    Abstract: 266 Background: Erlotinib has been reported to be associated with a high incidence of skin toxicities, such as acneiform rash, paronychia and xerosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic minocycline treatment for the skin toxicities induced by erlotinib, as compared to deferred minocycline treatment. Methods: The study subjects were patients with advanced pancreatic cancer receiving treatment with erlotinib plus gemcitabine. In the prophylactic minocycline group, oral minocycline was administered at the dose of 200 mg/daily during the chemotherapy prior to the emergence of any skin toxicities, while in the deferred minocycline group, oral minocycline treatment at 200mg/daily was initiated after the emergence of grade 2-3 of skin toxicities. In both groups, heparinoids were administered during the chemotherapy and topical steroid therapy was initiated after the emergence of the skin toxicities. Results: A total of 96 patients were enrolled, of which 44 received prophylactic minocycline treatment and 52 received deferred minocycline treatment. The incidence rate of acneiform rash and xerosis of any grade during the first 6 weeks of chemotherapy was significantly reduced in the prophylactic minocycline treatment group as compared with that in the deferred minocycline treatment group (47.7% vs. 80.8%; p 〈 0.001; 2.3% vs. 19.2%; p=0.01); on the other hand, no significant difference in the incidence rate of paronychia of any grade was observed between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified prophylactic minocycline treatment and female gender as significant independent factors associated with the incidence of acneiform rash of any grade (odds ratio [OR], 0.20; 95%CI, 0.08 to 0.49; p 〈 0.001; OR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.11 to 0.87; p=0.03). Conclusions: Prophylactic minocycline treatment significantly reduced the incidence of acneiform rash and xerosis, but not that of paronychia, induced by erlotinib in advanced pancreatic cancer patients. Prophylactic minocycline treatment is recommended for the management of erlotinib-related acneiform rash and xerosis.

    Abstract: 376 Background: Gallbladder cancer (Gb ca) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC ca) are major primary sites in biliary tract cancer. Progresses of diagnosis and anti-cancer therapy for Gb and CC ca lead to the changes of patients’ characteristics and overall survival time, but is not fully understood. This study aimed to identify the time trends in patients with Gb and CC ca. Methods: The inclusive criteria in this study was the patients receiving initial treatment including surgery (Op), chemotherapy (Chemo), radiotherapy (RT), or best supportive care (BSC) for Gb or CC ca in our institution, and 1047 patients were reviewed. Patient who received initial treatment at 1992-2005 were in 54.1 % of the study subjects and was defined as Group 1. Patients with initial treatment at 2006-2012 were categorized to Group 2 and were in 45.9% of all patients. The differences between two groups were evaluated, and the features of Group 2 were identified. Results: Age more than 60 years (Odd ratio [OR]: 2.37), the absence of distant metastasis (OR: 2.13), and ECOG performance status score (PS) = 0 (OR: 1.70) were identified as the independent features of Group 2. The rates of Op, Chemo, RT, and BSC were 38.5, 24.7, 14.9, and 21.7% in Group 1, and 40.8, 49.9, 1.5, and 6.0% in Group 2. The rate of Chemo in Group 2 was higher than that in Group 1 (P 〈 0.01). The median times of overall survival (OS) in Op, Chemo, RT, and BSC were 21.1, 5.2, 6.9, and 2.4 months in Group 1 and 60.6, 9.2, 10.5, 2.8 months in Group 2. The OS in Op or Chemo of Group 2 was longer than that in Group 1 (P 〈 0.01, P 〈 0.01). The independent poor prognostic factors were distant metastasis (HR: 3.91), Group 1 (1.81), and PS 〉 0 (1.72) in all patients, distant metastasis (HR: 3.56), Group 1 (2.12), biliary drainage (1.75) in Op, and PS 〉 0 (HR: 1.97), Group 1 (1.74), and distant metastasis (1.64) in Chemo. Conclusions: The recent trends in patients with Gb and CC ca were aging, low rates of distant metastasis, good PS, increased cases with chemotherapy, and the prolonged survival times in surgery and chemotherapy. The presence of distant metastasis, the worsened PS, and the previous treatment group were the independent poor prognostic factors.

    Abstract: 2559 Background: Arctigenin, which is abundant in the seeds of Arctium lappa Linné, was found by a novel strategy to attenuate cancer cells’ tolerance to glucose deprivation (antiausterity) and showed antitumor activity in mouse xenograft models. GBS-01 is an orally administered drug and contains rich arctigenin extracted from Arctium lappa Linné, which is one of the traditional herbal medicine. This study investigated the maximum-tolerated dose of GBS-01 based on the frequency of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) in patients with refractory advanced pancreatic cancer, which is considered as one of the hypoxic cancer. Methods: Histologically or cytologically proven advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients refractory to gemcitabine were enrolled. GBS-01 was administered orally at escalating doses from 3g to 12g qd. DLT was defined as grade 4 hematological toxicities and grade 3 or 4 non-hematological toxicities during first 28 days of the treatment. Response evaluation based on RECIST criteria and progression-free survival were set as secondary endpoint for efficacy evaluation. Results: Fifteen patients (GBS-01 3g: 3 patients, 7.5g: 3 patients, 12g: 9 patients) were enrolled in this trial. All patients were refractory to S-1 as well as gemcitabine. All patients at the three dose levels did not demonstrate any sign of DLT. The main adverse events of this agent were increased γGTP, hyperglycemia, and increased total bilirubin, but all toxicities were extremely mild. Of all 15 enrolled patients, 1 patient showed a partial response and 4 patients had a stable disease. The median progression-free and overall survival time for all patients were 1.05 months and 5.68 months, respectively. Conclusions: The recommended dose of GBS-01 was 12 g qd (4 g as a extract of Arctium lappa Linné), and favorable clinical responses were obtained. A multicenter phase II trial is being planned to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this agent. Clinical trial information: 000005787.

    Abstract: 336 Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the influences of obstructive jaundice (OJ) in unresectable biliary tract cancer (BTC) patients. Methods: Data of a total of 200 patients who were newly diagnosed as having unresectable BTC and received chemotherapy between July 2006 and December 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether or not they presented with OJ as the incipient chief complaint (Group 1, patients with OJ; Group 2, patients without OJ). Results: There were 81 patients in Group 1 and 119 patients in Group 2. In regard to the primary site (Group 1/Group 2), 29 had perihilar (27/2), 7 had distal (7/0), 68 had intrahepatic (15/53), 92 had gallbladder (31/61) and 4 had ampulla of vater (1/3) (p 〈 0.01). The rate of distant metastasis was 60% in Group 1 and 76% in Group 2 (p=0.02). The performance status was good (0 or 1) in 96% of cases of both the groups. There were no significant differences in the median survival time between Group 1 and Group 2 (9.0 months vs. 9.0 months, p=0.42) or in the progression free survival of 1st line chemotherapy between the two groups (4.1 months vs. 3.7 months, p=0.08). The rate of development of biliary obstruction in Group 1 was significantly high during the first line chemotherapy (56% vs. 10%, p 〈 0.01). Discontinuation of 1st line chemotherapy was necessitated due to biliary obstruction in 9 patients (10%) of Group 1 and none of the patients (0%) of Group 2. Multivariate analysis showed that absence of metastasis and use of a doublet chemotherapy regimen were significantly correlated with the overall survival, but not the presence of OJ as the incipient chief complaint (HR, 0.772; 95% CI, 0.532-1.119). Conclusions: Patients with OJ as the incipient chief complaint showed high rate of recurrent biliary obstruction and discontinuation chemotherapy due to biliary obstruction. However, OJ may not disadvantage for overall survival in BTC.

    Abstract: 244 Background: Age is a mirror for pathogenesis in some of biliary tract cancer (BTC) as liver fluke- or pancreaticobiliary maljunction-associated BTCs. However, the age effects including prognosis in BTC were not fully understood. The identification of the age effects might be helpful for the management of BTC. Methods: For the years 1992-2014, 1287 patients receiving initial treatment for BTC in our institution were reviewed. According to age at diagnosis of BTC, patients were divided into the five age groups as 〈 50, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and ≥80. The relationships between overall survival time (OS) and the five age groups were analyzed using wilcoxon test to choose a prognostic cut-off of age. On the basis of a prognostic cut-off of age, the prognostic age classification was constructed. The multivariate analysis with logistic regression modeling was performed to determine the influence of gender, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status scale [ECOG-PS], primary site, and metastatic site on the prognostic age classification. Results: Median age was 67 years with male 59%. ECOG PS of 0 was 63.7%.The sites of primary tumor included intrahepatic (25.2%) and extrahepatic bile duct (34.0%), gallbladder (31.9%) and ampulla of Vater (8.9%). The prognostic cut-off of age was age less than 60 (21.8% of all). Median OS in younger patients (age 〈 60, median OS: 7.9mo) was shorter than that in elder patients (age≥60, median OS 12.4mo, P 〈 0.01). In univariate analysis, the prevalence of bone metastasis, distal lymph node metastasis and peritoneal dissemination was higher in younger BTC than elder patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that peritoneal dissemination was an independent younger BTC related-factor (OR=1.9, P 〈 0.01). Conclusions: Younger BTC patients (age 〈 60) showed poor prognosis and the high frequency of peritoneal dissemination, compared to elder BTC patients. The relationship between age and peritoneal dissemination of BTC might be a key to elucidate the age effect concomitant with poor prognosis.

    Abstract: 265 Background: The serum tumor-marker in monitoring response to chemotherapy is not valid in advanced pancreatic cancer (PC). S100 calcium-binding protein P (S100P) has been reported as a predictive diagnostic index for PC and may serve as an early marker to activity of chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between the efficacies of chemotherapy and the kinetics of tumor-markers including serum S100P, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) in prospective cohort of advanced PC. Methods: Patients who were treatment naïve for advanced PC with liver mets were eligible. Serum levels of S100P, CEA, and CA19-9 were measured at baseline and at one month later. The patients without monitoring of tumor-markers were excluded. A response of tumor-marker was defined as a decrease of at least 25%. Clinical data including radiological response according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors ver. 1.1 were prospectively collected. S100P, CEA, and CA19-9 responses were tested in association with progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: Fifty patients were analyzed in this study (male: 64%, median age: 67 years, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status [PS] 0: 60%). All of 50 patients received chemotherapy (gemcitabine [GEM]: 13 pts, GEM doublets: 34 pts, 5FU-based regimen: 3 pts). PFS and OS were 2.8 and 6.1 months. Responses of S100P, CEA, and CA19-9 were founded in 50%, 16%, and 32% of all, respectively. Multivariate analysis for PFS in Cox regression hazard model was performed using age, gender, PS, CEA, CA19-9, and S100P, and revealed that the independent predictors to longer PFS were responses of S100P (HR to progression: 0.47, P=0.02) and CEA (HR: 0.29, P=0.01). S100P or CEA responders showed better OS in univariate analysis using log-rank test, compared to non-responders of S100P (responder vs. non-responder: 8.4 vs. 3.7 months, P=0.04) or CEA (12.0 vs. 5.9 months, P=0.02), but not in multivariate analysis. Conclusions: Biochemical response of S100P might be useful for monitoring response to chemotherapy in advanced PC, which warranted further study in relationship between serum S100P response and treatment efficacies.

    Abstract: 195 Background: Alleviation of symptoms is related to good tumor control in patients undergoing systemic chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer (PC). The predictive value of symptom change has not been fully understood. The aim of this study was to identify symptom changes that predicted disease control by systemic chemotherapy in PC patients. Methods: Patients with unresectable PC who had not received any anti-cancer therapy for PC were eligible for inclusion in this study. Patients with obvious infectious conditions were excluded. Symptoms were scored from 0 to 10 using the Japanese version of the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory before the start of chemotherapy and one month later. The response of the tumor was evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) vs. 1.0. Disease control was defined as CR, PR, or SD. An attempt was made to identify symptom changes that predicted disease control, and their impact on progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed. Results: The symptoms of 87 patients (male/female: 46/41, Karnofsky performance status (KPS): 100/90/80/70-50: 32/29/17/9, median age: 66 years) were prospectively assessed. Gemcitabine monotherapy (GEM), a GEM-based regimen, and S-1 monotherapy were performed in 42, 41, and 4 patients, respectively. Disease control was observed in 31 patients. The pain scores (P=0.047) and sleep disturbance scores (P=0.052) one month later were lower than before treatment in patients with disease control. Patients without deterioration of pain or sleep disturbance had a higher frequency of disease control (P=0.098 and P=0.004, respectively) and a longer PFS (P=0.021 and P 〈 0.001, respectively) than patients whose pain or sleep disturbance became more severe. Conclusions: Improvements in pain and sleep disturbance scores at one month predict disease control by systemic chemotherapy in patients with advanced PC.

    Abstract: Interstitielle Lungenerkrankungen (ILE), die im Zusammenhang mit einer Chemotherapie auftreten, haben häufig fatale Auswirkungen; das angewandte Chemotherapieschema kann in der Regel nicht wieder aufgenommen worden. Eine ILE, die im Kontext einer Behandlung mit dem mTOR-Inhibitor Everolimus (mTOR: mammalian target of rapamycin) auftritt, unterscheidet sich in vielen Merkmalen von einer chemotherapieassoziierten ILE. Wir stellen den Fall einer 58-jährigen Patientin mit fortgeschrittenem neuroendokrinem Tumor der Bauchspeicheldrüse und Lebermetastasen vor, bei der trotz zweimaligen Auftretens einer Everolimus-induzierten ILE die Behandlung mit Everolimus fortgeführt wurde und zu einer Teilremission führte. Der Behandlungszeitraum umfasste insgesamt 31 Monate bis zur Krankheitsprogression. Ärzte, die mit Everolimus behandeln, sollten die Patienten engmaschig auf ILE überwachen und geeignete Strategien anwenden, um die Möglichkeit der Weiterführung der Everolimus-Therapie zu optimieren.
