Abstract
Aim: The objective of this study was to compare adverse event (AE) management costs for fruquintinib, regorafenib, trifluridine/tipiracil (T/T) and trifluridine/tipiracil+bevacizumab (T/T+bev) for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) previously treated with at least two prior lines of therapy from the US commercial and Medicare payer perspectives. Materials & methods: A cost-consequence model was developed to calculate the per-patient and per-patient-per-month (PPPM) AE costs using rates of grade 3/4 AEs with incidence ≥5% in clinical trials, event-specific management costs and duration treatment. Anchored comparisons of AE costs were calculated using a difference-in-differences approach with best supportive care (BSC) as a common reference. AE rates and treatment duration were obtained from clinical trials: FRESCO and FRESCO-2 (fruquintinib), RECOURSE (T/T), CORRECT (regorafenib) and SUNLIGHT (T/T, T/T+bev). AE management costs for the commercial and Medicare perspectives were obtained from publicly available sources. Results: From the commercial perspective, the AE costs (presented as per-patient, PPPM) were: $4015, $1091 for fruquintinib (FRESCO); $4253, $1390 for fruquintinib (FRESCO-2); $17,110, $11,104 for T/T (RECOURSE); $9851, $4691 for T/T (SUNLIGHT); $8199, $4823 for regorafenib; and $11,620, $2324 for T/T+bev. These results were consistent in anchored comparisons: the difference-in-difference for fruquintinib based on FRESCO was -$1929 versus regorafenib and -$11,427 versus T/T; for fruquintinib based on FRESCO-2 was -$2257 versus regorafenib and -$11,756 versus T/T. Across all analyses, results were consistent from the Medicare perspective. Conclusion: Fruquintinib was associated with lower AE management costs compared with regorafenib, T/T and T/T+bev for patients with previously treated mCRC. This evidence has direct implications for treatment, formulary and pathways decision-making in this patient population.

Abstract
The resistance of colorectal cancer (CRC) to conventional therapeutic modalities, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy, along with the associated side effects, significantly limits effective anticancer strategies. Numerous epigenetic investigations have unveiled that naturally occurring stilbenes can modify or reverse abnormal epigenetic alterations, particularly aberrant DNA methylation status, offering potential avenues for preventing or treating CRC. By modulating the activity of the DNA methylation machinery components, phytochemicals may influence the various stages of CRC carcinogenesis through multiple molecular mechanisms. Several epigenetic studies, especially preclinical research, have highlighted the effective DNA methylation modulatory effects of stilbenes with minimal adverse effects on organisms, particularly in combination therapies for CRC. However, the available preclinical and clinical data regarding the effects of commonly encountered stilbenes against CRC are currently limited. Therefore, additional epigenetic research is warranted to explore the preventive potential of these phytochemicals in CRC development and to validate their therapeutic application in the prevention and treatment of CRC. This review aims to provide an overview of selected bioactive stilbenes as potential chemopreventive agents for CRC with a focus on their modulatory mechanisms of action, especially in targeting alterations in DNA methylation machinery in CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ketone β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) has been reported to prevent tumor cell proliferation and improve drug resistance. However, the effectiveness of BHB in oxaliplatin (Oxa)-resistant colorectal cancer (CRC) and the underlying mechanism still require further proof. METHODS CRC-Oxa-resistant strains were established by increasing concentrations of CRC cells to Oxa. CRC-Oxa cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were checked following BHB intervention in vitro. The subcutaneous and metastasis models were established to assess the effects of BHB on the growth and metastasis of CRC-Oxa in vivo. Eight Oxa responders and seven nonresponders with CRC were enrolled in the study. Then, the serum BHB level and H3K79me, H3K27ac, H3K14ac, and H3K9me levels in tissues were detected. DOT1L (H3K79me methyltransferase) gene knockdown or GNE-049 (H3K27ac inhibitor) use was applied to analyze further whether BHB reversed CRC-Oxa resistance via H3K79 demethylation and/or H3K27 deacetylation in vivo and in vitro. RESULTS Following BHB intervention based on Oxa, the proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT of CRC-Oxa cells and the growth and metastasis of transplanted tumors in mice were suppressed. Clinical analysis revealed that the differential change in BHB level was associated with drug resistance and was decreased in drug-resistant patient serum. The H3K79me, H3K27ac, and H3K14ac expressions in CRC were negatively correlated with BHB. Furthermore, results indicated that H3K79me inhibition may lead to BHB target deletion, resulting in its inability to function. CONCLUSIONS β-hydroxybutyrate resensitized CRC cells to Oxa by suppressing H3K79 methylation in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunotherapy have demonstrated promising outcomes in patients with high microsatellite instability (MSI) (MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer. However, the comparative effectiveness of Immunotherapy and chemotherapy for patients with low MSI (MSI-L), and microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer remains unclear. AIM To investigate immunotherapy vs chemotherapy for treatment of MSI-L/MSS metastatic colorectal cancer, and to evaluate the success of immunotherapy against chemotherapy in managing MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer during a follow-up of 50 months. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to evaluate the overall survival (OS) of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with immunotherapy or chemotherapy. The study population was stratified by MSI status (MSI-H, MSI-L, and MSS). Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between treatment modality and OS, adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS A total of 21951 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer were included in the analysis, of which 2358 were MSI-H, and 19593 were MSI-L/MSS. In the MSI-H cohort, immunotherapy treatment (n = 142) was associated with a significantly improved median OS compared to chemotherapy (n = 860). After adjusting for potential confounders, immunotherapy treatment remained significantly associated with better OS in the MSI-H cohort [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 0.57, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 0.43-0.77, P < 0.001]. In the MSS cohort, no significant difference in median OS was observed between immunotherapy treatment and chemotherapy (aHR: 0.94, 95%CI: 0.69-1.29, P = 0.715). CONCLUSION In this population-based study using the NCDB, immunotherapy treatment was associated with significantly improved OS compared to chemotherapy in patients with MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer, but not in those with MSI-L/MSS metastatic colorectal cancer. Further studies are warranted to determine the optimal therapeutic approach for patients with MSI-L/MSS metastatic colorectal cancer.

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
Stage IV colorectal cancer is a prevalent disease and understanding the appropriate treatment options is important. Medical oncologic treatment remains the mainstay of treatment in cases where curative resection is not possible. Surgical intervention is indicated if the primary tumor and associated metastases are amenable to curative resection or if obstructive, bleeding, or perforative complications arise from the tumor. New endoscopic techniques can provide palliation and benefit for patients who cannot undergo surgery and may speed time to chemotherapy initiation. Recently, immunotherapy has shown promise at managing, controlling, and regressing advanced disease, in some cases converting it to curative with resection. For patients that progress while on treatment, continued medical therapy remains the mainstay of treatment. Further research into the benefits of asymptomatic primary tumor resection without curative intent needs to be performed. Colorectal cancer, and more specifically metastatic colorectal cancer, continues to have improved 1- and 5-year survival rates and likely will continue to do so over the coming months and years.

Abstract
AIM Stage III colon cancer is routinely treated with adjuvant chemotherapy, which causes significant short-term morbidity. Its effect on long-term quality of life (QoL) is poorly investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate long-term QoL after curative treatment for colon cancer and explore the impact of chemotherapy on general and disease-specific QoL. METHOD All patients aged under 75 years operated on for colon cancer between 30 September 2007 and 1 October 2019 were identified by the Cancer Registry of Norway. Exclusion criteria were distant metastasis, recurrence, dementia and rectal/rectosigmoid cancer operation. The primary outcome measure was Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI). Secondary outcome measures included the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). To achieve balanced groups when assessing differences in outcome measures the analyses were weighted by inverse probability weights based on a multiple logistic regression model with prechosen confounders. RESULTS A total of 8627 patients were invited and 3109 responded (36% response rate). After exclusions 3025 patients were included, of whom 1148 (38%) had received adjuvant chemotherapy and 1877 (62%) had surgery alone, with mean follow-up of 75.5 versus 74.5 months, respectively. The GIQLI differed significantly between the groups [mean 111.0 (SD 18.4) vs. 115.6 (SD 17.8), respectively; mean difference: -4.6 (95% CI -5.9; -3.2); p < 0.001]. Those with the highest neurotoxicity exhibited the lowest GIQLI. The adjuvant chemotherapy group scored significantly lower in six of eight SF-36 domains compared with the surgery alone group. The main differences were found in social, physical and emotional function. CONCLUSION Long-term QoL was significantly lower in patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy than in patients who did not. Neurotoxicity was closely related to reduced QoL in these patients. The low response rate limits the generalizability of the results.

Abstract
The exposome refers to all of the internal and external life-long exposures that an individual experiences. These exposures, either acute or chronic, are associated with changes in metabolism that will positively or negatively influence the health and well-being of individuals. Nutrients and other dietary compounds modulate similar biochemical processes and have the potential in some cases to counteract the negative effects of exposures or enhance their beneficial effects. We present herein the concept of Nutritional Pharmacology/Toxicology which uses high-information metabolomics workflows to identify metabolic targets associated with exposures. Using this information, nutritional interventions can be designed toward those targets to mitigate adverse effects or enhance positive effects. We also discuss the potential for this approach in precision nutrition where nutrients/diet can be used to target gene-environment interactions and other subpopulation characteristics. Deriving these "nutrient cocktails" presents an opportunity to modify the effects of exposures for more beneficial outcomes in public health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases who are not eligible for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) owing to extensive peritoneal disease have a poor prognosis. It was hypothesized that these patients may benefit from the addition of intraperitoneal irinotecan to standard palliative systemic chemotherapy. METHODS This was a classical 3 + 3 phase I dose-escalation trial in patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases who were not eligible for CRS-HIPEC. Intraperitoneal irinotecan was administered every 2 weeks, concomitantly with systemic FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil, folinic acid, oxaliplatin)-bevacizumab. The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities. Secondary objectives were to elucidate the systemic and intraperitoneal pharmacokinetics, safety profile, and efficacy. RESULTS Eighteen patients were treated. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed with 50 mg (4 patients) and 75 mg (9 patients) intraperitoneal irinotecan. Two dose-limiting toxicities occurred with 100 mg irinotecan among five patients. The maximum tolerated dose of intraperitoneal irinotecan was established to be 75 mg, and it was well tolerated. Intraperitoneal exposure to SN-38 (active metabolite of irinotecan) was high compared with systemic exposure (median intraperitoneal area under the curve (AUC) to systemic AUC ratio 4.6). Thirteen patients had a partial radiological response and five had stable disease. Four patients showed a complete response during post-treatment diagnostic laparoscopy. Five patients underwent salvage resection or CRS-HIPEC. Median overall survival was 23.9 months. CONCLUSION Administration of 75 mg intraperitoneal irinotecan concomitantly with systemic FOLFOX-bevacizumab was safe and well tolerated. Intraperitoneal SN-38 exposure was high and prolonged. As oncological outcomes were promising, intraperitoneal administration of irinotecan may be a good alternative to other, more invasive and costly treatment options. A phase II study is currently accruing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Oxaliplatin is a third-generation platinum-based antineoplastic drug that is widely used to treat patients with colorectal cancer. Reported adverse reactions include hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome and liver fibrosis, but there are few reports of cirrhosis associated with chemotherapy. In addition, the pathogenesis of cirrhosis remains unclear. CASE REPORT We report a case of suspected oxaliplatin-induced liver cirrhosis, an adverse reaction that has not been previously reported. MANAGEMENT AND OUTCOME A 50-year-old Chinese man was diagnosed with rectal cancer and underwent laparoscopic radical rectal cancer surgery. The patient had a history of schistosomiasis, but history and serology showed no evidence of chronic liver disease. However, after five oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy cycles, the patient presented dramatic changes in liver morphology and developed splenomegaly, massive ascites, and elevated CA125 levels. Four months after discontinuing oxaliplatin, the patient's ascites had decreased significantly and CA125 levels declined from 505.3 to 124.6 mU/mL. After 15 weeks of follow-up, CA125 levels decreased to the normal range, and there has been no increase in ascites in this patient. DISCUSSION Oxaliplatin-induced cirrhosis may be a serious complication and should be discontinued based on clinical evidence.

Abstract
Objectives: To explore the utilization, barriers, and factors associated with the targeted treatment of Chinese metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. Methods: A total of 1,688 mCRC patients from 19 hospitals in 14 cities were enrolled from March 2020 to March 2021 using stratified, multistage cluster sampling. The use of targeted therapy and any barriers patients experienced were collected. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the factors associated with initiating targeted treatment. Results: About 51.6% of the patients initiated targeted therapy, of whom 44.5%, 20.2%, and 35.2% started first-, second-, and third-line treatment, respectively. The most reported barriers were high medical costs and a lack of belief in the efficacy of targeted therapy. Patients treated in the general hospital, diagnosed at an older age, less educated, and who had a lower family income, no medical insurance, poor health-related quality of life, metastasis outside the liver/lung or systemic metastasis, a shorter duration of mCRC were less likely to initiate targeted therapy. Conclusion: Reduced medical costs and interventional education to improve public awareness could facilitate the use of targeted treatment for mCRC.

Abstract
(1) Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Up to 50% of patients with CRC develop metastatic CRC (mCRC). Surgical and systemic therapy advances can now offer significant survival advantages. Understanding the evolving treatment options is essential for decreasing mCRC mortality. We aim to summarize current evidence and guidelines regarding the management of mCRC to provide utility when making a treatment plan for the heterogenous spectrum of mCRC. (2) Methods: A comprehensive literature search of PubMed and current guidelines written by major cancer and surgical societies were reviewed. The references of the included studies were screened to identify additional studies that were incorporated as appropriate. (3) Results: The standard of care for mCRC primarily consists of surgical resection and systemic therapy. Complete resection of liver, lung, and peritoneal metastases is associated with better disease control and survival. Systemic therapy now includes chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy options that can be tailored by molecular profiling. Differences between colon and rectal metastasis management exist between major guidelines. (4) Conclusions: With the advances in surgical and systemic therapy, as well as a better understanding of tumor biology and the importance of molecular profiling, more patients can anticipate prolonged survival. We provide a summary of available evidence for the management of mCRC, highlighting the similarities and presenting the difference in available literature. Ultimately, a multidisciplinary evaluation of patients with mCRC is crucial to selecting the appropriate pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxaliplatin is one of the most widely used chemotherapy drugs for colorectal cancer (CRC). Resistance to oxaliplatin threatens the prognosis of CRC. Since previous studies have aroused interest in fatty acid metabolism in cancer, in this study, we determined whether fatty acid biosynthesis and the related regulating mechanism contribute to oxaliplatin resistance in CRC. METHODS The effect of the fatty acid synthase (FASN) and its inhibitor Orlistat was characterized in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, oxaliplatin-resistant cell lines, and xenografts. MRNA-seq and analysis identified related pathway changes after the application of Orlistat, which was verified by Western blotting. RESULTS By leveraging the GEO databases, FASN and closely related gene signatures were identified as being correlated with the response to oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy and poor prognosis. Additionally, FASN-upregulated expression promoted oxaliplatin resistance in CRC cell lines. We then applied Orlistat, a typical FASN inhibitor, in cell culture and xenograft models of oxaliplatin-resistant CRC, which attenuated the resistance to oxaliplatin. Additionally, the combination of the FASN inhibitor and oxaliplatin significantly increased cell cycle arrest and facilitated apoptosis, partly due to the diminished phosphorylation of the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways. In vivo studies showed that inhibiting fatty acid biosynthesis with Orlistat restrained the growth of xenograft tumors and increased the responsiveness to oxaliplatin. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that FASN enhanced resistance to oxaliplatin in CRC. The inhibition of FASN could rescue the response to oxaliplatin by regulating MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways.

[PMID: 36523501 PMCID: PMC9745148 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.1004259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective: The aim of the present Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) was to explore the comparative effectiveness and safeaty of different Chinese Medicine injections (CMIs) combined with the XELOX regimen versus XELOX alone for colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: A comprehensive search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed with regard to different CMIs for the treatment of CRC in several electronic databases up to April 2022. The quality assessment of the included RCTs was conducted according to the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Standard pair-wise and Bayesian NMA were designed to comparethe effectiveness and safety of different CMIs combined with the XELOX regimen by utilizing R 4.0.3 software and Stata 15.1 software simultaneously. Results: Initially, a total of 4296 citations were retrieved through comprehensive searching, and 32 eligible articles involving 2847 participants and 11 CMIs were ultimately included. CMIs combined with XELOX were superior to the XELOX regimen alone, and a total of ten Observation Indicators were included in the study, with the following results. Among all the injections, Shengmaiyin, Shenmai, and Kanglaite combined with the XELOX regimen were the three CMIs with the highest clinical efficiency. The top three in terms of improving CD3+ values were Shengmaiyin, Shenqifuzheng, and Cinobufacini injections. Shenqifuzheng, Shengmaiyin, and BruceaJavanica oil injections combined with the XELOX regimen performed best at raising CD4+ values. Kanglaite, Cinobufacini, and Matrine injections combined with the XELOX regimen performed best in improving CD4+/CD8+ rates. The top three in terms of improving performance status were Xiaoaiping, Shenmai, and Kanglaite injections. Cinobufacini and Brucea Javanica oil injections combined with the XELOX regimen performed best at raising CD8+ values. Shenqifuzheng, Kangai, and Matrine injections combined with the XELOX regimen performed best in improving Gastrointestinal reactions.The top threein terms of improving Leukopenia were Shenqifuzheng, Compound Kushen and Kanglaite injections. The top three in terms of improving Platelet decline were Compound Kushen, Cinobufacini and Shenqifuzheng injections. Additionally, those that were best at improving nausea and vomitting were Cinobufacini, Compound Kushen and Aidi injections. Conclusion: The results of the analysis demonstrated thatShengmaiyin, Kanglaite, and Cinobufacini injections and the XELOX regimen were associated with morepreferable and beneficial outcomes than other CMI groups. Nevertheless, additional results from multicenter trials and high-quality studies will bevital to support our findings.

Abstract
Objective To construct a nomogram-based prediction model for the clinical prognosis of patients with stage II and III colon cancer who underwent Xelox chemotherapy after laparoscopic radical resection based on large data sets. Methods A total of 7,832 patients with colorectal cancer who received postoperative Xelox-based chemotherapy were screened from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (USA) as the training data set. In addition, 348 domestic patients were screened as the validation data set. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify variables for inclusion in the nomogram-based prediction model. The predictive accuracy of the model was assessed using C-index and calibration curve. Results Age, cell differentiation, nerve invasion, T and N stages of tumours, number of dissected lymph nodes, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level were found to influence the efficacy of postoperative chemotherapy. The nomogram-based prediction model was successfully constructed. The C-index of both the training set and validation set were higher than those of the 7th edition of TNM staging system published by the American Joint Commission on Cancer (C − index of training data set = 0.728, C − index of validation data set = 0.734). The prediction results of the model in the calibration curve showed a good fit with the actual situation. Conclusion We successfully constructed a nomogram-based model to predict the clinical prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer receiving postoperative Xelox-based chemotherapy after laparoscopic radical resection, which showed good clinical application value for predicting the efficacy of postoperative Xelox-based chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anlotinib, an oral small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting VEGFR 1/2/3, FGFR 1-4, PDGFR a/β, and c-kit, had demonstrated prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). This multicenter, single-arm, phase II, exploratory study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with capecitabine and oxaliplatin as first-line treatment for unresectable RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC. METHODS Patients aged 18-75 with RAS/BRAF wild-type unresectable mCRC, without prior systemic treatment, and ECOG performance status ≤1 were enrolled. Eligible patients received capecitabine (850 mg/m2, p.o., bid, on day 1-14 every 21 days), oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2, i.v., on day 1 every 21 days), and anlotinib (12 mg, p.o., qd, on days 1-14 every 21 days) as induction therapy. Following 6 cycles of therapy, patients who achieved response or stable disease received capecitabine and anlotinib as maintenance therapy until tumor progression. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST (version: 1.1), and the secondary endpoints were PFS, disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), and safety. RESULTS Between November 2019 and February 2021, 31 patients were enrolled. One patient was excluded for refusing treatment. The primary endpoint of ORR was 76.7% (95% CI, 57.7-90.1) with 1 patient achieving a complete response and 22 patients partial response. DCR was 93.3% (95% CI, 77.9-99.2). At a median follow-up of 14.1 months (95% CI, 9.9-18.3), median PFS was 11.3 months (95% CI, 7.1-14.1), and DOR was 7.9 months (95% CI, 5.5-12.7). Twenty-five (83.3%) patients experienced grade 3 or 4 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). No grade 5 TEAE was reported. The most common grade 3 or 4 TEAEs (>10%) were hypertension (15/30; 50%), neutrophil count decreased (8/30; 26.7%), and diarrhea (4/30; 13.3%). A total of 18 (60%) patients had TEAEs that resulted in dose reduction, interruptions, or delays. CONCLUSIONS Anlotinib combined with capecitabine and oxaliplatin showed considerable ORR, DCR, PFS, and DOR in the first-line therapy of mCRC with manageable toxicity profiles.

Abstract
Chemotherapy resistance represents a formidable obstacle in advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. It is reported that ATPase copper transporting alpha (ATP7A) plays an important role in chemotherapy resistance in CRC. Here, we identified ATP7A as a potentially key gene of OXA resistance in CRC. The patients with higher expression of ATP7A tended to have platinum drug resistance. While the lower expression of ATP7A by siRNA knockdown resulted in enhancement of OXA sensitivity and increased OXA-induced apoptosis. Further, we demonstrated a novel and safe strategy to increase CRC chemosensitivity by delivering siRNA into tumor cells via a novel nanoparticle, DAN. In summary, our study provided a novel nanocarrier-based delivery of ATP7A to interfere in a key gene of chemo-resistance in CRC, which may be a novel therapeutic strategy to overcome chemotherapy resistance in CRC.

Inoperable de novo metastatic colorectal cancer with primary tumour in situ: Evaluating discordant responses to upfront systemic therapy of the primary tumours and metastatic sites and complications arising from primary tumours (experiences from an Irish Cancer Centre). Mol Clin Oncol 2022; 16:40. [PMID: 35003738 PMCID: PMC8739439 DOI: 10.3892/mco.2021.2472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Systemic therapy is the mainstay of treatment for de novo metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Heterogeneity between primary tumours and metastases may lead to discordant responses to systemic therapy at these sites. The aim of the present study was to examine these discrepancies and to evaluate the rates of complications arising from the primary tumour and the strategies employed to manage these complications. Electronic medical records were screened for patients eligible for data analysis between January 1st, 2014 and December 31st, 2019. All patients diagnosed with de novo mCRC with primary tumour in situ at the time of initial systemic therapy were included in data analysis. Responses in primary tumour and metastatic sites (according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours v1.1), discrepancies in these responses and rates of complications arising from primary tumours were assessed along with patient, pathological or molecular factors that may be associated with these discrepant responses or primary tumour complications. A total of 50 patients were identified (median age, 62 years). Right-colon, left-colon and rectal primary tumours comprised 34, 44 and 22% of CRC cases, respectively. All patients received 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy (either alone or in combination with oxaliplatin or irinotecan). Disease response (DR), stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD) were observed as the first response to systemic therapy in 24, 62 and 12% of primary tumours and in 36, 18 and 44% of metastatic sites, respectively. Only 36% of patients demonstrated concordant responses between the primary tumours and metastases, while the remaining 62% demonstrated discordant responses between the primary tumour and distant metastases (22% had DR with SD; 36% had DR or SD with PD; and 4% had PD with SD in the primary tumour and metastases, respectively). Restaging images were not available for 2% of the patients. Approximately 30% of patients developed complications from primary tumours, including bowel obstruction (6.12%), perforation (6%), rectal pain (6%) and rectal bleeding (10%). Approximately 10% of patients underwent palliative stoma creation. Additionally, 12% required palliative radiotherapy to the primary tumour (due to localized complications arising from the tumour). Discordant responses to systemic therapy between primary tumours and metastases occurred in 60% of patients with de novo mCRC (with primary tumour in situ at the time of first systemic therapy). The observations of the present study have potential implications for molecular tissue analysis to help guide systemic therapy. Tissue from metastatic sites may be preferable to confirm biomarker status in mCRC based on this study.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Treatment strategies for esophageal adenocarcinoma patients continue to advance with the generation of more data from clinical trials that are permitting us to refine the use of immunotherapy in combination with other treatment modalities. While the frontline therapy for metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma has become more complicated with the approval of combination regimens, it is also yielding better outcomes. These treatment strategies can now be individualized to fit patient circumstances and goals as well as the biomarker profile of their individual tumors leading to an increased likelihood of treatment related remissions and extended median survivals. Comprehensive genomic profiling at diagnosis should now be standard to allow the management team to customize each patient's treatment plan based on the genetic abnormalities discovered in their tumor. By refining these targeted approaches, we will see decreased toxicities and increased survival.

Abstract
Capecitabine and irinotecan (CPT-11) combination regimen (XELIRI) is used for colorectal cancer treatment. Capecitabine is metabolized to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) by three enzymes, including carboxylesterase (CES). CES can also convert CPT-11 to 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptotecin (SN-38). CES is involved in the metabolic activation of both capecitabine and CPT-11, and it is possible that drug-drug interactions occur in XELIRI. Here, a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed to evaluate drug-drug interactions. Capecitabine (180 mg/kg) and CPT-11 (180 mg/m2) were administered to rats, and blood (250 μL) was collected from the jugular vein nine times after administration. Metabolic enzyme activities and Ki values were calculated through in vitro experiments. The plasma concentration of 5-FU in XELIRI was significantly decreased compared to capecitabine monotherapy, and metabolism of capecitabine by CES was inhibited by CPT-11. A PBPK model was developed based on the in vivo and in vitro results. Furthermore, a PBPK model-based simulation was performed with the capecitabin dose ranging from 0 to 1000mol/kg in XELIRI, and it was found that an approximately 1.7-fold dosage of capecitabine was required in XELIRI for comparable 5-FU exposure with capecitabine monotherapy. PBPK model-based simulation will contribute to the optimization of colorectal cancer chemotherapy using XELIRI.

Abstract
Resistance to anti-cancer treatments is a critical and widespread health issue that has brought serious impacts on lives, the economy and public policies. Mounting research has suggested that a selected spectrum of patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) tend to respond poorly to both chemotherapeutic and targeted therapeutic regimens. Drug resistance in tumours can occur in an intrinsic or acquired manner, rendering cancer cells insensitive to the treatment of anti-cancer therapies. Multiple factors have been associated with drug resistance. The most well-established factors are the emergence of cancer stem cell-like properties and overexpression of ABC transporters that mediate drug efflux. Besides, there is emerging evidence that signalling pathways that modulate cell survival and drug metabolism play major roles in the maintenance of multidrug resistance in CRC. This article reviews drug resistance in CRC as a result of alterations in the MAPK, PI3K/PKB, Wnt/β-catenin and Notch pathways.

Genome-wide association studies of toxicity to oxaliplatin and fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy with or without cetuximab in 1800 patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Int J Cancer 2021; 149:1713-1722. [PMID: 34270794 DOI: 10.1002/ijc.33739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2021] [Revised: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Chemotherapies administered at normal therapeutic dosages can cause significant side-effects and may result in early treatment discontinuation. Inter-individual variation in toxicity highlights the need for biomarkers to personalise treatment. We sought to identify such biomarkers by conducting 40 genome-wide association studies, together with gene and gene set analyses, for any toxicity and 10 individual toxicities in 1800 patients with advanced colorectal cancer treated with oxaliplatin and fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy ± cetuximab from the MRC COIN and COIN-B trials (385 patients received FOLFOX, 360 FOLFOX + cetuximab, 707 XELOX and 348 XELOX + cetuximab). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), genes and gene sets that reached genome-wide or suggestive significance were validated in independent patient groups. We found that MROH5 was significantly associated with neutropenia in MAGMA gene analyses in patients treated with XELOX (P = 6.6 × 10-7 ) and was independently validated in those receiving XELOX + cetuximab; pooled P = 3.7 × 10-7 . rs13260246 at 8q21.13 was significantly associated with vomiting in patients treated with XELOX (odds ratio = 5.0, 95% confidence interval = 3.0-8.3, P = 9.8 × 10-10 ) but was not independently replicated. SNPs at 139 loci had suggestive associations for toxicities and lead SNPs at five of these were independently validated (rs6030266 with diarrhoea, rs1546161 with hand-foot syndrome, rs9601722 with neutropenia, rs13413764 with lethargy and rs4600090 with nausea; all with pooled P's < 5.0 × 10-6 ). In conclusion, the association of MROH5 with neutropenia and five other putative biomarkers warrant further investigation for their potential clinical utility. Despite our comprehensive genome-wide analyses of large, well-characterised, clinical trials, we found a lack of common variants with modest effect sizes associated with toxicities.

Abstract
Immunotherapy in the metastatic setting has drastically altered the landscape of treatment for various types of malignancy, including colorectal cancer. The category of immune checkpoint inhibitors has especially emerged as a class of therapy predicated on a more comprehensive understanding of immune cell-cancer cell regulation and evolution of the tumor microenvironment over time. Strategies including adoptive cellular therapies, tumor vaccines, and antibodies have also demonstrated the ability to enhance antitumor immunity. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of the current landscape of immunotherapeutic strategies in colorectal cancer and provide insight into how these strategies may evolve in the next decade and be adapted to more localized forms of cancers of the colon and rectum. We provide particular focus on various combination approaches under investigation for reversing cancer-induced immunosuppression, especially in mismatch repair-proficient/microsatellite-stable colorectal tumors. Finally, we summarize current understanding on a recently identified integral factor in local immune regulation, the colonic microbiome. The aim of this article is to identify current challenges and barriers to improvement and to specify opportunities for applying knowledge in the immunotherapy sphere to rational design of clinical trials intended to improve survival and related outcomes in patients treated in the neoadjuvant setting.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common forms of cancer, with an estimated 1.36 million new cases and almost 700,000 deaths annually. Approximately 21% of patients with CRC have metastatic disease at diagnosis. The objective of this article is to review the literature on the efficacy and safety of oral drugs available for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Several such drugs have been developed, and fluoropyrimidines are the backbone of chemotherapy in this indication. They exert their antitumour activity by disrupting the synthesis and function of DNA and RNA. Oral fluoropyrimidines include prodrugs capecitabine, tegafur, eniluracil/5-fluorouracil, tegafur/uracil, tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil and trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI). Oral drugs offer several advantages over injectable formulations, including convenience, flexibility, avoidance of injection-related adverse events (AEs) and, in some circumstances, lower costs. However, oral drugs may not be suitable for patients with gastrointestinal obstruction or malabsorption, they may result in reduced treatment adherence and should not be co-administered with drugs that interfere with absorption or hepatic metabolism. Oral fluoropyrimidines such as capecitabine, as monotherapy or in combination with oxaliplatin, irinotecan or bevacizumab, are as effective as intravenous 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in first-line treatment of mCRC. Other oral fluoropyrimidines, such as FTD/TPI, are effective in patients with mCRC who are refractory, intolerant or ineligible for 5-FU. In addition, oral fluoropyrimidines are used in adjuvant treatment of mCRC. Regorafenib is an oral multikinase inhibitor used in patients in whom several previous lines of therapy have failed. Frequent AEs associated with oral drugs used in the treatment of CRC include hand-foot syndrome and gastrointestinal and haematological toxicities.

Abstract
This selection from the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Colon Cancer focuses on systemic therapy options for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), because important updates have recently been made to this section. These updates include recommendations for first-line use of checkpoint inhibitors for mCRC, that is deficient mismatch repair/microsatellite instability-high, recommendations related to the use of biosimilars, and expanded recommendations for biomarker testing. The systemic therapy recommendations now include targeted therapy options for patients with mCRC that is HER2-amplified, or BRAF V600E mutation-positive. Treatment and management of nonmetastatic or resectable/ablatable metastatic disease are discussed in the complete version of the NCCN Guidelines for Colon Cancer available at NCCN.org. Additional topics covered in the complete version include risk assessment, staging, pathology, posttreatment surveillance, and survivorship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Capecitabine is an oral prodrug of 5-fluorouracil and is widely used for colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. However, knowledge of its antitumor efficacy after modification of the dosing schedule is insufficient. The aim of this study was to predict the antitumor efficacy of capecitabine using a physiologically based pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PBPK-PD) model based on metabolic enzyme activities. METHODS CRC model rats were administrated 180 mg/kg of capecitabine for 2 weeks. Blood samples were collected at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 h following capecitabine administration. Plasma concentrations of capecitabine and its metabolites were measured on days 1, 7, and 14. Metabolic enzyme activities were determined in vitro using the liver and small intestine of the CRC model rats. A PBPK-PD model was developed based on metabolic enzyme activities. The antitumor efficacy of capecitabine after regimen modification was simulated using the PBPK-PD model. RESULTS Capecitabine antitumor efficacy was dose-dependent. A dose of > 500 μmol/kg was needed to inhibit tumor growth. After capecitabine regimen modification, a 1-week postponement of capecitabine administration was more efficacious than a reduction in the dosage to 80%. CONCLUSIONS The PBPK-PD model could simulate the antitumor efficacy at various capecitabine administration schedules. PBPK-PD models can contribute to the development of an appropriate CRC chemotherapy regimen with capecitabine.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide with more than 1.85 million cases and 850 000 deaths annually. Of new colorectal cancer diagnoses, 20% of patients have metastatic disease at presentation and another 25% who present with localized disease will later develop metastases. OBSERVATIONS Colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of cancer mortality for men and women in the United States, with 53 200 deaths projected in 2020. Among people diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer, approximately 70% to 75% of patients survive beyond 1 year, 30% to 35% beyond 3 years, and fewer than 20% beyond 5 years from diagnosis. The primary treatment for unresectable metastatic CRC is systemic therapy (cytotoxic chemotherapy, biologic therapy such as antibodies to cellular growth factors, immunotherapy, and their combinations.) Clinical trials completed in the past 5 years have demonstrated that tailoring treatment to the molecular and pathologic features of the tumor improves overall survival. Genomic profiling to detect somatic variants is important because it identifies the treatments that may be effective. For the 50% of patients with metastatic CRC with KRAS/NRAS/BRAF wild-type tumors, cetuximab and panitumumab (monoclonal antibodies to the epithelial growth factor receptor [EGFR]), in combination with chemotherapy, can extend median survival by 2 to 4 months compared with chemotherapy alone. However, for the 35% to 40% of patients with KRAS or NRAS sequence variations (formerly termed mutations), effective targeted therapies are not yet available. For the 5% to 10% with BRAF V600E sequence variations, targeted combination therapy with BRAF and EGFR inhibitors extended overall survival to 9.3 months, compared to 5.9 months for those receiving standard chemotherapy. For the 5% with microsatellite instability (the presence of numerous insertions or deletions at repetitive DNA units) or mismatch repair deficiency, immunotherapy may be used in the first or subsequent line and has improved treatment outcomes with a median overall survival of 31.4 months in previously treated patients. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Advances in molecular profiling of metastatic CRC facilitate the ability to direct treatments to the biologic features of the tumor for specific patient subsets. Although cures remain uncommon, more patients can anticipate extended survival. Genomic profiling allows treatment selection so that more patients derive benefit and fewer are exposed to toxicity from ineffective therapies.

Abstract
Background The Covid-19 pandemic poses significant challenges for the management of patients with cancer. In our institution, we adapted our delivery of outpatient systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) by introducing a number of ‘risk-reducing’ measures including pre-assessment screening. Aims We sought to evaluate the experience and perceptions of patients with cancer undergoing SACT during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods Patients on SACT during the Covid-19 pandemic were eligible for participation. Data were collected by anonymous survey over a 1 week period during the most intensive phase of government restrictions. Patients were asked questions under three headings: perceived risk of infection exposure, changes to treatment plan and psychological impact of Covid-19. Results One hundred patients were assessed, 60% were male, 41% were > 65 years of age and 67% had advanced cancer. Eleven percent of patients were living alone. Fifty-seven percent reported feeling at increased risk in general of contracting Covid-19. Sixty-eight percent of patients did not feel worried about contracting Covid-19 in the hospital. Ninety-two percent of patients reported wanting to continue on SACT as originally planned. Fifty-eighty percent felt isolated and 40% reported increased anxiety. Conclusion Though patients on active treatment for cancer during the Covid-19 pandemic reported increased anxiety and feelings of isolation due to Covid-19, the majority of patients wanted to continue SACT as originally planned. Patients would benefit from enhanced psycho-oncological supports in the event of a prolonged Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy are at risk of thrombocytopenia. The co-incidence of cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) and thrombocytopenia is a frequent complication in patients with cancer. Especially in certain tumour entities at high VTE risk, chemotherapeutic agents with myelosuppressive effects are part of the standard of care. The management of cancer-associated VTE in the setting of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia is challenging, in the absence of evidence from high-quality studies. Thrombocytopenia is associated with both increased risk of recurrent VTE and risk of bleeding during anticoagulation. In this case-based concise review, we aimed at summarizing available literature and expert consensus guidance on the treatment of cancer-associated VTE in patients with chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Voltage-gated chloride channel 3 (ClC-3) can regulate the chemotherapy sensitivity of ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and lung cancer, while its effect and mechanism in oxaliplatin therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) are still unknown.
AIM To investigate the effect of ClC-3 on oxaliplatin sensitivity and the role of autophagy in CRC cells.
METHODS The expression of ClC-3 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅱ (LC3-Ⅱ) in the tissues of chemotherapy resistant and sensitive CRC was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The expression levels of ClC-3 and LC3-Ⅱ in HT-29 and HT-29/L-OHP cells were detected by Western blot. After transfection of HT-29 and HT-29/L-OHP cells with ClC-3 siRNA, the sensitivity of the cells to oxaliplatin was detected by CCK-8 assay, the autophagy was detected by Cyto-ID staining, and the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins Beclin1, LC3-Ⅰ, LC3-Ⅱ, and p62 were detected by Western blot. The HT-29 and HT-29/L-OHP cells transfected with ClC-3 siRNA were subsequently treated with the autophagy agonist rapamycin, and then the sensitivity of the cells to oxaliplatin and the expression levels of Beclin1, LC3-Ⅰ, LC3-Ⅱ, p62, and ClC-3 were detected by CCK-8 assay and Western blot, respectively.
RESULTS LC3-Ⅱ and ClC-3 were highly expressed in tissues of chemo-resistant colorectal cancer and HT-29/L-OHP cells. After inhibition of ClC-3, the sensitivity of HT-29 cells and HT-29/L-OHP cells to oxaliplatin was both increased, and the autophagy level of the cells was decreased. Rapamycin reversed the sensitization of ClC-3 inhibition to oxaliplatin in colorectal cancer cells, but had no effect on the expression of ClC-3.
CONCLUSION Down-regulation of ClC-3 can enhance the sensitivity of colorectal cancer cells to oxaliplatin chemotherapy by inhibiting autophagy.

Abstract
Background 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was the standard treatment care for colorectal cancer (CRC), however, its efficacy was limited due to safety concerns. Capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) treatment was found equivalent to 5-FU in efficacy and preferred now due to easy management and convenience in administration. Hence, the present study aims to determine the efficacy and safety associated with CAPOX treatment in a real world non clinical setting. Methods 145 treatment-naive and newly diagnosed CRC patients were recruited in the study. Each patient received oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 infusion over 2 hours on day 1 and oral capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 in divided doses twice daily for the next 14 days of a 21-day cycle. Results In the adjuvant setting, the observed disease-free survival rate was 62% (n=34) in the colon and 67% (n=15) in the rectum cancer patients at 2 years. The observed overall survival rate in the colon and rectal cancer was 80% (n=44) and 83% (n=18) respectively at 2 years. In the palliative setting the observed progression-free survival rate was 28% (n=13) in the colon and 33% (n=7) in rectal cancer patients at 2 years. The observed OSR at 2 years was 64% (n=30) in the colon and 67% (n=14) in the rectal cancer patients. Thrombocytopenia (17, 11.7%) and diarrhea (8, 5.5%) were the most commonly observed grade 3/4 hematological and gastrointestinal toxicities. Hand-foot syndrome and peripheral neuropathy were the major contributors for dose reduction (14, 9.6%), treatment delay (8, 5.4%), and drug discontinuation (9, 6.1%) in the study cohort. Conclusion CAPOX treatment was found to be effective but associated with several dose-limiting toxicities.

Abstract
Modern management of colorectal cancer (crc) with peritoneal metastasis (pm) is based on a combination of cytoreductive surgery (crs), systemic chemotherapy, and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (hipec). Although the role of hipec has recently been questioned with respect to results from the prodige 7 trial, the role and benefit of a complete crs were confirmed, as observed with a 41-month gain in median survival in that study, and 15% of patients remaining disease-free at 5 years. Still, crc with pm is associated with a poor prognosis, and good patient selection is essential. Many questions about the optimal management approach for such patients remain, but all patients with pm from crc should be referred to, or discussed with, a pm surgical oncologist, because cure is possible. The objective of the present guideline is to offer a practical approach to the management of pm from crc and to reflect on the new practice standards set by recent publications on the topic.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) contributes to treatment dose delay and/or modification, often resulting in poorer survival and disease progression. We explored the incidence and clinical consequences of CIT among metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from two prospective randomized phase 3 trials of mCRC patients receiving either first-line FOLFOX4 (fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin) or second-line FOLFIRI (fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan) were analyzed. Thrombocytopenia was defined by platelet count < 100 × 109/L (further categorized by grade) and by recorded adverse events (AEs). Co-occurrence of anemia (hemoglobin < 12 g/dL) and neutropenia (neutrophil count < 2 × 109/L) and clinical consequences of CIT were also evaluated. RESULTS Among 1078 mCRC patients in the FOLFOX4 study, cumulative incidence of CIT based on platelet count was 37% (grade 3, 2%; grade 4, 1%) during an average 8 months' follow-up. Neutropenia or anemia were absent in 44% of CIT episodes; 62% of CIT AEs led to chemotherapy dose delay, change, and/or discontinuation. Among 1067 mCRC patients in the FOLFIRI study, cumulative incidence of CIT based on platelet count was 4% (grade 3, < 1%; grade 4, 0) during an average 4 months' follow-up. Neutropenia or anemia were absent in 22% of CIT episodes; 32% of CIT AEs led to chemotherapy dose delay, change, and/or discontinuation. With both regimens, transfusions and hospitalizations after CIT AEs were rare (< 3%). CONCLUSION CIT was common among mCRC patients receiving the FOLFOX4 regimen. The most frequent consequence of CIT was a delay in chemotherapy, highlighting the unmet need in CIT management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy (HIPEC) following cytoreductive surgery (CRS) has been applied for peritoneal metastasis (PM) from colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to compare oxaliplatin (OX) with mitomycin C (MMC) in HIPEC for PM from CRC in surgical and survival outcomes. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed and Ovid databases for studies comparing OX with MMC in HIPEC for PM from CRC. The last search was performed on June 21, 2020. RESULTS Eleven articles published between 2006 and 2020 with 2091 patients were included. When compared with MMC group, the OX group showed significantly higher rate of major complications (P = 0.006, OR = 1.57, 95% CI [1.14, 2.16], I2 = 0%). Besides, no significant difference was observed between the two groups for survival outcomes, regardless of 3-year overall survival (P = 0.98, OR = 1.00, 95% CI [0.83, 1.22], I2 = 0%), 3-year disease-free survival (P = 0.98, OR = 1.00, 95% CI [0.83, 1.22], I2 = 0%), or 5-year overall survival (P = 0.91, OR = 1.01, 95% CI [0.81, 1.26], I2 = 0%). CONCLUSION OX and MMC could achieve comparable survival in HIPEC for PM from CRC. However, in consideration of the high incidence of major complication in OX group, MMC might be the safer one in clinical routines.

Abstract
The national pandemic resulting from the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has made the delivery of care for patients with cancer a challenge. There are competing risks of mortality from cancer versus serious complications and higher risk of death from COVID-19 in immunocompromised hosts. Furthermore, compounding these concerns is the inadequate supply of personal protective equipment, decreased hospital capacity, and paucity of effective treatments or vaccines to date for COVID-19. Guidance measures and recommendations have been published by national organizations aiming to facilitate the delivery of care in a safe and effective manner, many of which, are permanently adoptable interventions. Given the critical importance to continue chemotherapy, there remains additional interventions to further enhance patient safety while conserving healthcare resources such as adjustments in medication administration, reduction in laboratory or drug monitoring, and home delivery of specialty infusions. In this manuscript, we outline how to implement these actionable interventions of chemotherapy and supportive care delivery to further enhance the current precautionary measures while maintaining safe and effective patient care. Coupled with current published standards, these strategies can help alleviate the numerous challenges associated with this pandemic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES High interindividual variability was reported with capecitabine toxicities among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. DPYD*9A polymorphism was reported responsible for grade 3 or 4 toxicities. Finding the phenotypic association between DPYD*9A polymorphism and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) plasma levels will give a better prediction for toxicity susceptibility. METHODS A total of 145 CRC patients were included in the final analysis. Each patient received capecitabine of 1,000 mg/m2 twice daily for the first 14 days of a 21 day cycle. 5-FU levels were measured at two-time points 2 and 3 h post capecitabine administration across the 1st and 4th cycles of chemotherapy. 5-FU levels were measured using liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Genotyping analysis was done by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). RESULTS The mean 5-FU drug levels measured during the 1st cycle at time points 2 and 3 h were found to be 267 ng/mL ± (29) and 124 ng/mL ± (22) respectively. Whereas, the observed 5-FU levels in the 4th cycle were 275 ng/mL ± (28) and 130 ng/mL ± (26) respectively. Patients with 5-FU levels in the range of 281-320 and 141-160 ng/mL at 2 and 3 h respectively showed a higher risk for the hand-foot syndrome (HFS) and thrombocytopenia. No association was found between DPYD*9A polymorphism and 5-FU drug levels measured at time point 2 h across both the cycles. However, the drug levels measured at 3 h were found to be significantly different across the DPYD*9A genotypes. Individuals with GG genotype showed significantly higher 5-FU levels when compared to AA genotype. CONCLUSIONS DPYD*9A polymorphism had a significant influence on the plasma levels of 5-FU after capecitabine administration. The 5-FU levels measured at 3 h corresponding to elimination t1/2 was significantly higher in patients with GG genotype compared AA genotype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy with oxaliplatin is known to induce sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS). In a previous single-center study, we reported that oxaliplatin-induced increase in splenic volume (SV) is strongly indicative of SOS, and that this increase in SV persisted for > 1 year after completing chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to confirm the oxaliplatin-induced SV change in a multicenter study in patients with stage III colon cancer in Japan. METHODS We enrolled 59 patients who underwent curative resection for stage III colon cancer in the FACOS study in a phase II multi-center clinical study. Participants received mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX as adjuvant chemotherapy. SV change was assessed three times by computed tomographic volumetry: before surgery, on completion of adjuvant chemotherapy, and 1 year after completing adjuvant chemotherapy. RESULTS SV on completing and 1 year after chemotherapy was significantly higher than that before surgery (P < 0.001). Oxaliplatin-induced SOS persisted for > 1 year after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy in half of the patients. There was no difference in 3-year disease-free survival with respect to the presence or absence of increased SV. An increase in SV was observed in 72% of patients treated with mFOLFOX6 and 94% of patients treated with CAPOX (P = 0.13). CONCLUSION This study can be verified the findings observed in our previous single-center study, oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with an increase in SV. Furthermore, this increase can persist for > 1 year. The continuous presence of SOS may have a negative impact on prognosis in patients that develop recurrent disease.

Abstract
CTCF is overexpressed in several cancers and plays crucial roles in regulating aggressiveness, but little is known about whether CTCF drives colorectal cancer progression. Here, we identified a tumor-promoting role for CTCF in colorectal cancer. Our study demonstrated that CTCF was upregulated in colorectal cancer specimens compared with adjacent noncancerous colorectal tissues. The overexpression of CTCF promoted colorectal cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth, while the opposite effects were observed in CTCF knockdown cells. Increased GLI1, Shh, PTCH1, and PTCH2 levels were observed in CTCF-overexpressing cells using western blot analyses. CCK-8 and apoptosis assays revealed that 5-fluorouracil chemosensitivity was negatively associated with CTCF expression. Furthermore, we identified that P53 is a direct transcriptional target gene of CTCF in colorectal cancer. Western blot and nuclear extract assays showed that inhibition of P53 can counteract Hedgehog signaling pathway repression induced by CTCF knockdown. In conclusion, we uncovered a crucial role for CTCF regulation that possibly involves the P53-Hedgehog axis and highlighted the clinical utility of colorectal cancer-specific potential therapeutic target as disease progression or clinical response biomarkers.

Evaluation of ABC gene polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of capecitabine in colorectal patients: Implications for dosing recommendations. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2020; 87:905-915. [PMID: 32559325 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.14441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2020] [Revised: 06/01/2020] [Accepted: 06/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS The aims are to develop a population pharmacokinetic model of capecitabine (CAP) and its main metabolites after the oral administration of CAP in colorectal cancer patients with different polymorphisms of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) gene and a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model capable of accounting for the neutropenic effects, and to optimize the dosing strategy based on the polymorphisms of the ABC gene and/or the administration regimen as a single agent or in combination. METHODS Forty-eight patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer were included, with 432 plasma levels of CAP, 5'-desoxi-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and 370 neutrophil observations. Capecitabine doses ranged from 1250 to 2500 mg/m2 /24 h. Plasma measurements of CAP, 5'-DFUR and 5-FU were obtained at 1, 2 and 3 hours post administration. Neutrophil levels were measured between day 15 and day 24 post administration. RESULTS The pharmacokinetic model incorporates oxaliplatin as a covariate on absorption lag time, rs6720173 (ABCG5 gene) on clearance of 5'-DFUR (182% increase for mutated rs6720173) and rs2271862 (ABCA2 gene) on clearance of 5-FU (184% increase for mutated rs2271862). System- (Circ0 = 3.54 × 109 cells/mL, MTT = 204 hours and γ = 6.0 × 10-2 ) and drug-related (slope [SLP] = 3.1 × 10-2 mL/mg). Co-administration of oxaliplatin resulted in a 2.84-fold increase in SLP. The predicted exposure thresholds to G3/4 neutropenia in combination and monotherapy were 26 and 70 mg·h/L, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model characterized the time course of capecitabine and its metabolites in plasma. Dose recommendations of capecitabine in patients with mutated and wild allele for single nucleotide polymorphisms rs2271862 of ≤3000 and ≤2400 mg/m2 /24 h in monotherapy and ≤1750 and ≤600 mg/m2 /24 h in combination with oxaliplatin, respectively, have been proposed.

Abstract
Purpose During COVID-19 pandemic, cancer patients are considered one of the most vulnerable to infection since they tend to have advanced age, multiple comorbidities, and are often immunosuppressed by their cancer or therapy. Hence, the Saudi Oncology Pharmacy Assembly has issued recommendations to reduce the frequency of cancer patients’ visits to oncology centers during the pandemic while maintaining the access to cancer therapy and minimize the risk of exposure to coronavirus disease. Materials and methods A qualitative methodological approach was conducted in April 2020 using a virtual panel discussion for collection of recommendations. Results A total of 12 expert oncology pharmacy practitioners shared their knowledge and experiences in managing oncology patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants recognized many fundamental recommendations that were already applied in many cancer centers since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak. On that basis, the panelists developed eight practice-related recommendations for action, with a main focus on cancer treatment modification. Conclusions In conclusion, delivering cancer care during the COVID-19 pandemic carries significant challenges. This paper addressed suggestions to properly manage cancer patients during difficult times. Implementing changes in practice mandates a national collaborative effort from different sectors to guarantee the quality and continuity of care. The SOPA expert panel developed these recommendations, to ultimately contribute in maintaining access to cancer therapy while minimizing the risk of COVID-19 exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and capecitabine are fluoropyrimidine derivatives that mainly metabolized with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase enzyme (DPD). The genetic polymorphism in the genes encoding this enzyme may result in a decrease or loss of enzyme activity which may lead to the accumulation of medicines, their metabolites and potential toxicity. METHOD This cross-sectional study was conducted on 88 participants with colorectal cancer (CRC). After DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to determine the DPD gene (DPYD) polymorphisms including IVS 14 + 1 G > A, 2846 A > T and 2194 G > A. Chemotherapy-induced side effects were evaluated according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE Version 5.0). RESULT Data were collected from 227 chemotherapy cycles of 88 patients with CRC. In a comparison of FOLFOX and FOLFIRI regimens, there was no significant difference in the occurrence of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and oral mucositis. However, the peripheral neuropathy was more frequent in patients who were treated with FOLFOX (P < 0.001) and hair loss was more common in patients who received FOLFIRI regimen (P = 0.048). Incidence of the DPD IVS14 + 1 G > A polymorphism was observed in four patients (5.5%). There was no association between IVS14 + 1 G > A polymorphism and the occurrence of adverse reactions. CONCLUSION FOLFOX and FOLFIRI were the most common regimens in CRC patients and their toxicity profile was different in some adverse reactions. Prevalence of IVS14 + 1G > A variant was relatively higher than other similar studies. TRIAL REGISTRATION Approval code; IR.MAZUMS.REC.95.2480.

J Clin Pharm Ther 2020; 45:617-627. [PMID: 32399998 DOI: 10.1111/jcpt.13166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2019] [Revised: 04/13/2020] [Accepted: 04/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE High interindividual response variability was reported with capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) regimen in colorectal cancer (CRC). The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the genes related to drug efflux transport (ABCB1) and DNA repair (ERCC) could result in altered tumour response. Hence, this study was designed to assess the influence of ABCB1, ERCC-1 and ERCC-2 gene polymorphisms on tumour response to CAPOX treatment in CRC patients of South Indian origin. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 145 newly diagnosed CRC patients were included in the final analysis. Response to CAPOX treatment in the adjuvant setting was assessed in terms of disease-free survival rate (DFSR) and overall survival rate (OSR) at 3 years, whereas in the palliative setting, the response was assessed as progression-free survival rate (PFSR) and OSR at 3 years. Five millilitres of the venous blood sample was collected from each patient for genomic DNA extraction by the manual phenol-chloroform method. Genotyping and allelic discrimination analysis were done using real-time PCR (RT-PCR). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION With ABCB1 gene polymorphism rs1045642 (A > G), patients with AG/GG genotype showed better DFSR [P value = .02, OR = 2 (CI: 1.5-3)] and PFSR [P value = .02, OR = 1.6 (CI: 1.1-2.5)] when compared to AA genotype in the adjuvant and palliative settings, respectively. Similarly with rs1128503 (A > G) polymorphism, patients with AG/GG genotype were found to have better DFSR [P value = .02, OR = 1.9 (CI: 1.3-3)] and PFSR [P value = .01, OR = 2 (CI: 1.1-3.7)] when compared to AA genotype. However, we did not find any association between CAPOX response and ABCB1 gene polymorphisms in a binary logistic regression when non-genetic predictors were considered for analysis. We did not find any association with ERCC1 (rs11615 A > G) and ERCC2 (rs13181 T > G) gene polymorphisms with respect to CAPOX response in either of the treatment settings. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION The response to CAPOX treatment was found to be influenced by the ABCB1 gene variants (rs1128503 and rs1045642), thereby strengthening their predictive role. No association was found between ERCC1 (rs11615 A > G), ERCC2 (rs13181 T > G) gene polymorphisms and tumour response to CAPOX treatment in CRC patients of South Indian origin.

Abstract
Background CAPOX regimen is a standard option in stage III adjuvant colon cancer. Gastrointestinal toxicity is well described with fluoropyrimidine regimens and can be life-threatening. Identification of risk factors associated with severe gastrointestinal toxicity may help clinicians when choosing the adjuvant regimen. Materials and Methods We retrospectively analysed 61 patients treated with adjuvant CAPOX. Our primary objective was to estimate the incidence of severe chemotherapy-induced enterocolitis among patients treated with CAPOX. A secondary objective was to describe the main demographic and clinical characteristics of these patients. A univariate logistic regression was performed to estimate the odds ratio (OR) with a 95% CI to identify a predictor for severe enterocolitis. Results Grade 3 diarrhoea was reported in 10 patients (16.3%). Admissions to hospital due to toxicity occurred in nine cases. Reasons for hospitalisation were severe enterocolitis in eight cases (13.1%) and rectal bleeding plus thrombocytopenia in one case. Age > 70 years (OR 9.6; 95% CI 1.81–50.6; p = 0.008), primary surgery involving right/transverse colon (OR 16.8; 95% CI 2.88–98.8; p = 0.002) and Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) use (OR 8.14; 95% CI 1.64–40.3; p = 0.010) were associated with severe enterocolitis. Conclusion Our data showed that adjuvant CAPOX induced severe enterocolitis in 13.1% of patients. In addition, we found that advanced age, right colectomy and concurrent use of ARB were statistically associated with these events. Awareness of these factors could be easily incorporated into the treatment decision and patient orientation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Capecitabine is a prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) used for the treatment of colorectal cancer, with a two-week course of administration. However, the variance in plasma concentration and metabolic enzyme activities after multiple administration of capecitabine and its metabolites is unknown. The aim of this study was to identify the variance and predict the plasma concentration profile of capecitabine and its metabolites, using metabolic enzyme activities, to develop a more effective and safer medication. METHODS Rats orally received 180 mg/kg of capecitabine once a day for two weeks. Blood samples were collected nine times, and plasma concentration was measured on day 1, 7, and 14. The liver and small intestine were removed after blood sampling and were used in vitro to evaluate metabolic enzyme activities of carboxylesterase, cytidine deaminase, and thymidine phosphorylase. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed using in vitro results. RESULTS Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 h to infinity of 5-FU on day 7 and day 14 was significantly lower than that on day 1. Intrinsic clearance of thymidine phosphorylase in the liver on day 7 and day 14 was 1.4 and 1.3 times lower than that on day 1, respectively. The PBPK model described the observed plasma concentration of capecitabine and its metabolites. CONCLUSION The decreased plasma concentration of capecitabine was caused by decreased metabolic enzyme activity. Efficacy can be improved by dose adjustment of capecitabine based on metabolic enzyme activities, using the PBPK model.

Abstract
AIM CAPOX treatment in CRC patients was reported to cause several dose-limiting toxicities, and are found responsible for treatment interruption or even discontinuation. Therefore there is a critical need for identifying the predictive biomarkers for such toxicities to prevent them. The aim of our present study is to find the influence of DPYD*9A, DPYD*6 and GSTP1 ile105val gene polymorphisms on CAPOX treatment-associated toxicities in south Indian patients with CRC. PATIENTS AND METHODS We have recruited 145 newly diagnosed and treatment naive CRC patients in the study. Each Patient received a standard treatment schedule of oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 infusion over 2 hours on day 1 and oral capecitabine 1000mg/m2 in divided doses twice daily for the next 14 days of a 21-day cycle. 5 ml of the venous blood was collected from each patient and genomic DNA extraction and genotyping. The genotyping analysis of the selected genetic polymorphisms was carried out by real-time PCR using TaqMan SNP genotyping assays obtained from applied biosystems. RESULTS The major dose-limiting toxicities observed with CAPOX treatment were thrombocytopenia, HFS and PN. DPYD*9A carries were found to be at higher risk for HFS, diarrhoea and thrombocytopenia when compared to patients with wild allele. No significant association was found between DPYD*6, GSTP1 ile105val polymorphisms and CAPOX related toxicities except for thrombocytopenia. CONCLUSION A significant association was observed between DPYD*9A polymorphism and CAPOX induced dose-limiting toxicities strengthening its role as a predictive biomarker.

Abstract
Renal transplantation has become the sole most preferred therapy modality for end-stage renal disease patients. The growing tendency for renal transplants, and prolonged survival of renal recipients, have resulted in a certain number of post-transplant colorectal cancer patients. Antitumor pharmacotherapy in these patients is a dilemma. Substantial impediments such as carcinogenesis of immunosuppressive drugs (ISDs), drug interaction between ISDs and anticancer drugs, and toxicity of anticancer drugs exist. However, experience of antitumor pharmacotherapy in these patients is limited, and the potential risks and benefits have not been reviewed systematically. This review evaluates the potential impediments, summarizes current experience, and provides potential antitumor strategies, including adjuvant, palliative, and subsequent regimens. Moreover, special pharmaceutical care, such as ISDs therapeutic drug monitoring, metabolic enzymes genotype, and drug interaction, are also highlighted.
