Correlations Between Ofatumumab Exposure and Treatment Outcomes for patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Treated with Frontline Ofatumuma…
2011
Abstract Abstract 1793 Introduction: Results: Seven pts (4 male) with a medianLittle is known about the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) with chemotherapy in patients (pts) with CLL. Ofatumumab (O) is a human mAb targeting a membrane-proximal small-loop epitope on CD20 and mediates efficient complement-dependent cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Safety and efficacy of O at 2 dose levels in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) were evaluated in previously untreated pts with CLL. Relationship between O PK, baseline characteristics, and clinical outcomes were studied. Pts and Methods: Pts with active CL…
Prognostic factors for progression-free and overall survival in advanced biliary tract cancer
2015
BACKGROUND: Biliary tract cancer is an uncommon cancer with a poor outcome. We assembled data from the National Cancer Research Institute (UK) ABC-02 study and 10 international studies to determine prognostic outcome characteristics for patients with advanced disease.METHODS: Multivariable analyses of the final dataset from the ABC-02 study were carried out. All variables were simultaneously included in a Cox proportional hazards model, and backward elimination was used to produce the final model (using a significance level of 10%), in which the selected variables were associated independently with outcome. This score was validated externally by receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis using…

Nal-IRI/LV5-FU versus paclitaxel as second-line therapy in patients with metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OESIRI)-PRODIGE 62: A multice…
2020
Half of patients newly diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) have metastatic disease (mESCC) and therefore a poor prognosis. Furthermore, half of patients with initial loco-regional disease present disease recurrence after surgery and/or chemoradiation. In mESCC, the recommended first-line treatment combines 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin, although this has not been validated by a phase III trial. Patients with disease progression or recurrence after platinum-based chemotherapy and good performance status probably benefit from second-line chemotherapy. Several molecules have been evaluated in phase I/II trials or retrospective studies (docetaxel, paclitaxel and irinotecan) but…
Randomized Phase 3 Trial of Regorafenib in Patients (Patients) with Metastatic and/or Unresectable Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Progressing …
2012
LBA10008 Background: Oral multikinase inhibitor regorafenib (REG) demonstrated substantial activity in a phase II trial in pts with GIST after failure of both IM and SU (J Clin Oncol. 2011; 29:606s; abstr 10007). This phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of REG for this unmet clinical need. Methods: Eligible pts had metastatic and/or unresectable GIST, objective failure of both prior IM and SU (progressive disease [PD] on, or intolerance to, IM and PD on SU), ≥1 measurable lesion, ECOG performance status 0 or 1. Pts were randomized 2:1 to receive best supportive care plus either REG 160 mg po once daily (3 wks on/1 wk off) or placeb…
Durable Molecular Remissions in Patients with Relapsed CML Post Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation upon Treatment with Imatinib-Mesylate (Glivec®, …
2004
Abstract Purpose: In a phase II clinical trial we have previously reported on the safety and efficacy of imatinib mesylate (IM) to induce hematologic, cytogenetic and molecular remissions in case of relapse post allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML). Here we report on an extended follow-up phase, which was performed to monitor stability of responses and further disease course in patients enrolled. Patients and Methods: Within the trial, patients, transplanted in chronic phase (CP) CML with molecular or cytogenetic relapse (n=37), received IM at a starting dose of 400mg. Close monitoring was performed, which, besides evaluation of sid…
An international consortium proposal of uniform response criteria for myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) in adults
2015
Abstract Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are hematologically diverse stem cell malignancies sharing phenotypic features of both myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative neoplasms. There are currently no standard treatment recommendations for most adult patients with MDS/MPN. To optimize efforts to improve the management and disease outcomes, it is essential to identify meaningful clinical and biologic end points and standardized response criteria for clinical trials. The dual dysplastic and proliferative features in these stem cell malignancies define their uniqueness and challenges. We propose response assessment guidelines to harmonize future…
Quality of life after pulmonary stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy (SBRT): Results of the phase II STRIPE trial.
2019
Preserving health related quality of life (HRQOL) plays an important role in considering stereotactic body fractionated radiotherapy (SBRT). The prospective monocenter phase II STRIPE trial investigated long-term HRQOL after SBRT, efficacy and toxicity.Patients with ≤2 pulmonary lesions ≤5 cm were treated with 4DPET/CT-based SBRT (3 × 12.5 Gy or risk-adapted 5 × 7 Gy, to 60% isodose). Follow up (FU) was performed 2 and 7 weeks after SBRT, then 3-monthly for 2 years with assessment of response (primary endpoint: 2-year cumulative incidence of local progression (LP); secondary endpoints: local progression free survival (LPFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicity (CTCAE)). Impact of predefined …
Definitions for response and progression in ovarian cancer clinical trials incorporating RECIST 1.1 and CA 125 agreed by the Gynecological Cancer Int…
2011
The Gynecological Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) has previously reached consensus regarding the criteria that should be used in clinical trial protocols to define progression-free survival after first-line therapy as well as the criteria to define response to treatment in recurrent disease using the serum marker CA 125 and has specified the situations where these criteria should be used. However, the publications did not include detailed definitions, nor were they written to accommodate the new version of Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria (version 1.1) now available. Thus, we recommend that the definitions described later in detail are incorporated into clinical trial…
Chemotherapy in advanced pancreatic cancer
1997
Patients with advanced adenocarcinomas of the pancreas have an exceptionally poor prognosis. Modest activity has been demonstrated with single agents (response rates of 25% at best with 5-fluorouracil [5-FU] and mitomycin). Better results have not been obtained by combination chemotherapy. Improvements in the palliation have been achieved by treatment with 5-FU, folinic acid (FA), and interferon-alpha-2A (IFN-alpha) weekly in the context of a phase II trial. Of 57 evaluable patients, eight (14%) had a partial response (PR), eight (14%) a minor response (MR), and 28 (49%) had no change of disease (NC). The median survival time was 10 mo for patients with progressive disease. Twenty-two out o…
