A Non-Coding Fc Gamma Receptor Cis-Regulatory Variant within the 1q23 Gene Cluster Is Associated with Plasmodium falciparum Infection in Children Residing in Burkina Faso. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15711. [PMID: 37958695 PMCID: PMC10650193 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242115711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Antibodies play a crucial role in activating protective immunity against malaria by interacting with Fc-gamma receptors (FcγRs). Genetic variations in genes encoding FcγRs can affect immune cell responses to the parasite. In this study, our aim was to investigate whether non-coding variants that regulate FcγR expression could influence the prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum infection. Through bioinformatics approaches, we selected expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) for FCGR2A, FCGR2B, FCGR2C, FCGR3A, and FCGR3B genes encoding FcγRs (FCGR), in whole blood. We prioritized two regulatory variants, rs2099684 and rs1771575, located in open genomic regions. These variants were identified using RegVar, ImmuNexUT, and transcription factor annotations specific to immune cells. In addition to these, we genotyped the coding variants FCGR2A/rs1801274 and FCGR2B/rs1050501 in 234 individuals from a malaria-endemic area in Burkina Faso. We conducted age and family-based analyses to evaluate associations with the prevalence of malarial infection in both children and adults. The analysis revealed that the regulatory rs1771575-CC genotype was predicted to influence FCGR2B/FCGR2C/FCGR3A transcripts in immune cells and was the sole variant associated with a higher prevalence of malarial infection in children. In conclusion, this study identifies the rs1771575 cis-regulatory variant affecting several FcγRs in myeloid and neutrophil cells and associates it with the inter-individual capacity of children living in Burkina Faso to control malarial infection.

Randomized phase III trial in elderly patients comparing LV5FU2 with or without irinotecan for first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (FFCD 2001-02). Ann Oncol 2015; 27:121-7. [PMID: 26487578 DOI: 10.1093/annonc/mdv491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 64] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2015] [Accepted: 10/08/2015] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) frequently occurs in elderly patients. However, data from a geriatric tailored randomized trial about tolerance to and the efficacy of doublet chemotherapy (CT) with irinotecan in the elderly are lacking. The benefit of first-line CT intensification remains an issue in elderly patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Elderly patients (75+) with previously untreated mCRC were randomly assigned in a 2 × 2 factorial design (four arms) to receive 5-FU (5-fluorouracil)-based CT, either alone (FU: LV5FU2 or simplified LV5FU2) or in combination with irinotecan [IRI: LV5FU2-irinotecan or simplified LV5FU2-irinotecan (FOLFIRI)]. The CLASSIC arm was defined as LV5FU2 or LV5FU2-irinotecan and the SIMPLIFIED arm as simplified LV5FU2 or FOLFIRI. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points were overall survival (OS), safety and objective response rate (ORR). RESULTS From June 2003 to May 2010, 71 patients were randomly assigned to LV5FU2, 71 to simplified LV5FU2, 70 to LV5FU2-irinotecan and 70 to FOLFIRI. The median age was 80 years (range 75-92 years). No significant difference was observed for the median PFS: FU 5.2 months versus IRI 7.3 months, hazard ratio (HR) = 0.84 (0.66-1.07), P = 0.15 and CLASSIC 6.5 months versus SIMPLIFIED 6.0 months, HR = 0.85 (0.67-1.09), P = 0.19. The ORR was superior in IRI (P = 0.0003): FU 21.1% versus IRI 41.7% and in CLASSIC (P = 0.04): CLASSIC 37.1% versus SIMPLIFIED 25.6%. Median OS was 14.2 months in FU versus 13.3 months in IRI, HR = 0.96 (0.75-1.24) and 15.2 months in CLASSIC versus 11.4 months in SIMPLIFIED, HR = 0.71 (0.55-0.92). More patients presented grade 3-4 toxicities in IRI (52.2% versus 76.3%). CONCLUSION In this elderly population, adding irinotecan to an infusional 5-FU-based CT did not significantly increase either PFS or OS. Classic LV5FU2 was associated with an improved OS compared with simplified LV5FU2. CLINICALTRIALSGOV NCT00303771.

Impact of geriatric risk factors on pegylated liposomal doxorubicin tolerance and efficacy in elderly metastatic breast cancer patients: final results of the DOGMES multicentre GINECO trial. Eur J Cancer 2013; 49:2806-14. [PMID: 23735702 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejca.2013.04.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2012] [Revised: 03/01/2013] [Accepted: 04/27/2013] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic breast cancer chemotherapy in the elderly is considered effective in carefully selected patients, but there is little data regarding its effect in vulnerable patients. METHODS We evaluated tumour response (primary endpoint), feasibility and outcomes after six courses of an adapted dose of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) (40 mg/m(2) every 28 days) as first-line chemotherapy for hormone-resistant MBC. RESULTS Of 60 patients >70 years (median 77 years), 15% had performance status ≥2 and 73% had visceral metastases. Geriatric assessment included: ≥2 comorbidities, 42%; ≥1 deficiency in Activities of Daily Living (ADL), 10% and Instrumental ADL (IADL), 82%; living in residential homes, 12%; albumin <35 g/L, 17%; body mass index (BMI) <21, 20%; depression, 17%; and lymphocytes ≤1 × 10(3)/mm(3), 27%. Complete response, partial response and stable disease were observed in 5%, 15% and 60%, respectively, but only 48% completed six cycles. Treatment discontinuations were mostly due to disease progression (18%) and non-haematological (NH) toxicities (22%). Eight patients died during treatment (three possibly related to PLD), and 15 had unplanned hospital admissions. Exploratory analyses to identify geriatric covariates associated with treatment outcomes revealed severe haematological toxicities significantly correlated with lymphocytes ≤1 × 10(3)/mm(3). NH toxicities correlated with age ≥80 years and living in residential homes. Progression-free survival (median 6.1 months) decreased with age, deficiency in IADL, cardiac dysfunction and living in residential homes. Overall survival (median 15.7 months) also decreased with living in residential homes. CONCLUSION Despite manageable haematological toxicities and expected response rates, PLD feasibility was poor in unselected elderly patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: To evaluate the prognostic impact of HER2 overexpression in patients with pT1a-b, node negative, breast cancers.
Patients and Methods: A population of1127 patients whose diseases were staged as pT 1a-b, pN0 and who were treated in the Languedoc-Roussillon (ONCO LR Southern French regional network) from 1999 to 2004, was identified. 95% of patients had conservative management, no patient received adjuvant trastuzumab, 5% received chemotherapy and 80% anti-estrogen endocrine therapy. HER 2 status was retrospectively assessed by immunohistochemistry in 671 patients (122 pT1a/549 pT1b). Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate disease-free survival (DFS). Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine associations between HER2 status and disease-free survival adjusting on variables significantly linked to it.
Results: 9-year Overall survival was 95%. HER2 overexpression (3+) was observed in 5.2% of the patients (n=35).
HER2 3+ category was most frequently identified in the following sub groups: pT1a lesion (12.3% vs 3.6%; p: 0.0001), mastectomies (14% vs 4.4%; p:0.023), Grade 2–3 (91% vs 50%; p<0.0001), estrogen receptor (ER) negative (−) tumors (57% vs 30%; p<0.0001), progesterone receptor (PR) - tumors (74% vs 42%; p: 0.0002). HER2 3+ was less frequent with adjuvant hormonal treatment (43% vs 80%; p<0.0001). 33 relapse (5%) were observed with a median follow-up of 6.4 years (range, 0.3 to 9.9 years). The 5-year DFS rates were 78% and 95% in patients with HER2−positive and HER2−negative tumors, respectively (p:0.017).
According to the immunohistochemical phenotype DFS5 were 95%, 94%, 85%, 73.6% for ER+/PR+/HER2− (n:502/75%), ER-/PR-/ HER2− (n:134/20%), ER+/PR+/HER2 3+ (n:15/2%) and ER-/PR-/ HER2 3+ tumors (n:20/3%), respectively (p:0.02).
In univariate analysis, HER2 positive tumors (p:0.017), phenotype classification (p:0.02) and adjuvant treatment (p:0.013) were significant prognostic factors. In multivariate analysis, only patients with HER2 3+ tumors had higher risks of recurrence (hazard ratio [HR], 2.41; 95% CI: [1.06−5.53]; p<0.05) than those with HER2 -tumors.
Discussion: Node-negative, pT1a-b, breast cancer patients overexpressing HER2 have a significant risk of recurrence at 6 years median follow-up. In our series of small breast tumors, HER2 status seems to be a better prognostic factor than ER status. In patients with hormone receptor-positive diseases, HER2 positivity is associated with a worse DFS despite an anti-estrogen treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This phase II study evaluated the clinical benefit of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) and docetaxel (Taxotere) as first-line therapy for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). PATIENTS AND METHODS MBC patients were enrolled to receive six cycles of PLD 35 mg/m2 (day 1) and docetaxel 40 mg/m2 (days 1 and 15), every 28 days (group A). Because of unacceptable toxic effects, doses were modified to PLD 30 mg/m2 (day 1) and docetaxel 75 mg/m2 (day 2), every 3 weeks (group B). The primary end point was clinical benefit. RESULTS Sixty-seven patients were included (group A, 53; group B, 14). In both groups, the median number of cycles delivered was 4 and the overall dose intensity was 82% for docetaxel and 71% for PLD. In group A, main toxic effects were hematologic, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE), and stomatitis. In group B, higher rates of grade 3-4 PPE, febrile neutropenia, and hematologic toxic effects were reported. The rate of clinical benefit was 47%. Among patients with a measurable disease, 49% achieved a partial response, 27% had a stable disease, and 13% progressed, according to RECIST criteria. CONCLUSION The combination of PLD and docetaxel delivered at planned doses in this study yields unacceptable toxicity and should not be used routinely in patients with MBC.

Abstract
Advanced ovarian carcinoma in early progression (<6 months) (AOCEP) is considered resistant to most cytotoxic drugs. Gemcitabine (GE) and oxaliplatin (OXA) have shown single-agent activity in relapsed ovarian cancer. Their combination was tested in patients with AOCEP in phase II study. Fifty patients pre-treated with platinum–taxane received q3w administration of OXA (100 mg m–2, d1) and GE (1000 mg m–2, d1, d8, 100-min infusion). Patient characteristics were a : median age 64 years (range 46–79),and 1 (84%) or 2 (16%) earlier lines of treatment. Haematological toxicity included grade 3–4 neutropaenia (33%), anaemia (8%), and thrombocytopaenia (19%). Febrile neutropaenia occurred in 3%. Non-haematological toxicity included grade 2–3 nausea or vomiting (34%), grade 3 fatigue (25%),and grade 2 alopecia (24%). Eighteen (37%) patients experienced response. Median progression-free (PF) and overall survivals (OS) were 4.6 and 11.4 months, respectively. The OXA–GE combination has high activity and acceptable toxicity in AOCEP patients. A comparison of the doublet OXA–GE with single-agent treatment is warranted.

Abstract
5559 Background: Variable rates of HER2 protein overexpression and gene amplification have been reported in AOC. Trastuzumab (Herceptin [H]) has been tested only as single agent and has shown a 7% response rate (RR) in heavily pre-treated AOC patients (pts) with 3+ and 2+ HER2 immunostaining (IHC) (Bookman MA et al, J Clin Oncol 2003). GINECO has explored the combination of H with paclitaxel (T) and carboplatin (C) in pts with resistant AOC (< 6 months) and HER2 gene amplification. Methods: 321 AOC pts were centrally screened for HER2 status (243 pts in first-line and 78 relapsing pts). All positive (3+) and doubtful (2+) cases were screened by fluorescence in-situ hybridisation (FISH). Pts with HER2 gene amplification, normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and resistant relapse after first or second line of chemotherapy including TC were treated with T (175mg/m2, 3h), C (AUC 5) and H (9mg/kg first course, 6mg/kg subsequent courses) every 3 weeks. Results: Of the 321 cases tested, 22 (6,7%) were HER2+ by IHC and FISH. Only 7 pts (32%) with a median age of 56 (range: 48–70) met the eligibility criteria of the trial. Pts had measurable lesions (n=4) or elevated CA 125 level + non-measurable lesions (n=3). Three pts had complete response (6, 7+ and 24+ months) and 2 had stable disease (3 months). Toxicity was moderate: febrile neutropenia, Gr3 infection, Gr2 neurotoxicity and decrease of LVEF after 23 cycles of H were observed in one patient respectively. Conclusions: HER2 overexpression/amplification is low in advanced ovarian carcinoma (6,7 %). In this small prospective cohort of resistant patients, 3 of 7 have achieved complete remission when adding Trastuzumab to conventional chemotherapy. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
6047 Background: 4 randomized trials demonstrated superiority of concomitant CT and radiotherapy (CRT) versus RT. Radiosensitizing effect of docetaxel showed in vitro, phase I recommended docetaxel dose as weekly 20 mg/m2 with concomitant RT. Methods: (pts) with inoperable LAHNC (T3/T4); PS < 2.RT in both arms was 70 Gy. In arm A, pts received 7 cycles of weekly Docetaxel 20 mg/m2 before RT and cisplatin 20 mg/m2 D1–3 every three weeks (3 cycles). In arm B, docetaxel alone at the same dose as in arm A.G-CSF secondary prophylaxis and ciprofloxacin recommended in both arms. Primary objective was WHO objective response rate (ORR). Statistical analysis: 2 steps according to a Simon plan authorized early interruption in case of insufficient efficacy. Results: 82 pts treated (Arms A/B:35/47); Arm A stopped in the first step. 47 pts treated in arm B. M/F (%) (83/17), median age 56.6 y, PS 0/1 (%) 54/46, T2/T3/T4 (%) 2/36/62, N0–1/N2/N3 (%) 30/55/15, primary site (%): buccal cavity (38), hypo-oropharynx (47), larynx (11). Median nbr of cycles 7 (3–7), 85% of pts completed planned CRT. ITT ORR: 89 % [75–96], median TTP 31.3 [19.3 –42.4], median OS 36.8 [21.2–49.5] months. Main grade 3–4 toxicities were mucositis (31.9%),skin toxicity (21.3%). Grade 3–4 hematological, GI and neurological toxicities were not observed. Conclusions: In this study, concomitant RT and weekly 20 mg/m2 docetaxel is effective and well tolerated in LAHNC. The docetaxel/cisplatin arm was prematurely discontinued for insufficient efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine the feasibility of two chemotherapy regimens in elderly patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma (AOC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty-three patients >or=70 years were previously enrolled in a trial evaluating carboplatin and cyclophosphamide (CC). On the basis of identical eligibility criteria, 75 further patients were enrolled in a trial evaluating carboplatin and paclitaxel (Taxol) (CP). The primary end point of these studies was the feasibility of six courses of chemotherapy. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) parameters were assessed in terms of prognostic factors. RESULTS More patients in the CC group presented with performance status of two or more, depression symptoms, use of co-medications, hypoalbuminemia, abnormal Mini-Mental Status score, or sub-optimal surgery. Both regimens appeared feasible: 75.6% in the CC group and 68.1% in the CP group completed six courses. CC and CP groups had similar overall survival (OS). Independent prognostic factors of poorer OS were the following: increasing age (P = 0.013), depression symptoms at baseline (P < 0.001), International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IV (P = 0.001), and use of paclitaxel (P = 0.025). CONCLUSION As this is a non-randomised retrospective review of two consecutive studies, no firm conclusion can be drawn. It seems, however, that in elderly patients with AOC the use of paclitaxel results in more toxicity. CGA parameters and particularly emotional disorders might help to determine a priori the risk/benefit ratio of chemotherapy in this patient population.

Abstract
565 Background: in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that COX-2 inhibitors have proper antitumor effect and could enhance the activity of aromatase inhibitors (AI). Methods: PM first-line MBC pts without previous adjuvant AI were randomized to receive per os until progression either A: Ce (400 mg bid) + Ex (25mg/d) or B: placebo (1 tablet bid) + Ex (25mg/d). PFS was the main end-point. The trial was prematurely stopped (Dec 2004) with 157/342 pts enrolled (A: 74, B: 83 pts) after occurrence of Ce cardio-vascular toxicity in other trials. Results: patient (median age, A:61, B:63 yrs) characteristics were well balanced between A and B (%) : ER and/or PR positive (93, 94), HER2 positive (4, 5), adjuvant chemotherapy (45, 53) or tamoxifen (57, 61), ECOG PS 0–1 (90, 90), visceral (63, 53) or bone involvement (35, 41). Tolerance: compared to placebo (B), pts treated with Ce (A) experienced less gr 2–3 CTCAE: pain (A:52, B:63%), arthralgias (19, 28), asthenia (20, 30), Gr 1–3 insomnia (32, 47), but more hypersentivity reactions (7,0) and oedema (8, 2). Gastro-intestinal toxicity was not increased in A. One episode of paroxystic arythmia occurred in the Ce arm, without complication in a patient with known cardiopathy. Overall response rate was significantly higher in A (35 vs 20%, p=.034). Median PFS in intent-to-treat analysis was similar in A (9.8 months) and B (9.8), but tend to be superior in A (A:12.2, B:9,8, p=.09) in pts who were included at least 3 months before early trial stopping. In addition, PFS was significantly longer in pts treated with Ce +Ex (A: 8.4 months, B: 4.7, p=.019) in the subgroup of pts who developed MBC under Tam or within 12 months after Tam stopping (A: 26, B: 29 pts). Conclusion: The combination of celecoxib and exemestane is promising and should be further explored in MBC with adequate cardiac monitoring. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Effect of paclitaxel-carboplatin (PC) consolidation chemotherapy after weekly PC concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCR) for patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC): 3-year definitive results of the B001-phase III GERCOR-study.

Abstract
7112 Background: Local control rate of LA-NSCLC seems better after concurrent CCR than after sequential schedule; the role of additional chemotherapy is not clearly defined. A multi-institutional phase-III trial was conducted to evaluate the role of chemotherapy consolidation after CCR Methods: Eligibility criteria included mediastinoscopy-controlled unresectable NSCLC stage IIIA (27%) - IIIB (59%) and inoperable mediastinal recurrence after surgery (14%), PS < 3, clinical target volume compatible with a minimal 60 Gy dose radiation. After registration, patients (pts) were treated with combination of weekly P (45 mg/m2), C (AUC 2), and radiotherapy 60–66 Gy (5 × 2 Gy per week). The pts with response or stable disease were randomized either to receive 3 cycles of P (175 mg/m2) and C (AUC 5) consolidation on days 1–22–43 or observation. Primary endpoint was OS (log-rank test), planned sample was 122 pts. Results: Actually, 71 pts were enrolled. Thirty pts (42%) were not randomized because of progression (22%) and disease-related death (22%), toxicity (26%), refusal (9%), protocol violation (21%). Toxicity grade 3–4 per patient: for the PC-TRT sequence; neutropenia 5%, febrile neutropenia 5%, thrombopenia 5%, pneumonitis 5%, oesophagitis 19%. For the PC consolidation sequence; neutropenia 24%, febrile neutropenia 6%, thrombopenia 0% (no treatment-related death). After a minimal follow-up of 3 years, despite poor inclusion rate, OS and PFS were greater in the PC consolidation group with 3-year OS: 29.9% vs 10% (HR = 0.45; CI 0.95: 0.22–0.91) (p = 0.002) and 3-year PFS: 27.8% vs 10% (HR = 0.6; CI 0.95: 0.3–1.3) (p = 0.17). Nine pts developed metastasis in each treatment arm. Conclusions: The addition of PC consolidation to PC-CCR is not easily feasible for all LA-NSCLC. For selected pts (only 58% of pts in this trial), despite premature ending of the trial because of slow accrual, PC consolidation significantly improved the 3-year OS and probably PFS. Because no difference in the metastatic incidence was observed, the effect of chemotherapy dosage in the consolidation arm could be explained by delaying metastasis. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
10589 Background: Taxanes and anthracyclins are among the most effective agents in MBC. Ca has a favourable cardiac toxicity profile and we tested Ca in combination with Do. Methods: Two successive Ca-Do regimens (Reg) were evaluated in first line MBC pts with performance status ≤ 2, and good organ function including normal MUGA scan. Reg A (n = 53 pts): Ca 35 mg/m2/d1 q4wks + Do 40 mg/m2/d1 q2wks according to previous phase I study results (Guastalla JP et al, Proc Am Soc Clin Onc 2004) and Reg B (n = 14 pts): Ca 30 mg/m2/d1 + Do 75 mg/m2/d2 every 3wks (Alexopoulos A et al, Ann Oncol 2004). Pyridoxine (250 mg/d) was given continuously during treatment (Tt). Results: The 67 pts had a median age of 58 yrs (range 37–77 yrs); others characteristics (%): ER+ (75), PR+ (51), HER2+ (9), adjuvant anthracyclin (54) and hormonotherapy (60), visceral disease (78). Both regimens induced unbearable toxicities (Tox) leading to premature stopping of the trial. Dose reduction, Tt delay and early stopping due to Tox were noted (% pts) in A:68, 36, 48 and B:57, 64, 54. Mucositis-skin Tox was the most severe Tox (% Gr2/3; A:40/15, B:43/21) and was observed in 21 and 40% of pts at cycle 2 and 4. Hematotoxicity was worse in reg B: Gr3/4 neutropenia (A:28/9, B:14/57), anemia (A:0/0, B:7/7) and thrombopenia (A:0/0, B:14/0), febrile neutropenia (A:6, B:14), Gr2–3 infection (A:13, B:28). Others Gr2–3 toxicities (> 10%) included alopecia (A:64, B:78), fatigue (A:54, B:57), nausea/vomiting (A:19, B:50). Three pts had a reduction of LVEF without clinical cardiac toxicity Conclusions: The combination of Do and Ca according to the 2 schedules tested in this study induced an unexpected high rate of mucositis and skin toxicity. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
