Methods: POLAF is a multicenter, non comparative, phase II study conducted in patients with mCRC previously treated with oxaliplatin (NCT02970916) Plasma biomarkers were assayed using ELISA Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF A) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) biomarkers were statistically analyzed (Roc Curve) with respect to the primary endpoint (PE): progression free survival (PFS) (Kaplan Meier). Results: Between November 2016 and December 2017, 101 patients for the PE were enrolled: male 59.4%, median age of 63.8 years and ECOG 0 in 46.5% of them The median of treatment duration was 5.7 months. Later antitumor therapies were received by 54.5% pts With a median follow up of 11.7 months, response rates were: PR 15.8%, SD 53.5% and PD 25.7%. The median OS, PFS, TTP and to TTF were 12.6, 7.4, 8.3 and 6.1 months, respectively Of note, both OS and PFS were significantly longer in pts with lower plasma VEGF A levels (<1.941 ng/ml) in comparison to those with higher levels (p < 0.001) No significant differences were detected in plasma ACE levels (Table) A total of 74.3% pts presented at least 1 grade 3 toxicity, being the most common asthenia (24.8%) hypertension (22.8%) and neutropenia (23.9%) and three pts presented grade 5 toxicity: one hepatic encephalopathy, one gastrointestinal toxicity and one unknown reason that treatment relationship could not be ruled out.

The accuracy of the clinical PCI score in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal cancer
N.L. De Boer, A. Brandt-Kerkhof, E. Madsen, K. Verhoef, J. Burger Department of Surgical Oncology, Erasmus MC Cancer Institute, Rotterdam, Netherlands Background: The Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) and completeness of cytoreduction are important prognostic factors in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer, undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC). The PCI is determined during laparotomy by an experienced surgeon before the decision is made to ‘do’ or ‘do not’ proceed with CRSHIPEC. The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of the clinical PCI score (cPCI), by comparing the cPCI with the pathological PCI (pPCI) score.

q2w vs q1w schedule was tested with a hazard ratio (HR) margin of 1.25 using a Cox proportional hazards regression model. Differences in baseline characteristics were accounted for with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) based on a propensity score. Results: 763 (91% from NIS) and 554 (51% from NIS) patients were included in the q1w and q2w groups, respectively. Median (Q1-Q3) age in years was 66 (57-73) for q1w and 60 (53-69) for q2w. Liver-limited disease concerned 42.6% of patients for q1w and 37.9% for q2w. A baseline ECOG Performance Status of 0-1 was reported in 81.8% of q1w and 90.6% of q2w patients. FOLFIRI was most frequently used in combination with q1w (49.4%) and FOLFOX with q2w (59.2%). IPTW-adjusted HRs for OS were in favor of q2w: 0.83 (95% CI, 0.71-0.96) and 0.73 (95% CI, 0.61-0.88) when restricted to NIS. Other efficacy and safety results will be presented in the future. Conclusions: This pooled analysis confirmed the noninferiority of CET q2w vs q1w. This result suggests an improved OS with the q2w schedule.

Active agents including anti-VEGF and anti-EGFR antibodies have contributed to this progress. Late-line treatment with regorafenib (REGO) or trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) has also been demonstrated to be effective and these drugs are widely used as standard CT. However, no study has reported to what extent the availability of these two drugs changes the total OS of patients that is measured from the initiation of first-line CT. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled consecutive mCRC pts at 3 institutions who received first-line CT between Jan 2005 and Sep 2016. We divided the pts into 3 groups according to the availability of drugs at the initiation of first-line CT; pts who started CT between Jan 2005 and Dec 2006 (cohort A: only cytotoxic drugs were available), between Jan 2007 and Dec 2011 (cohort B: anti-VEGF and anti-EGFR antibody were available), or between Jan 2012 and Sep 2016 (cohort C: REGO and FTD/TPI were available). Treatment outcomes were compared among the cohort A, B, and C. Results: A total of 1,426 pts were analyzed. Pts characteristics of the cohort A (165 pts), B (626 pts), and C (635 pts) were as follows: median age, 62/64/65 years; ECOG PS 2, 8.5%/8.8%/8.2%; right-sided primary, 26.1%/29.4%/29.9%; tumor grade Grade 3, 10.1%/13.1%/11.9%; KRAS mutation, 28.6%/38.4%/41.1%; and number of metastatic sites 2, 63.6%/61.3%/58.1%. In the cohort A, B, and C, 1.2%, 10.7%, and 31.2% of the pts received at least one of late-line treatment with REGO or FTD/TPI. Median OS of the cohort A, B, and C was 18.6 month (M), 25.3 M, and 27.2 M. Hazard ratio (HR) of death was 0.82 (95% confidential interval [CI], 0.68-0.98; p ¼ 0.0309) for the cohort B vs A, and 0.71 (95% CI, 0.59-0.86; p ¼ 0.0004) for the cohort C vs A, and 0.87 (95% CI 0.77-0.99; p ¼ 0.0356) for the cohort C vs B. Conclusions: This real-world data analysis indicates that late-line treatment with REGO or FTD/TPI could contribute to the prolongation of OS from the initiation of first-line CT for mCRC pts.

A subset analysis of pts (>65years) included in the VELOUR trial, suggests a consistent benefit in OS in PFS, but increased grade 3-4 toxicity. Our hypothesis was that selected pts >70y with good PS could benefit from FA, provided they underwent a careful monitoring of toxicity. Methods: Retrospective, multicenter, observational study of mCRC pts >70 years (y) treated with FA as part of routine clinical practice at 8 hospitals from the Galician Research Group on Digestive Tumours (GITuD). Results: From 338 patients treated with FA between June 2013 to November 2018, 75 pts were recorded. Median age was 72.7 y (range 70-84 y), and 33.4% were >75y. 65.3% were male, 87.5% ECOG PS0-1, 42.5 % left-sided location, 76.0 % low grade, 59.5% RASmt and 77.3 % primary tumor resection. Prior therapy included bevacizumab (56%) and anti-EGFR agents (24%), only adjuvant treatment (5.3%). Median of FA cycles was 10 (range 1-35 cycles). Overall Response Rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 30.7% and 65.4%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 27.1 months (m), median PFS was 6.6 m (95% CI, 5.3-7.9 m) and median OS was 15.1 m (95% CI, 12.5-17.8 m). The most common grade 3-4 toxicities overall were asthenia (21.3%), neutropenia (14.7%) and diarrhoea (14.7%). Af-related toxicities were hypertension (5.3%), dysphonia (5.3%) and proteinuria (2.7%). Two patients experienced grade 5 toxicity.This toxicity was managed with dose reduction of Af in 34.7% of cases, dose reduction of FOLFIRI on 56.0% and discontinuation of Af in 18.6%. Conclusions: Older patients with mCRC are underrepresented in clinical trials. The VELOUR study included only 6.4% pts >75y of age and only 14% included in the substudy of patients >65y were >75y. Patients >65y treated with FA in the VELOUR trial experienced a high rate of G3-4 adverse events (89.3%). Our series confirms that with careful pt selection and dose adjustment based on toxicity, patients >70y can be treated with FA with a 52.0% of grade 3-4 toxicity, results that are comparable to those of younger patients.

Although the most common toxicities have been extensively studied, FP-induced cardiotoxicity (FIC), an infrequent but potentially life-threatening toxicity, still lacks of a comprehensive characterization. The correlation between FIC and known cardiovascular (CV) risk factors remains controversial and based on retrospective observations.

Methods: All consecutive patients who underwent CRS-HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal origin between February 2015 and June 2018 where identified. Relevant patient- and tumor related characteristics were collected. Results: In total 119 patients were included in this study; 60 males (50.4%). Median age was 64 years [IQR 55-71]. The pPCI was lower than the cPCI score in 80 patients (67.2%), the score was equal in 38 patients (31.9%), and in 1 patient (0.8%) the pPCI was higher than the cPCI. The median total cPCI 11 (IQR 6-16) was significantly higher than the median pPCI, (pPCI¼8, IQR 3-13, p < 0.001). In 21 patients (17.6%) the cPCI was overestimated 5 points. When patients were divided in different PCI categories, 0-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16 respectively, 39 patients (32.8%) moved to a lower pPCI category with corresponding better median survival rates. Conclusions: Clinical determination of the PCI often results in overestimation of the score. Far-reaching consequences are tied to the macroscopic evaluation of the cPCI by the surgeon, but this evaluation is not very reliable. Further research is warranted to determine whether the pPCI is a better scoring method/more precise prognostic factor for oncological outcomes after CRS-HIPEC.
