PaFLO: Pazopanib with 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FLO) as first-line treatment in advanced gastric cancer: A randomized phase II stu…

2012

TPS4138 Background: VEGF inhibition in gastric cancer shows promising improvement of remission rate and progression-free survival (Ohtsu et al., JCO 2011). Pazopanib is an orally available tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) selectively inhibiting VEGFR-1, -2, -3, c-kit and PDGFR. It is approved for treating renal cell cancer. A phase-I trial showed good tolerability of pazopanib with full-dose FOLFOX in solid tumors (Brady et al., ASCO, 2009). FLO is a widely used combination for advanced gastric cancer recommended in national guidelines. Methods: 75 Patients with HER-2-negative locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach or the gastro-esophageal junction will be randomized i…

Lenvatinib (len) plus pembrolizumab (pembro) for the first-line treatment of patients (pts) with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): Phase 3 LEA…

2019

TPS4152 Background: Len, an inhibitor of VEGF receptors 1-3, FGF receptors 1-4, PDGF receptor α, RET, and KIT, is approved for first-line treatment of unresectable HCC (uHCC) based on the open-label phase 3 REFLECT study in which len showed noninferior overall survival (OS) and significantly improved objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and time-to-progression (TTP) vs sorafenib. In the phase 2 KEYNOTE-224 study of pembro (a PD-1 inhibitor) as second-line treatment of advanced HCC, pembro showed meaningful clinical efficacy in pts previously treated with sorafenib, with median PFS 4.9 mo, median OS 12.9 mo, and a manageable safety profile. In results from the pha…

Real-World Experience of CPX-351 As First-Line Treatment in 188 Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

2021

Abstract Background In a recent phase-III trial CPX-351 (Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, CA), a liposomal encapsulation of cytarabine and daunorubicin, has shown higher remission rates and longer overall survival (OS) in patients aged 60 to 75 years with AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC) or therapy-related AML (t-AML) in comparison to conventional 7+3 regimen. Based on this CPX-351 has been approved in the USA 2017 and in Europe 2018 for adult patients with newly-diagnosed AML-MRC or t-AML. Still, several issues such as age (<60 years), measurable residual disease (MRD), molecular subgroups and outcome after allo-HCT were not addressed in the phase-III trial. Aiming …

“Bevacizumab (Bev), irinotecan (IRI), folinic acid (FA), and 5-fluorouracil (FU) every 2 weeks (BIFF regimen) as first-line treatment for metastatic …

e15067 Background: The IRIFAFU regimen produced in MCRC pts a consistent activity (RR, 33% [95% CI, 27–39%], PFS, 7.4 [95% CI, 6.5–8.3] mo.) in 2 consecutive randomized SICOG trials . Bev was proven to significantly improve the efficacy of IFL regimen. Here we report the safety and activity results of the BIFF regimen as first-line treatment of MCRC. Patients: From Feb 2007 to Jul 2008, 95 pts with MCRC were treated: so far, 85 pts were evaluated for safety: M/F were 47/38, median age (range) was 64 (35–78) yrs. Fifty-six pts had a colon, and 29 pts a rectal carcinoma. ECOG PS was 0 (63 pts, 74%), or 1 (22 pts, 26%). Thirty-four (40%) pts had 1 site, 33 (39%) 2 sites, and 18 (21%) pts ≥3 s…

OP0015 Induction of remission and maintenance in early, aggressive rheumatoid arthritis using adalimumab in combination with methotrexate with or wit…

2017

Background Remission is the current aim of early RA treatment. In patients with early, aggressive RA, combination with adalimumab (ADA) plus methotrexate (MTX) was superior to either MTX or ADA alone in obtaining clinical remission. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that a short-term aggressive treatment with high-dose glucocorticoids (GC) plus conventional DMARDs lead to long-term (up to 5 years) benefits. Objectives To compare the proportion of patients who achieve remission at 12 months, between two groups of subjects treated with ADA + MTX + high dose GC (intensive) and ADA + MTX + placebo (standard), and to evaluate the proportion of those maintaining remission at 24 months, after dis…

Exploratory findings from a prematurely closed international, multicentre, academic trial: RAVELLO, a phase III study of regorafenib versus placebo a…

2019

Background In patients with RAS wild-type (WT) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), the role of maintenance therapy after first-line treatment with chemotherapy plus antiepidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) is still an object of debate. Methods We assessed the efficacy and safety of regorafenib as a switch maintenance strategy after upfront 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy plus an anti- EGFR MoAb in patients with RAS WT mCRC. RAVELLO was a phase III, international, double-blind, placebocontrolled, academic trial. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival and toxicity. Regorafenib or placebo were a…

EAACI/GA²LEN/EDF/WAO guideline: management of urticaria

2009

This guideline, together with its sister guideline on the classification of urticaria (Zuberbier T, Asero R, Bindslev-Jensen C, Canonica GW, Church MK, Gimenez-Arnau AM et al. EAACI/GA(2)LEN/EDF/WAO Guideline: definition, classification and diagnosis of urticaria. Allergy 2009;64: 1417-1426), is the result of a consensus reached during a panel discussion at the Third International Consensus Meeting on Urticaria, Urticaria 2008, a joint initiative of the Dermatology Section of the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (EAACI), the EU-funded network of excellence, the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA(2)LEN), the European Dermatology Forum (EDF) and the World Al…

Clinical and metabolic effects of first-line treatment with somatostatin analogues or surgery in acromegaly: a retrospective and comparative study.

2012

To evaluate the metabolic effects of first-line somatostatin analogues or surgery in acromegaly. Retrospective, comparative, 12-month follow-up. Two hundred and thirty one patients (123 men, age 47.32 ± 14.63 years) with active acromegaly, first line treatments were somatostatin analogues in 151 (65.4%) and surgery in 80 (34.6%). Metabolic syndrome (MS) parameters, glucose, insulin and GH during oral glucose tolerance test, stimulated insulin sensitivity by insulin sensitivity index (ISI Matsuda), early and total insulin-secretion rate by insulinogenic index and AUC(INS), visceral adiposity function, expressed by visceral adipose index (VAI). Somatostatin analogues treatment improved all MS…
