    Abstract: 4023 Background: Survival in patients who relapse after first-line chemotherapy (CT) for advanced esophago-gastric adenocarcinoma (EGC) is poor though recently randomised trials (RCT) have suggested a small benefit for second line chemotherapy with taxanes or irinotecan. There is very little data on health related quality of life (HRQL) or overall survival (OS), particularly in patients who progress shortly after first-line therapy. Methods: COUGAR-02 was a multicentre open-label, phase III RCT for patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGC of performance status (PS) 0-2 who had progressed within 6 months of previous platinum/fluoropyrimidine CT. Patients were randomised (1:1) to receive either docetaxel 75mg/m 2 every 3 weeks for up to 6 cycles or active symptom control (ASC). The primary endpoint was OS. The secondary endpoint of HRQL, assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-ST022, was analysed using standardised area under a curve and compared using Wilcoxon rank sum test. Sensitivity analysis adjusting for dropouts due to death were performed using quality adjusted survival. Results: 168 patients (84 patients in each arm) were recruited between April 2008 and April 2012. Median age was 65 years (range 28-84); 81% were males. PS at randomisation was 0 for 27%, 1 for 57% and 2 for 15%. 86% had metastatic disease. 43% progressed during previous CT, 28% progressed within 3 months of end of previous CT and 29% progressed between 3 and 6 months. Median number of cycles of docetaxel was 3. 23% completed 6 cycles. Docetaxel was well tolerated and resulted in a significantly improved OS over ASC alone (HR=0.67 (95% CI 0.49-0.92); p=0.01). Objective response rate was 7%. For QLQ-C30, patients on docetaxel arm reported significantly less pain (p=0.0008) and trend for less nausea and vomiting (p=0.02) and constipation (p=0.02) than those on ASC arm. Similar global HRQL seen (p=0.53).For QLQ-ST022, trend seen for less dysphagia (p=0.02) and pain symptoms (p=0.01) for patients on docetaxel arm than ASC Conclusions: Docetaxel provided a significant OS benefit over ASC with improvements in symptom scores and no loss in overall HRQL. Docetaxel can be considered a standard of care in this setting. Clinical trial information: NCT00978549.

    Abstract: TPS4156 Background: Perioperative ECX chemotherapy is a standard of care for localised operable gastric/OGJ/lower oesophageal adenocarcinoma (Cunningham, NEJM 2006). In combination with chemotherapy B, a monoclonal antibody targeting VEGF-A, results in improved response rates (RR) and progression free survival in advanced gastric cancer (Ohtsu, JCO 2011). ST03 aims to assess the safety and feasibility (stage I, 200 pts) and efficacy (stage II) of the addition of B to perioperative ECX chemotherapy. Methods: ST03 is a multicentre, open-label, phase II/III randomised trial open at 106 UK centres. Eligibility criteria are histologically proven, untreated, resectable, lower oesophageal, OGJ or gastric adenocarcinoma; age ≥18 years; WHO PS 0-1; and adequate cardiac ejection fraction (EF). Exclusion criteria are TIA/CVA or MI ≤1 year; uncontrolled hypertension; ≥ Grade 2 NYHA heart failure; recent gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions or major surgery/trauma/open biopsy 〈 28d of study entry. Pts receive 3 pre- and 3 postoperative ECX (epirubicin 50 mg/m2 iv D1, cisplatin 60 mg/m2 iv D1 and capecitabine 1250mg/m2/D1-21) +/- B 7.5mg/kg D1 q3wk during chemotherapy, then 6 B q3wk (investigational arm). Surgery is pre-specified and laparoscopic procedures allowed only after quality assurance review. All specimens undergo central pathology review; blood and tissue collection for translational studies is ongoing. Stage I Safety results including cardiac EF have been reported (Okines Ann Oncol 2012). The stage II primary outcome measure is overall survival. Secondary outcome measures are RR, resection rate, disease free survival, toxicity, and QoL. MRI and PET substudies are ongoing. 877 of 1,100 pts have been recruited, accrual expected to complete in Q4 2013. A pilot study within ST03 randomising HER2 positive pts to ECX ± lapatanib (L) opened Q1 2013 and will assess safety, HER2 positivity rate and feasibility in 40 pts randomised between standard ECX and modified ECX+L. Trial sponsored and co-ordinated by the MRC Clinical Trials Unit and funded by Cancer Research UK (CRUK06/025, NCT00450203). Clinical trial information: NCT00450203.

    Abstract: LBA4000 Background: EGFR overexpression occurs in 27-50% of esophagogastric adenocarcinomas (OGA), and correlates with poor prognosis. The REAL3 trial evaluated the addition of the anti-EGFR antibody panitumumab (P) to epirubicin, oxaliplatin and capecitabine (EOC) in advanced OGA. Methods: Patients with untreated, metastatic or locally advanced OGA were randomised to EOC (E 50mg/m2, O 130mg/m2, C 1250mg/m2/day) or mEOC+P (E 50mg/m2, O 100mg/m2, C 1000mg/m2/day, P 9mg/kg). Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS); secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), response rate (RR), toxicity, and biomarker evaluation. Response was evaluated by RECIST after 4 and 8 cycles. Following IDMC review in October 2011 trial recruitment was halted and panitumumab withdrawn. Data for patients on treatment were censored at this timepoint. Results: 553 patients were recruited (EOC 275, mEOC+P 278), with median follow-up 5.0 and 5.2 months respectively. Median OS was 11.3 months with EOC compared to 8.8 months with mEOC+P (HR 1.37: 95% CI 1.07-1.76, p=0.013). Median PFS was 7.4 and 6.0 months respectively (HR 1.22: 95% CI 0.98-1.52, p=0.068), with RR being 42% compared to 46% (odds ratio 1.16: 95% CI 0.81-1.57, p=0.467). mEOC+P was associated with ↑ G3/4 diarrhoea (17% vs 11%), skin rash (14% vs 1%) and thrombotic events (12% vs 7%), but ↓ haem toxicity ( 〉 G3 neutropenia 14% vs 31%). In the mEOC+P arm, OS was significantly improved in patients with G1-3 rash (77%, n=209) on treatment compared to those without (23%, n=63); median OS 10.2 vs 4.3 months (p 〈 0.001), with similar significant improvements seen in RR and PFS. Biomarker analysis in the first 200 patients has not identified other predictive markers associated with P therapy. Multivariate analysis for OS in these patients demonstrated a negatively prognostic role for KRAS mutation (HR 2.1: 95% CI 1.10-4.05, p=0.025) and PIK3CA mutation (HR 3.2: 95% CI 1.01-10.40, p=0.048). Conclusions: Addition of P to EOC chemotherapy was associated with worsening of OS in an unselected advanced OGA population. This may be in part due to lowered doses of O and C in the mEOC+P regimen. Outcomes in patients treated with P varied by grade of skin toxicity.

    Abstract: LBA4006 Background: The ESPAC-3 trial compared adjuvant GEM with 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid for resected pancreatic cancer. GEM is the standard of care based on similar survival and less toxicity. ESPAC-4 aimed to determine whether combination chemotherapy with GEM/CAP improved survival compared to GEM monotherapy. Methods: Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma were randomized within 12 weeks of surgery (stratified for R0/R1 resection margin status and country) to have either six 4 week cycles of IV GEM alone or GEM with oral CAP. The primary endpoint was overall survival; secondary endpoints were toxicity, relapse free survival, 2 and 5 year survival and quality of life. 722 patients (480 expected events), 361 in each arm, were needed to detect a 10% difference in 2 year survival rates with 90% power (log-rank test with 5% two-sided alpha). Results: Between Nov 10 2008 and Sep 11 2014, 732 patients were randomized with 730 included in the full analysis set (366 GEM, 364 GEM/CAP). Median age was 65 years, 57% were men. WHO performance status was 0, 1 or 2 in 42% 55% and 3% respectively. Postoperative median CA19-9 was 19 kU/L. Median maximum tumor size was 30 mm, 60% were R1 resections, 80% were node positive and 40% were poorly differentiated. On Dec 11 2015 the Independent Trial Steering Committee requested that the trial proceed to full analysis. The data freeze was on March 2 2016. Median survival (months) for patients treated with GEM/CAP was 28.0 (95% CI, 23.5 – 31.5) and 25.5 (22.7 – 27.9) for GEM. Stratified log-rank analysis revealed an HR=0.82 [95% CI, 0.68 – 0.98]; χ 2 (1) = 4.61, P=0.032. 196 out of 366 GEM patients in the safety set reported 481 grade 3/4 adverse events, while 226 out of 359 GEM/CAP patients reported 608 grade 3/4 adverse events ( P=0.242). Conclusions: Adjuvant GEM/CAP for pancreatic cancer had a statistically significant improvement in survival compared to GEM monotherapy. Clinical trial information: ISRCTN96397434.

    Abstract: LBA4 Background: Survival in patients who relapse after first-line chemotherapy for advanced esophagogastric adenocarcinoma (OGC) is poor though recently randomized trials have suggested a small survival benefit for second-line chemotherapy with taxanes or irinotecan. There is very little data on quality of life or survival, particularly in patients who progress shortly after first-line therapy. Methods: COUGAR-02 was a multicenter open-label, randomized controlled phase III trial for patients with locally advanced or metastatic OGC of performance status (PS) 0-2 who had progressed within 6 months of previous platinum/fluoropyrimidine (PF) chemotherapy (CT). Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either docetaxel 75mg/m 2 every 3 weeks for up to 6 cycles or active symptom control (ASC), which could include any treatment thought by the treating clinician to be appropriate for the management of symptoms including radiotherapy, steroids and supportive medications. The primary endpoint was overall survival. Secondary endpoints were response rate, toxicity, health related quality of life (HRQL) and healthcare resource use. Results: Between April 2008 and April 2012, 168 patients were recruited (84 patients in each arm). Median age was 65 years (range 28-84), 81% were male. PS at randomisation was 0 for 27%, 1 for 57% and 2 for 15%. Site of disease was stomach in 46%, esophagogastric junction in 34% and esophagus in 20%. 86% had metastatic disease. 43% progressed during previous CT, 28% progressed within 3 months of end of previous CT and 29% progressed between 3 and 6 months. 19 (23%) patients completed 6 CT cycles (median 3 cycles per patient). The main reasons for not completing treatment were progression and toxicity. Docetaxel significantly improved overall survival over ASC alone (median 5.2 months (95% CI 4.1-5.9 months) for docetaxel; 3.6 months (95% CI 3.3-4.4 months) for ASC, HR=0.67 (95% CI 0.49-0.92); p=0.01). 7% had a partial response and 46% had stable disease after CT. 21% on docetaxel had grade 4 toxicity. Conclusions: The addition of docetaxel to ASC significantly improved overall survival. Docetaxel can be considered a standard of care in this setting. Clinical trial information: 13366390.

    Abstract: 91 Background: The REAL3 trial evaluated the addition of panitumumab (P) to epirubicin, oxaliplatin and capecitabine (EOC) in advanced OGA. We previously reported that addition of panitumumab was not associated with improvement in survival endpoints. In this analysis we aimed to explore factors associated with OS in the REAL3 population. Methods: Analysis performed in ITT population (n=553). OS was evaluated in relation to the baseline characteristics displayed in the table below. Cox regression was used to obtain HRs and 95% CIs. Factors with p 〈 0.2 were included in a forward stepwise model and factors with p 〈 0.1 were regarded as significant in the final model. OS was also assessed using the RMH Prognostic Index score which comprises 4 adverse variables: PS 2; liver mets; peritoneal mets; ALP 〉 100 U/L. Results: Results of the univariate analysis are shown in the table below. In multi-variate analysis, the factors which remained statistically significant for OS were: PS (p=0.080): 1 vs 0 HR 1.24 (95% CI 0.99-1.57); 2 vs 0 HR 1.57 (95%CI 0.97-2.54) Disease extent (p=0.054): Met disease vs LA HR 1.42 (95% CI 0.99-2.02) Baseline global health score (p=0.005): Low vs high HR 1.52 (95% CI 1.16-2.00); middle vs high HR 1.45 (95% CI 1.11-1.89) Patients with an RMH Prognostic Index score of 0 (good prognosis) had median OS of 13.1 mo. This compared to 9.5 mo in patients with 1-2 adverse features (intermediate prognosis) (HR 1.37, 95% CI 1.12-1.68; p=0.002) and 4.7 mo in patients with 3-4 adverse features (poor prognosis) (HR 4.02, 95% CI 1.96-8.22; p 〈 0.001). Conclusions: Baseline global quality of life may represent a useful adjunct to clinical parameters to guide prognostication in advanced OGA. These findings also validate the RMH Prognostic Index score in the REAL3 population. Clinical trial information: 2007-005976-15.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: 4104 Background: We investigated the potential of biomarkers to predict efficacy of vandetanib and gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced (N = 41) or metastatic (N = 101) pancreatic cancer in a phase II double-blind multicentre randomised placebo-controlled trial. Methods: All patients were 18y or above, (ECOG = 0-2), with at least 3 mths life expectancy had gemcitabine (1000mg/m 2 30min iv wkly for 7 wks, followed by a 1wk break, then cycles of wkly treatment for 3wks with a 1-wk break) and randomly assigned to 300mg/d vandetanib or placebo once daily until disease progression. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS) by intention to treat. A panel of potential biomarkers was tested to predict best survival with vandetanib and gemcitabine. Results: 142 patients were randomised, median FU = 24·9 mths with 131 deaths. The median (95% CI) OS in the 70 gemcitabine-placebo patients was 8·95 (6·55-11·7) mths and 8·83 (7·11-11·6) mths in the 72 gemcitabine-vandetanib patients (HR = 1·21, 95% CI = 0·85, 1·73; log rank X 2 1df = 1·1; P = 0·303). A CTCAE V.4.02 rash grade 2 or above occurred in 4 (6 %) of 70 placebo patients versus 14 (19%) of 72 vandetanib patients. The median OS for the 14 vandetanib patients and with rash was 11·92 (10·89 – NA) mths, 7·76 (4·34 – 11·5) mths for the 58 vandetanib patients and without rash and 8·95 (6·55 – 11·7) mths for the gemcitabine-placebo patients (log rank Χ 2 2df = 7·23; P = 0·03). We identified two biomarkers that could select patients for response to vandetanib (JN101, JN102). The biomarker combination was present in 26 patients with median OS of 12.1 (10.9, 16.0) mths versus 8.15 (6.67, 11.7) mths for 23 patients with the same biomarker profile in the placebo group (HR = 0.53 [0.29, 0.97], p = 0.0396). A logistic regression model showed that patients with JN102 were more likely to develop a rash (OR =0.81 [0.713, 0.925] p = 0.002). Conclusions: A two biomarker combination and a rash grade 2 or above may predict response to vandetanib and gemcitabine. This requires prospective evaluation. Clinical trial information: 96397434.

    Abstract: 4516 Background: The ESPAC-4 trial demonstrated that adjuvant GEM/CAP for pancreatic cancer significantly improved survival compared to GEM monotherapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes in the ESPAC-4 trial. Methods: Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma were randomized within 12 weeks of surgery (stratified for R0/R1 resection margin status and country) to have either six 4-week cycles of IV GEM alone or GEM with oral CAP. The primary endpoint was five-year survival; secondary endpoints were toxicity and relapse free survival. 722 patients (480 expected events), 361 in each arm, were needed to detect a 10% difference in 2-year survival rates with 90% power (log-rank test with 5% two-sided alpha). Results: Between Nov 10 2008 and Sep 11 2014, 732 patients were randomized with 730 included in the full analysis set (366 GEM, 364 GEM/CAP). Median age was 65 years, 57% were men. WHO performance status was 0, 1 or 2 in 42% 55% and 3% respectively. Postoperative median CA19-9 was 19 kU/L. Median maximum tumor size was 30 mm, 61% were R1 resections, 80% were node positive and 40% were poorly differentiated. The data freeze was on 24 February 2020; median follow up was 60 months with 531 overall deaths, 280 in GEM, and 251 in GEM/CAP. Median (95% CI) survival (months) for patients treated with GEM/CAP was 27.7 23.3 – 31.2) and 26.0 (22.7 – 28.4) for GEM. Five-year (95% CI) survival rates were 20 (16 – 25) % for GEM and 28 (23 – 33) % for GEM/CAP. Stratified log-rank analysis revealed an HR=0.84 [95% CI, 0.70 – 0.99]; χ 2 (1) = 3.87, P=0.049. 70 out of 366 GEM patients in the safety set reported 101 grade 3/4 serious adverse events, while 65 out of 359 GEM/CAP patients reported 97 grade 3/4 serious adverse events ( P=0.724). Conclusions: Adjuvant GEM/CAP for pancreatic cancer had a statistically significant improvement in survival compared to GEM monotherapy. Clinical trial information: 96397434 .

    Abstract: TPS4143 Background: Perioperative ECX chemotherapy is a standard of care for localised gastric/OGJ/lower oesophageal adenocarcinoma (Cunningham NEJM 2006). B is a monoclonal antibody targeting VEGF-A, and in combination with chemotherapy results in improved response rates (RR) and progression free survival in advanced gastric cancer (Ohtsu JCO 2011). The aim of ST03 is to assess the safety and feasibility (stage I, first 200 pts) and efficacy (stage II) of the addition of B to perioperative ECX chemotherapy. Methods: ST03 is a multicentre, open-label, phase II/III randomised trial ongoing at 92 UK centres; sites in Germany will open in 2012. Eligibility criteria are histologically proven, untreated, resectable, lower oesophageal, OGJ or gastric adenocarcinoma; age ≥18 years; WHO PS 0-1; and adequate cardiac ejection fraction (EF). Exclusion criteria are TIA/CVA or MI ≤1 year; uncontrolled hypertension; ≥Grade II NYHA heart failure; recent gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions or major surgery/trauma/open biopsy 〈 28d of study entry. Pts receive 3 pre- and 3 postoperative ECX (epirubicin 50 mg/m 2 iv D1, cisplatin 60 mg/m 2 iv D1 and capecitabine 1250mg/m 2 /D1-21) +/- B 7.5mg/kg D1 q3wk during chemotherapy, then 6 Bev q3wk (investigational arm). Surgery is pre-specified and laparoscopic procedures allowed only after quality assurance review. All specimens undergo central pathology review; blood and tissue collection for translational correlates is ongoing. The primary outcome measures for Stage I (safety results including cardiac EF) have been reported (Okines ASCO 2011). The stage II primary outcome measure is overall survival. Secondary outcome measures are RR, resection rate, disease free survival, toxicity, and QoL. An MRI substudy is open, a PET substudy is planned. 558 of ~950 pts required have been recruited, accrual expected to complete in 2013. An embedded pilot study within ST03 randomising HER2 positive patients to ECX ± lapatanib will open in 2012. Trial sponsored and co-ordinated by the MRC Clinical Trials Unit and funded by Cancer Research UK (CRUK06/025, NCT00450203).
