Overall survival at 5 years of follow-up in a phase III trial comparing ipilimumab 10 mg/kg with 3 mg/kg in patients with advanced melanoma
2020
BackgroundWe have previously reported significantly longer overall survival (OS) with ipilimumab 10 mg/kg versus ipilimumab 3 mg/kg in patients with advanced melanoma, with higher incidences of adverse events (AEs) at 10 mg/kg. This follow-up analysis reports a 5-year update of OS and safety.MethodsThis randomized, multicenter, double-blind, phase III trial included patients with untreated or previously treated unresectable stage III or IV melanoma. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to ipilimumab 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 3 weeks for 4 doses. The primary end point was OS.ResultsAt a minimum follow-up of 61 months, median OS was 15.7 months (95% CI 11.6 to 17.8) at 10 mg/kg and 11.5 mont…
Abstract PD1-02: A phase I/Ib study evaluating GDC-0077 + palbociclib (palbo) + fulvestrant in patients (pts) with PIK3CA-mutant (mut), hormone recep…

Abstract Background GDC-0077 is a PI3Kα-selective inhibitor and mutant PI3Kα degrader that demonstrates antitumor activity in PIK3CAmut BC xenograft models. A phase I/Ib study of GDC-0077 alone and combined with endocrine therapy ± the CDK4/6 inhibitor (i) palbo is ongoing (NCT03006172). Data from GDC-0077 + palbo + fulvestrant in pts with PIK3CAmut, HR+/HER2- mBC are presented herein. Methods Safety (NCI-CTCAE v4), pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary antitumor activity (clinical benefit rate [CBR]: RECIST v1.1 stable disease for ≥ 24 weeks, partial response [PR], or complete response) of 9 mg oral once daily GDC-0077 + 125 mg palbo 21/28 days + 500 mg intramuscular fulvestrant on day 1 …
A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled multicenter phase II trial of adjuvant immunotherapy with tecemotide (L-BLP25) after R0/R1 hepatic c…
2019
480 Background: Hepatic metastasectomy is the only potential curative treatment option for stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) limited to liver metastases (LM). After R0 resection of LM the high recurrence rate remains a major challenge. L-BLP25 is an antigen-specific cancer vaccine targeting mucin 1 (MUC1). The LICC trial aimed to improve survival outcome in mCRC patients (pts) after R0/R1 LM resection. Methods: This LICC trial, a binational, multicenter, double-blinded, placebo controlled phase II trial, included pts with stage IV LM limited CRC after resection of primary tumor and LM (R0/R1) within the last 8 weeks, ECOG 0/1 and adequate organ function. Pts were 2:1 randomized to receive L…
Survival after secondary liver resection in metastatic colorectal cancer: Comparing data of three prospective randomized European trials ( LICC , CEL…
2021
Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients with liver-limited disease (LLD) have a chance of long-term survival and potential cure after hepatic metastasectomy. However, the appropriate postoperative treatment strategy is still controversial. The CELIM and FIRE-3 studies demonstrated that secondary hepatic resection significantly improved overall survival. The objective of this analysis was to compare these favorable outcome data with recent results from the LICC trial investigating the antigen-specific cancer vaccine tecemotide (L-BLP-25) as adjuvant therapy in mCRC patients with LLD after R0/R1 resection. Data from mCRC patients with LLD and secondary hepatic resection from each study w…
Abstract PS11-11: Targeted safety events from a phase I/Ib study evaluating GDC-0077 alone and in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) ± palbocicl…
2021
Abstract Background Activating mutations in PIK3CA, encoding the p110α subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) occur in ~40% of HR+/HER2- BCs. GDC-0077, a PI3Kα-selective inhibitor and mutant PI3Kα degrader, is being developed as an anticancer agent. A phase I/Ib study of GDC-0077 alone and combined with other therapies is ongoing in pts with locally advanced or metastatic PIK3CAmut, HR+/HER2- mBC (NCT03006172). Targeted safety events are presented here. Methods Safety was assessed via NCI-CTCAE v4 for GDC-0077 administered alone (Arm A), with letrozole and palbo (Arm B), with letrozole (Arm C), with fulvestrant (Arm D), or with fulvestrant and palbo (Arm E, plus metformin in Arm F …
Phase II study of mitomycin C, etoposide and vindesine in metastatic stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer.
1991
A total of 72 patients with metastatic stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were treated with combination chemotherapy comprising the MEV regimen (mitomycin C, 8 mg/m2 given i. v. on day 1; etoposide, 100 mg/m2 given i.v. on days 1–3; and vindesine, 3 mg/m2 given i.v. on day 1; treatment repeated every 3 weeks). In 64 evaluable patients, the objective response rate was 37% (complete responses, 4.7%; partial responses, 32.3%). The median survival was 7.6 months for all patients. The treatment was very well tolerated. MEV proved to be an active and non-toxic regimen for the treatment of metastatic NSCLC.
Wider implications of video-assisted thoracic surgery versus open approach for lung metastasectomy
2015
ABSTRACT Lung metastasectomy is considered a safe and potentially curative procedure despite there is not a strong evidence that metastasectomy prolongs long-term survival in patients with lung metastases. Moreover, the debate is open regarding the best approach for lung metastasectomy, video-assisted thoracic surgery versus open approach. A systematic review of literature to clarify what is the best approach to prolong survival in patients with lung metastases was performed. Our study confirms that overall survival is equivalent for video-assisted thoracic surgery and thoracotomy, therefore the ‘gold standard’ surgical treatment for lung metastases remains a point of debate. The choice o…
Elevated tumor lactate concentrations predict for an increased risk of metastases in head-and-neck cancer.
2001
Purpose: Hypoxia shifts the balance of cellular energy production toward glycolysis with lactate generation as a by-product. Quantitative bioluminescence imaging allows for the quantitation of lactate concentrations in individual tumors. We assessed the relationship between pretreatment tumor lactate concentrations and subsequent development of metastatic disease in patients with newly diagnosed head-and-neck cancer. Methods and Materials: At the time of biopsy of the primary site, a separate specimen was taken and flash-frozen for subsequent quantitation of lactate concentration using a luciferase bioluminescence technique. The twodimensional spatial distribution of the bioluminescence int…
Bcl-2 and glutathione depletion sensitizes B16 melanoma to combination therapy and eliminates metastatic disease.
2007
Abstract Purpose: Advanced melanoma resists all current therapies, and metastases in the liver are particularly problematic. Prevalent resistance factors include elevated glutathione (GSH) and increased expression of bcl-2 in melanoma cells. GSH has pleiotropic effects promoting cell growth and broad resistance to therapy, whereas Bcl-2 inhibits the activation of apoptosis and contributes to elevation of GSH. This study determined the in vivo efficacy of combination therapies administered while GSH and Bcl-2 were individually and simultaneously decreased in metastatic melanoma lesions. Experimental Design: Highly metastatic murine B16 melanoma (B16M-F10) cells have elevated levels of both G…

TPS3124^ Background: 15-20% of all patients (pts) diagnosed with colorectal cancer (crc) develop metastases (mets) surgical resection remains the only potentially curative treatment available. Current 5-year survival rate following R0 resection of liver mets lies between 28-39%, recurrence occurs in up to 70% of pts. To date, adjuvant chemotherapy has not significantly improved clinical outcomes. The primary objective of the ongoing LICC trial (L-BLP25 In Colorectal Cancer) is to determine whether L-BLP25, an active MUC1-specific cancer immunotherapy, extends recurrence-free survival (RFS) time over placebo in crc pts following R0/R1 resection of liver mets known to highly express MUC1 gly…
