Abstract Design and engineering of highly efficient emitting materials with assembly-induced luminescence, such as room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE), have stimulated extensive efforts. Here, we propose a new strategy to obtain size-controlled Eu3+-complex nanoparticles (Eu-NPs) with self-assembly induced luminescence (SAIL) characteristics without encapsulation or hybridization. Compared with previous RTP or AIE materials, the SAIL phenomena of increased luminescence intensity and lifetime in aqueous solution for the proposed Eu-NPs are due to the combined effect of self-assembly in confining the molecular motion and shielding the water quenching. As a proof of concept, we also show that this system can be further applied in bioimaging, temperature measurement and HClO sensing. The SAIL activity of the rare-earth (RE) system proposed here offers a further step forward on the roadmap for the development of RE light conversion systems and their integration in bioimaging and therapy applications.

TPS3645 Background: Targeted therapies based on somatic gene mutations or activated pathways have inhibited progression of some cancers. However, although various targets are identifiable in CRC, KRAS mutation is currently the only validated predictive biomarker for selection of a targeted therapy. FOCUS4 is a rolling phase II-III trial for testing in a staged way both the utility of molecular stratification and the efficacy of novel agents in subpopulations of mCRC patients. It is also a trial of a new strategy for testing stratified approaches to therapy in any biologically complex tumour type using a Multi-Arm, Multi-Stage design. Methods: The study population consists of subjects with newly diagnosed inoperable mCRC. Subjects receive first-line chemotherapy for 16 weeks. During this time the tumour is tested for BRAF/PIK3CA/KRAS/NRAS mutations and PTEN loss. Subjects with responding or stable disease on CT, who would normally be candidates for a treatment break, are then randomised to four coherent biomarker-based subgroups: FOCUS4-A: BRAF mutant, FOCUS4-B: PIK3CA mutant or complete loss of PTEN on IHC, FOCUS4-C: KRAS or NRAS mutant, FOCUS4-D: All wild type (no mutations of BRAF, PIK3CA, KRAS or NRAS). For each subgroup, a relevant novel agent or combination is to be tested in an adaptive double-blind placebo controlled randomised trial design with multiple interim analyses for early termination if there is no strong evidence of worthwhile activity. There will also be a 5thsubgroup FOCUS4-N testing maintenance capecitabine for unclassifiable tumours or for patients whose marker defined cohort is temporarily suspended. The primary endpoint is progression free survival. Promising results in any biomarker defined cohort will then be tested for response in cohorts without the biomarker. Within the overall trial, biomarker developments can be accommodated with changes in the distribution of the cohorts or testing of new targeted agents. Enrolment will commence in May 2013. Upto 3400 patients will be registered over a 4-5 year period depending on which cohorts pass their staged interim analyses and proceed to later stages, including an overall survival endpoint. Clinical trial information: 2012-005111-12.
