RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study investigated the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by durvalumab as neoadjuvant therapy of locally advanced rectal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The PANDORA trial is a prospective, phase II, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of preoperative treatment with durvalumab (1500 mg every 4 weeks for three administrations) following long-course radiotherapy (RT) plus concomitant capecitabine (5040 cGy RT in 25-28 fractions over 5 weeks and capecitabine administered at 825 mg/m2 twice daily). The primary endpoint was the pathological complete response (pCR) rate; secondary endpoints were the proportion of clinical complete remissions and safety. The sample size was estimated assuming a null pCR proportion of 0.15 and an alternative pCR proportion of 0.30 (α = 0.05, power = 0.80). The proposed treatment could be considered promising if ≥13 pCRs were observed in 55 patients (EudraCT: 2018-004758-39; NCT04083365). RESULTS: Between November 2019 and August 2021, 60 patients were accrued, of which 55 were assessable for the study's objectives. Two patients experienced disease progression during treatment. Nineteen out of 55 eligible patients achieved a pCR (34.5%, 95% confidence interval 22.2% to 48.6%). Regarding toxicity related to durvalumab, grade 3 adverse events (AEs) occurred in four patients (7.3%) (diarrhea, skin toxicity, transaminase increase, lipase increase, and pancolitis). Grade 4 toxicity was not observed. In 20 patients (36.4%), grade 1-2 AEs related to durvalumab were observed. The most common were endocrine toxicity (hyper/hypothyroidism), dermatologic toxicity (skin rash), and gastrointestinal toxicity (transaminase increase, nausea, diarrhea, constipation). CONCLUSION: This study met its primary endpoint showing that CRT followed by durvalumab could increase pCR with a safe toxicity profile. This combination is a promising, feasible strategy worthy of further investigation.

RESUMO

We carried out a multicentric retrospective study on cetuximab + chemotherapy in pre-treated refractory patients outside clinical protocols, by registering the main clinical and pathological parameters. We evaluated 144 pre-treated patients. Cetuximab was administered usually in combination with irinotecan (93.8%). A 45% disease control rate (complete plus partial responses plus stable disease) was obtained in 55 patients and was related to absence of weight loss (p<0.0001) and high grade (> or =2) skin toxicity (p<0.0001). Median time to progression (TTP) was 4 months (95%CI 2.7-5.3) and median overall survival (OS) was 11.8 months (95%CI 8.5-15.1). Performance status << or =1, no weight loss and high grade (>or =22) skin toxicity were related both to a longer TTP (p=0.035, p=0.035, p=0.0017) and OS (p<0.0001, p<0.0001, p=0.006). According to multivariate analysis, the absence of weight loss was related to longer TTP (HR 0.331, p=0.004) and OS (HR 0.176, p<0.0001), and EGFR over-expression (3+) to longer TTP (HR 0.402, p=0.020).

RESUMO

The effectiveness of oxaliplatin and irinotecan in advanced colorectal cancer therapy has been shown by many randomized clinical trials. We developed a retrospective study on patients treated in the clinical practice. The main inclusion criteria were: diagnosis of unresectable colorectal adenocarcinoma and having undergone chemotherapy. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the prognostic factors of survival. The study included 286 consecutive patients. Three factors were associated with worse survival: high CA19-9 levels (p=0.003), schedules without new regimens (p=0.031) and weight loss (p=0.070). The use of new regimens was associated with a significant improvement in median survival (15 to 10 months, p<0.001). Although the new regimens improved survival in clinical practice, the median gain is smaller than that reported in randomized trials. The palliative intent of these therapies should not be forgotten in order to improve quality of life rather than absolute survival.
