PURPOSE To assess the efficacy of irinotecan (CPT-11) in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer in both chemotherapy-naive and pretreated patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two hundred thirteen patients (aged 18 to 75 years) with metastatic colorectal cancer, World Health Organization (WHO) performance status < or = 2, and life expectancy > or = 3 months were treated with CPT-11 350 mg/m2 every 3 weeks. All 178 patients eligible for efficacy analysis had not received more than one prior fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy regimen (adjuvant or palliative) and had adequate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function. RESULTS Primary tumor sites were the colon (71%) and rectum (28%). Sixty-six percent of the patients had > or = two metastatic sites. Ninety-eight percent of the patients had undergone previous surgery, and 77.5% had received prior chemotherapy. Thirty-two of 178 eligible patients achieved on objective response (four complete responses [CRs] and 28 partial responses [PRs]; response rate, 18%; 95% confidence interval, 12.6% to 24.4%), 65 were stable, and 59 progressed. The response rate was 17.7% in the pretreated group and 18.8% in the chemotherapy-naive group. Within the former subgroup, response rates of 16.1% were reported in patients who were progressive on prior 5-FU chemotherapy and 19.1% in patients who were progressive off such treatment. The median duration of objective response (9.1 months) and median time to achievement of a response (9.3 weeks) did not differ between chemotherapy-naive and pretreated patients. The most frequent adverse events were neutropenia, which developed in 80% of the patients, delayed diarrhea (87%), alopecia (88%), fatigue (81%), and nausea/vomiting (77%). All these adverse events were manageable. Severe (WHO grade 3 or 4) neutropenia was only observed in 18% of the cycles, leukopenia in 11%, delayed diarrhea in 11%, and nausea and vomiting in 3%. Development of simultaneous grade 3 or 4 neutropenia and delayed diarrhea during 4% of the cycles was the safety issue of greatest concern. CONCLUSION CPT-11 has definite activity in the treatment of advanced metastatic colorectal cancer both in chemotherapy-naive and in pretreated patients who experienced disease progression on 5-FU, which suggests a lack of cross-resistance between CPT-11 and 5-FU. Diarrhea and neutropenia, the major toxicities of CPT-11, contribute to the risk to develop febrile neutropenic sepsis.

560 Background: The safety and efficacy of first-line XELIRI (capecitabine in combination with irinotecan) and XELIRI plus bevacizumab (BEV) have been evaluated in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). To date, however, no randomized studies comparing these regimens have been performed. This retrospective analysis compared efficacy and safety data for the two regimens from separate phase II studies performed at a single institution. Methods: Patients with histologically documented metastatic or recurrent CRC and no prior treatment for advanced disease received irinotecan 175 mg/m2 on day 1 and oral capecitabine 1,000 mg/m2 twice daily on days 2-8 every 2 weeks (XELIRI study). For patients age ≥65 years, the starting doses of irinotecan and capecitabine were reduced to 140 mg/m2 and 750 mg/m2, respectively. In the second study, patients received the same regimen plus BEV 5 mg/kg on day 1 (XELIRI + BEV study). Results: A total of 53 and 46 patients were entered into the XELIRI and XELIRI + BEV studies, respectively. Patient characteristics were generally similar in both groups. Efficacy results for the ITT populations are summarized in the Table. Patients treated with XELIRI + BEV had a significantly higher ORR and longer median TTP vs. XELIRI alone and a numerically longer median OS was observed (p=NS). The overall incidence of adverse events (all grades or grade 3/4) was similar in the two groups, although alopecia, mucositis, hand–foot syndrome, and haemorrhage were more common with XELIRI + BEV vs. XELIRI alone (all p<0.05). Conclusions: In this retrospective comparison of two studies, the addition of BEV to XELIRI appeared to improve outcome relative to XELIRI alone in the first-line treatment of patients with mCRC. The overall incidence of adverse events was similar in the two groups. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e14036 Background: Metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancers generally become unresectable and will not respond to radio- or chemo-therapy. Studies showed that p53 has a synergic effect with radio- or chemotherapy. This study is to determine the efficacy and safety of recombinant adenoviral human p53 gene (rAd-p53) combined with standard FOLFOX4 regimen in treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. Methods: From July 2008 to Dec. 2011, 56 patients with an advanced colorectal cancer or local recurrent disease were treated with rAd-p53 and standard FOLFOX4 regimen. For local tumor, 1-4×1012 viral particles (VP) of rAd-p53 diluted into 5 ml of saline solution was injected into tumor at multiple directions, once a week for 6 weeks. If tumor spreading into abdominal cavity, 4×1012 VPs diluted in 500 ml of saline solution were injected inraperitoneally, twice in 2 weeks. If having lung or liver metastasis, 2×1012 VPs diluted into 100 ml of saline solution were given intravenously twice in 2 weeks. Three days after the first gene therapy, the standard FOLFOX4 regimen was given for six cycles. Results: The follow-up time was 3~38 months with a median of 19.5 months. Among these patients, 8 (14.3%) patients were assessed as complete response, 31 (55.4%) as partial response and 11 (19.6%) as stable disease. After the combined treatment, a radical resection was successfully performed in 18 cases with local recurrent disease. All these patients were still alive at the last follow-up. Common adverse events were 38.4~40.5 oC self-limited fever, occurring in 86% patients. No serious adverse events were observed. Conclusions: rAd-p53 combined with FOLFOX4 is a safe and effective treatment for advanced colorectal cancer or local recurrent disease.

684 Background: Bevacizumab (BV) is widely used in first-line chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer in Japan, but the use of beyond bevacizumab first progression (BBP) has been controversial yet. Methods: Of patients treated with first-line BV in our retrospective cohort study (HGCSG0801), patients treated with BBP (n=22) and those without BBP ( n=19) in second-line setting were analyzed. The National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 was used to assess adverse events. The Response Evaluation in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.0 was used to assess tumor response. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to determine PFS and OS. Log-rank test was used to compare each group in terms of PFS and OS. All statistical tests were performed using SPSS. Results: PS (0/1/2) before second line chemotherapy was 18/3/1 in BBP and 10/8/1 in NBBP, respectively. In the safety analysis, five patients in BBP showed a worsening/newer hypertension, which wasn’t a clinical problem. In the efficacy analysis, the response rate was 22.8% in BBP and 0% in NBBP. The median PFS was better in BBP (6.7 months in BBP and 2.7 months in NBBP), but there was no significant difference in median OS from first BV administration between two groups (27.3 months in BBP and 22.2 months in NBBP). Conclusions: We analyzed BBP in daily practice in Japan. Adverse events were well tolerated, but survival advantage of BBP was not suggested. About the efficacy of BBP, we are waiting the results of ongoing Phase III trials.
