Quality of life in patients with malignant ascites during catumaxomab treatment: Results from the CASIMAS trial.
2012
e13095^ Background: Malignant Ascites (MA) is associated with a poor prognosis and limited palliative treatment options. To demonstrate the value of a new treatment the assessment of quality of life (QoL) is of particular importance. Following the demonstration of catumaxomab’s potential to stabilize QoL and prolong the time to first deterioration of QoL, results from CASIMAS give evidence that the QoL of patients remains unaffected during catumaxomab treatment Methods: In a two-arm, open-label, multicentre phase II/III study 219 patients were randomized to catumaxomab plus premedication of 25 mg prednisolone (111 pts) or to catumaxomab alone (108 pts) QoL was measured using the EQ-5D visu…
Catumaxomab with and without prednisolone in patients with malignant ascites due to epithelial cancer: Results from the phase IIIb CASIMAS study
2012
e13097^ Background: The primary objective of this study was to compare catumaxomab with prednisolone (CP) to catumaxomab without prednisolone (C) as 3-hour intraperitoneal (i.p.) infusion by demonstrating superiority for safety and non-inferiority for efficacy of the CP arm. Methods: 219 patients were randomized to catumaxomab plus premedication of 25 mg prednisolone (111 pts) or to catumaxomab alone (108 pts). The primary endpoint was the composite safety score (CSS) summarizing the worst CTCAE grades for the main TEAEs (pyrexia, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain). A potential impact of prednisolone on efficacy was assessed by the co-primary endpoint puncture-free survival (PuFS). Furt…

1061 Background: BRAWO is a German non-interventional study, which enrolled more than 2400 patients (pts) with advanced/metastatic, hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer treated with EVE and EXE. Main objectives are a) the impact of physical activity on efficacy and quality of life, b) prophylaxis and management of stomatitis in clinical routine, and c) the sequence of therapy when EVE is used in daily clinical practice. Methods: In this update on the results of the 3rd interim analysis (data cut-off 18-Oct-2016) we analyzed under real world conditions the first 1.078 patients followed up until disease progression for their progression-free survival (PFS) events. A two-…
Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes and Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With or Without Carboplatin in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2–Posit…
2015
Purpose Modulation of immunologic interactions in cancer tissue is a promising therapeutic strategy. To investigate the immunogenicity of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) –positive and triple-negative (TN) breast cancers (BCs), we evaluated tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and immunologically relevant genes in the neoadjuvant GeparSixto trial. Patients and Methods GeparSixto investigated the effect of adding carboplatin (Cb) to an anthracycline-plus-taxane combination (PM) on pathologic complete response (pCR). A total of 580 tumors were evaluated before random assignment for stromal TILs and lymphocyte-predominant BC (LPBC). mRNA expression of immune-activating (CXCL9, …

e12547 Background: BRAWO is a non-interventional study, which enrolled more than 2400 patients (pts) with advanced/metastatic, hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer treated with EVE and EXE. Main objectives are a) the impact of physical activity on efficacy and quality of life, b) prophylaxis and management of stomatitis in clinical routine, and c) the sequence of therapy when EVE is used in daily clinical practice. We report updated data of the 3rd interim analysis, including PFS. Methods: This updated analysis (data cut-off 18 Oct 2016) covers data of the first 1345 documented pts with at least one follow up under therapy. Here we describe the baseline characteristics…
