Final results of the AIO 0307 study: A controlled, randomized, double-blind phase II study of FOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI combined with sorafenib (S) versus placebo (P) in second-line metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC) treatment.
3586 Background: The oral multikinase inhibitor Sorafenib (S) inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth in preclinical models of CRC. This study investigated the addition of S to standard 2nd line chemotherapy (CTX). Methods: Patients (pts) with mCRC and progression after first-line therapy with an oxaliplatin- or irinotecan based fluoropyrimidine containing regimen ± Bevacizumab (Bev), were randomized to receive chemotherapy (CTX) (FOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI) + S (400 mg bid) or CTX + placebo (P). 240 pts were planned to be enrolled to ensure a power of 80% if median progression-free survival (PFS) with S is increased by 2 months compared to P. Results: Between 04/09 and 10/11, 101 pts were enrolled…
Prospective validation of a lymphocyte infiltration prognostic test in stage III colon cancer patients treated with adjuvant FOLFOX.
IF 6.029; International audience; BackgroundThe prognostic value of lymphocyte infiltration (LI) of colorectal carcinoma (CC) has been demonstrated by several groups. However, no validated test is currently available for clinical practice. We previously described an automated and reproducible method for testing LI and aimed to validate it for clinical use.Patients and methodsAccording to National Institutes of Health criteria, we designed a prospective validation of this biomarker in patients included in the PETACC8 phase III study. Primary objective was to compare percentage of patients alive and without recurrence at 2 years in patients with high versus low LI (#NCT02364024). Associations…
