Abstract
Peritoneal metastases (PM) are common in patients with colorectal cancer. Patients with PM have a poor prognosis, and for those who are not eligible for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), palliative chemotherapy is currently the only option. Recently, we conducted a phase I trial (INTERACT) in which irinotecan was administered intraperitoneally (IP) to 18 patients ineligible for CRS-HIPEC. The primary objective was to evaluate covariates influencing the PK profile of irinotecan and SN-38 after IP administration. Secondly, a population PK model was developed to support the further development of IP irinotecan by improving dosing in patients with PM. Patients were treated with IP irinotecan every 2 weeks in combination with systemic FOLFOX-bevacizumab. Irinotecan and SN-38 were measured in plasma (588 samples) and SN-38 was measured in peritoneal fluid (267 samples). Concentration-Time data were log-transformed and analyzed using NONMEM version 7.5 using FOCE+I estimation. An additive error model described the residual error, with inter-individual variability in PK parameters modeled exponentially. The final structural model consisted of five compartments. Weight was identified as a covariate influencing the SN-38 plasma volume of distribution and GGT was found to influence the SN-38 plasma clearance. This population PK model adequately described the irinotecan and SN-38 in plasma after IP administration, with weight and GGT as predictive factors. Irinotecan is converted intraperitoneal to SN-38 by carboxylesterases and the plasma bioavailability of irinotecan is low. This model will be used for the further clinical development of IP irinotecan by providing dosing strategies.

Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, lenvatinib plus programmed cell death protein-1 inhibitors: A promising treatment approach for high-burden hepatocellular carcinoma. Cancer Med 2024; 13:e7105. [PMID: 38686567 PMCID: PMC11058683 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) has demonstrated remarkable local therapeutic efficacy in treating patients with large unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Additionally, the combination of lenvatinib and programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitors has demonstrated promising antitumor effects in unresectable HCC. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining HAIC with lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitors as a first-line therapeutic approach in high-burden HCC patients. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis on patients diagnosed with high-burden HCC who had major portal vein tumor thrombosis (Vp3 and Vp4) or tumor occupancy exceeding 50% of the liver. These patients received a first-line treatment consisting of HAIC with a combination of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX), along with lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitors between November 2020 and June 2023. The primary endpoints of this study included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), while the secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). RESULTS Ninety-one patients were enrolled in this study, with a median PFS of 8.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.75-11.78) and a median OS of 14.3 months (95% CI: 11.23-17.31). According to RECIST 1.1 criteria, the ORR was 52.7%, and DCR was 95.6%. According to the mRECIST criteria, the ORR was 72.5%, and the DCR was 96.5%. Among all patients, 86 (94.5%) experienced TRAEs, and there were no instances of treatment-related deaths. CONCLUSION The combination of HAIC-FOLFOX with lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitors as a first-line therapy has exhibited notable therapeutic efficacy and well-tolerated adverse events among patients with high-burden HCC.

Abstract
In this research article, two multicopper [Cu3] and [Cu6] clusters, [Cu3(cpdp)(μ3-SO4)(Cl)(H2O)2]·3H2O (1) and [Cu6(cpdp)2(μ2-O)(Cl)2(H2O)4]·2Cl (2) (H3cpdp = N,N'-bis[2-carboxybenzomethyl]-N,N'-bis[2-pyridylmethyl]-1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol), have been explored as potent antibacterial and antibiofilm agents. Their molecular structures have been determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study, and the compositions have been established by thermal and elemental analyses, including electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Structural analysis shows that the metallic core of 1 is composed of a trinuclear [Cu3] assembly encapsulating a μ3-SO42- group, whereas the structure of 2 represents a hexanuclear [Cu6] assembly in which two trinuclear [Cu3] motifs are exclusively bridged by a linear μ2-O2- group. The most striking feature of the structure of 2 is the occurrence of an unusual linear oxido-bridge, with the Cu3-O6-Cu3' bridging angle being 180.00°. Whereas 1 can be viewed as an example of a copper(II)-based compound displaying a rare μ3:η1:η1:η1 bridging mode of the SO42- group, 2 is the first example of any copper(II)-based compound showing an unsupported linear Cu-O-Cu oxido-bridge. Employing variable-temperature SQUID magnetometry, the magnetic susceptibility data were measured and analyzed exemplarily for 1 in the temperature range of 2-300 K, revealing the occurrence of antiferromagnetic interactions among the paramagnetic copper centers. Both 1 and 2 exhibited potent antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA BAA1717) and the clinically isolated culture of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA CI1). The mechanism of antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of these multicopper clusters was investigated by analyzing and determining the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, lipid peroxidation, microscopic observation of cell membrane disruption, membrane potential, and leakage of cellular components. Additionally, 1 and 2 showed a synergistic effect with commercially available antibiotics such as vancomycin with enhanced antibacterial activity. However, 1 possesses higher antibacterial, antibiofilm, and antivirulence actions, making it a potent therapeutic agent against both MRSA BAA1717 and MRSA CI1 strains.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemoresistance is a critical factor contributing to poor prognosis in clinical patients with cancer undergoing postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The role of gut microbiota in mediating resistance to tumour chemotherapy remains to be investigated. METHODS Patients with CRC were categorised into clinical benefit responders (CBR) and no clinical benefit responders (NCB) based on chemotherapy efficacy. Differential bacterial analysis using 16S rRNA sequencing revealed Desulfovibrio as a distinct microbe between the two groups. Employing a syngeneic transplantation model, we assessed the effect of Desulfovibrio on chemotherapy by measuring tumour burden, weight, and Ki-67 expression. We further explored the mechanisms underlying the compromised chemotherapeutic efficacy of Desulfovibrio using metabolomics, western blotting, colony formation, and cell apoptosis assays. FINDINGS In comparison, Desulfovibrio was more abundant in the NCB group. In vivo experiments revealed that Desulfovibrio colonisation in the gut weakened the efficacy of FOLFOX. Treatment with Desulfovibrio desulfuricans elevates serum S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) levels. Interestingly, SAM reduced the sensitivity of CRC cells to FOLFOX, thereby promoting the growth of CRC tumours. These experiments suggest that SAM promotes the growth and metastasis of CRC by driving the expression of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3). INTERPRETATION A high abundance of Desulfovibrio in the intestines indicates poor therapeutic outcomes for postoperative neoadjuvant FOLFOX chemotherapy in CRC. Desulfovibrio drives the manifestation of METTL3 in CRC, promoting resistance to FOLFOX chemotherapy by increasing the concentration of SAM. FUNDING This study is supported by Wuxi City Social Development Science and Technology Demonstration Project (N20201005).

Abstract
FOLFOX regimen, composed of folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and oxaliplatin (OXP), has been used as clinical standard therapeutic regimen in treatments of colorectal cancer (CRC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). To further improve its therapeutic outcomes, FOLFOX was combined with anti-PD-1 antibody to form an advanced chemo-immune combination strategy, which has been proven more efficient in controlling cancer progression and prolonging patients' survival in various clinical trials. However, bad tumor accumulation, relative high toxicity, numerous treatment cycles with high fees and low compliance as well as drug resistance seriously limit the prognosis of FOLFOX regimen. The "all-in-one" formulations, which could precisely delivery multidrug regimen into tumor sites and cells, showed a promising application prospect for targeted drug delivery as well as reducing side effects. However, the design and preparation of the "all-in-one" formulation with high drug encapsulation efficiencies for all drugs was still challenging. Herein, a lipid core-shell nanoparticle codelivery platform was designed for simultaneous encapsulation of variant FOLFOX composed of miriplatin (MiPt), 5-Fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate (FdUMP), calcium folinate (CF) and PD-L1 siRNA (siPD-L1) with high efficiencies, and their synergistic anti-tumor mechanisms were studied, respectively. MiPt, a precursor of OXP, was validated capable of inducing efficient immunogenic cell death (ICD) in this work. Additionally, ICD-mediated release of damage associated molecular patterns functionalized synergistically with PD-L1 silence by siPD-L1 to overcome chemoresistance, reverse suppressive tumor microenvironment and recruit more CD8+ T cells. FdUMP, as the intracellular active form of 5-FU, could induce large amounts of reactive oxygen species to enhance the ICD. CF worked as the sensitizer of FdUMP. The enhanced long-term anti-tumor effect of the prepared "all-in-one" formulation compared to free drug regimen and other controls, was verified in heterotopic CRC mice models and ESCC mice models, providing new thoughts for researchers and showing a promising prospect of translation into clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with chemotherapy demonstrated promising efficacy and manageable safety in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This prospective, single-arm, phase 2 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy with camrelizumab plus paclitaxel and nedaplatin for 2-4 cycles in ESCC. METHODS Patients with locally advanced stage IIa-IIIb ESCC were enrolled in the study and received camrelizumab (200 mg), paclitaxel (155 mg/m 2 ), and nedaplatin (80 mg/m 2 ) intravenously on day one every 3 weeks. Patients underwent surgery after 2-4 cycles of treatment. The primary endpoint was the pathological complete response (pCR) rate. Secondary endpoints included the major pathological response (MPR) rate, R0 resection rate, tumor regression, objective response rate (ORR), and disease-free survival (DFS). Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in tumor tissues was measured and quantified using immunohistochemistry staining and combined positive score (CPS), respectively. RESULTS In total, 75 patients were enrolled and received neoadjuvant treatment. Of them, 45 (60%) received two cycles, 18 (24%) received three cycles, and 10 patients (13.3%) received four cycles of neoadjuvant therapy. Ultimately, 62 patients (82.7%) underwent surgery. The patients achieved a pCR of 27.4% (95% CI: 16.9-40.2), an MPR of 45.2% (95% CI: 33.1-59.2), and an ORR of 48.4% (95% CI: 35.5-61.4); all patients had an R0 resection. T and N downstaging occurred in 39 (62.9%) and 19 (30.6%) patients Moreover, patients with CPS ≥10 tended to have enhanced ORR, pCR, and MPR compared to those with CPS <10. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of grade 1-2 occurred in 59 (78.7%) patients, grade 3 TRAEs in four (5.3%), and one patient (1.3%) experienced a grade 4 TRAE. CONCLUSIONS Neoadjuvant camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy showed promising efficacy in locally advanced ESCC, with a manageable safety profile, when administered flexibly in two to four cycles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Chemotherapy and immunotherapy have been recently developed as potentially useful first-line treatments for unresectable, advanced, or recurrent esophageal cancer. We performed a retrospective study of the therapeutic effectiveness of triplet chemotherapy with docetaxel, nedaplatin, and 5-fluorouracil therapy for advanced, recurrent, and unresectable advanced esophageal cancer at our hospital and compared the regimen's results with those of current and possible future treatment options. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study cohort comprised 101 patients who received docetaxel, nedaplatin, and 5-fluorouracil for advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer at Gunma University from May 2008 to December 2017. We retrospectively evaluated the results of this combination chemotherapy and postulated future treatment strategies. RESULTS The overall response and disease control rates, the latter including stable disease, for docetaxel, nedaplatin, and 5-fluorouracil were 33.6% and 61.4%, respectively. The median overall survival and progression-free survival were 12.26 months and 5.1 months, respectively. In patients with recurrence, the median overall and progression-free survivals were 14.97 months (449 days) and 5.1 months (152 days), respectively. No study patients developed acute kidney injury and there were no treatment-related deaths. However, leukopenia and neutropenia were frequent hematologic toxicities. CONCLUSION Treatment with docetaxel, nedaplatin, and 5-fluorouracil for advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer is particularly useful for recurrent cases and has the advantage of not causing severe renal dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is still controversial, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy is a hot topic of current research. We investigated the recent efficacy and surgical safety of patients with III-IVA esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after neoadjuvant regimen of paclitaxel + cisplatin/nedaplatin/carboplatin + sindilizumab, to provide a theoretical basis for evaluating the feasibility of surgery after neoadjuvant therapy. METHODS The clinical data of patients with stage III-IVA esophageal squamous cell carcinoma admitted from January 2022 to April 2023 at our hospital were collected for retrospective analysis. The patients were divided into the neoadjuvant combination surgery group (34 patients with the regimen of paclitaxel + cisplatin/nedaplatin/carboplatin + sintilimab two/three cycles of preoperative neoadjuvant therapy) and surgery-only group (36 patients). Statistical analysis was performed to compare the differences between both groups particularly for intraoperative bleeding, operative time, incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, laryngeal recurrent nerve injury, thoracic duct injury, anastomotic fistula, and postoperative hospital days. Additionally, the pCR/MPR rates of the neoadjuvant group were analysed. RESULTS Significant differences were present in the clinical and pathological staging before and after neoadjuvant treatment (P ≤ 0.001). The neoadjuvant group had a pCR rate of 26.47% and an ORR rate of 88.23%. No significant differences were discovered in R0 resection rate between both groups, as well as intraoperative bleeding, operative time, intraoperative laryngeal recurrent nerve injury rate, thoracic duct injury rate, postoperative anastomosis incidence, postoperative hospital days, and postoperative lung infection incidence (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The neoadjuvant immune combination chemotherapy regimen had considerable tumor regression and pathological remission benefits, without reducing the safety of surgery, possibly presenting as a new treatment plan.

Abstract
Drought stress is one of the most unfavorable factors affecting plant growth and productivity among various environmental stresses. Nanotechnology is expected to enhance the effectiveness of conventional biostimulants. Herein, the current study constructed an efficient proline (Pro) nanodelivery system based on a star polyamine (SPc). The hydroxyl groups of Pro could assemble with carbonyl groups of SPc, and the self-assembly of Pro with SPc formed the nanoscale particles of the Pro/SPc complex. Compared to Pro alone, the contact angle of SPc-loaded Pro decreased, and its retentivity and plant uptake increased. Importantly, the tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) seeds and seedlings treated with Pro/SPc complex exhibited stronger drought tolerance. RNA-Seq analysis indicated that the SPc-loaded Pro could further upregulate photosynthesis-related genes and endocytosis-related genes. The current study constructed an efficient nanodelivery system for improving the bioactivity of biostimulants, which has broad application prospects in the agricultural field.

Abstract
We investigated the safety and efficacy of UDON(5-FU, docetaxel and nedaplatin), a similar DCF therapy, as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer. Twelve patients who underwent radical esophagectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for esophageal cancer at our department from June 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. One patient had Grade Ⅲ or higher neutropenia(8%)and 2 patients had anorexia(15%)as adverse events, but they could be safely treated. Nutritional status and ADL were maintained in all patients, and surgery was performed after 2-3 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The median postoperative hospital stay was 14 days, and no severe postoperative complications were observed. The histological effect to chemotherapy was Grade 3 in 3 patients(23%). UDON therapy is a safe and effective treatment.

Abstract
Platinum(IV) prodrugs are highly interesting alternatives to platinum(II) anticancer therapeutics due to their increased tumor selectivity and reduced side effects. In contrast to the established theory, we recently observed that the equatorial ligand(s) of e.g. oxaliplatin(IV) complexes can be hydrolyzed with formation of [(DACH)Pt(OHeq )2 (OAcax )2 ]. In the work presented here, we investigated the reactivity and synthetic usability of this complex to be exploited as a precursor for the development of novel platinum(IV) complexes, not able to be synthesized by conventional protocols. Indeed, we could substitute the equatorial hydroxido ligand(s) e.g. by one or two monodentate biotin ligands (which would be oxidized under standard methods). The formed complexes turned out to be very stable with slow ligand release after reduction, ideal for long-circulating tumor-targeting strategies. Therefore, two platinum(IV) complexes with equatorial maleimides, capable of exploiting serum albumin as a natural nanocarrier, were synthesized as well. The complexes showed massively prolonged plasma half-life and distinctly improved anticancer activity in vivo compared to oxaliplatin. Taken together, the newly developed synthetic platform allows the simple and specific insertion of equatorial ligands into platinum(IV) complexes. This will enable the attachment of three different (bioactive) moieties generating targeted triple-action platinum(IV) prodrugs within one single platinum complex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) is a common and dose-limiting toxicity that markedly limits the use of oxaliplatin and affects quality of life. Statins have been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in preclinical settings. The aim of the present study was to clarify whether statins prevented OIPN in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) receiving adjuvant CAPOX therapy. METHODS We examined 224 patients who received adjuvant CAPOX therapy for CRC between July 2010 and December 2021 at our hospital. Patients were divided into "Statin" and "Non-statin" groups based on statin use. Details on and the adverse events of adjuvant CAPOX therapy were examined in association with statin use. RESULTS Thirty-one patients (14%) were treated with statins. There were no intergroup differences in the relative dose intensity or number of CAPOX cycles between the Statin and Non-statin groups. In total, 94% of patients in the Statin group and 95% of those in the Non-statin group developed OIPN (p=0.67). The severity of OIPN was similar between the two groups (p=0.89). The frequency of treatment delays in CAPOX did not significantly differ between the Statin and Non-statin groups (16% vs. 11%, p=0.45). CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of statins to attenuate OIPN during adjuvant CAPOX therapy was not apparent in the current study. Further studies are needed to confirm the present results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lobaplatin is a new platinum-based cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agent. Endostar is an endogenous angiogenic inhibitor with implicated anti-tumor activity. This study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of thoracic perfusion of lobaplatin combined with endostar in the treatment of malignant pleural effusions (MPE). METHODS We searched the databases of Pubmed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, WanFang Data, and CNKI to select the studies regarding the efficacy and safety of lobaplatin combined with endostar to treat MPE. A total of 10[3-12] randomized controlled trials with 651 patients were included. RESULTS The objective response rate (P < .001, odds ratio = 4.08) and disease control rate (P < .001, odds ratio = 3.69) of lobaplatin combined with endostar were significantly higher than lobaplatin alone. In addition, lobaplatin combined with endostar remarkably promoted the quality of life of patients (P < .001, odds ratio = 3.93) compared with lobaplatin alone. Lobaplatin combined with endostar also promoted the quality of life of patients (P < .05, odds ratio = 2.56) compared with cisplatin combined with endostar. At the same time, the leukopenia rate (P < .05, odds ratio = .40) and the incidence of nausea and vomiting (P < .05, odds ratio = .38) of lobaplatin combined with endostar were significantly lower than that of cisplatin combined with endostar. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of lobaplatin combined with endostar was superior to lobaplatin alone. The safety was higher than cisplatin combined with endostar through thoracic perfusion in treating MPE, which indicated that lobaplatin combined with endostar could be the effective agent for controlling MPE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ability to detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), a novel surrogate for minimal residual disease (MRD) for patients with solid tumors, has significantly evolved over the past decade. Several studies have shown that ctDNA may provide clinical insight into the biological dynamics of MRD. The CIRCULATE-US (NRG-GI008; NCT05174169) trial will aim to address the role of ctDNA for risk stratification to intensify and deintensify adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with early-stage colon cancer. METHODS CIRCULATE-US, a prospective phase 2/3 randomized trial, is investigating the molecular dynamics and prognostic role of ctDNA (evaluated by Natera's Signatera assay) for patients with resected colon cancer. Patients with negative postoperative ctDNA will be enrolled in cohort A and randomized to receive either immediate treatment with 5-fluorouracil and folinic acid or capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (FOLFOX6 or CAPEOX; Arm 1) or serial ctDNA surveillance with delayed adjuvant therapy (Arm 2). Patients randomized to Arm 2 with subsequent positive ctDNA results will be enrolled in cohort B for a second randomization to receive either FOLFOX6/CAPEOX (Arm 3) or 5-fluorouracil, folinic acid, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRINOX; Arm 4) for 6 months. Patients with positive postoperative ctDNA results will be directly enrolled in cohort B and randomized to receive either FOLFOX6/CAPEOX (Arm 3) or FOLFIRINOX (Arm 4). Patients with stage II or stage IIIC colon cancer with positive ctDNA results (tested as standard of care with commercial testing) will be eligible for enrollment in cohort B. The primary end point for cohort A is time to positive ctDNA status for phase 2 and disease-free survival for phase 3 with a noninferiority design. The primary end point for cohort B is disease-free survival for both phase 2 and phase 3 with a superiority design. DISCUSSION CIRCULATE-US will aim to understand postoperative ctDNA dynamics in early-stage colon cancer and will investigate escalation and de-escalation approaches by using ctDNA status as a surrogate for MRD status.

Cancer Trial Impact: Understanding Implementation of the Short Course Oncology Treatment (SCOT) Trial Findings in colorectal cancer at a National Level. Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol) 2022; 34:554-560. [PMID: 35370039 DOI: 10.1016/j.clon.2022.03.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The Short Course Oncology Treatment (SCOT) trial indicated that 3 months of adjuvant doublet chemotherapy was non-inferior to 6 months of treatment for patients with colorectal cancer, with considerably less toxicity. The SCOT trial results were disseminated in June 2017. The aim of this study was to understand if SCOT trial findings were implemented in Scotland. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was carried out on a dataset derived from a source population of 5.4 million people. Eligible patients were those with stage II or III colorectal cancer who received adjuvant chemotherapy. Logistic regression was applied to understand the extent of practice change to a 3-month adjuvant chemotherapy duration after the SCOT trial results were disseminated. Interrupted time series analysis was used to visualise differences in prescribing trends before and after June 2017 for the overall cohort, and by SCOT trial eligibility. RESULTS In total, 2310 patients were included in the study; 1957 and 353 treated pre- and post-June 2017, respectively. The median treatment duration decreased from 21 weeks (interquartile range 14-24) prior to June 2017 to 12 weeks (interquartile range 12-21 weeks) after June 2017 (P < 0.001). The proportion of patients receiving over 3 months of adjuvant treatment decreased from 75% to 42% (P < 0.001). This change was most noticeable for patients who met the SCOT trial eligibility criteria, and specifically for those with low-risk stage III disease and those treated with capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX). Although practice change occurred in all locations, there were differences between regions that could be explained by pre-SCOT trial prescribing trends. DISCUSSION A significant change in chemotherapy prescribing occurred after dissemination of the SCOT trial results. National, real-world data can be used to capture the extent of implementation of clinical trial results. In this case, implementation was aligned with clinical trial subgroup findings. This type of analysis could be conducted to evaluate the impact of other clinical trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate response rate, toxicity, and efficacy of the novel combination of nab-paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin [FOLFOX-A] in patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [PDAC]. METHODS BrUOG-292 and BrUOG-318 were two concurrently run, prospective, single-arm phase II studies evaluating FOLFOX-A as first-line therapy in patients with metastatic and locally advanced/borderline resectable PDAC respectively. The FOLFOX-A regimen consisted of 5-fluorouracil, 1200 mg/m 2 /d as a continuous intravenous (IV) infusion over 46 hours, leucovorin 400 mg/m 2 IV, oxaliplatin 85 mg/m 2 IV, and nab-paclitaxel 150 mg/m 2 IV on day 1 every 14 days up to a maximum of 12 cycles. Patients with locally advanced or borderline resectable disease were permitted to stop treatment after 6 cycles and receive radiation therapy and/or surgical exploration if feasible. The primary end point was overall response rate [ORR]. Secondary end points were median progression-free survival [PFS], median overall survival [OS], and safety. RESULTS Seventy-eight patients with previously untreated PDAC were enrolled between June 2014 and November 2019; 76 patients were evaluable. The median follow-up was 40 months and 32 months, respectively. overall response rate was 34%. Among the patients enrolled on BrUOG-292 [48 patients], the PFS was 5 months and OS was 11 months, respectively. For those enrolled on BrUOG 318 [28 patients], the PFS was 11 months and OS was 22 months. Treatment-related toxicities included grade 3 fatigue [40%], diarrhea [14%], and neuropathy [2%]. CONCLUSIONS The combination of FOLFOX-A has promising activity in PDAC and may represent an alternative to FOLFIRINOX when reduction of gastrointestinal toxicity is required.

Evaluation of clinical validity of an S-1 dosage formula based on renal function using data of the SPIRITS and the G-SOX trials. Gastric Cancer 2022; 25:770-782. [PMID: 35357635 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-022-01291-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical validity of the S-1 dosage formula based on body surface area (BSA) and creatinine clearance (CLcr) to achieve the target area under the concentration-time curve of 5-FU, which we had developed and refined in each prospective pharmacokinetic study. METHODS The recommended dose determined by the refined formula was assessed using data of the SPIRITS (S-1 vs. S-1 plus cisplatin [SP]) and the G-SOX (SP vs. S-1 plus oxaliplatin [SOX]) trials. Nine hundred and thirty-eight patients in these trials were classified into three groups according to their actual S-1 starting doses compared with the recommended doses (under-dosed, <recommended dose; equal-dosed, =recommended dose; over-dosed, >recommended dose). RESULTS The patients in the under-dosed group in both trials showed similar tendencies: male, younger, higher BSA, and higher CLcr. The incidence of any grade neutropenia was significantly greater in the over-dosed group compared with the equal-dosed group in the S-1 and the SOX arms. The hazard ratios (HR) of overall survival (OS) (under-dosed vs. equal-dosed) were 1.361 (S-1 arm), 1.259 (SP arm) in the SPIRITS trial, and 1.381 (SOX arm), 0.999 (SP arm) in the G-SOX trial. Multivariate analysis in all the patients demonstrated that OS of the over-dosed group was equivalent (HR 1.002, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.850-1.182, p = 0.980) and that of the under-dosed group was inferior (HR 1.267, 95% CI 1.005-1.597, p = 0.045) to the equal-dosed group. CONCLUSIONS It is suggested that the refined S-1 dosage formula can recommend optimal dose in terms of safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Introduction Evidence is lacking on second-line and later treatments for patients with RAS wild-type colorectal cancer (CRC) who receive first-line anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody therapy. In this study, we explored the real-world treatment sequences, treatment duration, and factors associated with treatment sequences and durations in Japanese patients with CRC. Methods This retrospective observational cohort study used a Japanese administrative claims database (April 2008 to July 2021). Patients with confirmed CRC (presumed RAS wild-type) who received first-line FOLFOX (leucovorin + 5-fluorouracil + oxaliplatin) plus anti-EGFR therapy in or after May 2016, followed by second-line irinotecan-based chemotherapy plus an antiangiogenic drug, were included. Treatment durations were estimated by the Kaplan–Meier method. Cox regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with treatment duration. Results Analysis populations consisted of 1163 (first-line and second-line) and 645 (third-line) patients. At the start of first-line therapy, 67.8% of patients were male, the mean age was 64 years, 83.4% had left-sided CRC, and 84.3% were prescribed FOLFOX plus panitumumab. For second-line therapy, patients were prescribed bevacizumab (63%), ramucirumab (27%), or aflibercept beta (10%). Median (95% CI) treatment durations from the start of second-line therapy to the end of antitumor drug therapies were similar for bevacizumab (12.5 months [11.2, 14.0]), ramucirumab (12.5 months [11.2, 14.8]), and aflibercept beta (14.0 months [10.4, 17.0]). Treatment duration from second-line was positively associated with first-line treatment duration of 6 months or more, CRC surgery before starting first-line therapy, and liver surgery during first-line therapy, and was negatively associated with use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs before second-line therapy. Conclusion Real-world data revealed that all three antiangiogenic drugs were used as second-line therapy after first-line anti-EGFR antibodies and showed similar treatment durations.

Abstract
We report the use of combination chemotherapy of gemcitabine (800 mg/m² on day1 and 8) and nedaplatin (60 mg/m² on day 1), including neoadjuvant therapy in four cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary tract. In each case, the dose was reduced after assessing the performance status and renal function of the patient. Among the four cases, the best overall outcome was complete response in one case, partial response in two cases, and stable disease in one case. The main adverse event observed was thrombocytopenia; however, no serious adverse events were observed, and this regimen was safely administered. Therefore, we believe that this regimen could be an effective treatment option for progressive squamous cell carcinoma originating from the urinary tract.

Abstract
Thyroid hormone receptor interactor 13 (TRIP13) plays a crucial role in poor prognosis and chemotherapy resistance of cancer patients. This present study is aimed at investigating the role of high expression of TRIP13 inducing nedaplatin (NDP) resistance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells. High expression of TRIP13 promoted the proliferation and migration of ESCC cells performed by MTS assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assay, and transwell assay. High TRIP13 expression induced NDP resistance to ESCC based on the cell proliferation promoting/inhibition rate and cell migration promoting/inhibition rate analysis, flow cytometry assay of apoptotic subpopulations with a combination of Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide, and Western blot analysis downregulating cleaved PARP, γH2A.X, cleaved caspase-3, and Bax and upregulating Bcl-2 expression. This study indicated that high expression of TRIP13 promoted proliferation and migration of ESCC cells and induced NDP resistance via enhancing repair of DNA damage and inhibiting apoptosis. This will provide a preliminary reference for the clinical use of NDP in ESCC treatment.

Abstract
A woman in her 30s visited our hospital complaining primarily of melena. Colonoscopy revealed the presence of a type 1 tumor in 2 cm from anal verge. Contrast-enhanced CT showed an unresectable massive liver metastasis in the left lobe of the liver and another metastasis in the right lobe. The patient received front-line chemotherapy with Leucovorin, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan(FOLFOXIRI)plus bevacizumab(BEV). A year later, a marked reduction of liver metastases and primary lesions was confirmed by CT scan imaging. A multidisciplinary team recommended resection of the liver metastases followed by laparoscopic intersphincteric resection for primary lesions. However, after 1 year, a recurrence was diagnosed in the liver; hence, FOLFOXIRI plus BEV was reintroduced for volume reduction. The patient underwent a repeat hepatectomy since enough volume reduction was confirmed. One year later, she experienced a re-relapse of the metastasis in the liver. Currently, she is still undergoing chemotherapy following 7 years since the first visit. Long-term survival can be expected following surgical treatment during chemotherapy.

Abstract
The PtIV prodrug iproplatin has been actively loaded into liposomes using a calcium acetate gradient, achieving a 3-fold enhancement in drug concentration compared to passive loading strategies. A strain-promoted cycloaddition reaction (azide- dibenzocyclooctyne) was used to attach iproplatin-loaded liposomes L(Pt) to gas-filled microbubbles (M), forming an ultrasound-responsive drug delivery vehicle [M-L(Pt)]. Ultrasound-triggered release of iproplatin from the microbubble-liposome construct was evaluated in cellulo. Breast cancer (MCF-7) cells treated with both free iproplatin and iproplatin-loaded liposome-microbubbles [M-L(Pt)] demonstrated an increase in platinum concentration when exposed to ultrasound. No appreciable platinum uptake was observed in MCF-7 cells following treatment with L(Pt) only or L(Pt)+ultrasound, suggesting that microbubble-mediated ultrasonic release of platinum-based drugs from liposomal carriers enables greater control over drug delivery.

Abstract
Although the current standard of care for patients with lower rectal cancer in Japan includes total mesorectal resection with lateral lymph node dissection, postoperative local and distant recurrence rates are high. Multidisciplinary treatment is important to improve the prognosis. A man in his 30s was diagnosed with lower rectal cancer due to bloody stool and referred to our department. He was diagnosed as cT3N3M0, cStage Ⅲc with right obturator lymph node metastasis. Four courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC)with FOLFOXIRI plus cetuximab were performed. Because Grade 3 neutropenia was observed in the first cycle(CTCAE v5.0), pegfilgrastim was administered in the second and subsequent cycles, and NAC was completed without dose reduction. The patient underwent laparoscopy-assisted intersphincteric rectal resection and D3+rtLD2 dissection. Histopathological resection margins were negative, and the resection was R0. Lymph node metastasis was found only in No. 263d-rt, and the pathological diagnosis was ypT3N3M0, pStage Ⅲc. Histological evaluation of response to treatment was Grade 2. The postoperative course was good and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 15. The patient received 8 courses of adjuvant chemotherapy with mFOLFOX6 from the 7th postoperative week and is alive and recurrence-free 6 months after surgery.

Abstract
The use of chemotherapy combined with photothermal therapy (PTT) is getting a focus topic for cancer treatment. Duing this research, the double targeting drug delivery system of nedaplatin (NDP)-carboxyl-functionalized magnetic mesoporous silica (MMSN-COOH)-galactosylated chitosan (GC) nanoparticles (NPs) was constructed. Because MMSNs have special physical properties, it can target to the specific area. In addition, it's able to convert absorbed near-infrared (NIR) light into heat energy for photothermal therapy (PTT). Furthermore, the thermal energy generated by MMSNs under NIR lasers can accelerate the release of drug from preparations. Moreover, GC modified MMSNs-COOH as a carrier can increase the drug uptake of cancer cells that highly express galectins in vitro, resulting in cancer cell apoptosis, and thus increasing the targeting of cancerous tissue in vivo. The experimental consequences in vitro and in vivo revealed that the NDP@MMSNCOOH-GC NPs combined with PTT could avoid systemic toxicity and improve biosecurity while having good anticancer effect.
