RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Around 15% of metastatic endometrial carcinoma (EC) are MMRd/MSI-H improving response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). So far, few data existed considering the chemotherapy (CT) sensitivity in MMRd/MSI-H EC, especially response to first-line platinum-based treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed a multicentric retrospective analysis reporting the response to first line platinum CT in MMRd/MSI-H EC patients. The primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS) with first line platinum-based CT. RESULTS: A total of 112 patients MMRd/MSI-H EC from 8 centers were identified. Median overall survival was 58.0 months (95% CI: 45.3-95.1). Among them, 78 patients received first line platinum CT in recurrent/metastatic setting. With a median follow up of 32.6 months (min: 0.03; max: 135.0), ORR and DCR (disease control rate) were 50% (95% CI: 38.5-61.5) and 68% (95% CI: 56.4-78.1), respectively. Median PFS and OS from first line platinum-based CT was 7.8 months (95% CI: 6.0-9.0) and 51.9 months (95% CI: 28.0-NE), respectively. Median PFS with ICI in second line (n = 48) was 10.7 months (95% CI: 3.4-NE) from ICI initiation. CONCLUSION: ORR in first line metastatic MMRd/MSI-H EC is consistent with efficacy in an all comer metastatic EC population.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the ninth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, with a 3.8/1 male to female ratio. Platinum-based chemotherapy is the first line standard of care for fit patients with advanced UC. However, despite a response rate (RR) for approximately half of patients receiving standard chemotherapy, durable responses are rare (median progression-free progression (PFS) around 8 months). Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have emerged as new therapeutic options. Among them, Avelumab, an anti-PD-L1 antibody, was assessed in maintenance treatment, demonstrating an overall survival improvement in the JAVELIN Bladder-100 phase III trial. These findings led to its approval as first line maintenance therapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic UC who have not progressed on prior platinum-containing chemotherapy. However, disease progression as best response was noticed for 37% of patients under Avelumab as maintenance treatment. UC has targetable genomic alterations, including DNA damage repair (DDR) alterations. DDR deficiency is known to major sensitivity to both platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 blockade and the combination of ICI and PARP inhibitors showed promising results. It therefore warrants to assess the interest of combining ICI plus PARP inhibitors as maintenance treatment in UC patients. METHODS: The TALASUR trial is a single-arm multicenter phase 2 study aiming to assess the antitumor activity of the combination of Avelumab with Talazoparib among patients with locally advanced/metastatic UC in maintenance therapy after platinum-based chemotherapy. The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of the combination, assessed through PFS. Secondary objectives are as follows: safety profile of the association, objective response, duration of tumoral response, disease control rate, time to subsequent therapy, quality of life. A blood and tumor collections will be also constituted. Patient will receive the combination therapy of daily oral Talazoparib (1 mg/day) and intra-venous Avelumab 800 mg on days 1 and 15, in a 28-day cycle. Fifty patients will be enrolled. DISCUSSION: Talazoparib with Avelumab combination may have additive activity when administrated jointly. We hypothesize that combination will increase the antitumor activity in UC first line maintenance setting with an acceptable safety profile.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Perioperative chemotherapy and surgery are a standard of care for patients with resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. However, the prognosis remains poor for this population. The FLOT (fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel) regimen is considered as the new standard chemotherapy regimen for perioperative strategy, despite associated with a 5-year overall survival rate (OS) amounting 45% following radical surgery. Immunotherapy with antibodies that inhibit PD-1/ PD-L1 interaction has recently emerged as a new treatment option with promising and encouraging early trial results for patients with advanced or metastatic gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma. Currently, no trials have investigated the impact of perioperative immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy for resectable gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma. METHODS: GASPAR trial is a multicenter open-label, nonrandomized, phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Spartalizumab in combination with the FLOT regimen as perioperative treatment for resectable gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma. The main endpoint is the proportion of patients with pathological complete regression (pCR) in the primary tumour after preoperative treatment. Systemic treatment will include a pre-operative neoadjuvant and a post-operative adjuvant treatment, during which FLOT regimen will be administered every two weeks for 4 cycles and Spartalizumab every four weeks for 2 cycles. For patients with confirmed tumor resectability on imaging assessment, surgery will be realized within 4-6 weeks after the last dose of preoperative chemotherapy. Post-operative systemic treatment will then be initiated within 4-10 weeks after surgery. Using a Simon's two-stage design, up to 67 patients will be enrolled, including 23 in the first stage. DISCUSSION: Currently, no trials have investigated the impact of immunotherapy in combination with FLOT chemotherapy as perioperative treatment for resectable gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma. Some studies have suggested a change in the tumor immune micro-environment following neoadjuvant chemotherapy in this setting, reinforcing the relevance to propose a phase II trial evaluating efficacy and safety of Spartalizumab in combination with perioperative chemotherapy, with the aim of improving treatment efficacy and survival outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There are limited treatment options for ovarian cancer patients with early relapse after platinum chemotherapy. In preclinical studies, we previously demonstrated the promising activity of ABT-737, a Bcl-2/Bcl-xL anti-apoptotic protein inhibitor, in chemo-resistant ovarian cancer cells and tumors, suggesting its potential activity in platinum-resistant patients. METHODS: We conducted a prospective multicenter single-arm phase II study to assess the efficacy of Navitoclax (orally available ABT-737 analogue) monotherapy in 46 heavily pretreated (2-12 lines, median = 4) patients with high-grade serous platinum-resistant ovarian tumors. Navitoclax was administered at the daily dose of 150 mg during a lead-in period (7-14 days) and then increased to 250 mg daily in the absence of dose-limiting thrombocytopenia (

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Anti-angiogenic rechallenge with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy is effective in recurrent ovarian cancer (rOC); however, data are limited on tyrosine kinase inhibitors after progression on maintenance bevacizumab. METHODS: In the randomized phase II TAPAZ trial, patients with rOC during the first year of bevacizumab maintenance therapy were assigned 2:1 to either weekly paclitaxel 65 mg/m2 plus pazopanib 600-800 mg daily or standard weekly paclitaxel 80 mg/m2. The primary endpoint was 4-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate. RESULTS: Overall, 116 patients were randomized and treated: 79 with combination therapy and 37 with single-agent paclitaxel. Median follow-up was 13.1 months. There was no difference between treatment arms in 4-month PFS rate (61% [95% CI, 51-73%] with the combination versus 68% [95% CI, 54-85%] with paclitaxel alone), median PFS (4.9 [95% CI, 4.1-6.1] versus 5.8 [95% CI, 4.8-7.4] months, respectively) or median overall survival (13.6 versus 12.9 months, respectively). The combination was associated with more grade 3/4 toxicities (87% versus 70%, respectively) and toxicity-related paclitaxel discontinuations (22% versus 11%). Pazopanib was discontinued for toxicity in 44% of patients, most commonly for gastrointestinal and vascular events. There were two treatment-related deaths, both in the combination arm (pulmonary embolism and gastrointestinal perforation). At month 4, patient-reported outcomes deteriorated from baseline in the combination arm, particularly for abdominal/gastrointestinal symptoms, which showed a clinically important difference versus paclitaxel alone. CONCLUSIONS: In rOC progressing during maintenance bevacizumab, adding pazopanib to paclitaxel did not improve efficacy, increased toxicity, and compromised chemotherapy delivery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer is the tenth diagnosed cancer in the world. Early-stage and locally recurrent disease may be cured with radical surgery or chemo-radiotherapy. However, if disease persists or recurs, options are limited and the prognosis is poor. In addition to chemotherapy, bevacizumab, an antiangiogenic agent, has recently demonstrated its efficacy in this setting. Cabozantinib is an oral small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that exhibits potent inhibitory activity against several receptor tyrosine kinases that are known to influence tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis. The main targets of Cabozantinib are VEGFR2, MET and AXL. It is currently approved for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and medullary thyroid carcinoma. Given its angiogenic properties associated with growth factor receptors inhibition, Cabozantinib represents a potential active treatment in cervical carcinoma. In this context, we propose to assess the efficacy and safety of cabozantinib monotherapy in advanced/metastatic cervical carcinoma (CC) after failure to platinum-based regimen treatment. METHODS: This study is a single-arm two-stage multicenter phase II aiming to simultaneously assess efficacy and safety of Cabozantinib among advanced/metastatic cervical carcinoma (CC) after failure to platinum-based regimen treatment. The main criterion will be based on both safety and clinical efficacy by conducting a Bryant-and-Day design. Safety endpoint is the proportion of patients with clinical gastro-intestinal (GI) perforation/fistula, GI-vaginal fistula and genito-urinary (GU) fistula events grade ≥ 2 (NCI CTCAE V.5.0) occurring up to one month after the end of treatment. Efficacy endpoint is the proportion of patients with disease control rate 3 months after Cabozantinib initiation. A patients' self-reported quality of life evaluation is also planned, as well as the investigation of nutritional outcomes. Cabozantinib will be administered at the daily dose of 60 mg given orally, without interruption until disease progression or discontinuation for any cause. DISCUSSION: Cabozantinib is a promising drug for patients with advanced/metastatic cervical cancer where few therapeutics options are available after failure to platinum-based regimen metastatic CC. It appears challenging to assess the interest of Cabozantinib in this indication, taking into account the potential toxicity of the drug. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT04205799 , registered "2019 12 19".

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Brain metastases often occur in cancer evolution. They are not only responsible for death but also for disorders affecting the quality of life and the cognitive functions. Management of brain metastases usually consists in multi-modality treatments, including neurosurgery, whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT), and more recently radiosurgery (SRS) or fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT), systemic treatment (chemotherapy or targeted therapy), combined or not with corticosteroids. Almost 20% of brain metastases can present recent (within 15 days) bleeding signs on neuro-imagery. In these conditions, WBRT is the usual treatment. Yet, patients may benefit from a more aggressive strategy with SRT or FSRT. However, these options were suspected to possibly major the risk of brain haemorrhage, although no scientifically proven. Radiation oncologists therefore usually remain reluctant to deliver SRS/FSRT for bleeding brain metastases. It is therefore challenging to establish a standard of care for the treatment of bleeding brain metastases. We propose a phase II trial to simultaneously assess safety and efficacy of FSRT to manage brain metastases with hemorrhagic signal. METHODS: The STEREO-HBM study is a multicenter two-step non-randomised phase II trial addressing patients with at least one bleeding brain metastasis out of a maximum of 3 brain metastases. Each brain metastasis will be treated with 30 Gy in 3 fractions for 1 week. The main endpoint is based on both safety and efficacy endpoints as proposed by Bryant and Day's design. Safety endpoint is defined as the rate of bleeding complications 4 months post-FSRT while efficacy endpoint is defined as the 6-month local control rate. Multi-modal MRI will be used to assess intra-tumoral hemorrhagic events before and after treatment. Patients' quality of life will also be assessed. DISCUSSION: Management of bleeding brain metastases is still debated and poorly explored in clinical trials. There is sparse and weak data on the signification of pretreatment intra-tumour haemorrhagic signs or on the risk of brain bleeding complications after FSRT. We expect this first prospective phase 2 trial in this particular setting will allow to clarify the place of FSRT to optimally manage bleeding brain metastases.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Despite multimodality treatments including neurosurgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, glioblastoma (GBM) prognosis remains poor. GBM is classically considered as a radioresistant tumor, because of its high local recurrence rate, inside the irradiation field. The development of new radiosensitizer is crucial to improve the patient outcomes. Pre-clinical data showed that Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) could be considered as a promising class of radiosensitizer. The aim of this study is to evaluate Olaparib, a PARPi, as radiosensitizing agent, combined with the Stupp protocol, namely temozolomide (TMZ) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in first line treatment of partially or non-resected GBM. METHODS: The OLA-TMZ-RTE-01 study is a multicenter non-randomized phase I/IIa trial including unresectable or partially resectable GBM patients, from 18 to 70 years old. A two-step dose-escalation phase I design will first determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of olaparib, delivered concomitantly with TMZ plus conventional irradiation for 6 weeks and as single agent for 4 weeks (radiotherapy period), and second, the RP2D of olaparib combined with adjuvant TMZ (maintenance period). Phase IIa will assess the 18-month overall survival (OS) of this combination. In both phase I and IIa separately considered, the progression-free survival, the objective response rate, the neurocognitive functions of patients, emotional disorders among caregivers, the survival without toxicity, degradation nor progression, the complications onset and the morphologic and functional MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) parameters will be also assessed as secondary objectives. Ancillary objectives will explore alteration of the DNA repair pathways on biopsy tumor, proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy parameters to differentiate tumor relapse and radionecrosis, and an expanded cognition evaluation. Up to 79 patients will be enrolled: 30 patients in the phase I and 49 patients in the phase IIa. DISCUSSION: Combining PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in GBM may improve survival outcomes, while sparing healthy tissue and preserving neurocognitive function, given the replication-dependent efficacy of olaparib, and the increased PARP expression in GBM as compared to non-neoplastic brain tissue. Ancillary studies will help to identify genetic biomarkers predictive of PARPi efficacy as radiosensitizer. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT03212742 , registered June, 7, 2017.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Axitinib is used after failure of first line treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). A known side effect is the increase of haemoglobin level (HbL) during treatment with a suspected correlation with better outcome. Our objective was to examine whether HbL increase during the first three months of axitinib treatment is associated with better prognosis. METHODS: Retrospective multicentre analysis including patients with mRCC treated with axitinib for at least three months from 2012 to 2014. Progression-free survival (PFS) was analysed by a Cox model according to gender, International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) prognostic score, high blood pressure (hBP), and maximum increase in HbL within the first three months of treatment. RESULTS: Ninety-eight patients were analysed (71% men; median age at treatment initiation: 62 years; IMDC: 24%, 50%, and 26% in the favourable, intermediate, and poor-risk group, respectively). Patients received axitinib for a median of 8 months. During the first three months, the median increase of HbL was +2.3 g/dL (-1.1; 7.2). Fifty-six (57%) patients developed hBP. In multivariate analysis, after adjustment for performance status (P < 0.0001) and gender (P = 0.0041), the combination of HbL increase ≥2.3 g/dL and any grade hBP was significantly associated with longer PFS (HR = 0.40, 95%CI [0.24; 0.68]). CONCLUSIONS: Early HbL increase during axitinib treatment combined with hBP is an independent predictive factor of PFS. These results require validation in a prospective setting.

RESUMO

Introduction: DNA damage repair genes are altered in 20-35% of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Poly-ADP (Adénosine Diphosphate)-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) showed significant activity for these selected tumors, especially with homologous recombination repair (HRR) deficiency. These alterations could also predict platinum sensitivity. Although carboplatin was inconclusive in unselected mCRPC, the literature suggests an anti-tumoral activity in mCRPC with HHR gene alterations. We aimed to assess the efficacy of carboplatin monotherapy in mCRPC patients with HRR deficiency. Methods: This prospective multicenter single-arm two-stage phase II addressed mCRPC men with HRR somatic and/or germline alterations, pretreated with ⩾2 taxane chemotherapy regimens and one androgen receptor pathway inhibitor. Prior PARPi treatment was allowed. Enrolled patients received intravenous carboplatin (AUC5) every 21 days for 6-9 cycles. The primary endpoint was the best response rate according to adapted PCWG3 guidelines: radiological response (RECIST 1.1 criteria) and/or biological response [⩾50% prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline]. Results: A total of 15 out of 16 enrolled patients started carboplatin treatment. Genomic alterations were identified for BRCA2 (n = 5), CDK12 (n = 3), ATM (n = 3) CHEK2 (n = 2), CHEK1 (n = 1), and BRCA1 (n = 1) genes. Objective response (partial biological response + stable radiological response) was achieved in one patient (6.7%), carrying a BRCA2 mutation and not pre-treated with PARPi; stable disease was observed for five patients (33.5%). Among seven patients (46.7%) with previous PARPi treatment, four patients (57.1%) had a stable disease. The median progression-free and overall survivals were 1.9 [95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.8-9.5] and 8.6 months (95% CI, 4.3-19.5), respectively. The most common severe (grade 3-4) treatment-related toxicities were thrombocytopenia (66.7%), anemia (66.7%), and nausea (60%). Overall, 8 (53.3%) patients experienced a severe hematological event. Conclusion: The study was prematurely stopped as pre-planned considering the limited activity of carboplatin monotherapy in heavily pre-treated, HHR-deficient mCRPC patients. Larger experience is needed in mCRPC with BRCA alterations. Trial registration: NCT03652493, EudraCT ID number 2017-004764-35.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Darolutamide and enzalutamide are second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors with activity in men with castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and different toxicity profiles. OBJECTIVE: ODENZA is a prospective, randomized, multicenter, cross-over, phase 2 trial designed to assess preference between darolutamide and enzalutamide in men with asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic metastatic CRPC (mCRPC). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either darolutamide 1200 mg/d for 12 wk followed by enzalutamide 160 mg/d for 12 wk or enzalutamide followed by darolutamide. In both arms, the second treatment was given in absence of cancer progression. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The primary endpoint was patient preference between the two drugs, as assessed by a preference questionnaire (p value calculated with the Prescott test). After week 24, patients entered an extension period during which they received their preferred treatment until progression or toxicity. The main secondary objectives included reasons for patient preference, response at week 12, tolerance of each drug, and measurement compared with baseline of cognitive outcomes assessed using tablet questionnaires. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Overall, 249 patients, with a median age of 72 yr, were randomized. Among the 200 patients who fulfilled the preplanned criteria for the evaluation of the primary endpoint of preference, 97 (49% [41; 56]), 80 (40% [33; 47]), and 23 (12% [7; 16]) chose darolutamide, chose enzalutamide, and had no preference, respectively (p = 0.92). Reduced fatigue, easier administration, and better quality of life were the main criteria that influenced patient choice. A moderate benefit in episodic memory from darolutamide was observed for the acquisition of new information (least square [LS] means difference = 2.2, effect size = 0.5) and for the recall of that information after a brief delay (LS means difference = 0.7, effect size = 0.3). Using the Brief Fatigue Inventory questionnaire, patients reported greater fatigue with enzalutamide (3.3 [3.0; 3.6]) than with darolutamide (2.7 [2.4; 3.0]). There was no difference in terms of depression, seizures, and falls. CONCLUSIONS: The study did not show a difference in preference between the two treatments. In men with mCRPC, darolutamide was associated with a clinically meaningful benefit in episodic memory and less fatigue compared with enzalutamide. PATIENT SUMMARY: Preference between darolutamide and enzalutamide was well balanced in men with castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Darolutamide was associated with a significant benefit in verbal learning and less fatigue compared with enzalutamide.

RESUMO

Introduction: We sought to develop a novel method for a fully automated, robust quantification of protein biomarker expression within the epithelial component of high-grade serous ovarian tumors (HGSOC). Rather than defining thresholds for a given biomarker, the objective of this study in a small cohort of patients was to develop a method applicable to the many clinical situations in which immunomarkers need to be quantified. We aimed to quantify biomarker expression by correlating it with the heterogeneity of staining, using a non-subjective choice of scoring thresholds based on classical mathematical approaches. This could lead to a universal method for quantifying other immunohistochemical markers to guide pathologists in therapeutic decision-making. Methods: We studied a cohort of 25 cases of HGSOC for which three biomarkers predictive of the response observed ex vivo to the BH3 mimetic molecule ABT-737 had been previously validated by a pathologist. We calibrated our algorithms using Stereology analyses performed by two experts to detect immunohistochemical staining and epithelial/stromal compartments. Immunostaining quantification within Stereology grids of hexagons was then performed for each histological slice. To define thresholds from the staining distribution histograms and to classify staining within each hexagon as low, medium, or high, we used the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Results: Stereology analysis of this calibration process produced a good correlation between the experts for both epithelium and immunostaining detection. There was also a good correlation between the experts and image processing. Image processing clearly revealed the respective proportions of low, medium, and high areas in a single tumor and showed that this parameter of heterogeneity could be included in a composite score, thus decreasing the level of discrepancy. Therefore, agreement with the pathologist was increased by taking heterogeneity into account. Conclusion and discussion: This simple, robust, calibrated method using basic tools and known parameters can be used to quantify and characterize the expression of protein biomarkers within the different tumor compartments. It is based on known mathematical thresholds and takes the intratumoral heterogeneity of staining into account. Although some discrepancies need to be diminished, correlation with the pathologist's classification was satisfactory. The method is replicable and can be used to analyze other biological and medical issues. This non-subjective technique for assessing protein biomarker expression uses a fully automated choice of thresholds (GMM) and defined composite scores that take the intra-tumor heterogeneity of immunostaining into account. It could help to avoid the misclassification of patients and its subsequent negative impact on therapeutic care.

RESUMO

(1) Background: In literature, approximately 20% of mCRPC present somatic DNA damage repair (DDR) gene mutations, and their relationship with response to standard therapies in mCRPC is not well understood. The objective was to evaluate outcomes of mCRPC patients treated with standard therapies according to somatic DDR status. (2) Methods: Eighty-three patients were recruited at Caen Cancer Center (France). Progression-free survival (PFS) after first-line treatment was analyzed according to somatic DDR mutation as primary endpoint. PFS according to first exposure to taxane chemotherapy and PFS2 (time to second event of disease progression) depending on therapeutic sequences were also analyzed. (3) Results: Median first-line PFS was 9.7 months in 33 mutated patients and 8.4 months in 50 non-mutated patients (p = 0.9). PFS of first exposure to taxanes was 8.1 months in mutated patients and 5.7 months in non-mutated patients (p = 0.32) and significantly longer among patients with ATM/BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations compared to the others (10.6 months vs. 5.5 months, p = 0.04). PFS2 was 16.5 months in mutated patients, whatever the sequence, and 11.7 months in non-mutated patients (p = 0.07). The mutated patients treated with chemotherapy followed by NHT had a long median PFS2 (49.8 months). (4) Conclusions: mCRPC patients with BRCA1/2 and ATM benefit from standard therapies, with a long response to taxanes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Older patients with ovarian cancer represent a heterogeneous population. The French National Group of Investigators for the Study of Ovarian and Breast Cancer developed the geriatric vulnerability score (GVS) to identify geriatric parameters predictive of poor outcomes. A prospective validation of the GVS was needed. METHODS: The EWOC-1 study (NCT02001272) was an international, open-label, phase 2, three-arm trial designed according to a two-step process. Patients aged 70 years or older with newly diagnosed stage III or IV ovarian cancer were identified and the GVS determined. Those with a GVS of 3 or greater were randomly assigned to the EWOC-1 trial, stratified by country and surgical outcome, to receive three different carboplatin with or without paclitaxel regimens; those not included in the EWOC-1 trial were followed up in the EWOC-1 registry. External validation of the GVS was a secondary endpoint of the trial. Three validation cohorts were identified: the total population (validation cohort 1 [V1], n=447), the registry-only population (validation cohort 2 [V2], n=327), and the carboplatin-paclitaxel-treated population (validation cohort 3 [V3], n=320). FINDINGS: From Dec 11, 2013, to Nov 16, 2018, 447 patients were included in 48 academic centres in six countries; 120 in the EWOC-1 trial and 327 in the EWOC-1 registry. Median follow-up was 19·7 (95% CI 8·5-29·7) months for the total cohort; missing values were low (<2%). According to the maximum likelihood analysis, the hazard ratio (HR) of death in V1 was 1·8 (95% CI 1·1-3·1, p=0·029) for those with a GVS of 1; 2·4 (1·4-4·0, p=0·0009) with a GVS of 2; 4·1 (2·5-7·0, p<0·0001) for a GVS of 3; 5·5 (3·3-9·3, p<0·0001) for a GVS of 4; and 9·1 (4·7-17·5, p<0·0001) for a GVS of 5 compared with a score of 0. Whatever the validation cohort, GVS of 3 or more significantly segregated two groups with different overall survival: V1 (median 13·2 [95% CI: 10·8-18·7] vs 40·8 [32·0-45·6] months; HR 2·8 [95% CI 2·2-3·7]; p<0·0001); V2 (11·9 [95% CI 8·8-18·1] vs 40·8 [32·0-45·6] months, HR 3·5 [2·5-4·9]; p<0·0001); and V3 (18·1 [95% CI 15·8-31·8] vs 43·0 [40·6-49·7] months, HR 2·6 [1·9 to 3·7]; p<0·0001). INTERPRETATION: The GVS has high prognostic performance for overall survival in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, independently of geographic and historic effect (V1), as well as treatment patterns (V3), validated in an international population. Even though the GVS is time consuming it will allow the stratification of populations for clinical research and might permit the orientation of the geriatric intervention to specific domains.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Cabazitaxel multiple rechallenges may be a treatment option in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who had a good initial response to cabazitaxel and who are still fit to receive it. Our objective was to assess the efficacy and toxicity of multiple rechallenges. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively identified 22 mCRPC patients previously treated with docetaxel and/or androgen receptor-targeted agents who received multiple cabazitaxel rechallenges in 9 French centers. Cabazitaxel was initiated at a dose of 25 mg/m2 q3week. A reduced dose (20 mg/m2 q3w) or an alternative schedule (mainly 16 mg/m2 q2w) was increasingly used for subsequent rechallenges. Progression-free survival, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response, best clinical response, and grade ≥3 toxicities were collected. Overall survival was calculated from various time points. RESULTS: Twenty-two patients with an initial response to cabazitaxel were rechallenged at least twice. The median number of cabazitaxel cycles was 7 at first cabazitaxel treatment, 6 at first rechallenge, and 5 at subsequent rechallenges. Median progression-free survival at first rechallenge was 9.6 months and 5.6 months at second rechallenge. Median overall survival was 50.9 months from the first cabazitaxel dose, 114.9 months from first life-extending therapy initiation in mCRPC, and 105 months from mCRPC diagnosis. There was no cumulative grade ≥3 neuropathy or nail disorder and one case of febrile neutropenia. CONCLUSION: Cabazitaxel multiple rechallenges may be a treatment option without cumulative toxicity in heavily pretreated patients having a good response to first cabazitaxel use and still fit to receive it. NOVELTY & IMPACT STATEMENTS: Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer can be treated with Cabazitaxel after docetaxel and androgen receptor-targeted agent. This chemotherapy can be used multiple times with efficacy and manageable toxicity.

RESUMO

IMPORTANCE: Single-agent carboplatin is often proposed instead of a conventional carboplatin-paclitaxel doublet in vulnerable older patients with ovarian cancer. Such an approach could have a detrimental effect on outcomes for these patients. OBJECTIVE: To compare the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of single-agent carboplatin every 3 weeks, weekly carboplatin-paclitaxel, or conventional every-3-weeks carboplatin-paclitaxel in vulnerable older patients with ovarian cancer. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This international, open-label, 3-arm randomized clinical trial screened 447 women 70 years and older with newly diagnosed stage III/IV ovarian cancer by determining their Geriatric Vulnerability Score; 120 patients with a Geriatric Vulnerability Score of 3 or higher were stratified by country and surgical outcome. Enrollment took place at 48 academic centers in France, Italy, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Canada from December 11, 2013, to April 26, 2017. Final analysis database lock April 2019. Data analysis was performed from February 1 to December 31, 2019. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomized to receive 6 cycles of (1) carboplatin, area under the curve (AUC) 5 mg/mL·min, plus paclitaxel, 175 mg/m2, every 3 weeks; (2) single-agent carboplatin, AUC 5 mg/mL·min or AUC 6 mg/mL·min, every 3 weeks; or (3) weekly carboplatin, AUC 2 mg/mL·min, plus paclitaxel, 60 mg/m2, on days 1, 8, and 15 every 4 weeks. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary outcome was treatment feasibility, defined as the ability to complete 6 chemotherapy cycles without disease progression, premature toxic effects-related treatment discontinuation, or death. RESULTS: A total of 120 women were randomized. The mean and median age was 80 (interquartile range, 76-83; range, 70-94) years; 43 (36%) had a Geriatric Vulnerability Score of 4 and 13 (11%) had a Geriatric Vulnerability Score of 5; 40 (33%) had stage IV disease. During its third meeting, the independent data monitoring committee's recommendation led to the termination of the trial because single-agent carboplatin was associated with significantly worse survival. Six cycles were completed in 26 of 40 (65%), 19 of 40 (48%), and 24 of 40 (60%) patients in the every-3-weeks combination, single-agent carboplatin, and weekly combination groups, respectively. Treatment-related adverse events were less common with the standard every-3-weeks combination (17 of 40 [43%]) than single-agent carboplatin or weekly combination therapy (both 23 of 40 [58%]). Treatment-related deaths occurred in 4 patients (2 of 40 [5%] in each combination group). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This randomized clinical trial shows that compared with every-3-weeks or weekly carboplatin-paclitaxel regimens, single-agent carboplatin was less active with significantly worse survival outcomes in vulnerable older patients with ovarian cancer.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Treatment in locally advanced ovarian cancer is optimal surgery followed by chemotherapy. Patients with significant tumor spread, OMS>2, age>75 years old are poor candidates for aggressive primary surgery. Interval surgery, after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, aims to achieve more complete surgery, increase survival, and reduce surgical morbidity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival. Secondary outcomes were overall survival and postoperative morbidity and mortality. METHOD: This is a retrospective study conducted in 2 French referral centers between January 2000 and December 2015. Patients who could not benefit from a complete initial surgery were operated after 3 cures of chemotherapy at the François Baclesse center and after least 5 cures at the center René Gauducheau. RESULTS: The population analyzed included 104 patients, 43 (41.0%) patients treated at the René Gauducheau center (group 1) and 61 (59.0%) patients treated at the François Baclesse center (group 2). Progression-free and overall survival were similar between the 2 groups, they were, respectively, 15.9 months and 34 months in group 1 vs. 15.4 months and 37.6 months in group 2 (P=0.72; P=0.65). Mean hospital stay and postoperative morbidity were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION: For weak patients, to limit invasive surgery, doing more than 5 courses of chemotherapy may be a reasonable option.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Glandular metastases (GMs) (pancreas, breast, parotid, thyroid, or contralateral adrenal) are rare in metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (mccRCC). In a multicenter study we have assessed outcome from mccRCC with or without GMs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with mccRCC and GM or non-GM (NGM) at first presentation of mccRCC, treated at 9 European centers (5 French, 3 UK, and 1 Belgian centers) between January 2004 and October 2013, were retrospectively analyzed. Association between overall survival (OS) and site of metastases was assessed using the log-rank test for univariate analysis and the chi-square test for multivariable Cox regression. RESULTS: In all, 138 patients with GM mccRCC and 420 with NGM mccRCC were included; 37.2% patients with GM had Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC)-favorable risk vs. 18% NGM patients; 10.7% patients with GM had MSKCC-poor risk vs. 27% NGM patients (P<0.0001). Median interval from metastases to treatment was 4.2 months (range: 0-221.3mo). Median OS was 61.5 months (51.4-81.6mo) for GM and 37.4 months (31.3-42mo) for NGM (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.7; 95% CI = 1.3-2.2, P<0.001). In univariate OS analysis, age, delay between initial diagnosis and metastases, MSKCC, bone/lung metastases, and GM or NGM group were significant parameters (P<0.001). In multivariate analysis, adjusted according to MSKCC risk group, NGM vs. GM was a strong prognostic factor (HR = 1.4; 95% CI = 1.0-1.8, P=0.026); bone or liver metastases were also significant (HR = 1.3; 95% CI = 1.1-1.7, P<0.02; HR = 1.4; 95% CI = 1.1-1.7, P<0.02, respectively). Even in patients without bone or liver metastases, GM status was significant (HR = 1.8; 95% CI = 1.2-2.7, P<0.004). CONCLUSIONS: This large retrospective study shows that the presence of at least 1 GM site in development of mccRCC was associated with a significantly longer OS. The presence of GMs vs. NGM disease was an independent prognostic factor for survival irrespective of the presence or absence of bone or liver metastases. This finding could affect daily practice in which patients with mccRCC and GMs should receive more aggressive treatment with a potential for long-term survival. The causal mechanisms for this improved prognosis in GM mccRCC would be evaluated in translational studies.

RESUMO

The evaluation of quality of life has become essential in gynecological oncology. Recent guidelines have been published to improve the collection, analysis and publication of the data quality of life that will make them more reliable, reproducible and integrate them into the final treatment decision. This year at ASCO, in breast cancer, the benefit of sentinel lymph node dissection compared to the quality of life has been demonstrated. New data on cognitive function in patients treated for breast cancer show the importance of the evaluation of these disorders especially among elderly patients who are at-risk populations. Medical strategies including targeted therapies can improve survival without impairing the quality of life, also with improved gastrointestinal symptoms in case of combination chemotherapy with bevacizumab in patients with ovarian cancer in a situation early recurrence. Similarly, the addition of a pathway inhibitor M- Tor (everolimus) with hormonal therapy does not induce degradation of the quality of life in women with metastatic breast cancer.
