Angiogenesis biomarker study of a phase II trial of pazopanib (P) in recurrent or persistent ovarian (EOC), peritoneal (PPC), or fallopian tube cancer (FTC): A Spanish Ovarian Cancer Group (GEICO) study.
e15575 Background: Angiogenesis is essential to tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis in EOC. The aim of this study was to identify angiogenic biomarkers to predict response to P, a potent and selective multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor of VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, PDGFR-a/β, and c-kit, in a clinical phase II trial. Methods: We analyzed a series of 20 out of 25 women enrolled in a GEICO Phase II trial that studied the Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) of P in platinum-resistant EOC, PPC and FTC (results will be presented in an additional abstract). Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumors at diagnosis were evaluated for the microvessel density (MVD) by using CD31 immunostaining…
Exploratory outcome analyses according to stage and residual disease in the ICON7 trial of front-line carboplatin/paclitaxel (CP) ± bevacizumab (BEV) for ovarian cancer (OC).
5548 Background: In ICON7, progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly improved in patients (pts) receiving BEV with front-line CP and continued as a single agent [Perren 2011] but no overall...
Feasibility of a modified outpatient regimen of intravenous/intraperitoneal chemotherapy in optimally debulked stage III ovarian cancer patients: a GEICO study.
Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess the feasibility, toxicity, and reasons for early discontinuation of a modified outpatient intraperitoneal/intravenous (IP/IV) chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of patients with optimally debulked stage III ovarian cancer. Methods: Between February 2006 and November 2008, 51 consecutive patients from Institutions of the Spanish Ovarian Cancer Group (GEICO) were treated with a modified outpatient IP chemotherapy regimen. Patients received IV paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 over 3 hours on day 1, followed by IP cisplatin 100 mg/m2 (or 75 mg/m2 according to the principal investigator9s criteria) on day 2. On day 8, patients received IP paclitaxel 6…
Twelve-Month Estrogen Levels in Premenopausal Women With Hormone Receptor–Positive Breast Cancer Receiving Adjuvant Triptorelin Plus Exemestane or Tamoxifen in the Suppression of Ovarian Function Trial (SOFT): The SOFT-EST Substudy
Purpose To describe estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), and estrone sulfate (E1S) levels during the first year of monthly triptorelin plus exemestane or tamoxifen and to assess possible suboptimal suppression while receiving exemestane plus triptorelin. Patients and Methods Premenopausal patients with early breast cancer on the Suppression of Ovarian Function Trial who selected triptorelin as the ovarian suppression method and were randomly assigned to exemestane plus triptorelin or tamoxifen plus triptorelin were enrolled until the target population of 120 patients was reached. Blood sampling time points were 0, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 months. Serum estrogens were measured with a highly sen…
