The GOLFIG-2 phase III trial was designed to compare the immunobiological activity and antitumor efficacy of GOLFIG chemoimmunotherapy regimen with standard FOLFOX-4 chemotherapy in frontline treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. This trial was conceived on the basis of previous evidence of antitumor and immunomodulating activity of the GOLFIG regimen in mCRC. GOLFIG-2 is a multicentric open/ label phase III trial (EUDRACT: 2005-003458-81). Chemo-naive mCRC patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive biweekly standard FOLFOX-4 or GOLFIG [gemcitabine (1000 mg/m 2, day 1); oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2, day 2); levofolinate (100 mg/m2, days 1-2), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (400…
Efficacy and safety of ramucirumab (RAM) for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with elevated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) following first-line soraf…

Abstract Background REACH (NCT01140347) and REACH-2 (NCT02435433) were two global, randomized, double-blind, placebo (PL)-controlled multicenter, phase 3 studies of RAM vs PL in patients with HCC after prior sorafenib. REACH-2 confirmed overall survival (OS) benefit of RAM for patients with baseline AFP ≥400ng/mL, consistent with results in a prespecified subgroup of patients in REACH with AFP ≥400ng/mL. Methods Post-hoc pooled analyses were performed to examine efficacy and safety in three age subgroups ( Results Both intention-to-treat populations were pooled (542 patients in total). Within each age subgroup, baseline characteristics between treatment arms were similar. Patients of Conclu…
Clinical Efficacy of Laquinimod for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis; Pooled Analyses from the ALLEGRO and BRAVO Phase III Trials (S01.007)
2012
Objective: The current report provides detail on pooled analyses assessing the effect of laquinimod on relapse, disability, and brain atrophy measures from the recently completed phase III trials ALLEGRO and BRAVO. Background Laquinimod is an oral, CNS acting immunomodulator in development for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Its impact on disability progression and brain atrophy, two indices of longterm outcome for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are being studied in its phase III trials. Design/Methods: MS patients (N=2437) were randomized to laquinimod (n=984) or placebo (n = 1006). In both trials, patients underwent neurological examinations including the Expanded Disability S…
Impact of grouping patients by 2017 GOLD strategy assessment criteria: a post hoc analysis of the TONADO and OTEMTO trials
2017
Introduction: Compared to the 2014 scheme, the 2017 GOLD COPD strategy uses only symptoms and exacerbation history to group patients, and no longer gives reference to the severity of airflow limitation. Aims: This post hoc analysis of TONADO and OTEMTO data aims to determine the impact of updated assessment criteria on patient classification and characteristics within these groups. Methods: TONADO (NCT01431274/NCT01431287; N=5162) and OTEMTO (NCT01964352/NCT02006732; N=1621) Phase III trials investigated efficacy and safety of tiotropium+olodatorol fixed-dose combination in COPD patients. In this analysis, patients were classed as GOLD A–D by the 2017 or 2014 criteria. In TONADO the mMRC Dy…
Immunogenicity and safety of a quadrivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine compared with a standard-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine in h…
2021
A quadrivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4-HD) is licensed for adults ≥65 y of age based on immunogenicity and efficacy studies. However, IIV4-HD has not been evaluated in adults aged 60–64 y. This study compared immunogenicity and safety of IIV4-HD with a standard-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine (IIV4-SD) in adults aged ≥60 y. This Phase III, randomized, modified double-blind, active-controlled study enrolled 1,528 participants aged ≥60 y, randomized 1:1 to a single injection of IIV4-HD or IIV4-SD. Hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) geometric mean titers (GMTs) were measured at baseline and D 28 and seroconversion assessed. Safety was described for 180 d after vaccinat…
Sorafenib for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma
2018
SUMMARY The multikinase inhibitor sorafenib, which inhibits targets related to tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis, was the first systemic agent to demonstrate a significant improvement in the overall survival for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in two large randomized controlled Phase III trials. Together with its manageable safety profile (mainly diarrhea, hand–foot skin reaction and fatigue), sorafenib was approved for the treatment of patients with (unresectable) HCC in 2007. Since then, sorafenib has been established as the standard of care in Child–Pugh A patients with advanced HCC or in those ineligible for or after failure of locoregional therapies in th…
Prognostic and predictive factors in patients treated with ramucirumab (RAM) with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC) and elevated alpha-fetopro…
2021
4146 Background: Elevated AFP in patients with aHCC is a poor prognostic factor with distinct molecular features, including high vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signalling and increased angiogenesis. RAM, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody, VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) inhibitor, demonstrated improved survival vs placebo among patients with elevated AFP in the REACH-2 trial and is accepted as a standard of care for management of aHCC. We analyzed prognostic factors in patients with AFP ≥400 ng/mL and predictors of clinical benefit to RAM in an individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis of the REACH and REACH-2 Phase III trials. Methods: Patients with aHCC, Child-Pugh A, ECOG perfo…
Outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with sorafenib: a meta-analysis of Phase III trials
2019
Aim: To benchmark overall survival (OS) and time to radiological progression (TTP) of patients enrolled in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing sorafenib in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma using individual participant survival data, and to meta-analyze prognostic factors for OS and TTP. Methods: RCTs were identified through literature search until December 2018. Individual participant survival was reconstructed with an algorithm from published Kaplan–Meier curves. Results: Ten RCTs were included. Median OS was 10.0 months (95% CI: 9.6–10.5), and median TTP was 4.1 months (95% CI: 3.8–4.3). Multivariable analyses showed HCV positivity, absence of macrovascular invasion and extra-…
Novel therapeutic options and drug targets in MS
2013
2012 witnessed important developments for multiple sclerosis, including successful phase III trials of novel oral therapeutics and identification of the potassium channel KIR4.1 as an autoimmune target. Additionally, the lung was highlighted as an important site for immune-cell programming, and the relevance of a TNF receptor variant was clarified.
Efficacy and safety of regorafenib for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumours after failure of imatinib and sunitinib (GRID): an international, mu…
2013
Contains fulltext : 118365.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) BACKGROUND: Until now, only imatinib and sunitinib have proven clinical benefit in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), but almost all metastatic GIST eventually develop resistance to these agents, resulting in fatal disease progression. We aimed to assess efficacy and safety of regorafenib in patients with metastatic or unresectable GIST progressing after failure of at least imatinib and sunitinib. METHODS: We did this phase 3 trial at 57 hospitals in 17 countries. Patients with histologically confirmed, metastatic or unresectable GIST, with failure of at least previous imatinib and sunitinib were rando…
