RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In a previous phase 3 trial, treatment with trifluridine-tipiracil (FTD-TPI) prolonged overall survival among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Preliminary data from single-group and randomized phase 2 trials suggest that treatment with FTD-TPI in addition to bevacizumab has the potential to extend survival. METHODS: We randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, adult patients who had received no more than two previous chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer to receive FTD-TPI plus bevacizumab (combination group) or FTD-TPI alone (FTD-TPI group). The primary end point was overall survival. Secondary end points were progression-free survival and safety, including the time to worsening of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance-status score from 0 or 1 to 2 or more (on a scale from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater disability). RESULTS: A total of 246 patients were assigned to each group. The median overall survival was 10.8 months in the combination group and 7.5 months in the FTD-TPI group (hazard ratio for death, 0.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.49 to 0.77; P<0.001). The median progression-free survival was 5.6 months in the combination group and 2.4 months in the FTD-TPI group (hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.54; P<0.001). The most common adverse events in both groups were neutropenia, nausea, and anemia. No treatment-related deaths were reported. The median time to worsening of the ECOG performance-status score from 0 or 1 to 2 or more was 9.3 months in the combination group and 6.3 months in the FTD-TPI group (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.43 to 0.67). CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer, treatment with FTD-TPI plus bevacizumab resulted in longer overall survival than FTD-TPI alone.

BACKGROUND: Trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) is approved in third-line treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas (aGA/GEJA). The association of oxaliplatin with FTD/TPI is promising and the combination of FTD/TPI + oxaliplatin + nivolumab has shown a predictable and manageable safety profile. AIMS: The aim is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FTD/TPI plus oxaliplatin with or without nivolumab in patients, with HER2 negative aGA/GEJA, unfit for triplet chemotherapy (TFOX/mFLOT regimen), in the first-line metastatic setting in comparison with the standard of care FOLFOX with or without nivolumab. METHODS: This study is a prospective randomised, open label, comparative, multicentre, phase II trial designed to include 118 patients. The primary objective is to evaluate the superiority of FTD/TPI plus oxaliplatin with or without nivolumab over FOLFOX regimen with or without nivolumab in terms of PFS in a population of patients non candidate for triplet chemotherapy. Nivolumab will be used for patients whose tumour express PD-L1 with a CPS score ≥5. DISCUSSION: PRODIGE73-UCGI40-LOGICAN study will provide efficacy and safety data on the association of FTD/TPI plus oxaliplatin with or without nivolumab versus FOLFOX regimen with or without nivolumab in first-line palliative setting, in patients with aGA/GEJA (NCT05476796).

BACKGROUND: Regorafenib has shown substantial clinical activity in patients with advanced biliary tract cancers (BTCs). Preclinical data suggested that this drug modulates antitumour immunity and is synergistic with immune checkpoint inhibition. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a single-arm, multicentric phase II trial. Regorafenib was given 3 weeks/4, 160 mg quaque die (once a day) (QD); avelumab 10 mg/kg IV was given every two weeks, beginning at C1D15 until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end-point was the confirmed objective response rate under treatment, as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours 1.1. The secondary end-points included the following: 1-year non-progression rate; progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival; safety and biomarkers studies performed on sequential tumour samples obtained at baseline and at cycle 2 day 1. RESULTS: Thirty-four patients were enrolled in four centres. Twenty-nine patients were assessable for efficacy after central radiological review. The best response was partial response for four patients (13.8%), stable disease for 11 patients (37.9%) and progressive disease for 14 patients (48.3%). The median PFS and overall survival were 2.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI] [1.9-5.5]) and 11.9 months (95%CI [6.2-NA]) respectively. The most common grade 3 or 4 clinical adverse events related to treatment were hypertension (17.6%), fatigue (14.7%) and maculopapular rash (11.8%). High baseline levels of programmed cell death ligand 1 and of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygénase expression were associated with improved outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Regorafenib combined with avelumab has antitumour activity in a subset of heavily pretreated biliary tract cancer population. Further investigations are needed in patients selected based on tumour microenvironment features. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT03475953.

BACKGROUND: Low miR-31-3p expression was identified as predictive of anti-EGFR efficacy in RAS-wt mCRC. Primary tumor side was also proposed as a predictive factor of anti-EGFR benefit. This retrospective multicentric study evaluated the predictive role of miR-31-3p in right-sided RAS-wt mCRC patients treated with first-line CT+anti-EGFR or CT+bevacizumab (Beva). METHODS: Seventy-two right-sided RAS-wt mCRC patients treated in first-line with CT+anti-EGFR (n = 43) or Beva (n = 29) were included. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and response rate (RR) were analyzed and stratified according to tumor miR-31-3p expression level and targeted therapy (TT). RESULTS: BRAF V600E mutation was more frequent in high vs low miR-31-3p expressers (60.6% vs 15.4%, P < 0.001). PFS was significantly longer with CT+Beva than with CT+anti-EGFR (13 vs 7 months; P = 0.024). Among low miR-31-3p expressers, PFS, OS and RR were not significantly different between the two groups, while in high miR-31-3p expressers, only PFS was longer in the CT+Beva group (11 vs 6 months; P = 0.03). In patients treated with CT+anti-EGFR, low miR-31-3p expressers had a significantly longer OS (20 vs 13 months; P = 0.02) than high miR-31-3p expressers. ORR was not significantly different between the two groups of treatment, in both low and high miR-31-3p expressers. MiR-31-3p expression status was statistically correlated between primary tumors and corresponding metastases. CONCLUSION: In this study, miR-31-3p couldn't identify a subgroup of patients with right-sided RAS-wt mCRC who might benefit from anti-EGFR and suggest that Beva is the TT of choice in first-line treatment of these patients.
