Interassay and interobserver comparability study of four programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry assays in triple-negative breast canc…
2021
Different immunohistochemical programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) assays and scorings have been reported to yield variable results in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We compared the analytical concordance and reproducibility of four clinically relevant PD-L1 assays assessing immune cell (IC) score, tumor proportion score (TPS), and combined positive score (CPS) in TNBC. Primary TNBC resection specimens (n = 104) were stained for PD-L1 using VENTANA SP142, VENTANA SP263, DAKO 22C3, and DAKO 28–8. PD-L1 expression was scored according to guidelines on virtual whole slide images by four trained readers. The mean PD-L1 positivity at IC-score ≥1% and CPS ≥1 ranged between 53% and 75% with th…
The impact of TP53 mutation on high-risk rectal cancer patients treated within the EXPERT-C trial, a randomized phase II study of neoadjuvant oxalipl…
2012
e14088 Background: The EXPERT-C trial randomised 165 patients into neoadjuvant CAPOX and CRT ± cetuximab and demonstrated a significant increase in radiological response (RR) and overall survival (OS) with cetuximab in KRAS/BRAF wild type (WT) rectal cancer (Dewdney et al JCO in press). TP53 mutation has been associated with worse CRT response and survival in rectal cancer and could lead to stimulation of PI3K signalling pathway, thus potential resistance to cetuximab. This analysis evaluates the impact of TP53 mutation in the EXPERT-C trial. Methods: FFPE tissue from biopsy (n=102) and resection specimens (n=99) were analysed for TP53 mutations (exons 5-8) using a multiplex PCR method fol…
High-dose radiotherapy for oligo-progressive NSCLC receiving EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors: Real world data
2020
Background/aim Local ablative treatments for oligo-progressive, EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer (mut-NCSLC) may improve long-term disease control and survival. We analyzed the efficacy of hypo-fractionated, high-dose radiation therapy (HDRT), in association with prolonged EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in oligo-progressive, EGFR mutant-NSCLC. Patients and methods Progression-free survival-1 (PFS-1, date from initiation of TKI therapy until oligo-progression or death), and progression-free survival-2 (PFS-2, date of focal progression until further progression or death) were evaluated. Results Thirty-six patients were analyzed. The median PFS 1 was 12.5 months. HDHRT consisted …
Survival after secondary liver resection in metastatic colorectal cancer: A comparative analysis of the LICC trial with historical controls (CELIM, F…
2019
e15025 Background: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients (pts) with liver-limited disease (LLD) have a chance of long-term overall survival (OS) and potential cure after complete hepatic metastasectomy. The appropriate postoperative treatment strategy is still controversial. L-BLP25 as antigen-specific cancer vaccine targeting mucin 1 (MUC1) was recently evaluated as adjuvant therapy in mCRC pts after R0/R1 LLD resection (LICC trial, NCT01462513). Here we compared the LICC surveillance program and efficacy results for secondarily resected LLD pts versus historical controls, i.e. the CELIM trial (Folprecht et al, Ann Oncol 2014) of potentially resectable LLD mCRC pts and a FIRE-3-LLD…

Five-year overall survival (OS) in COLUMBUS: A randomized phase 3 trial of encorafenib plus binimetinib versus vemurafenib or encorafenib in patients…
2021
9507 Background: Combined BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy has demonstrated benefits on progression-free survival (PFS) and OS and is standard of care for the treatment of advanced BRAF V600-mutant melanoma. Here we report a 5-year update from the COLUMBUS trial. Methods: In Part 1 of COLUMBUS, 577 pts with advanced/metastatic BRAF V600-mutant melanoma, untreated or progressed after first-line immunotherapy, were randomized 1:1:1 to encorafenib 450 mg QD + binimetinib 45 mg BID (COMBO450), encorafenib 300 mg QD (ENCO300), or vemurafenib 960 mg BID (VEM). An updated analysis including PFS, OS, objective response rate (ORR; by blinded independent central review), and safety was conducted after min…
Ofatumumab retreatment and maintenance in patients with fludarabine-refractory CLL.
2012
6584 Background: In Study 406, the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody ofatumumab (ofa), given as monotherapy over 6 months, showed 47% overall response rate (ORR) in patients (pts) with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) refractory to fludarabine and alemtuzumab (FA-ref), or to fludarabine with bulky (>5cm) lymphadenopathy (BF-ref). The effects of ofa retreatment (retx) and maintenance (mt) are unknown. Methods: Pts who responded to ofa and then progressed or had stable disease (SD) in Study 406, were offered retx in Study 416 (NCT00802737; GSK/Genmab) with ofa 1 x 300 mg + 7 x 2000 mg weekly followed by mt with ofa 2000 mg monthly for up to 2 years (if SD or better). Primary endpoint was OR…
Progression-Free Survival Early Assessment Is a Robust Surrogate Endpoint of Overall Survival in Immunotherapy Trials of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
2020
Background: Radiology-based outcomes, such as progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR), are used as surrogate endpoints in oncology trials. We aimed to assess the surrogacy relationship of PFS with overall survival (OS) in clinical trials of systemic therapies targeting advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by novel meta-regression methods. Methods: A search of databases (PubMed, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Meeting Libraries, Clinicaltrials.gov) for trials of systemic therapies for advanced HCC reporting both OS and PFS was performed. Individual patient data were extracted from PFS and OS Kaplan&nd…

Intracellular signalling via the AKT axis and downstream effectors is active and prognostically significant in cancer of unknown primary (CUP): a stu…
2012
Background: Hypothesising that cancer of unknown primary (CUP) may harbour unique characteristics, we present a translational study of the immunohistochemical expression and clinical correlation of key PTEN/AKT pathway molecules. Patients and methods: We collected 100 paraffin-embedded CUP tissue blocks. We studied using tissue microarrays the expression of PTEN, phospho-AKT, Cyclin D1, p21, phospho-RPS6. From the percentage of staining tumour cells and the literature, we selected cut-offs to classify the expression of each biomolecule. We correlated IHC expression with clinical data. Results: PTEN, pAKT, and pRPS6 showed frequent expression. At univariate analysis, high IHC expression of p…
