in the control group, hazard ratio: 0.88, 95% CI, 0.70 to 1.11, P = .277).ConclusionThe intensification of the upfront chemotherapy backbone in combination with panitumumab does not provide additional benefit in terms of treatment activity at the price of increased gastrointestinal toxicity in patients with RAS and BRAF wt mCRC.

Project description:IntroductionLiposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) plus fluorouracil/leucovorin (5-FU/LV) has shown clinical benefit in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPAC) who progressed on gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. However, its role in patients with mPAC previously treated with conventional irinotecan-containing chemotherapy has not been appropriately investigated.MethodsIn this retrospective analysis, patients with mPAC who received nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV after conventional irinotecan-containing regimen between January 2017 and March 2020, were identified from two referral cancer centers in South Korea. The ratio of time to progression (TTP) with nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV to TTP with conventional irinotecan (TTPr) was analyzed with respect to the duration and cumulative dose of conventional irinotecan treatment.ResultsIn total, 35 patients treated with nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV after the irinotecan-containing regimen were analyzed. The median age was 58 years and 16 (46%) patients were male. The median duration of conventional irinotecan therapy was 4.6 months at a median cumulative dose of 1230 mg. The objective response rate of nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV was 2.9%, and stable disease was achieved in 11 (31.4%) patients. During the median follow-up of 9.2 [95% confidence interval (CI): 7.8-10.5] months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 2.0 (95% CI: 1.4-2.6) months and 4.4 (95% CI: 3.6-5.7) months, respectively. The 6-month PFS and OS rates were 16.3% and 37.5%, respectively. The median TTPr was 0.41 (range, 0.07-2.07), showing a negative correlation with the cumulative dose of prior irinotecan therapy (R = -0.37, p = 0.041). A tentative negative correlation between TTPr and duration of prior irinotecan therapy was observed (R = -0.35, p = 0.062). The most common grade 3-4 toxicities were neutropenia (20%) and fatigue (8.6%).ConclusionNal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV showed modest effectiveness and manageable toxicities for patients with mPAC previously treated with conventional irinotecan-containing chemotherapy. The cumulative dose of prior conventional irinotecan therapy may be inversely correlated with the effectiveness of nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV.

Project description:ImportancePerioperative chemotherapy is a potential treatment for locally advanced gastric cancer. However, the optimal chemotherapy regimen remains unknown.ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and efficacy of S-1 plus oxaliplatin (SOX) vs fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) as a perioperative chemotherapy regimen for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer.Design, setting, and participantsIn this phase 3, open-label, multicenter, randomized clinical trial, patients from 12 Chinese hospitals were enrolled between June 2011 and August 2016, with a last follow-up date of September 2019. The primary tumor was evaluated as either invading the serosa or the adjacent structures with or without metastatic lymph nodes, and with no evidence of distant metastases. Data were analyzed from December 2019 to June 2020.InterventionsPatients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either 6 perioperative (2-4 preoperative and 2-4 postoperative) 3-week cycles of 130 mg/m2 oxaliplatin on day 1 and 80 to 120 mg/d S-1 orally daily for 2 weeks (SOX) or 130 mg/m2 oxaliplatin, 400 mg/m2 fluorouracil, 400 mg/m2 leucovorin, and 2400 mg/m2 fluorouracil as 46-hour infusion on day 1 (FOLFOX).Main outcomes and measuresThe primary end point was 3-year overall survival (OS). An absolute noninferiority margin of -8% was chosen.ResultsA total of 583 patients were enrolled; 293 were randomized to the SOX group and 290 were randomized to the FOLFOX group. Twelve patients (2.1%) refused preoperative chemotherapy (5 patients in the SOX group and 7 patients in the FOLFOX group), leaving a total of 288 patients in the SOX group (median [range] age, 61 [24 to 78] years; 197 men [68.4%]) and 283 patients in the FOLFOX group (median [range] age, 62 [24 to 80] years; 209 men [73.9%]) who received preoperative chemotherapy. The 3-year OS rate was 75.2% (95% CI, 70.3% to 80.5%) in the SOX group and 67.8% (95% CI, 62.5% to 73.5%) in the FOLFOX group. The absolute difference of 3-year OS rate between the 2 groups was 7.4% (95% CI, -0.1% to 14.9%), which was greater than the prespecified noninferiority margin (-8%) and showed the noninferiority of perioperative chemotherapy with SOX compared with FOLFOX.Conclusions and relevanceIn this randomized clinical trial, SOX was noninferior to FOLFOX as perioperative chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer and could be recommended as an alternative treatment for these patients in Asia.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01364376.
