RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Gemcitabine/Cisplatin (Gem/CDDP) combination has demonstrated a clear survival advantage over gemcitabine alone and has become a new standard in advanced Biliary Tract Carcinoma (aBTC). However, Gemcitabine/Oxaliplatin (GEMOX) combination and Gemcitabine/Carboplatin (Gem/Carb) combination regimens have shown efficacy in phase II trials and there is no comparative study between different platinum salts.We assessed the efficacy and safety of different platinum-based chemotherapies at first line in aBTC patients. We also analysed the second-line chemotherapy. METHODS: Sixty-four consecutive patients with aBTC diagnosed between 1998 and 2010 were included for analysis. At first line chemotherapy, 44 patients received one day GEMOX regimen (gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 and oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 Day 1, every 2 weeks), and 20 patients received Gem/Carb regimen (gemcitabine at 1000 mg/m2 Days 1 and 8 with carboplatin delivered according to an area-under-the-curve (AUC) 5 at day 1, every 3 weeks). At second line, a total of 16 patients received a fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy. RESULTS: With GEMOX regimen, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.7 months (95%CI, 2.4 to 5) and median overall survival (OS) was 10.5 months (95%CI, 6.4 to14.7). The main toxicity was peripheral neuropathy (20% grade 2 and 7% grade 3). Grade 3/4 haematological toxicities were rare.With Gem/Carb regimen, PFS was 2.5 months (95%CI, 2.1 to 3.7) and OS was 4.8 months (95%CI, 3.7 to 5.8). The main grade 3/4 toxicities were haematological: anaemia (45%), thrombocytopenia (45%), and neutropenia (40%).At second-line, fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy was feasible in only a fourth of the patients. The median OS was 5.3 months (95%CI, 4.1 to 6.6), and median PFS was 4.0 months (95%CI, 2.6 to 5.5). CONCLUSIONS: One day GEMOX regimen has a favourable toxicity profile and could be an alternative to standard Gem/CDDP regimen, in particular in unfit patients for CDDP.At second-line, selective patients may benefit from fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Optimization of chemotherapy effectiveness in metastatic colorectal cancers (mCRC) is a major endpoint to enhance the possibility of curative intent surgery. FOLFIRI3 has shown promising results as second-line chemotherapy for mCRC patients previously exposed to oxaliplatin. The clinical efficacy of FOLFIRI3 was never determined in association with bevacizumab in non-previously treated mCRC patients. METHODS: We conducted a phase II clinical trial to characterize the response rate and toxicity profile of FOLFIRI3-bevacizumab as initial treatment for mCRC. Sixty-one patients enrolled in 3 investigation centers were treated with FOLFIRI3-bevacizumab (median of 10 cycles) followed by a maintenance therapy combining bevacizumab and capecitabine. Levels of plasma angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at baseline. RESULTS: Overall response rate (ORR) was 66.7% (8% of complete and 58% of partial responses). The disease control rate was 91.7%. After a median time of follow-up of 46.7 months, 56 patients (92%) had progressed or died. The median progression free survival (PFS) was 12.7 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 9.7-15.8 months). The median overall survival (OS) was 24.5 months (95% CI: 10.6-38.3 months). Twenty-one patients underwent curative intent-surgery including 4 patients with disease initially classified as unresectable. Most common grade III-IV toxicities were diarrhea (15%), neutropenia (13%), asthenia (10%), and infections (4%). Hypertension-related medications needed to be increased in 3 patients. In multivariate analysis, surgery of metastases and Ang-2 levels were the only independent prognostic factors for PFS and OS. Indeed, baseline level of Ang-2 above 5 ng/mL was confirmed as an independent prognostic factor for progression free survival (HR = 0.357; 95% CI: 0.168-0.76, p = 0.005) and overall survival (HR = 0.226; 95% CI: 0.098-0.53, p = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS: As front-line therapy, FOLFIRI-3-bevacizumab is associated with an acceptable toxicity and induced promising objective response rates. However, unfavorable clinical outcomes were observed in patients with high levels of angiopoietin-2.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Because over 90% of serum cortisol is bound to albumin and corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), changes in these proteins can affect measures of serum total cortisol levels in cirrhotics without altering serum-free and salivary cortisol concentrations. METHODS: We assessed basal (T0) and post-synacthen (T60) serum total cortisol, serum-free and salivary cortisol in 125 consecutive cirrhotics (95 non-septic and 30 septic patients with a Child>8). RESULTS: Serum total cortisol levels significantly decreased from the Child A-C non-septic group, as did albumin and CBG levels, with a non-significant rise in serum-free cortisol concentrations. Non-septic patients with low albumin (≤25 g/L) or CBG levels (≤35 mg/L) had lower T0 serum total cortisol levels than patients with near-normal albumin (303.4 vs. 382.6 nmol/L; P=0.0035) or with normal CBG levels (289.9 vs. 441.4 nmol/L; P<0.0001), respectively, despite similar serum-free cortisol or salivary cortisol concentrations. Subnormal T60 serum total cortisol concentrations (<510.4 nmol/L) were measured in 7.2% of all patients (Child C: 14.5% vs. Child A and B: 0%; P=0.0013) but no patients exhibited symptoms suggesting adrenal insufficiency. Patients with or without subnormal T60 total cortisol had similar T0 salivary cortisol and serum-free cortisol concentrations. A trend was observed towards high serum-free cortisol concentrations and mortality in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Serum total cortisol levels overestimated the prevalence of adrenal dysfunction in cirrhotics with end-stage liver disease. Since serum-free cortisol cannot be measured routinely, salivary cortisol testing could represent a useful approach but needs to be standardized.

RESUMO

Background: In advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (aPDAC), there is no consensual strategy for second-line chemotherapy (L2). Better discrimination of overall survival (OS) may help clinical decision-making. We aimed to predict OS from the beginning of L2 and to assess the benefit from chemotherapy among the identified risk groups. Methods: Analyses were derived from all consecutive aPDAC patients treated at Besancon University Hospital, Besancon, France, between January 2003 and December 2013 (n = 462). The association of 50 parameters with OS was evaluated using univariate and multivariable Cox analyses. Based on the final model, a prognostic nomogram and score were developed and externally validated. Patients in the external validation cohort who received L2 (n = 163) were treated at three French institutions between January 2010 and April 2016. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results: In the development cohort, 395 patients (85.5%) were eligible for L2, of which 261 (66.1%) were treated. Age, smoking status, liver metastases, performance status, pain, jaundice, ascites, duration of first-line, and type of L2 regimen were identified as independent prognostic factors for OS in L2. The score determined three groups with median OS of 11.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI] = 9.1 to 12.9 months), 3.6 months (95% CI = 2.6 to 4.7 months), and 1.4 months (95% CI = 1.2 to 1.7 months), for low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups, respectively ( P < .001). By applying the score in the population eligible for L2 but untreated, the chemotherapy benefit was statistically significant across all groups, but with a magnitude of the effect decreased statistically significantly from low- to high-risk groups ( P = .001 for treatment and risk groups interaction term). The ability of the score to discriminate OS was confirmed in the external validation cohort. Conclusions: This prognostic nomogram and score in patients with aPDAC can accurately predict OS before administration of L2 and may help clinicians in their therapeutic decisions.

RESUMO

Docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (DCF) significantly improved overall survival in metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA). The aim of this study was to assess efficacy of DCF regimen as perioperative chemotherapy compared with surgery alone in patients with resectable GEA. We identified 789 patients who underwent surgery alone and 62 patients who received at least one cycle of DCF regimen consisting of docetaxel (75 mg/m2 on day 1), cisplatin (75 mg/m2 on day 1), and 5-fluorouracil (750 mg/m2 /day on continuous perfusion on days 1 to 5), every 3 weeks. Overall survival was compared using Cox proportional hazards regression model with adjustments for confounding factors provided by two propensity score methods: inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and matched-pair analysis. In Cox multivariate analysis weighted by IPTW, DCF group was associated with favorable overall survival (OS) compared with the surgery group (HR = 0.59; 95% CI, 0.45-0.78; P = 0.0003). For the matched-pair analysis (comparing 41 patients for each group with the same baseline characteristics), median OS was 22 months and 57 months for the surgery group and DCF group, respectively (log-rank P = 0.0011). In Cox multivariate analysis, DCF group was associated with favorable OS compared with the surgery group (HR = 0.29; 95% IC, 0.14-0.64; P = 0.0019). In the matched-pair population, major complications (Dindo-Clavien grade 3-5) arose in six patients (14.63%) in the DCF group and seven patients (17.07%) in the surgery group (P = 1). Perioperative DCF chemotherapy is superior to surgery alone in terms of OS. A randomized phase III trial should compare DCF to standard perioperative regimens.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Perioperative chemotherapy improves the overall survival of resectable gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) patients. However, more than 40 % of the patients are not healthy enough to complete their post-operative chemotherapy, and the progression-free survival rate is lower than 35 % at 5 years. In order to optimise neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen, a pilot study of weekly dose-intensified cisplatin, epirubicin, and paclitaxel (PET) was conducted. The primary objective was a complete resection (R0) rate. Then, a R0 rate ≤80 % was considered as uninteresting, with an expected R0 rate of 92 %. Secondary objectives were the feasibility, safety, histological response rate (Becker score), and survival (Trial registration: NCT01830270). METHODS: Patients with >T1N0M0 GEA were included. Treatment consisted of eight preoperative cycles of weekly PET regimen at 30/50/80 mg/m² of cisplatin, epirubicin, and paclitaxel, respectively. Primary prophylaxis by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was administered. Surgery was performed 4-6 weeks following the last cycle of chemotherapy. Using Fleming two-step design with a unilateral alpha type one error of 5 % and a statistical power of 80 %, it would be required to include 68 patients. At planned interim analysis for futility, it was required to observe at least 25 of 29 patients with R0 resection to pursue inclusion. At the second step, it was required to observe at least 61 of 68 patients with R0 resection to conclude for promising activity of the dose-intensified chemotherapy. RESULTS: Between May 2011 and January 2013, 29 patients were enrolled. Median age was 62 years (range 39-83 years), and seven (24 %) patients presented signet-ring cell histology. Twenty-seven (93 %) patients underwent surgery. Pathological complete responses (Becker score 1a) were observed in four patients, and nearly complete responses (Becker score 1b) for additional three patients. A R0 rate was achieved for 24 of 29 (82.7 %; 95 % CI 64-94 %) patients. No Becker score 1a/1b response was observed among patients with signet-ring cell GEA. Twenty-one (72 %) patients completed all eight cycles, and 86 % received seven or more cycles. Sixteen (56 %) patients experienced grade 3-4 neutropenia, and five patients had febrile neutropenia. Among non-haematological toxicities, mucositis and fatigue were the most frequent ones. The median-delivered relative dose intensity (DI) was 80 % for cisplatin, 75 % for epirubicin, and 79 % for paclitaxel. However, only 45 % of the patients received at least 80 % of the planned median DI for all three drugs. CONCLUSIONS: Despite high R0 and pathological response rates, neoadjuvant PET chemotherapy did not meet the primary end-point and failed to show an acceptable relative DI. PET chemotherapy is not recommended in resectable GEA patients.
