Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study evaluates the utility of NGS analysis of circulating free DNA (cfDNA), which incorporates small amounts of tumor DNA (ctDNA), at diagnosis or at disease progression (PD) in NSCLC patients. METHODS Comprehensive genomic profiling on cfDNA by NGS were performed in NSCLC patients at diagnosis (if tissue was unavailable/insufficient) or at PD to investigate potential druggable molecular aberrations. Blood samples were collected as routinary diagnostic procedures, DNA was extracted, and the NextSeq 550 Illumina platform was used to run the Roche Avenio ctDNA Expanded Kit for molecular analyses. Gene variants were classified accordingly to the ESCAT score. RESULTS A total of 106 patients were included in this study; 44 % of cases were requested because of tissue unavailability at the diagnosis and 56 % were requested at the PD. At least one driver alteration was observed in 62 % of cases at diagnosis. Driver druggable variants classified as ESCAT level I were detected in 34 % of patients, including ALK-EML4, ROS1-CD74, EGFR, BRAF, KRAS p.G12C, PI3KCA. In the PD group, most patients were EGFR-positive, progressing to a first line-therapy. Sixty-three percent of patients had at least one driver alteration detected in blood and 17 % of patients had a known biological mechanism of resistance allowing further therapeutic decisions. CONCLUSIONS The present study confirms the potential of liquid biopsy to detect tumour molecular heterogeneity in NSCLC patients at the diagnosis and at PD, demonstrating that a significant number of druggable mutations and mechanisms of resistance can be detected by NGS analysis on ctDNA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors have been approved and currently used in the clinical management of recurrent and metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) patients. The reported benefit in clinical trials is variable and heterogeneous. Our study aims at exploring and comparing the predictive role of gene-expression signatures with classical biomarkers for immunotherapy-treated R/M HNSCC patients in a multicentric phase IIIb trial. METHODS Clinical data were prospectively collected in Nivactor tiral (single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase IIIb clinical trial in platinum-refractory HNSCC treated with nivolumab). Findings were validated in an external independent cohort of immune-treated HNSCC patients, divided in long-term and short-term survivors (overall survival >18 and <6 months since the start of immunotherapy, respectively). Pretreatment tumor tissue specimen from immunotherapy-treated R/M HNSCC patients was used for PD-L1 (Tumor Proportion Score; Combined Positive Score (CPS)) and Tumor Mutational Burden (Oncopanel TSO500) evaluation and gene expression profiling; classical biomarkers and immune signatures (retrieved from literature) were challenged in the NIVACTOR dataset. RESULTS Cluster-6 (Cl6) stratification of NIVACTOR cases in high score (n=16, 20%) and low score (n=64, 80%) demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival in the high-score cases (p=0.00028; HR=4.34, 95% CI 1.84 to 10.22) and discriminative ability reached area under the curve (AUC)=0.785 (95% CI 0.603 to 0.967). The association of high-score Cl6 with better outcome was also confirmed in: (1) NIVACTOR progression-free survival (p=4.93E-05; HR=3.71, 95% CI 1.92 to 7.18) and objective-response-rate (AUC=0.785; 95% CI 0.603 to 0.967); (2) long survivors versus short survivors (p=0.00544). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, Cl6 was independent from Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, PDL1-CPS, and primary tumor site. CONCLUSIONS These data highlight the presence of underlying biological differences able to predict survival and response following treatment with immunotherapy in platinum-refractory R/M HNSCC that could have translational implications improving treatment selection.

Abstract
AIMS To explore the cardiac safety of adjuvant Non-Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (NPL-DOX) plus Cyclophosphamide (CTX) followed by weekly Paclitaxel, in elderly women (≥ 65 years) with high-risk breast cancer. Previously, we described no symptomatic cardiac events within the first 12 months from starting treatment. We now reported the updated results after a median follow-up 76 months. METHODS The cardiac activity was evaluated with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) echocardiograms assessments, before starting chemotherapy and every 6 months, until 30 months from baseline, then yearly for at least 5 years. RESULTS Forty-seven women were recruited by two Units of Medical Oncology (Ethics Committee authorization CESM-AOUP, 3203/2011; EudraCT identification number: 2010-024067-41, for Pisa and Pontedera Hospitals). An episode of grade 3 CHF (NCI-CTCAE, version 3.0) occurred after 18 months the beginning of chemotherapy. The echocardiograms assessments were performed comparing the LVEF values of each patient evaluated at fixed period of time, compared to baseline. We observed a slight changed in terms of mean values at 48, 60, 72 and 84 months. At these time points, a statistically significant reduction of - 3.2%, - 4.6%, - 6.4% and - 7.1%, respectively, was observed. However, LVEF remained above 50% without translation in any relevant clinical signs. No other cardiac significant episodes were reported. To this analysis, in 13 patients (28%) occurred disease relapse and, of them, 11 (23%) died due to metastatic disease. Eight patients died of cancer-unrelated causes. CONCLUSIONS The combination including NPL-DOX in elderly patients revealed low rate of cardiac toxic effects. Comparative trials are encouraged.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) is an enzyme downstream of the CDK4/6 pathway, with a critical role in DNA synthesis; serum TK1 activity (sTKa) is a novel liquid biopsy biomarker of tumour cell proliferation. METHODS The phase IIIb, BioItaLEE trial (NCT03439046) collected sera from postmenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC) treated with first-line ribociclib plus letrozole at baseline, day 15 of cycle 1 (C1D15), day 1 of cycle 2 (C2D1), and at first imaging. Associations between sTKa assessed at different time points or sTKa dynamic patterns, and progression-free survival (PFS) were evaluated using multivariate Cox models. RESULTS Overall, 287 patients were enroled. Median follow-up was 26.9 months. High sTKa (>median) at baseline was associated with higher risk of progression (hazard ratio [HR], 2.21; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.45, 3.37; P = 0.0002); similar results were observed for patients with high sTKa levels at C1D15 and C2D1. Early sTKa dynamic patterns were strongly predictive of PFS. The pattern with high sTKa levels at C2D1 following initial decrease at C1D15 was associated with higher risk of progression versus the pattern with low sTKa levels at both time points (HR, 2.89; 95% CI, 1.57, 5.31; P = 0.0006), while the pattern with high sTKa levels at C1D15 was associated with the shortest PFS (HR, 5.65; CI: 2.84, 11.2; P < 0.0001). Baseline and dynamic sTKa changes provided independent information. CONCLUSIONS sTKa appears to be a new promising prognostic and pharmacodynamic biomarker in patients with HR+/HER2- ABC treated with ribociclib plus letrozole as first-line therapy.

Abstract
6051 Background: In platinum-resistant recurrent-metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients (pts), survival improvements have been achieved with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), however this benefit is limited to a relatively small subgroup of pts. Predictive biomarkers are still under investigation and their contribution to the clinic has been limited. An immune-related cluster (Cl6) has been defined by means of a metanalysis in locally advanced HNSCC. Methods: Gene expression profiling was performed on two cohorts of platinum resistant R/M HNSCC pts treated with ICI alone: i) 20 patients as training set, divided in long-term (OS >18 months; n=12) and short-term (OS < 6 months; n=8) survivors matched according to site of recurrence (distant metastases only, or locoregional recurrence with/out metastases); ii) 80 patients enrolled in a phase II trial (EudraCT number: 2017-000562-30; NIVACTOR study) as testing set. The molecular subtyping stratification (De Cecco, Oncotarget 2015) was applied. Subsequently, a score was determined between each sample and the centroids for the 6 clusters previously identified. The threshold point was imputed in the training set as the closest value to the observed prevalence. A Cox multivariable analysis including TMB, CPS and TPS PD-L1 status, age, tumoral subsite and performance status (PS) was performed. Results: Among all the clusters, Cl6 turned out to be significant and applied to training set it provided evidence to discriminate pts’ survivals (AUC=0.86, 95%CI=0.7-1.0; p=2E-05). The stratification based on Cl-6 along with the cut-off point defined in the training set were challenged in the testing set: samples were divided in 28 (35%) having high Cl-6 scores and 52 (65%) with low scores, reaching HR=0.46 (95% CI= 0.27-0.76; p=0.0024). Multivariate analysis showed that only Cl6 (high vs low, HR=0.44; p=0.00443) and PS (1,2 vs 0, HR 1.85; p=0.02686) resulted to be significant on pts’ OS. Conclusions: By analysing two series of pts receiving immunotherapy alone, we identified an immune-related gene expression signature, able to discriminate the prognosis of platinum-resistant R/M HNSCC pts. The multivariate analysis confirmed the immune-related Cl6 as factor linked to outcome in pts treated with immunotherapy, as well as it confirmed the importance of PS. An analysis of the signature on pts receiving first line treatment with immunotherapy is currently ongoing. [Table: see text]

Abstract
1012 Background: Independent early dynamic assessment (baseline [D0] and day 15 of first cycle [D15]) of both TKa and ctDNA was prognostic and predictive in pts with HR+, HER2− ABC treated with RIB+LET enrolled in the BioItaLEE trial (NCT03439046). Here we performed a combined analysis of these two biomarkers. Methods: 287 pts were enrolled in the study. Overall, early dynamics were assessable for both biomarkers in 241/287 pts (84.0%). Methods applied for ctDNA and TKa evaluation were previously reported. For ctDNA, samples were defined as wild type (WT) if no mutations were observed at D0 and D15, ctDNA positive (+) if with or negative (-) if without a primary target mutation at D15. Samples were TKa+ or TKa- if TKa levels were above or below the limit of detection at D15. According to ctDNA and TKa pts were classified as: WT/TKa-, WT/TKa+, ctDNA-/TKa-, ctDNA-/TKa+, ctDNA+/TKa- and ctDNA+/TKa+ and then divided into 3 main study groups (GRs) WT/TKa- (GR1, n = 126), WT/TKa+, ctDNA-/TKa-, ctDNA-/TKa+, ctDNA+/TKa- (GR2, n = 96) and ctDNA+/TKa+ (GR3, n = 19). The association between biomarkers and PFS (progression-free survival) was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariate Cox models with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusted for clinical variables. Results: Median follow-up was 26.9 months. In multivariate Cox models both TKa dynamics and mutational tumor burden at D15 were independently predictive of PFS. Hazard ratios (HRs) were 0.37 (95% CI: 0.23-0.60; p < 0.0001) for WT vs ctDNA+ and 0.56 (95% CI: 0.32-1.00; p = 0.0506) for ctDNA- vs ctDNA+. For TKa, HR was 0.49 (95% CI: 0.30-0.80; p = 0.0040) in TKa- vs TKa+. Interestingly combining the two variables further improve prediction of outcome. HRs for TKa- vs TKa+ were 0.17 (95% CI: 0.09-0.32; p < 0.0001), 0.28 (95% CI: 0.13-0.59; p = 0.0009) and 0.44 (95% CI: 0.23-0.86; p = 0.0169) in WT, ctDNA- and ctDNA+ pts, respectively. Considering the 3 study GRs, median PFSs (95% CI) were not reached (27.89, NE), 19.58 (13.83, 23.39) and 6.65 (2.83, 12.16) months in GR1, GR2 and GR3, respectively, p < 0.001. At multivariate Cox models, HRs of GR1 and GR2 compared with GR3 were 0.17 (95% CI: 0.09-0.32; p < 0.0001) and 0.37 (95% CI: 0.20-0.67; p = 0.001) respectively. Conclusions: These findings suggest that combining the early dynamic assessment of both ctDNA and TKa may improve outcome prediction in pts treated with RIB+LET. Pts with ctDNA+/TKa+ are strongly enriched for non-responders. TKa and ctDNA capture different features of tumor biological activity and their combination warrants further evaluation in relation to other treatments, settings, and diseases.

Abstract
Cardio-oncology is now part of the standard clinical approach for patients with cancer and cannot be overlooked anymore. While its scientific background is solid and its clinical relevance is well known, its application in daily practice varies greatly among hospitals. To provide the best cardio-oncology care to cancer patients and to make cardio-oncology's clinical use uniform, we developed a shared multidisciplinary proposal for a dedicated clinical pathway. Our proposition presents the minimum requirements needed to which this path caters for, identifies patient categories to be entered into the path, highlights the role of a specific inter-hospital clinical and imaging network and indicates follow-up strategies during and after oncological treatments. The proposed pathway is based on some key elements and is easily adaptable to different hospitals with minimal changes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The availability of new drugs in the chemo-refractory setting opened the way to the concepts of treatment sequencing in mCRC. However, the impact of later line options in the therapeutic route of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients and the attrition rate across subsequent lines of therapy are not well established. METHODS We performed a pooled analysis of treatments administered after the 2nd disease progression in 1187 mCRC patients enrolled in the randomized phase III TRIBE and TRIBE2 studies, where upfront FOLFOXIRI/bev was compared with FOLFOX or FOLFIRI/bev. Per each line, we assessed the attrition rate, treatment choices and clinical outcomes. RESULTS 625 (53%), 326 (27%) and 136 (11%) patients received a systemic treatment after the 2nd, 3rd and 4th disease progression, respectively. PFS and objective response rate decreased along each line. RAS/BRAF wild-type patients received more likely a 3rd line (75%) compared with RAS (66%, p = 0.005) and BRAF (66%, p = 0.11) mutants. In 3rd line, 67% of RAS/BRAF wild-type patients received anti-EGFRs, achieving longer PFS with respect to other therapies (6.4 vs 3.9 months, p = 0.02). A trend towards longer 3rd line OS was observed in TRIBE patients (9.9 vs 7.2 months, p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS A relevant attrition rate across subsequent lines of therapy is evident, and more pronounced in RAS and BRAF mutated patients, thus highlighting the relevance of the choice of the upfront treatment. The efficacy of anti-EGFR agents among RAS/BRAF wild-type patients unexposed to anti-EGFRs is higher than other options. The reintroduction of chemotherapy remains frequent in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We performed a pooled analysis of TRIBE and TRIBE2 studies to assess the efficacy and safety of the intensification of upfront chemotherapy backbone - from doublets to the triplet FOLFOXIRI - in combination with bevacizumab (bev) in patients with early-onset metastatic colorectal cancer (EO-mCRC; aged <50 years) and to explore whether EO-mCRCs have a peculiar tumour genomic profiling. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subgroup analyses according to age (<50 versus ≥50 years) and treatment (FOLFOXIRI/bev versus doublets/bev) were carried out for rates of any grade and grade ≥3 (≥G3) overall and singular adverse events, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR). Tumour genomic profiling was obtained using a DNA-based next-generation sequencing platform. RESULTS Of 1187 patients included, 194 (16%) patients were aged <50 years. Females were more frequently diagnosed with EO-mCRC (P = 0.04). Patients aged <50 years showed a lower risk of ≥G3 neutropenia (P = 0.07), diarrhoea (P = 0.04), asthenia (P = 0.008) and a higher risk of any grade nausea (P < 0.01) and vomiting (P < 0.01). Patients receiving FOLFOXIRI/bev more frequently experienced ≥G3 chemotherapy-related adverse events respect to doublets/bev, regardless of age (Pinteraction = 0.60). FOLFOXIRI/bev was associated to a lower incidence of neutropenia (P = 0.04) and asthenia (P = 0.01) in patients <50 years old, than those aged ≥50 years. PFS, OS and ORR did not differ according to age (PFS P = 0.81, OS P = 0.44, ORR P = 0.50) and no interaction between age and the benefit from the intensification of upfront chemotherapy was observed (PFS Pinteraction = 0.72, OS Pinteraction = 0.54, ORR Pinteraction = 0.65). Genomic profiling was assessed in 296 patients, showing an enrichment of FBXW7 and POLE mutations in EO-mCRC. CONCLUSIONS Upfront FOLFOXIRI/bev shows a favourable efficacy/safety balance in EO-mCRC.

Abstract
To investigate pharmacogenetic interactions among VEGF-A, VEGFR-2, IL-8, HIF-1α, EPAS-1, and TSP-1 SNPs and their role on progression-free survival (PFS) in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients treated with bevacizumab plus first-line paclitaxel or with paclitaxel alone. Analyses were performed on germline DNA, and SNPs were investigated by real-time PCR technique. The multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) methodology was applied to investigate the interaction between SNPs. The present study was an explorative, ambidirectional cohort study: 307 patients from 11 Oncology Units were evaluated retrospectively from 2009 to 2016, then followed prospectively (NCT01935102). Two hundred and fifteen patients were treated with paclitaxel and bevacizumab, whereas 92 patients with paclitaxel alone. In the bevacizumab plus paclitaxel group, the MDR software provided two pharmacogenetic interaction profiles consisting of the combination between specific VEGF-A rs833061 and VEGFR-2 rs1870377 genotypes. Median PFS for favorable genetic profile was 16.8 vs. the 10.6 months of unfavorable genetic profile (p = 0.0011). Cox proportional hazards model showed an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.64 (95% CI, 0.5–0.9; p = 0.004). Median OS for the favorable genetic profile was 39.6 vs. 28 months of unfavorable genetic profile (p = 0.0103). Cox proportional hazards model revealed an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.71 (95% CI, 0.5–1.01; p = 0.058). In the 92 patients treated with paclitaxel alone, the results showed no effect of the favorable genetic profile, as compared to the unfavorable genetic profile, either on the PFS (p = 0.509) and on the OS (p = 0.732). The pharmacogenetic statistical interaction between VEGF-A rs833061 and VEGFR-2 rs1870377 genotypes may identify a population of bevacizumab-treated patients with a better PFS.

Abstract
Background: ctDNA analysis is emerging as an attractive non-invasive approach to characterize tumor biology, describe its evolution over time, and predict treatment benefit. Here, we assessed the prognostic and predictive role of baseline and dynamic ctDNA analysis in HR+/HER2- aBC patients (pts) treated with R+L. Methods: 287 postmenopausal pts were enrolled in the BioItaLEE trial (NCT03439046). Liquid biopsies were collected at baseline (D0; n=263), day 15 of cycle 1 (D15; n=238), day 1 of cycle 2 (C2D1; n=241) and at first imaging (FI, at approximately 12 weeks; n=206). ctDNA analysis was carried out using a 533-amplicon Custom AmpliSeq HD Panel, with amplicons covering the coding exons of 39 BC-related genes (limit of detection: 0.1%). Target mutations were defined as single-nucleotide variant (SNV) or Insertion/Deletion detected at D0. When multiple target mutations were detected, the one with the highest variant allele frequency (VAF) was considered. The association between pre-treatment and on-treatment ctDNA dynamics with progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed using Multivariate Cox models. VAF clearance was defined as 100% decrease in a target mutation. Results: Median follow-up was 26.9 months and median PFS was 23.39 (20.8-NE) months. At baseline, target mutations were detected in 113 pts (43.0%), whereas 150 pts were wild-type (wt). Mean (SD) pre-treatment VAF at D0 was 11.3% (14.4). The absence of a target mutation at D0 was associated with good prognosis (HR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.27–0.61; p<0.0001). Considering early ctDNA dynamics, a significant VAF reduction was observed at D15 and C2D1 with a mean (SD) change of -64.3% (55.9) and -68.6% (52.2), respectively. In pts with a target mutation detected at baseline, early VAF clearance was observed in 47.1% of pts at D15 and in 52.4% of pts at C2D1. Clearance at D15 or C2D1 was associated with improved PFS (D15, HR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.28-0.91, p=0.0228; C2D1, HR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.25-0.78, p=0.0052). Pts achieving clearance at D15, which was maintained at C2D1 (39.4%) had the lowest risk of progression compared to those who had no clearance at any or both timepoints (HR: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.20-0.79; p=0.084). Monitoring of the 150 pts without a detectable target mutation at baseline revealed a new, detectable mutation at later timepoints (D15, C2D1 and FI) in 34 pts (22.7%). The absence of new mutations was associated with a lower risk of progression (HR: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.24-0.85; p=0.0143). Considering all time points individually, D15 was the most informative of patient outcome. Indeed, pts without mutation at D15 (42.9%) had an extremely favorable outcome, either because they achieved early treatment-related clearance or maintained baseline absence of a target mutation (HR: 0.32, 95% CI: 0.20-0.51; p<0.0001). Notably, in pts with detectable target mutation at D15, a VAF below the median showed a trend for better prognosis versus high VAF (HR: 0.56, 95% CI: 0.30-1.04; p=0.065). Conclusions: The presence of a detectable mutation in baseline liquid biopsies appears to be a negative prognostic factor. Within this high-risk group, early VAF clearance during the first R+L cycle was informative of treatment benefit and associated with a lower risk of progression. Monitoring of ctDNA in patients without baseline mutations demonstrated that the detection of new mutations by FI assessment was associated with worse outcome. Overall, pre-treatment and early dynamics of ctDNA (assessed by NGS) represent promising prognostic and predictive biomarkers in patients with HR+/HER2- aBC treated with ribociclib/letrozole in the first-line. Further studies are warranted to validate the clinical utility of these biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retrospective series suggest that bevacizumab-induced hypertension (HTN) is a prognostic and potentially predictive biomarker of efficacy of the antiangiogenic drug in the upfront treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. The immortal-time bias and the effect of pre-existing HTN might affect these findings. We conducted a pooled, post hoc analysis of 2 prospective randomized trials of chemotherapy plus bevacizumab in mCRC, and performed a systematic review of the available literature focusing on how the immortal-time bias was taken into account and how pre-existing HTN potentially requiring the use of antihypertensive drugs was managed. METHODS The pooled-analysis included patients enrolled in the phase III TRIBE and TRIBE-2 studies that compared upfront FOLFOXIRI + bevacizumab to FOLFIRI or FOLFOX + bevacizumab, respectively. Association between HTN and survival outcomes was assessed by incorporating a time-dependent Cox regression model to consider the time-dependency of the probability of HTN onset during the treatment. The systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. RESULTS The systematic review retrieved 14 eligible and highly heterogeneous studies. A positive prognostic impact of bevacizumab-induced HTN was reported in the 58% of the analyses reporting Progression Free Survival (PFS) and in the 54% of the analyses reporting Overall Survival (OS) data. Immortal-time bias was incorporated in 4 studies (28%). In TRIBE and TRIBE-2 study populations (N = 1175), patients experiencing ≥ G2 HTN during first-line bevacizumab administration showed longer PFS (median: 14.7 versus 10.3 months, p < 0.001) and OS (median: 31.7 versus 24.2 months, p < 0.001). The association with OS retained statistical significance after correction for time-dependency (p = 0.003) and was confirmed in the multivariable model including HTN as a time-dependent variable (p = 0.02). Moreover, in patients with pre-existing HTN, no difference in terms of PFS and OS was observed compared with the subgroup of patients who never experienced ≥G2 HTN (HR 1.01, p = 0.86 and HR 1.02, p = 0.78 respectively. CONCLUSIONS Bevacizumab-induced HTN during the first-line treatment of mCRC is an independent prognostic factor, also adopting a time-dependency correction. Toxicity should be interpreted as a time-dependent variable when exploring its association with clinical outcome.

Abstract
Question What is the effect of adding capecitabine to trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) treatment in patients with previously treated ERBB2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer? Findings In this phase 1/2 randomized clinical trial of 161 patients with previously treated ERBB2-positive metastatic breast cancer, the overall response rate was 44% and 36% in the combination and single-agent T-DM1 arms, respectively; median overall survival was not estimable and 24.7 months. Adverse events occurred in 95% (grade 3-4: 44%) and 89% (grade 3-4: 41%) of patients in each arm, respectively. Meaning Adding capecitabine to T-DM1 increases toxic effects and does not improve clinical outcomes vs T-DM1 alone for previously treated ERBB2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Importance ERBB2 (HER2)-targeted therapy provides benefits in metastatic breast cancer (mBC) and gastric cancer, but additional treatments are needed to maximize efficacy and quality of life. Objective To determine maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) plus capecitabine in patients with previously treated ERBB2-positive mBC and locally advanced/metastatic gastric cancer (LA/mGC) (phase 1) and the efficacy and safety of this combination vs T-DM1 alone in patients with mBC (phase 2). Design, Setting, and Participants The MTD in phase 1 was assessed using a 3 + 3 design with capecitabine dose modification. Phase 2 was an open-label, randomized, international multicenter study of patients with mBC treated with T-DM1 plus capecitabine or T-DM1 alone. Eligible patients had previously treated ERBB2-positive mBC or LA/mGC with no prior chemotherapy treatment for advanced disease. Interventions Patients in the phase 1 mBC cohort received capecitabine (750 mg/m2, 700 mg/m2, or 650 mg/m2 twice daily, days 1-14 of a 3-week cycle) plus T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg every 3 weeks. Patients with LA/mGC received capecitabine at the mBC phase 1 MTD, de-escalating as needed, plus T-DM1 2.4 mg/kg weekly. In phase 2, patients with mBC were randomized (1:1) to receive capecitabine (at the phase 1 MTD) plus T-DM1 or T-DM1 alone. Main Outcomes and Measures The phase 1 primary objective was to identify the MTD of capecitabine plus T-DM1. The phase 2 primary outcome was investigator-assessed overall response rate (ORR). Results In phase 1, the median (range) age was 54.0 (37-71) and 57.5 (53-70) years for patients with mBC and patients with LA/mGC, respectively. The capecitabine MTD was identified as 700 mg/m2 in 11 patients with mBC and 6 patients with LA/mGC evaluable for dose-limiting toxic effects. In phase 2, between October 2014 and April 2016, patients with mBC (median [range] age, 52.0 [28-80] years) were randomized to receive combination therapy (n = 81) or T-DM1 (n = 80). The ORR was 44% (36 of 81 patients) and 36% (29 of 80 patients) in the combination and T-DM1 groups, respectively (difference, 8.2%; 90% CI, −4.5 to 20.9; P = .34; clinical cutoff, May 31, 2017). Adverse events (AEs) were reported in 78 of 82 patients (95%) in the combination group, with 36 (44%) experiencing grade 3-4 AEs, and 69 of 78 patients (88%) in the T-DM1 group, with 32 (41%) experiencing grade 3-4 AEs. No grade 5 AEs were reported. Conclusions and Relevance Adding capecitabine to T-DM1 did not statistically increase ORR associated with T-DM1 in patients with previously treated ERBB2-positive mBC. The combination group reported more AEs, but with no unexpected toxic effects. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01702558

Abstract
BACKGROUND The phase III TRIBE and TRIBE2 studies randomized metastatic colorectal cancer patients to first-line FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab or a doublet (FOLFIRI or FOLFOX)/bevacizumab. The studies demonstrated a significant benefit from the triplet at the price of an increased incidence of chemotherapy-related adverse events (AEs). In both trials, males and females aged between 18 and 70 years with ECOG PS ≤2 and between 71 and 75 years with ECOG PS = 0 were eligible. We investigated the effect of FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab versus doublets/bevacizumab according to age and gender. PATIENTS AND METHODS Subgroup analyses according to age (<70 versus 70-75 years) and gender were carried out for overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and AE rates. RESULTS Of 1187 patients, 1005 (85%) were aged <70 years and 182 (15%) 70-75 years; 693 (58%) were males and 494 (42%) females. There was no evidence of interaction between age or gender and the benefit provided by the intensification of the upfront chemotherapy in terms of ORR and PFS, or the increased risk of experiencing G3/4 AEs. Elderly patients and females experienced higher rates of overall G3/4 AEs (73% versus 60%, P < 0.01 and 69% versus 57%, P < 0.01, respectively). Notably, in the FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab subgroup, G3/4 diarrhea and febrile neutropenia occurred in 27% and 16% of elderly patients, respectively, while females reported high incidences of any grade nausea (67%) and vomiting (50%). CONCLUSIONS The improvements in terms of ORR and PFS of FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab versus doublets/bevacizumab are independent of gender and age, with a similar relative increase in AEs among elderly patients and females. Initial dose reductions and possibly primary G-CSF prophylaxis should be recommended for patients between 70 and 75 years old treated with FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab, and a careful management of antiemetic prophylaxis should be considered among females.

Abstract
Background Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), defined as absolute neutrophils count divided by absolute lymphocytes count, has been reported as poor prognostic factor in several neoplastic diseases but only a few data are available about unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients (pts). The aim of our study was to evaluate the prognostic and predictive role of NLR in the TRIBE trial. Patients and methods Pts enrolled in TRIBE trial were included. TRIBE is a multicentre phase III trial randomizing unresectable and previously untreated mCRC pts to receive FOLFOXIRI or FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab. A cut-off value of 3 was adopted to discriminate pts with low (NLR < 3) versus high (NLR ≥ 3) NLR, as primary analysis. As secondary analysis, NLR was treated as an ordinal variable with three levels based on terciles distribution. Results NLR at baseline was available for 413 patients. After multiple imputation at univariate analysis, patients with high NLR had significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) [hazard ratio (HR) 1.27 (95% CI 1.05-1.55), P = 0.017] and overall survival (OS) [HR 1.56 (95% CI 1.25-1.95), P < 0.001] than patients with low NLR. In the multivariable model, NLR retained a significant association with OS [HR 1.44 (95% CI 1.14-1.82), P = 0.014] but not with PFS [HR 1.18 (95% CI 0.95-1.46), P = 0.375]. No interaction effect between treatment arm and NLR was evident in terms of PFS (P for interaction = 0.536) or OS (P for interaction = 0.831). Patients with low [HR 0.84 (95% CI 0.64-1.08)] and high [HR 0.73 (95% CI 0.54-0.97)] NLR achieved similar PFS benefit from the triplet and consistent results were obtained in terms of OS [HR 0.83 (95% CI 0.62-1.12) for low NLR; HR 0.82 (95% CI 0.59-1.12) for high NLR]. Conclusion This study confirmed the prognostic role of NLR in mCRC pts treated with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in the first line, showing the worse prognosis of pts with high NLR. The advantage of the triplet is independent of NLR at baseline.

Abstract
3534 Background: Based on retrospective experiences, gender seems to affect the safety profile of chemotherapy (CT), with a higher incidence of CT-related adverse events (AEs) among females than males. Here we focus on the impact of gender on the toxicity of FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab (bev) as compared with doublets (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI)/bev in two randomized phase III studies by GONO: TRIBE and TRIBE2. Methods: The risk of experiencing CT-related AEs in males and females was estimated in univariable analysis in the overall safety population and according to treatment arms (doublets/bev and FOLFOXIRI/bev). In order to assess the independent weight of gender on the risk of developing AEs, multivariable logistic regression models were built. Results: Among 1187 patients enrolled in TRIBE and TRIBE2 studies, 1176 (684 males, 58%, and 492 females, 42%) were included in the safety population. Overall, women had a significantly higher risk of CT-related AEs, in particular gastrointestinal and hematologic AEs, asthenia and alopecia, independently of the treatment arm. The risk of CT-related AEs was increased with FOLFOXIRI/bev vs doublets/bev independently of gender (p for interaction: 0.329). Notably, among women treated with FOLFOXIRI/bev 50% and 68% experienced any grade of vomiting and nausea, respectively. Conclusions: Female mCRC patients have a higher risk to develop CT-related AEs. In women treated with FOLFOXIRI/bev the high incidence of nausea and vomiting may suggest the need for an intensification of the antiemetic prophylaxis. [Table: see text]

Abstract
3536 Background: FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab is a valuable upfront option in mCRC based on results of phase III TRIBE and TRIBE2 studies: 1187 pts aged 18–70 years with ECOG performance status (PS) ≤ 2 or between 71–75 years with an ECOG PS of 0 were randomized to receive first-line FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab or a doublet (FOLFIRI in TRIBE and mFOLFOX6 in TRIBE2)/bevacizumab. Here, we aimed at assessing the effect of the intensification of the upfront chemotherapy (triplet versus doublet) in terms of safety and efficacy in pts aged < 70 versus 70-75. Methods: Subgroup analyses for ORR, PFS, G3/4 overall adverse events (AEs), chemo-related and bevacizumab-related AEs were performed according to baseline age. Results: 182 (15%) out of 1187 pts were 70-75 years old (97 in the FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab and 85 in the doublets/bevacizumab arms). The benefit provided by the intensification of the upfront chemotherapy was independent of the age subgroup in terms of both ORR (p for interaction = 0.684) and PFS (p for interaction = 0.634). The risk of overall and chemo-related G3/4 AEs was increased with the triplet independently of age (p for interaction = 0.736 and 0.790), while no difference in bevacizumab-related AEs was observed in both subgroups (p for interaction = 0.566). In the overall population, as compared to younger pts, those aged 70-75 were more susceptible to overall G3/4 AEs (70% vs 57%, p = 0.001). In the FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab arm a higher incidence of G3/4 diarrhea (27% vs 17%, p = 0.016) and febrile neutropenia (16% vs 6% p = 0.001) and a lower incidence of all grade nausea (51% vs 65%, p = 0.009) and vomiting (26% vs 44% p = 0.001) were reported among elderly pts. Conclusions: The activity and efficacy of FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab are confirmed among selected pts between 70 and 75 years old, with a relative increase in the risk of chemo-related AEs similar to that of younger pts. However, elderly pts are more susceptible to experience AEs independently of the treatment arm. Considering the increased incidence of febrile neutropenia and diarrhea with FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab, the use of G-CSF as primary prophylaxis or an initial dose reduction of irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil might be considered in this population.

Abstract
Aim To construct classification scores based on a combination of cancer patient plasma biomarker levels, for predicting progression-free survival. Methods The approach is based on the optimization of the biomarker cut-off values, which maximize the statistical differences between the groups with values lower or larger than the cut-offs, respectively. An intuitive visualization of the quality of the classification score is also proposed. Results Even if there are only weak correlations between individual biomarker levels and progression-free survival, scores based on suitably chosen combination of three biomarkers have classification power comparable with the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria classification of response to treatments in solid tumors. Conclusion Our approach has the potential to improve the selection of the patients who will benefit from a given anticancer treatment.

Abstract
Aims and Background We evaluated the activity in terms of time to progression (TTP) of mitomycin C and capecitabine in patients with advanced colorectal cancer who progressed after 2 lines of chemotherapy. Methods Patients with advanced colorectal cancer undergoing third-line chemotherapy after failure of 5-FU with CPT-11 or oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy regimens were treated with capecitabine and mitomycin C. Results Sixty-one patients were enrolled in this study. The median age was 55 years (range, 26-78 years) and the male:female ratio 21: 40. We observed partial remissions in 5 patients (8%), stable disease in 25 patients (40%) and progression of disease in 31 patients (52%). Median TTP was 3 months and median survival was 6 months. Global toxicity was mild and entirely acceptable. Grade 3-4 hematological toxicity occurred in 12 patients and grade 3-4 nonhematological toxicity in 5 patients. Conclusions The combination of capecitabine and mitomycin C could represent an effective and manageable treatment option for colorectal cancer patients failing previous chemotherapy regimens.

Abstract
AIMS AND BACKGROUND Suramin has been shown to be of interest as a potential new anticancer agent because of its capacity to inhibit the binding of several growth factors to their receptors and to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in vitro. Since multi-autocrine loops involving growth factors which are antagonized by suramin have been demonstrated in colorectal cancer, we previously evaluated the activity of suramin in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Interestingly, in this study three patients who had received 5-FU+LV after suramin, although heavily pretreated with fluoropyrimidines, obtained an objective response. This observation was intriguing as it might have been that suramin had changed the biology of the tumor, making it sensitive to 5-FU+LV. We therefore conducted the present study to investigate the possibility that suramin might overcome the resistance to 5-FU+LV. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN Only colorectal cancer patients with metastatic and progressive disease during 5-FU+LV-based chemotherapy were eligible for this study. Suramin was administered for eight weeks at doses determined by means of a computer-assisted dosing algorithm that used Bayesian pharmacokinetics to maintain suramin plasma concentrations of 200-250 microg/ml. 5-FU was administered weekly at a dosis of 450 mg/m2 halfway through a two-hour infusion of I-LV 250 mg/m2 starting one week after the initiation of suramin for a maximum of 26 weeks. RESULTS Treatment was relatively well tolerated, but no objective responses were observed after the accrual of 13 patients in the first stage of the trial. Consequently, the trial was interrupted according to the initial two-stage sampling design. CONCLUSIONS The present study does not support the hypothesis that suramin might overcome resistance to 5-FU+LV and its use in colorectal cancer is not recommended.

Abstract
209 Background: Prostate cancer affects mainly elderly patients (pts) that have different comorbidities. AA is a selective androgen synthesis inhibitor that showed the efficacy in either chemotherapy (CT) naive pts or those pretreated with docetaxel. Its oral administration and good tolerability make it a manegeable treatment for elderly mCRPC pts. Methods: We collected retrospectively data regarding mCRPC pts aged ≥75 years treated with AA in 13 Italian Centers since April 2013. The median age was 79 years (r. 75-90) with 48% of pts being octagerians. Post CT pts had more extensive disease, higher baseline PSA and ECOG PS. Nearly all the pts had comorbidities, the most frequent being hypertension present in 146 pts (58%), 43 pts (17%) had diabetes type II. We evaluated duration of the AA treatment, overall response rate (ORR), 50% PSA decline, time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS). We reported all toxicities observed. Results: A total of 252 pts ,147 pre treated with docetaxel and 105 chemo naive, were included. Median duration of treatment with AA was 8,6 months in post CT and 11,5 in CT naive pts. ORR was 35,3% in pre docetaxel and 27,4% in post docetaxel group. 64 pts (65%) and 51 pts (46%) obtained 50% PSA reduction in pre and post docetaxel group, respectively. Median TTP was 8,6 in post docetaxel and 11,9 in CT naive pts. We observed a median OS of 13,8 months in post CT group while for CT naive pts data were not yet mature. AA was well tolerated with only 8 pts (3,2%) who discontinued treatment due to toxicity, while in 4 pts (1,6%) temporary dose reductions were performed. The most frequent G3 toxicities were hypertension and liver toxicity with 4 pts (1,6%) and 5 pts (2%), respectively. After progressing on AA, 85 pts (34%) received at least one subsequent treatment. 40 pts (15,9%) are still on treatment with AA. Conclusions: Even if almost all the pts reported comorbidities at AA start and 72 pts (28,6%) had PS ECOG 2, only a small proportion of them discontinued the treatment due to toxicity confirming that AA is well tolerated and efficient treatment also for elderly patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Metronomic chemotherapy has shown promising antitumor activity in a number of malignancies. For example, we previously reported (Allegrini et al., Angiogenesis (2012) 15(2):275-86) a phase II clinical trial of metronomic UFT (a 5-fluorouracil prodrug; 100 mg/twice per day p.o.) and cyclophosphamide (CTX; 500 mg/mq2 i.v. bolus on day 1 and then 50 mg/day p.o.) plus celecoxib (200 mg/twice a day p.o.) in 38 patients with advanced refractory gastrointestinal tumors. The mechanisms of action of metronomic chemotherapy include upregulation of the angiogenesis inhibitor Thrombospondin-1, the suppression of bone marrow derived endothelial progenitor cells and, at least for drugs such as CTX, activation of the immune system. To further evaluate the latter, we carried out an immune system multiplex 14-cytokine profiling of plasma samples that were available (for day 0, day 28, and day 56) from 31 of the 38 patients in the above noted (Allegrini et al) clinical trial. Our results show that pre-treatment plasma level cut-offs of interferon-gamma (>12.84pg/ml), sCD40L (<2168pg/ml), interferon-alpha2 (>55.11pg/ml), and IL-17a (<15.1pg/ml) were predictive markers for those patients with better progression-free survival (p<.05 for each cytokine). After 28 days of metronomic therapy, the plasma levels of sCD40L, IL-17a, and of IL-6 (<130pg/ml) could serve as predictors of improved progression-free survival, as could levels interferon-gamma and sCD40L after 56 days of therapy. We observed minimal changes in cytokine profiles, from baseline, as a consequence of the metronomic therapy, with the exception of an elevation of IL-6 and IL-8 levels 28 days (and 56 days) after treatment started (p<0.05). Our results indicate that a selective cytokine elevation, involving IL-6 and IL-8, following metronomic chemotherapy administration. In addition, interferon-gamma and sCD40L may be potential biomarkers for gastrointestinal cancer patients that are likely to benefit from metronomic chemotherapy. Our study contributes to our understanding of the mechanisms of action of metronomic chemotherapy, and may guide future patient selection criteria for metronomic chemotherapy for gastrointestinal cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy plus bevacizumab is a standard first-line treatment for unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer patients. Different chemotherapy backbones may be chosen, including one to three drugs, based on patients' general conditions and comorbidities, treatments' objectives, and disease characteristics. TRIBE trial demonstrated a significant advantage in terms of progression-free survival and overall survival for FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab as compared with FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab. Based on recent evidence, the de-intensification of the upfront regimen after 4-6 months of treatment is nowadays regarded as a valuable option. Moreover, the prolonged inhibition of angiogenesis, and in particular the continuation of bevacizumab beyond the evidence of disease progression, is an efficacious strategy in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer patients. METHODS/DESIGN TRIBE-2 is a prospective, open-label, multicentric phase III randomized trial in which unresectable and previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer patients are randomized to receive first-line FOLFOX plus bevacizumab followed by FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab after disease progression or FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab followed by the re-introduction of the same regimen after disease progression. The primary endpoint is to compare the efficacy of the two proposed treatment strategies in terms of Progression Free Survival 2. DISCUSSION The TRIBE-2 study aims at answering the question whether the upfront use of FOLFOXIRI improves the clinical outcome of metastatic colorectal cancer patients, when compared with the pre-planned, sequential use of oxaliplatin-based and irinotecan-based doublets. Both proposed treatment strategies are designed to exploit the effectiveness of the prolonged inhibition of angiogenesis, alternating short (up to 4 months) induction periods and less intensive maintenance phases. TRIAL REGISTRATION TRIBE2 is registered at Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02339116 . January 12, 2015. TRIBE-2 is registered at EUDRACT 2014-004436-19, October 10, 2014.

Abstract
3542 Background: FOLFOXIRI plus bev is regarded by international guidelines as a valuable option in the first-line tx of mCRC pts. One of the major concerns for the adoption of this regimen is the potential limitation of subsequent therapeutic options. The aim of the present analysis was to focus on treatments received after progression in TRIBE (NCT00719797) and MOMA (NCTNCT02271464) studies. Methods: We collected data of tx received after progression and their outcome in terms of 2ndPFS (time from 2nd line tx start to disease progression or death) and OS II (time from 2nd line tx start to death). For pts in which the same drugs used in first-line were totally or partially reintroduced, the chemotherapy-free interval (CFI, time from the last administration of irinotecan or oxaliplatin during first-line to disease progression) was calculated. Results: Out of 482 pts treated with upfront FOLFOXIRI plus bev, 429 progressed. 303 (70.6%) pts received a 2nd line tx: 93 FOLFOXIRI +/- bev (Group A), 119 FOLFOX/XELOX or FOLFIRI +/- bev (Group B) and 91 other tx (Group C), including an anti-EGFR moAb in 60 cases. No difference was observed among the three groups in terms of 2ndPFS (median 2nd PFS Group A: 5.6 vs Group B: 4.4 vs Group C: 3.9 mos; p = 0.60) or OS II (median OS II Group A: 14.9 vs Group B: 13.8 vs Group C: 11.7 mos; p = 0.49). In the subgroup of pts with a CFI < 6 mos, Group A (n = 52) reported longer 2ndPFS compared to both Group B (n = 58) (median 2ndPFS 5.3 vs 3.0 mos; HR: 0.61,95%CI 0.41-0.89; p = 0.009) and Group C (n = 58) (5.3 vs 3.2 mos; HR: 0.71, 95%CI 0.48-1.05; p = 0.07). Consistent results were achieved in OS II (Group A vs Group B; median OS 13.6 vs 10.8 mos; HR: 0.65, 95%CI 0.42-1.00; p = 0.053; Group A vs Group C 13.6 vs 8.9 mos; HR: 0.60, 95%CI 0.39-0.93; p = 0.002). In the subgroup of pts with a CFI ≥ 6 mos, no significant difference was shown between Group A (n = 41) and Group B (n = 61) or C (n = 33). Conclusions: Tx after progression to first-line FOLFOXIRI plus bev are feasible and show expected efficacy results. The reintroduction of the triplet plus bev seems more effective than doublets plus bev or other tx when a more aggressive disease biology is suggested (CFI < 6 mos).

Abstract
Background: Different antiangiogenics are currently indicated in the second-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), following a first-line bevacizumab-containing treatment. The magnitude of benefit is limited, but no predictors of benefit have been identified. Methods: A total of 184 mCRC patients progressing to a first-line bevacizumab-containing treatment were randomised in the BEBYP study to continue or not the antiangiogenic in combination with a second-line chemotherapy. A subgroup analysis according to baseline serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels was carried out. Results: A significant interaction effect between LDH levels and treatment was found in terms of progression-free survival (PFS; P=0.002). Although patients with low LDH levels achieved significant PFS benefit from the continuation of bevacizumab (HR: 0.39 (95% CI: 0.23–0.65)), patients with high levels did not (HR: 1.10 (95% CI: 0.74–1.64)). Consistent results were reported in overall survival (OS; P=0.075). Conclusions: As preclinical evidence suggests that serum LDH may be a marker of tumour angiogenesis activation, low levels may indicate that bevacizumab is still efficacious in inhibiting angiogenesis. Validation of present results in subgroup analyses of other randomised trials of second-line angiogenesis inhibitors is warranted.

Abstract
VEGFR-2 and P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) have been described to stimulate the angiogenesis and inflammatory processes of prostate cancer. The present study has been performed to investigate the genetic interactions among VEGFR-2 and P2X7R SNPs and their correlation with overall survival (OS) in a population of metastatic prostate cancer patients. Analyses were performed on germline DNA obtained from blood samples and SNPs were investigated by real-time PCR technique. The survival dimensionality reduction (SDR) methodology was applied to investigate the genetic interaction between SNPs. One hundred patients were enrolled. The SDR software provided two genetic interaction profiles consisting of the combination between specific VEGFR-2 (rs2071559, rs11133360) and P2X7R (rs3751143, rs208294) genotypes. The median OS was 126 months (95% CI, 115.94–152.96) and 65.65 months (95% CI, 52.95–76.53) for the favorable and the unfavorable genetic profile, respectively (p < 0.0001). The genetic statistical interaction between VEGFR-2 (rs2071559, rs11133360) and P2X7R (rs3751143, rs208294) genotypes may identify a population of prostate cancer patients with a better prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab is a valid option as upfront treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. While several trials investigated the effect of combining bevacizumab with different chemotherapy regimens, including fluoropyrimidines monotherapy and oxaliplatin- or irinotecan-containing doublets, no randomized comparison assessing the impact of the addition of bevacizumab to FOLFOXIRI is available. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 122 mCRC patients received first-line FOLFOXIRI in the phase III trial by the GONO (FOLFOXIRI group) and 252 patients received first-line FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab in the TRIBE trial (FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab group). A propensity score-adjusted method was adopted to provide an estimation of the benefit from the addition of bevacizumab to FOLFOXIRI in terms of survival and activity parameters. RESULTS Patients in the FOLFOXIRI group had more frequently Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of one or two, high Köhne score, metachronous and liver-limited disease, had previously received adjuvant treatments and had their primary tumors resected. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 12.3 months in the FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab group compared with 10.0 months in the FOLFOXIRI group {propensity score-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.74 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.59-0.94], P = 0.013}. This association was significant also in the multivariable model (P = 0.024). The median OS was 29.8 months in the FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab group compared with 23.6 months in the FOLFOXIRI group [propensity score-adjusted HR: 0.72 (95% CI 0.56-0.93), P = 0.014]. At the multivariable model, the addition of bevacizumab was still associated with significantly longer OS (P = 0.030). No significant differences in RECIST response rate (RR) [65.1% versus 55.7%; propensity score-adjusted odds ratio (OR): 1.29 (95% CI 0.81-2.05), P = 0.280], early RR [62.7% versus 57.8%; OR: 1.14 (95% CI 0.68-1.93), P = 0.619] and median depth of response (42.2% versus 53.8%, P = 0.259) were reported. CONCLUSIONS Though in the absence of a randomized comparison, the addition of bevacizumab to FOLFOXIRI provides significant benefit in PFS and OS, thus supporting the use of FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab as upfront treatment for mCRC patients. TRIALS' NUMBERS NCT01219920 and NCT00719797.
