RESUMEN
Colorectal cancer (CRC) with peritoneal metastases is a complex disease and its management presents significant clinical challenges. In well-selected patients at experienced centers, CRS/hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can be performed with acceptable morbidity and is associated with prolonged survival. Based on the results of recent randomized controlled trials, HIPEC using oxaliplatin after CRS with shortened perfusion periods (30 minutes) is no longer recommended. There is a movement toward utilizing mitomycin C as a first-line intraperitoneal agent with extended perfusion times (90-120 minutes); however, there is currently little prospective evidence to support its widespread use.

BACKGROUND: Advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma lacks effective treatment options, and systemic gemcitabine-based chemotherapy offers only marginal survival benefits at the cost of significant toxicities and adverse events. New therapeutic options with better drug availability are warranted. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-guided pancreatic arterial infusion (PAI) versus intravenous chemotherapy (IVC) using the gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GEMOX) regimen in unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer (PC) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study prospectively enrolled 51 eligible treatment-naive patients with unresectable PC to receive GEMOX treatment via PAI or IVC (1:1 ratio randomization) from December 2015 to December 2019. Cycles were repeated monthly, and each process consisted of two treatments administered bi-weekly. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), 1-year survival, 6-month survival, tumor-site subgroup survival, and incidences of adverse events were compared. RESULTS: The median OS of the PAI and IVC groups were 9.93 months and 10.07 months, respectively (p = 0.3049). The median PFS of the PAI and IVC groups were 5.07 months and 4.23 months (p = 0.1088). No significant differences were found in the ORR (11.54% vs. 4%, p = 0.6312), DCR (53.85% vs. 44%, p = 0.482), and 1-year OS rate (44% vs. 20.92%, p = 0.27) in PAI and IVC groups. The 6-month OS rate was significantly higher in the PAI group (100%) than in the IVC group (83.67%) (p = 0.0173). The median OS of patients in PAI group with pancreatic head and neck tumors were significantly higher than those of body and tail tumors (12.867 months vs. 9 months, p = 0.0214). The incidences of hematologic disorders, liver function disorders, and digestive disorders in the IVC group were higher than in the PAI group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: GEMOX PAI therapy presented a higher 6-month OS rate and fewer adverse events than IVC in advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients. Those with pancreatic head and neck tumors may yield a superior treatment outcome from PAI treatment. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02635971. DATE OF REGISTRATION: 21/12/2015.

Preclinical studies suggest that simultaneous HER2/VEGF blockade may have cooperative effects in gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas. In a single-arm investigator initiated clinical trial for patients with untreated advanced HER2+ gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, bevacizumab was added to standard of care capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and trastuzumab in 36 patients (NCT01191697). Primary endpoint was objective response rate and secondary endpoints included safety, duration of response, progression free survival, and overall survival. The study met its primary endpoint with an objective response rate of 81% (95% CI 65-92%). Median progression free and overall survival were 14.0 (95% CI, 11.3-36.4) and 23.2 months (95% CI, 16.6-36.4), respectively. The median duration of response was 14.9 months. The regimen was well tolerated without unexpected or severe toxicities. In post-hoc ctDNA analysis, baseline ctDNA features were prognostic: Higher tumor fraction and alternative MAPK drivers portended worse outcomes. ctDNA at resistance identified oncogenic mutations and these were detectable 2-8 cycles prior to radiographic progression. Capecitabine, oxaliplatin, trastuzumab and bevacizumab shows robust clinical activity in HER2+ gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. Combination of VEGF inhibitors with chemoimmunotherapy and anti-PD1 regimens is warranted.

The activation of tumor cell immunogenicity through oxaliplatin (OXP)-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) has significant implications in cancer treatment. However, the anti-tumor effect of OXP monotherapy still has many shortcomings, and the systemic administration of OXP leads to low drug concentration at the tumor site, which is susceptible to systemic toxic side effects. In this study, a combined therapeutic strategy using folate-modified nanoliposomes co-delivered with rapamycin (Rapa) and OXP (abbreviated as FA@R/O Lps) is proposed for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Rapa and OXP can directly inhibit tumor cell proliferation and induce apoptosis. OXP induces ICD by triggering the release of danger signals, such as HMGB1, ATP, and calreticulin. FA@R/O Lps with a particle size of about 134.1±1.8â¯nm and a small dispersion were successfully prepared. This novel liposomal system can be used to target and increase drug accumulation in tumors. In-vivo experiments showed that FA@R/O Lps successfully inhibit CRC growth and liver metastasis, and simultaneously reduce off-target toxicity. In particular, FA@R/O Lps showed greater therapeutic effects than free Rapa/OXP and R/O Lps. Taken together, this study provides a novel combination of Rapa and OXP, and a nano-delivery system for enhanced anti-CRC efficacy. The results suggest that FA@R/O Lps could be a promising strategy for the treatment of CRC.

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare pancreatic neoplasm. Recently, molecular analysis revealed that PACC shows a high frequency of the BRCA1/2 mutation and is likely to be considered a cancer associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Hereditary cancers, including HBOC, are characterized by multifocal and/or metachronous tumors. However, no case reports exist of germline BRCA1-mutated synchronous and metachronous PACC. CASE: A 58-year-old man was diagnosed with synchronous and metachronous PACC at the age of 56 and underwent two surgeries. Ten months after the second surgery, the patient developed multiple liver metastases. Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel therapy was administered as first-line chemotherapy. After seven cycles, computed tomography examination revealed progressive disease (PD). Therefore, modified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) was administered as second- line chemotherapy. After 19 cycles of mFFX, comprehensive cancer genomic profiling (CGP) identified a BRCA1 pathogenic variant that was confirmed to be germline origin. Accordingly, we treated the patient with olaparib; however, he was diagnosed with PD after 4 months. He subsequently died 5 years and 9 months after the initial surgery, and 3 years and 10 months after chemotherapy. Based on the genetic data of the patients, his family members received genetic counseling followed by cascade testing. Consequently, the same gBRCA1 pathogenic variant was detected in the son and his surveillance for HBOC-related cancers was initiated. CONCLUSION: We diagnosed a 58-year-old man with a synchronous and metachronous PACC with germline BRCA1 pathogenic variant. Considering that PACC is likely to have BRCA1/2 mutations responsible for HBOC, we need to be aware of the possible presence of multifocal and/or metachronous tumors in patients with PACC. Additionally, patients with PACC should undergo genetic examinations, which would be beneficial in determining treatment strategies and health care for blood relatives.

INTRODUCTION: Treating older adults with chemotherapy remains a challenge, given their under-representation in clinical trials and the lack of robust treatment guidelines for this population. Moreover, older patients, especially those with frailty, have an increased risk of developing chemotherapy-related toxicity, resulting in a decreased quality of life (QoL), increased hospitalisations and high healthcare costs. Phase II trials have suggested that upfront dose reduction of chemotherapy can reduce toxicity rates while maintaining efficacy, leading to fewer treatment discontinuations and an improved QoL. The DOSAGE aims to show that upfront dose-reduced chemotherapy in older patients with metastatic colorectal cancer is non-inferior to full-dose treatment in terms of progression-free survival (PFS), with adaption of the treatment plan (monotherapy or doublet chemotherapy) based on expected risk of treatment toxicity. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The DOSAGE study is an investigator-initiated phase III, open-label, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial in patients aged≥70 years with metastatic colorectal cancer eligible for palliative chemotherapy. Based on toxicity risk, assessed using the Geriatric 8 (G8) tool, patients will be stratified to either doublet chemotherapy (fluoropyrimidine with oxaliplatin) or fluoropyrimidine monotherapy. Patients classified as low risk will be randomised between a fluoropyrimidine plus oxaliplatin in either full-dose or with an upfront dose reduction of 25%. Patients classified as high risk will be randomised between fluoropyrimidine monotherapy in either full-dose or with an upfront dose reduction. In the dose-reduced arm, dose escalation after two cycles is allowed. The primary outcome is PFS. Secondary endpoints include grade≥3 toxicity, QoL, physical functioning, number of treatment cycles, dose reductions, hospital admissions, overall survival, cumulative received dosage and cost-effectiveness. Considering a median PFS of 8 months and non-inferiority margin of 8 weeks, we shall include 587 patients. The study will be enrolled in 36 Dutch Hospitals, with enrolment scheduled to start in July 2024. This study will provide new evidence regarding the effect of dose-reduced chemotherapy on survival and treatment outcomes, as well as the use of the G8 to choose between doublet chemotherapy or monotherapy. Results will contribute to a more individualised approach in older patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, potentially leading to improved QoL while maintaining survival benefits. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This trial has received ethical approval by the ethical committee Leiden Den Haag Delft (P24.018) and will be approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee of the participating institutions. The results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed scientific journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06275958.

Response to neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT) in rectal cancer has been associated with immune and stromal features that are captured by transcriptional signatures. However, how such associations perform across different chemoradiotherapy regimens and within individual consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) and how they affect survival remain unclear. In this study, gene expression and clinical data of pretreatment biopsies from nine cohorts of primary rectal tumors were combined (N = 826). Exploratory analyses were done with transcriptomic signatures for the endpoint of pathologic complete response (pCR), considering treatment regimen or CMS subtype. Relevant findings were tested for overall survival and recurrence-free survival. Immune and stromal signatures were strongly associated with pCR and lack of pCR, respectively, in RT and capecitabine (Cap)/5-fluorouracil (5FU)-treated patients (N = 387), in which the radiosensitivity signature (RSS) showed the strongest association. Upon addition of oxaliplatin (Ox; N = 123), stromal signatures switched direction and showed higher chances to achieve pCR than without Ox (p for interaction 0.02). Among Cap/5FU patients, most signatures performed similarly across CMS subtypes, except cytotoxic lymphocytes that were associated with pCR in CMS1 and CMS4 cases compared with other CMS subtypes (p for interaction 0.04). The only variables associated with survival were pCR and RSS. Although the frequency of pCR across different chemoradiation regimens is relatively similar, our data suggest that response rates may differ depending on the biological landscape of rectal cancer. Response to neoadjuvant RT in stroma-rich tumors may potentially be improved by the addition of Ox. RSS in preoperative biopsies provides predictive information for response specifically to neoadjuvant RT with 5FU. SIGNIFICANCE: Rectal cancers with stromal features may respond better to RT and 5FU/Cap with the addition of Ox. Within patients not treated with Ox, high levels of cytotoxic lymphocytes associate with response only in immune and stromal tumors. Our analyses provide biological insights about the outcome by different radiotherapy regimens in rectal cancer.

The randomized METIMMOX trial (NCT03388190) examined if patients with previously untreated, unresectable abdominal metastases from microsatellite-stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) might benefit from potentially immunogenic, short-course oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy alternating with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Three of 38 patients assigned to this experimental treatment had metastases from BRAF-mutant MSS-CRC, in general a poor-prognostic subgroup explored here. The ≥70-year-old females presented with ascending colon adenocarcinomas with intermediate tumor mutational burden (6.2-11.8 mutations per megabase). All experienced early disappearance of the primary tumor followed by complete response of all overt metastatic disease, resulting in progression-free survival as long as 20-35 months. However, they encountered recurrence at previously unaffected sites and ultimately sanctuary organs, or as intrahepatic tumor evolution reflected in the terminal loss of initially induced T-cell clonality in liver metastases. Yet, the remarkable first-line responses to short-course oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy alternating with ICB may offer a novel therapeutic option to a particularly hard-to-treat MSS-CRC subgroup.

This study aimed to compare second-line treatment outcomes for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer previously treated with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) therapy. We conducted an integrated analysis of two retrospective studies included 318 patients receiving nanoliposomal irinotecan + 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid (NFF) (n = 102), S-1 (n = 57), or FOLFIRINOX (n = 14) as second-line treatment. Median overall survival (OS) in the NFF group was 9.08 months, significantly better than S-1 (4.90 months, P = 0.002). FOLFIRINOX had a median OS of 4.77 months, not statistically different from NFF. Subgroup analyses of OS indicated NFF was generally superior, however, a statistical interaction was observed between the treatment regimen in serum Alb < 3.5 g/dL (P = 0.042) and serum CRP ≥ 0.3 mg/dL (P = 0.006). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.93 months for NFF, significantly better than S-1 (2.53 months, P = 0.024), while FOLFIRINOX had a comparable PFS (3.04 months, P = 0.948). Multivariate analysis identified the serum CRP, serum CA19-9, duration of first-line GnP therapy, and use (yes/no) of S-1 for second-line treatment as independent predictors for OS. This study concludes that second-line NFF therapy demonstrated a more favorable OS compared to S-1 therapy, however, it is still important to consider the patient background characteristics while selecting the most appropriate treatment.

BACKGROUND The FOHAIC-1 trial showed hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with infusional fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (HAIC-FO) improved survival, compared with sorafenib, in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to conduct a cost-effectiveness comparison between HAIC-FO and sorafenib from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system. MATERIAL AND METHODS The economic evaluation was conducted between July 2023 and February 2024, spanning a 10-year investment horizon. A Markov model was developed to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis of HAIC-FO vs sorafenib. Health states incorporated in the model comprised progression-free disease, progressed disease, and death. Transition probabilities were derived from data obtained from the FOHAIC-1 trial. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was calculated to evaluate cost-effectiveness. Additionally, one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses assessed the model's robustness. RESULTS The HAIC-FO group accrued a total cost of $22,781, whereas the sorafenib group totaled $18,795. In terms of effectiveness, the HAIC-FO group achieved 1.06 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), whereas the sorafenib group attained 0.65 QALYs. Compared with sorafenib, HAIC-FO yielded an additional 0.41 QALYs at a cost of additional $3,985, resulting in an incremental cost of $9,720 per QALY gained. The one-way sensitivity analysis revealed the final ICER remained below the willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of $30,492 per QALY, when considering parameter fluctuations. Additionally, probabilistic sensitivity analysis indicated a 99.8% probability that the ICER for HAIC-FO compared with sorafenib would fall below the WTP threshold. CONCLUSIONS Compared with sorafenib, HAIC-FO emerged as a cost-effective first-line treatment option for patients facing advanced HCC in China.

BACKGROUND: We evaluated whether the addition of docetaxel (D) to a combination comprising 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5-FU/LV) or capecitabine (C) plus oxaliplatin (O) (DOF/DOX) improved overall survival (OS) compared with 6 months of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or capecitabine in combination with oxaliplatin (FOLFOX/CAPOX) alone in advanced HER2-negative gastroesophageal junction and gastric adenocarcinomas (G/GEJ). METHODS: This study was an investigator-initiated, open-label, multi-institutional, randomized phase III trial in adult patients with HER2-negative advanced G/GEJs. The primary endpoint of the study was a comparison of median OS by Kaplan-Meier method. Next-generation sequencing was performed on tissue. RESULTS: Of the 324 patients randomly assigned between July 2020 and November 2022, 305 patients were evaluable for analysis (FOLFOX/CAPOX: 156; DOF/DOX: 149). With a median follow-up time of 19.2 months (95% Confidence Interval [CI] = 16.5 months to 21.9 months) for the entire cohort, the median OS was 10.1 months (95% CI = 9.2 to 10.9) for FOLFOX/CAPOX and 8.9 months (95% CI = 7.3 to 10.5) for DOF/DOX, and this difference was not statistically significant (P = .70). An increased proportion of grade 3 or grade 4 neutropenia (21% vs 3%; P < .001) and grade 2/3 neuropathy (17% vs 7%; P = .005) was seen in patients receiving DOF/DOX. Genomic profiling revealed a low incidence of microsatellite instability (1%) and a high incidence of BRCA1 (8.4%) and BRCA2 (7.5%) somatic alterations. CONCLUSION: FOLFOX or CAPOX chemotherapy for 6 months remains one of the standards of care in advanced HER2-negative gastroesophageal junction and gastric adenocarcinomas, with no additional survival benefit seen with the addition of docetaxel. Genomic profiling of patients revealed a higher than previously known incidence of somatic BRCA alterations, which requires further evaluation.CTRI (Clinical Trial Registry of India: CTRI/2020/03/023944).

This study tried to develop the α-Hederin/Oxaliplatin (OXA) dual-loaded rHDL (α-Hederin-OXA-rHDL) modified liposomes to improve the therapeutic index on colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). The α-Hederin-OXA-rHDL were prepared and evaluated for characterizations, accumulate to tumor tissues, and antitumor activity. A thorough investigation into oxaliplatin resistant and KRAS-mutant related hub keg genes were identified and performed to assess the prognosis role of the genetic signature in COAD. The potential immune signatures and molecular docking for verifing the predicted targets of α-Hederin-OXA-rHDL in tumor-bearing mice. Results suggested that α-Hederin-OXA-rHDL could enhance the sensitivity of oxaliplatin in HCT116/L-OHP cells via the regulation of KEAP1/NRF2 -mediated signaling and HO1 or GPX4 proteins. Furthermore, α-Hederin-OXA-rHDL regulated the predicted targets of PRDM1 interaction with miR-140-5p, efficient activing CD8 T cell to improve therapeutic response in vivo. Collectively, this work provides drug delivery with rHDL dual-loaded α-Hederin and oxaliplatin synergistically targets cancer cells and effectory T cells combating COAD.

PURPOSE: In patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, after failure of gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, this trial compares the efficacy of second-line therapy with FOLFIRI vs. OFF (1:1 randomisation) with cross-over to the vice-versa regimen as third-line therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The primary endpoint was PFS (progression-free survival: time from randomization until progression or death) of second-line therapy. The trial aimed to demonstrate non-inferiority of FOLFIRI vs OFF (non-inferiority margin of a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.5, power of 80% and a significance level of 5%, 196 events needed). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival of third-line therapy and safety. The trial is registered with EudraCT Nr. 2016-004640-11. RESULTS: The trial was terminated with 60 evaluable (37 with FOLFIRI, 23 with OFF) patients due to insufficient recruitment. PFS of second-line therapy was 2.4 (95% CI 2.3-2.6) months with FOLFIRI vs 2.4 (95% CI 2.2-2.7) months with OFF (HR: 0.80, 95% CI 0.45-1.42, P = 0.43). OS was comparable between the arms (HR: 0.95, 95% CI 0.54-1.66), P = 0.84). Only 4 out of 28 (14%) patients receiving third-line therapy achieved a disease control (partial remission or stable disease). Both second-line regimens were well tolerated without new or unexpected safety signals being observed. CONCLUSION: The exploratory analysis of this early terminated trial suggests that FOLFIRI and OFF have similar efficacy ant toxicity as second-line therapy of PDAC after failure of gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel. Third-line therapy regardless of regimen does not provide satisfactory efficacy in this sequential treatment algorithm.

INTRODUCTION: This multicenter phase I/IIa study aimed to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI), oxaliplatin, and S-1 (NASOX) as first-line treatment for advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. METHODS: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma without prior systemic treatment for advanced disease, aged ≥ 19 years, with measurable disease, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1 were eligible. The primary endpoints were to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in the phase I cohort and overall response rate (ORR) in the phase IIa cohort. The intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis included patients who received the RP2D. RESULTS: In phase I, seven patients were screened, and six were assessed for DLT. None experienced DLT during the first cycle. The RP2D was determined as nal-IRI 50 mg/m2 and oxaliplatin 60 mg/m2 on day 1, S-1 40 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1-7 every 14 days. For the ITT (N = 41; 7, and 34 from phases I and IIa, respectively), the most common grade 3-4 treatment-emergent adverse events were neutropenia (31.7 %), enterocolitis (9.8 %), anorexia (7.3 %), and diarrhea (2.4 %). The ORR was 58.5 % (1 complete, and 23 partial responses). Two underwent conversion surgery; both achieved R0 resection. With median follow-up of 17.5 months, median progression-free survival was 6.5 months (95 % confidence interval [CI], 5.0-8.1) and median overall survival was 11.4 months (95 % CI, 9.8-15.5). CONCLUSION: NASOX exhibited a manageable safety profile and encouraging efficacy outcomes consistent with NALIRIFOX, showing potential to replace infusional 5-fluorouracil with oral S-1 in the triplet regimen.

AIM: Adjuvant chemotherapy has been advised for high-risk stage II and III colon cancer since 2004. After the IDEA study showed no clinically relevant difference in outcome, reduction of adjuvant CAPOX duration from 6 to 3 months was rapidly adopted in the Dutch treatment guideline in 2017. This study investigates the real-world impact of the guideline change on overall survival (OS) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). METHODS: Patients with high-risk stage II (pT4 +) and III (pN+) colon cancer were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry, based on surgical resection and adjuvant CAPOX before (2015-2016) versus after (2018-2019) the guideline change. Both groups were compared on OS, using multivariable Cox regression, and on PROs. RESULTS: Patients treated before (n = 2330) and after (n = 2108) the guideline change showed similar OS (HR 1.02; 95 %CI [0.89-1.16]), also in high-risk stage III (pT4/N2, HR 1.06 [0.89-1.26]). After the guideline change, 90 % of patients were treated for 3 months with no inferior OS to those still receiving 6 months (HR 0.89 [0.66-1.20]). PROs 2 years after CAPOX completion, available for a subset of patients, suggest a lower neuropathy (n = 366; 26.2 [21.3-31.1] to 16.5 [14.4-18.6]) and better quality of life (n = 396; 80.9 [78.6-83.2] to 83.9 [82.8-84.9]), but no significant difference in workability (n = 120; 31.5 [27.9-35.1]) to 35.3 [33.8-36.7]), with reduction from 6 to 3 months of CAPOX. CONCLUSION: This real-world study confirmed that shorter adjuvant CAPOX did not compromise OS and may improve PROs, complementing the IDEA study and supporting 3 months of adjuvant CAPOX in daily clinical practice.

Despite the investment in platinum drugs research, cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin are still the only Pt-based compounds used as first line treatments for several cancers, with a few other compounds being approved for administration in some Asian countries. However, due to the severe and worldwide impact of oncological diseases, there is an urge for improved chemotherapeutic approaches. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical application of platinum complexes is hindered by their inherent toxicity and acquired resistance. Nanodelivery systems rose as a key strategy to overcome these challenges, with recognized versatility and ability towards improving the safety, bioavailability and efficacy of the available drugs. Among the known nanocarriers, organic systems have been widely applied, taking advantage of their potential as drug vehicles. Researchers have mainly focused on the development of lipidic and polymeric carriers, including supramolecular structures, with an overall improvement of encapsulated platinum complexes. Herein, an overview of recent trends and strategies is presented, with the main focus on the encapsulation of platinum compounds into organic nanocarriers, showcasing the evolution in the design and development of these promising systems. This comprehensive review highlights formulation methods as well as characterization procedures, providing insights that may be helpful for the development of novel platinum nanocarriers aiming at future pharmaceutical applications.

Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) and FOLFIRINOX are widely used as first-line regimens for unresectable pancreatic cancer (PC). When GnP therapy is selected, considering patient age or condition, second-line FOLFIRINOX is sometimes difficult to administer owing to its toxicity. This study aimed to determine the recommended dose (RD) of S-IROX (S-1, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan combination) regimens in patients with unresectable PC after first-line GnP failure. This phase-I study used the "3 + 3" dose-escalation design with two dose levels. Patients who failed first-line GnP therapy for unresectable PC were enrolled. Oxaliplatin and irinotecan were administered on day 1, and S-1 was administered orally twice daily on days 1-7, followed by 7 days of rest. The primary endpoints were dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and determination of RD. The secondary endpoint was the evaluation of potential antitumor activity. Nine patients received the second-line S-IROX regimen. In level-0 (S-1, 80 mg/m2; oxaliplatin, 85 mg/m2; and irinotecan, 120 mg/m2), no patient experienced DLT; however, one patient experienced grade 3 neutropenia. At level-1 (irinotecan increased to 150 mg/m2), one of six patients experienced DLTs, including G3 diarrhea. The RD was confirmed at the level-1 dose. The response rate, disease control rate, median progression-free survival, and median overall survival were 33.3%, 77.8%, 172 (range:77-422) days, and 414 (101-685) days, respectively. One patient underwent surgery after the second-line S-IROX therapy. Second-line S-IROX treatment was deemed acceptable. The RD was set at level-1 dose (S-1, 80 mg/m2; oxaliplatin, 85 mg/m2; and irinotecan, 150 mg/m2).

XELOX therapy, which comprises capecitabine and oxaliplatin, is the standard first-line chemotherapeutic regimen for colorectal cancer. However, its myelosuppressive effects pose challenges for its clinical management. Mathematical modeling combining pharmacokinetics (PK) and toxicodynamics (TD) is a promising approach for optimizing dosing strategies and reducing toxicity. This study aimed to develop a translational PK-TD model using rat data to inform dosing strategies and TD implications in humans. The rats were administered capecitabine, oxaliplatin, or XELOX combination regimen, and PK and TD data were collected. PK parameters were analyzed using sequential compartment analysis, whereas TD responses were assessed using Friberg's semiphysiological model. A toxicity intensity-based nomogram recommends optimal dosing strategies. Translational modeling techniques using the hybrid PK-TD model were employed to predict clinical responses. The PK-TD model successfully predicted the time-course profiles of hematological responses in rats following monotherapy and XELOX combination treatment. Interactive effects on lymphocytopenia were identified with the coadministration of capecitabine and oxaliplatin. A model-based recommended combination of the dose reduction rate for escaping severe lymphocytopenia was proposed as 40% and 60% doses of capecitabine and oxaliplatin, respectively. The current translational model techniques successfully simulated the time-course profiles of blood cell counts with confidence intervals in patients using rat data. Our study provides valuable insights into dose optimization strategies for each individual drug within the XELOX regimen and underscores the potential of translational modeling to improve patient outcomes. In addition to dose determination, these data will lay the groundwork for advancing drug development processes in oncology. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study introduced a novel translational modeling approach rooted in a rat PK-TD model to optimize dosing strategies for the XELOX regimen for colorectal cancer treatment. Our findings highlight the interactive effects on lymphocytopenia and suggest a toxicity intensity-based nomogram for dose reduction, thus advancing precision medicine. This translational modeling paradigm enhances our understanding of drug interactions, offering a tool to tailor dosing, minimize hematological toxicity, and improve therapeutic outcomes in patients undergoing XELOX therapy.

BACKGROUND: Recent data have demonstrated that in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), a total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) approach improves compliance with chemotherapy and increases rates of tumor response compared to neoadjuvant chemoradiation (CRT) alone. They further indicate that the optimal sequencing of TNT involves consolidation (rather than induction) chemotherapy to optimize complete response rates. Data, largely from retrospective studies, have also shown that patients with clinical complete response (cCR) after TNT may be managed safely with the watch and wait approach (WW) instead of preemptive total mesorectal resection (TME). However, the optimal consolidation chemotherapy regimen to achieve cCR has not been established, and a randomized clinical trial has not robustly evaluated cCR as a primary endpoint. Collaborating with a multidisciplinary oncology team and patient groups, we designed this NCI-sponsored study of chemotherapy intensification to address these issues and to drive up cCR rates, to provide opportunity for organ preservation, improve quality of life for patients and improve survival outcomes. METHODS: In this NCI-sponsored multi-group randomized, seamless phase II/III trial (1:1), up to 760 patients with LARC, T4N0, any T with node positive disease (any T, N +) or T3N0 requiring abdominoperineal resection or coloanal anastomosis and distal margin within 12 cm of anal verge will be enrolled. Stratification factors include tumor stage (T4 vs T1-3), nodal stage (N + vs N0) and distance from anal verge (0-4; 4-8; 8-12 cm). Patients will be randomized to receive neoadjuvant long-course chemoradiation (LCRT) followed by consolidation doublet (mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX) or triplet chemotherapy (mFOLFIRINOX) for 3-4 months. LCRT in both arms involves 4500 cGy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks + 900 cGy boost in 5 fractions with a fluoropyrimidine (capecitabine preferred). Patients will undergo assessment 8-12 (± 4) weeks post-TNT completion. The primary endpoint for the phase II portion will compare cCR between treatment arms. A total number of 312 evaluable patients (156 per arm) will provide statistical power of 90.5% to detect a 17% increase in cCR rate, at a one-sided alpha = 0.048. The primary endpoint for the phase III portion will compare disease-free survival (DFS) between treatment arms. A total of 285 DFS events will provide 85% power to detect an effect size of hazard ratio 0.70 at a one-sided alpha of 0.025, requiring enrollment of 760 patients (380 per arm). Secondary objectives include time-to event outcomes (overall survival, organ preservation time and time to distant metastasis) and adverse event rates. Biospecimens including archival tumor tissue, plasma and buffy coat, and serial rectal MRIs will be collected for exploratory correlative research. This study, activated in late 2022, is open across the NCTN and had accrued 330 patients as of May 2024. Study support: U10CA180821, U10CA180882, U24 CA196171; https://acknowledgments.alliancefound.org . DISCUSSION: Building on data from modern day rectal cancer trials and patient input from national advocacy groups, we have designed The Janus Rectal Cancer Trial studying chemotherapy intensification via a consolidation chemotherapy approach with the intent to enhance cCR and DFS rates, increase organ preservation rates, and improve quality of life for patients with rectal cancer. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov ID: NCT05610163; Support includes U10CA180868 (NRG) and U10CA180888 (SWOG).

A woman in her 40s underwent evaluation for abdominal pain, jaundice and acholic stools and was diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic head adenocarcinoma. She was enrolled in a clinical trial investigating the benefits of ibrutinib with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine, and subsequently received modified FOLFIRINOX. Over the course of 6 years on chemotherapy, she experienced complete regression of the pancreatic and liver lesions, as well as normalisation of her tumour markers. She has been off chemotherapy for 6 months with no evidence of disease and normal tumour markers. Despite advances in chemotherapy and surgical options, metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma continues to carry a grim prognosis. This case report demonstrates a rare case of a long-term survivor of unresectable metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with chemotherapy alone.
