    Abstract: Peritoneal cancer (PC) is a dire finding, yet in selected patients, long-term survival is possible. Complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS) together with combination immunochemotherapy is essential to achieve cure. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) are increasingly added to the multimodal treatment. The Swiss Peritoneal Cancer Group (SPCG) is an interdisciplinary group of expert clinicians. It has developed comprehensive treatment algorithms for patients with PC from pseudomyxoma peritonei, peritoneal mesothelioma, gastric, and colorectal origin. They include multimodal neoadjuvant treatment, surgical resection, and palliative care. The indication for and results of CRS HIPEC and PIPAC are discussed in light of the current literature. Institutional volume and clinical expertise required to achieve best outcomes are underlined, while inclusion of patients considered for CRS HIPEC and PIPAC in a clinical registry is strongly advised. The present recommendations are in line with current international guidelines and provide the first comprehensive treatment proposal for patients with PC including intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The SPCG comprehensive treatment algorithms provide evidence-based guidance for the multimodal care of patients with PC of gastrointestinal origin that were endorsed by all Swiss clinicians routinely involved in the multimodal care of these challenging patients.

    Abstract: Background: Malnutrition, loss of weight and of skeletal muscle mass are frequent in pancreatic cancer patients, a majority of which will undergo chemotherapy over the course of their disease. Available data suggest a negative prognostic role of these changes in body composition on disease outcomes; however, it is unclear whether tolerance to chemotherapeutic treatment is similarly and/or negatively affected. We aimed to explore this association by retrospectively assessing changes in body composition and chemotherapy-related toxicity in a cohort of advanced pancreatic cancer patients. Methods: Body composition was evaluated through clinical parameters and through radiological assessment of muscle mass, skeletal muscle area, skeletal muscle index and skeletal muscle density; and an assessment of fat distribution by subcutaneous adipose tissue and visceral adipose tissue. We performed descriptive statistics, pre/post chemotherapy comparisons and uni- and multivariate analyses to assess the relation between changes in body composition and toxicity. Results: Toxicity risk increased with an increase of skeletal muscle index (OR: 1.03) and body mass index (OR: 1.07), whereas it decreased with an increase in skeletal muscle density (OR: 0.96). Multivariate analyses confirmed a reduction in the risk of toxicity only with an increase in skeletal muscle density (OR: 0.96). Conclusions: This study suggests that the retrospective analysis of changes in body composition is unlikely to be useful to predict toxicity to gemcitabine—nab-paclitaxel.

    Abstract: 34 Background: BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is associated with a poor prognosis and limited clinical data. Based on results from the BEACON CRC trial, targeted treatment with encorafenib plus cetuximab (E+C) is available as a standard of care for these patients (pts) after prior systemic therapy. Since data from controlled clinical trials are based on a selected patient population, the non-interventional study (NIS) BERING CRC observes a broader patient population in clinical practice. Methods: BERING CRC is the first NIS investigating the use of E+C in clinical practice of BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC treatment after prior systemic therapy in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. For the present analysis, disease characteristics and treatment data of the initial 81 pts were documented in 44 sites across Germany and Austria between 09/2020 and 04/2022. BERING-CRC is ongoing and aims to enroll up to 300 pts from 126 German, Austrian, and Swiss sites. The study observes pts treated according to the approved respective Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). The primary endpoint is the 1-year overall survival rate. Secondary endpoints include efficacy, QoL, and tolerability of E+C. Results: 81 pts were included in this baseline analysis. Median age was 67 years (range 34-88) and 48% were female. 48 pts (59%) were documented with right-sided tumors and for 62% stage IV disease was noted at initial diagnosis. In the metastatic setting, main sites of metastasis were liver, peritoneum, and lung (52%, 32%, and 22% of pts, respectively), with 16% of pts having ≥ 3 sites documented. For 30% of pts, an ECOG performance status (PS) of 0 was documented at baseline assessment (57% ECOG PS 1 or 2). Adjuvant treatment was reported for 22 pts while relapse ≤ 6 months was documented for 10 of them. Consistent with BEACON CRC, adjuvant systemic therapy with relapse within ≤6 months was counted as metastatic 1st line treatment. 91% of pts with adjuvant treatment received chemotherapy alone in this setting. 4 pts (5%) were documented with E+C treatment directly following adjuvant therapy and 55% of all pts with documented first-line treatment (69 pts) received chemotherapy alone (CT), for 35% chemotherapy was combined with targeted therapy (CT+TT), 3% received immunotherapy, and 1% received TT alone. In second-line, 71% of pts with documented treatment received E+C (7% CT, 16% CT+TT). An initial bi-weekly cetuximab dosing was reported for 10% of pts treated with E+C. Conclusions: While the high number of pts with right-sided tumors was in line with previous findings on BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC pts, synchronous metastasis was reported considerably more often in this real-world cohort. As complementation to previous controlled clinical trial data, pts enrolled in BERING-CRC were notably older and presented with higher ECOG PS compared to the pivotal study. Clinical trial information: NCT04673955 .

    Abstract: e15584 Background: BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is characterized by a poor prognosis and limited clinical data. Based on results from the phase 3 BEACON CRC trial, targeted treatment with encorafenib plus cetuximab (E+C) represents a newly approved standard of care for these patients (pts) upon systemic therapy. As data from controlled clinical trials are based on a selected patient population, the non-interventional study (NIS) BERING CRC observes a broader patient population under real-world conditions. Methods: BERING CRC is the first NIS to investigate the real-world use of E+C in BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer upon systemic treatment in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. For the present baseline analysis, disease characteristics and treatment data of the initial 40 pts were documented prospectively in 27 sites across Germany and Austria between 09/2020 and 08/2021. As BERING-CRC is ongoing, the study aims to enroll up to 500 pts from 96 German, Austrian, and Swiss sites. The study observes pts treated according to the approval as given in the respective Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). The primary objective is to analyze the 1-year overall survival rate. Secondary endpoints include efficacy, quality of life and tolerability of E+C. Data are analyzed descriptively using standard summary statistics. Results: 40 pts were included in this baseline analysis. The median age was 68 years (range 34-88) and 38% were female. 26 pts (65%) were documented with right-sided tumors and for 63% stage IV disease was noted at initial diagnosis. In the metastatic setting, the main sites of metastasis were liver, peritoneum, and lung (55%, 40%, 33% of pts, respectively), with 20% of pts having ≥ 3 organs involved. For 38% of pts, an ECOG performance status (PS) of 0 was documented at baseline assessment (60% ECOG PS 1 or 2). Adjuvant treatment was reported for 8 pts and 88% received chemotherapy alone in this setting. 3 pts (8%) were documented with E+C treatment directly following adjuvant therapy and half of all pts with documented first-line treatment received chemotherapy alone (CT), for 42% chemotherapy was combined with targeted therapy (CT+TT). In second-line, 74% of pts with documented treatment received E+C (9% CT, 17% CT+TT). Bi-weekly cetuximab dosing was reported for 11% of pts treated with E+C. Conclusions: While the high number of pts with right-sided tumors was in line with previous findings on BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC pts, considerably more pts were male in this initial real-world cohort and synchronous metastasis was reported markedly more often. As complementation to previous controlled clinical trial data, pts enrolled to date in BERING-CRC were notably older and presented with higher ECOG PS compared to the pivotal study. Clinical trial information: NCT04673955.
