Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics affecting different intensities of mandibular asymmetry in skeletal Class II adults using three-dimensional images. This study is clinically relevant since it allows professionals to evaluate the morphological components related to these deformities and more carefully obtain correct diagnosis and treatment plan for such patients. METHODS Cone-beam computed tomography data of 120 Class II patients (40 with relative symmetry, 40 with moderate asymmetry, and 40 with severe asymmetry) were imported to SimPlant Ortho Pro® 2.0 software (Dental Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Three reference planes were established and linear measurements were performed from specific landmarks to these planes, comparing the deviated side and the contralateral side in each group, as well as the differences between groups. The correlation between midline mandibular asymmetry and other variables was also evaluated. Statistical analyses considered a significance level of 5%. RESULTS Comparing the values obtained on the deviated side and on the contralateral side, there were significant differences for patients with moderate asymmetry and severe asymmetry. However, differences were seen more often in severe mandibular asymmetries. In those patients, there was a significant correlation of the gnathion deviation with lower dental midline deviation, difference in the lateral gonion positions, difference in the mandibular rami heights, and difference in the jugale vertical displacements. CONCLUSIONS For skeletal Class II patients with mandibular asymmetry, some craniofacial features are related to chin deviation and require proper evaluation, including the bilateral differences in the ramus height, mandibular body length, transverse and vertical positioning of the gonion and jugale points.

Abstract
In the present study, the microstructural evolution and the modulation of the mechanical properties have been investigated for a Co-Cr-Mo (CCM) ternary eutectic alloy by addition of a small amount of copper (0.5 and 1 at.%). The microstructural observations reveal a distinct dissimilarity in the eutectic structure such as a broken lamellar structure and a well-aligned lamellar structure and an increasing volume fraction of Co lamellae as increasing amount of copper addition. This microstructural evolution leads to improved plasticity from 1% to 10% without the typical tradeoff between the overall strength and compressive plasticity. Moreover, investigation of the fractured samples indicates that the CCMCu alloy exhibits higher plastic deformability and combinatorial mechanisms for improved plastic behavior. The improved plasticity of CCMCu alloys originates from several deformation mechanisms; i) slip, ii) deformation twinning, iii) strain-induced transformation and iv) shear banding. These results reveal that the mechanical properties of eutectic alloys in the Co-Cr-Mo system can be ameliorated by micro-alloying such as Cu addition.

Abstract
The gene encoding ‘deleted in breast cancer 2' (DBC2), also referred to as RHOBTB2 (Rho-related BTB domain-containing protein 2), is classified as a tumor suppressor gene. DBC2 is a substrate-specific adaptor protein for a novel class of Cullin-3 (CUL3)-based E3 ubiquitin ligases; however, it is unclear if the substrate adaptor function of DBC2 is required for its tumor suppressor activity. Furthermore, the key substrates of DBC2-mediated ubiquitination have yet to be identified. In the present study, we established a genome-wide human cDNA library-based in vitro ubiquitination target screening assay and identified Musashi-2 (MSI2) as a novel ubiquitination target protein of DBC2. MSI2 directly interacted with DBC2, and this interaction promoted MSI2 polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation in breast cancer cells. Overexpression and knockdown experiments demonstrated that DBC2 suppressed MSI2-associated oncogenic functions and induced apoptosis. Immunohistochemistry analysis of a breast cancer tissue microarray revealed that DBC2 and MSI2 protein levels are inversely correlated in both normal breast tissues and breast cancer tissues. Taken together, these findings provide evidence that DBC2 suppresses tumorigenesis in breast cancer by ubiquitinating MSI2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyrexia is a frequent adverse event with combined dabrafenib and trametinib therapy (CombiDT), but little is known of its clinical associations, etiology, or appropriate management. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients on the BRF133220 phase I/II trial of CombiDT treated at the standard dose (150/2) were included for assessment of pyrexia (n = 201). BRAF and MEK inhibitor-naïve patients (n = 117) were included for efficacy analyses. Pyrexia was defined as temperature ≥38°C (≥100.4(°)F) or related symptoms. RESULTS Fifty-nine percent of patients developed pyrexia during treatment, 24% of which had pyrexia symptoms without a recorded elevation in body temperature. Pyrexia was grade 2+ in 60% of pyrexia patients. Median time to onset of first pyrexia was 19 days, with a median duration of 9 days. Pyrexia patients had a median of two pyrexia events, but 21% had three or more events. Various pyrexia management approaches were conducted in this study. A trend was observed between dabrafenib and hydroxy-dabrafenib exposure and pyrexia. No baseline clinical characteristics predicted pyrexia, and pyrexia was not statistically significantly associated with treatment outcome. CONCLUSIONS Pyrexia is a frequent and recurrent toxicity with CombiDT treatment. No baseline features predict pyrexia, and it is not associated with clinical outcome. Dabrafenib and metabolite exposure may contribute to the etiology of pyrexia. The optimal secondary prophylaxis for pyrexia is best studied in a prospective trial.

Abstract
A quartz tuning fork was used instead of cantilever as a force sensor for the atomic force microscope. A tungsten tip was made by electrochemical etching from a wire of 50 µm diameter. In order to have mechanical stability of the tuning fork, it was attached on an alumina plate. The tungsten tip was attached on the inside end of a prong of a tuning fork. The phase shift was used as a feedback signal to control the distance between the tip and sample, and the amplitude was kept constant using a lock-in amplifier and a homemade automatic gain controller. Due to the mechanical stability, the sensor shows a high quality factor (∼10(3)), and the image quality obtained with this sensor was equivalent to that of the cantilever-based AFM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of vascular occlusive diseases, such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Additionally, these conditions are predicted by C-reactive protein (CRP), a general inflammation marker. We hypothesized that the inflammation induced by surgery itself augments vascular occlusive disease. We retrospectively evaluated the relationship between postoperative CRP elevation and postoperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB). METHODS The electronic medical records of 1046 patients who underwent OPCAB were reviewed retrospectively. The relationship between postoperative serum CRP and long-term postoperative MACCE (median follow-up 28 months) was investigated. RESULTS Patients were divided into quartiles according to maximum postoperative CRP levels (<18, 18-22, 22-27, ≥27 mg dl(-1)). The adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were 2.15, 2.45, and 2.81, respectively (P=0.004), compared with the lowest quartile (<18 mg dl(-1)). In the multivariate analysis, the postoperative CRP quartile (HR 2.81; P=0.004), postoperative non-use of statins (HR 1.86; P=0.003), and postoperative maximum troponin I (HR 1.02; P<0.001) independently predicted postoperative MACCE, while preoperative CRP did not (P=0.203). Several parameters were correlated with postoperative maximum CRP level: body temperature (P=0.001) and heart rate (P<0.001) at the end of surgery; intraoperative last lactate (P<0.001) and base excess (P<0.001); and red blood cell transfusion (P=0.019). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative CRP elevation was associated with long-term postoperative MACCE in OPCAB patients. This was mitigated by postoperative statin medication. Furthermore, postoperative CRP elevation was associated with intraoperative parameters reflecting hypoperfusion and inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to assess the outcome of patients with advanced melanoma treated with matched molecularly targeted therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed 160 consecutive patients with metastatic melanoma treated in the phase I program (N = 35 protocols). Treatment was considered to be 'matched' (N = 84) if at least one drug in the regimen was known to inhibit the functional activity of at least one of the patient's mutations. RESULTS Of 160 patients, 134 (83.7%) had adequate tissue for molecular analysis; 69% (110 of 160) had ≥1 mutation: 61.2% (82 of 134), BRAF; 20.7% (23 of 111), NRAS; 2.6% (2 of 77), KIT; 2.3% (1 of 44), KRAS; 20% (1 of 5), GNAQ; 11.1% (1 of 9), P53 and 2.6% (1 of 39), coexisting mutations in BRAF and PIK3CA. Eighty-four patients (52.4%) were treated with matched-targeted agents, most of whom had BRAF mutations (N = 74). Twenty-six percent of patients (41 of 160) achieved a complete or partial remission (CR/PR) [40% (34 of 84)) on a matched phase I protocol versus 9.2% (7 of 76) for those on a non-matched study (P ≤ 0.0001)]. The median progression-free survival (PFS) (95% CI) was longer for patients treated on a matched phase I trial than on their prior first standard treatment [5.27 (4.10, 6.44) versus 3.10 (1.92, 4.28) months, P = 0.023], but not on non-matched phase I treatment. Multivariable analysis showed that matched therapy was an independent predictor of higher CR/PR rates, prolonged PFS and survival. CONCLUSIONS For melanoma patients, especially those with BRAF mutations, administering molecularly matched agents can be associated with better outcomes, including longer PFS compared with their first-line systemic therapy.

Abstract
Although a number of methods using scanning probe lithography to pattern graphene have already been introduced, the fabrication of real devices still faces limitations. We report graphite patterning using scanning probe lithography with control of the gas environment. Patterning processes using scanning probe lithography of graphite or graphene are normally performed in air because water molecules forming the meniscus between the tip and the sample mediate the etching reaction. This water meniscus, however, may prevent uniform patterning due to its strong surface tension or large contact angle on surfaces. To investigate this side effect of water, our experiment was performed in a chamber where the gas environment was controlled with methyl alcohol, oxygen or isopropanol gases. We found that methyl alcohol facilitates graphite etching, and a line width as narrow as 3 nm was achieved as methyl alcohol also contains an oxygen atom which gives rise to the required oxidation. Due to its low surface tension and highly adsorptive behavior, methyl alcohol has advantages for a narrow line width and high speed etching conditions.

Abstract
CRA8503 Background: In preclinical models, the BRAF/MEK inhibitor (i) combination GSK436/GSK212 has demonstrated enhanced activity against BRAF-mutant cancer cells compared to either drug alone, delayed emergence of GSK436 resistance, and prevented proliferative skin lesions attributable to BRAFi exposure. Methods: Eligible patients (pts) had BRAF V600 mutation positive solid tumors. Part 1: pharmacokinetic (PK) drug-drug interaction (DDI) study. Part 2: Dose escalation of continuous daily dosing of the combination followed by expansion cohorts; Part 3: Randomized phase II trial in untreated stage IV melanoma. Results: 45 pts have received ≥ 1 dose of GSK212 + GSK436, including 43 melanoma (all BRAFi naïve), 1 NSCLC and 1 salivary duct carcinoma. PK results of 7 pts in Part 1 showed no effect of GSK212 on single dose of GSK436. There was no clinically meaningful DDI between GSK436 and GSK212 after repeat dosing of the combination (Part 2). GSK436 was dosed 75-150 mg BID in combination with GSK212 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mg QD. The recommended dose was 2 mg QD GSK212 in combination with 150 mg BID GSK436. At 1.5 mg GSK212, there was one DLT, a recurrent grade (G) 2 neutrophilic panniculitis. The only G4 adverse event (AE) was a sepsis-like syndrome with fever/hypotension. G3 AEs included generalized rash (n=2, 4%) and neutropenia (n=2, 4%). Skin toxicity ≥ G2 occurred in 9 (20%) pts; of these, G2 rash (n=4, 8%) and G2 macular rash (n=1, 2%). No cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or hyperproliferative skin lesions have occurred at any dose level. Other common G2 toxicities were pyrexia (n=5, 11%), vomiting (n=2, 4%) and fatigue (n=2, 4%). Of 16 evaluable pts in Part 2, 13 pts had PR and 3 SD for an ORR of 81% (95% CI 54.4%-96.0%) and all but 2 pts remain on study. In 10 evaluable pts who received 150 mg BID GSK436 + ≥1 mg QD GSK212, 9 pts had PR and 1 SD. Conclusions: GSK212 at 2 mg QD combines safely with GSK436 150 mg BID, no SCC thus far and decreased frequency of rash compared to previous trials of single agent GSK436 and GSK212, respectively. The preliminary anti-tumor activity warrants further investigation; the randomized phase II trial (Part 3) is accruing.

Abstract
We applied the scanning probe lithographic technique to a graphite patterning in air and analyzed the patterned sample with the lateral force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The local electric field generated from a tip caused either etching or oxidization depending on the electric field intensity in air. We have found that the frictional force between the tip and local oxidized graphite surface was increased remarkably from lateral force analysis. Also, it was found that the graphene layer was peeled from the graphite surface in the etching process, which could be a potential tool as a top-down nano-fabrication process for the graphene nano device without contamination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Docosahexaenoic acid-paclitaxel (DHA-paclitaxel, Taxoprexin(®)) is made by covalently conjugating the essential fatty acid DHA to the paclitaxel molecule. Preclinical studies of DHA-paclitaxel have demonstrated increased activity relative to paclitaxel and the potential for an improved therapeutic ratio. In the present study, the efficacy and toxicity profiles of DHA-paclitaxel were compared with those of dacarbazine. METHODS In this study, 393 chemonaive patients with metastatic melanoma were randomly assigned to receive either DHA-paclitaxel at a starting dose of 900 mg/m(2) IV on day 1 every 3 weeks or dacarbazine at a starting dose of 1000 mg/m(2) IV on day 1 every 3 weeks. The primary end point of the study was the comparison of overall survival (OS). RESULTS No significant difference in OS was noted between patients in the DHA-paclitaxel and dacarbazine arms. Similarly, there were no significant differences in response rate, duration of response, time to progression, and time to treatment failure between the two drugs. Safety results of the two drugs were as predicted from prior studies. Myelosuppression was more common with DHA-paclitaxel. CONCLUSIONS DHA-paclitaxel was not superior to dacarbazine. We conclude that further studies with the drug on an every 3-week schedule in melanoma are not warranted.

Abstract
9067 Background: Preclinical and clinical studies showed that liposomal encapsulation of vincristine sulfate (VCR) results in increased drug circulation time and accumulation of VCR at the tumor site. Marqibo has been administered safely at 2.25 mg/m2, a dose exceeding that typically employed for VCR ( dose capped at 2 mg), with tolerable clinical toxicities consistent with VCR. Of the 27 previously treated patients with metastatic melanoma in the Marqibo pharmacokinetic studies, 3 patients had a tumor response, including one patient with uveal melanoma metastatic to the lung that experienced a complete response. Methods: Patients with metastatic uveal melanoma with no more than one prior systemic therapy were enrolled. Patients with controlled brain metastases were allowed. Marqibo (2.25 mg/m2 by 1-hour intravenous infusion, no dose capping) was administered every 14 days until tumor progression. Responses were assessed every 6 weeks using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Toxicity was assessed at least as frequently as before each dose. Results: Preliminary data is available for 22 enrolled patients (73% female). Median age was 65 years (range 38–79), 23% were previously treated with systemic chemotherapy, 86% had liver metastasis and 96% had M1c disease. Baseline serum LDH levels were elevated in 73% and were more than 2 × ULN in 37% of the patients. Twenty-one patients were evaluable for response; one patient discontinued the treatment after a single dose of therapy for toxicity without tumor progression. No patients died of drug toxicity while on the study. Twelve patients (57%) had stable disease. Estimated median survival is 6.4 months. Fourteen patients are alive, 2 for more than 12 months. Treatment related side effects were mostly grade 1 or 2; peripheral neuropathy was the only grade 3 toxicity, seen in 18% of the patients. The hematologic toxicities were minor; no neutropenia or thrombocytopenia was seen. Conclusions: Marqibo is well tolerated as single agent therapy in patients with advanced stage IV uveal melanoma. Its impact on the progression-free and overall survival of these critically ill patients will be presented. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
9021 Background: PLX4032 is an oral, highly selective inhibitor of oncogenic V600EBRAF kinase currently in phase I trial. V600EBRAF mutation activates Raf/MEK/ERK pathway in multiple tumor types. We evaluated the relationship between PK, PD (pERK, Ki67, FDG-PET), tumor histology and clinical activity following PLX4032 administration in a phase I trial. Methods: In the phase I trial, 6 melanoma pts with V600EBRAF were treated with PLX4032 daily at several dose levels and tumor biopsies (baseline vs. day 15) were assessed histologically and by semi-quantitative IHC analysis (modified H-score) for pERK and Ki67. The first 4 pts received a crystalline formulation of PLX4032; the last 2 pts received a formulation with increased bioavailability. Plasma PK parameters were collected at frequent time points on Days 1, 8 and 15. FDG-PET was performed on Days 1 and 15 on last 2 pts. Results: In the first 4 pts, no histological changes were observed with treatment and all developed disease progression. All had decreased percentage of Ki67 positive nuclei (pre-Rx, range 20–60%, median 45%; post-Rx, range 5–25%, median 12.5%) and 3 of the 4 had decreased pERK levels (pre-Rx, range 50–100, median 60; post-Rx, range 10–40, median 11). Mean PLX4032 AUC0–24h ∼ 126 μM*h was in the range for preclinical tumor stasis but below the threshold for shrinkage. In the last 2 pts, striking tumor necrosis and tumor melanosis was observed in the post-Rx samples. One pt remains on study with a confirmed PR, the other showed a clinical response before disease progression occurred in cycle 2. The percentage of Ki67 positive nuclei declined substantially (pre-Rx, 30% and 50% to post-Rx, 5% and 3%), as did the levels of pERK in the pt with PR (pre-Rx: 70 to post-Rx: 2). Mean PLX4032 AUC0–24h was well above the preclinical threshold in the range of 500 - 1000 μM*h. Both pts had decreased FDG uptake on D15. Conclusions: Clinical activity of PLX4032 treatment correlates with drug exposure levels as measured by AUC0–24h and was associated with histological changes in V600EBRAF positive melanomas on Day 15. Reduction of pERK, along with evidence of reduced proliferation and FDG uptake was observed. Further analysis of PD markers with additional pts at the MTD is planned. [Table: see text]

Abstract
9020 Background: TKI258 (dovitinib lactate), is a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor of VEGF receptors-1,2,3, FGF receptors-1, 2, 3, PDGFR-β, and c-KIT. A phase I study was conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the biological activity and the preliminary efficacy of TKI258 in patients with advanced melanoma. A panel of plasma biomarkers of angiogenesis and soluble receptors were evaluated to determine the pharmacodynamic effect of TKI258. Methods: Patients were treated orally with 200, 300, 400 or 500 mg/day on a once daily continuous dose schedule. The MTD was defined at 400 mg/day. Plasma samples from 43 patients were collected. Plasma concentration of TKI258 was measured by LC/MS/MS. Plasma VEGF, placental growth factor (PLGF), basic FGF (bFGF), and soluble VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 (sVEGFR1 and 2), and c-Kit were measured by multiplex assays using the Meso-Scale Discovery platform. Plasma FGF23 was evaluated by ELISA as a pharmcodynamic marker of FGFR1 inhibition. Results: Following 400 mg or 500 mg continuous daily dosing, the mean plasma exposure (AUC24hr) was approximately 3000 ng/mL*h and 4100 ng/mL*h, respectively. No accumulation in TKI258 plasma exposure was observed at doses of 400mg or below, while accumulation up to 2.5-fold was observed on day 15 following the 500 mg daily dose. At the end of the first treatment cycle, mean plasma VEGF, PLGF and FGF23 levels increased over baseline by 100%, 198% and 68%, respectively, while mean plasma sVEGFR2 levels decreased by 15% in patients treated with 400 and 500 mg/day TKI258. Further analysis of correlations with pharmacokinetic and clinical parameters is ongoing. Conclusions: TKI258 therapy is associated with increases of plasma VEGF and PLGF as well as decreases of sVEGFR2 suggesting VEGFR inhibition. Induction of plasma FGF23 suggest that FGFR may be inhibited at doses of 400 mg/day and above. This panel of circulating proteins may have utility as pharmacodynamic biomarkers of TKI258 activity in patients with advanced melanoma. [Table: see text]

Abstract
e20008 Background: Interleukin-2–based biochemotherapy (BCT) is a common therapy for patients (pts) with metastatic melanoma (MM). BCT induced nausea and vomiting (N/V) remains a significant problem (26% grade 3 and 4). Palonosetron (PALO) is a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist indicated for the prevention of N/V associated with chemotherapy. The recommended dosing schedule of PALO for patients on BCT is unknown. Methods: Chemo-naïve MM pts undergoing their first BCT cycle were randomized to receive PALO 0.25 mg as premedication intravenously on days 1 and 4, or the same dose on days 1, 3, and 5. The BCT regimen included: cisplatin (20 mg/m2) and vinblastine (1.6 mg/m2) on days 1–4, dacarbazine (800 mg/m2) on day 1, interleukin-2 (9 MIU/m2/day) by continuous infusion on days 1–4 and interferon alpha (5 MU/m2/day) on days 1–5. A nausea episode was defined as nausea of any severity reported by the patient or documented by the nursing staff at anytime. Pts with N/V due to known central nervous system or gastrointestinal metastases were excluded. The use of additional antiemetics was recorded. Pts were followed for 21 days (days 1–7 as inpatients). The Functional Living Index-Emesis (FLIE), an emesis- and nausea-specific questionnaire, was completed starting on day 1. Results: 30 pts were enrolled. Median age was 53 years (range 23–64). Eighteen (60%) were men. The incidences of BCT related N/V and those of nausea interfering with appetite, sleep, physical activity, social life and enjoyment of life are summarized by schedule of PALO in the table below. Conclusions: PALO administered on alternate days was more effective at controlling BCT-related N/V and reduced the need for PRN antiemetics. Better control of N/V reduced the impact of N/V on patient functioning in this population. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
9032 Background: GPNMB is expressed on melanoma cells and represents a potential target for ADCs. CR011-vcMMAE is a fully-human monoclonal antibody to GPNMB conjugated to the tubulin inhibitor monomethylauristatin E (MMAE). Dose limiting toxicity in Phase I (n=32) was rash; tumor shrinkage including one partial response (PR) was observed. We now report Phase II data at the maximum tolerated dose of 1.88 mg/kg iv q3w. Methods: Eligible pts had unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma and had received no more than 1 prior cytotoxic regimen but any number of other therapies. Pts received CR011-vcMMAE until disease progression (PD) or intolerable toxicity. The primary endpoint was overall response (ORR) by RECIST using a minimax two-stage design (p0=0.5; p1=0.2, α=β=0.1) with 18 patients in the first stage and a total of 32 pts. Secondary endpoints included progression free survival (PFS) and duration of response. Results: 36 pts (median age 67 years [range 37–79]; 94% stage IV; 68% M1c) were treated for a median of 2.4 months (m)(range 0.5–7.5m). 18 pts discontinued (14 PD, 2 consent, 1 adverse event [AE], 1 stable disease [SD]) and 18 pts were ongoing. The study met the criteria for advancement to the second stage; 4 PRs (1 unconfirmed) and 19 SD (range 1.7–7.5 mo) have been observed; final ORR is pending. The unconfirmed PR was in a pt with 96% tumor reduction and PD 6 weeks later. Median PFS was 4m. The most common AEs were rash (81%), fatigue (72%), alopecia (63%) and pruritus (56%). The most common grade 3/4 AEs were neutropenia (22%) and rash (19%). Grade 2 or higher rash was associated with longer PFS. Conclusions: CR011-vcMMAE is active and well-tolerated in heavily pretreated pts with advanced melanoma. Rash may be a useful biomarker for activity. More frequent dosing is being explored.

Abstract
9026 Background: Inhibition of Signal transduction pathways at multiple levels may be a more effective therapeutic cancer strategy for advanced cancer patients. Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor and temsirolimus, an inhibitor of critical survival pathways, are targeted compounds with single agent anti-tumor activity in several solid tumors. Inhibition of mutant B-Raf and the AKT signaling pathway has been effective in vitro with melanoma cell lines. Therefore, we designed a phase I/II study of the combination of sorafenib and temsirolimus to inhibit multiple pathways for greater clinical efficacy.Methods: Patients (pts) with stage IV or unresectable or recurrent stage III melanoma and ECOG performance status of 0 to 1 were eligible. Pts with treated brain metastases were eligible if they had not progressed for 3 months. Sorafenib was given orally twice daily and temsirolimus was given intravenously once a week, both starting on day 1, with a 4-week cycle. Responses were assessed every 2 cycles per RECIST. Results: To date, 22 pts have been enrolled and treated. Median age was 56.5, and 17 were male. Median ECOG PS was 1. The MTD doses were sorafenib 400 mg in AM / 200 mg in PM daily and temsirolimus 25 mg IV weekly. The dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) included thrombocytopenia, hand-foot syndrome (HFS), serum transaminase elevation and hypertriglyceridemia. Other common adverse events were dry skin, fatigue, taste alteration, anorexia, flatulence, diarrhea, skin rash, insomnia, neuropathy, myalgia, and headaches, anemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia and hypophosphatemia. There were 9 pts with stable disease among 21 evaluable pts for response. Conclusions: Sorafenib and temsirolimus can be administered concomitantly although with significant toxicity at higher dose levels. Currently, pts are enrolled in a dose expansion cohort. Pharmacokinetic data will be presented. Supported in part by NCI grant UO1 CA062461 and N01 CM17003. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Despite rapidly increasing incidence rates of breast cancer, recent immigrants such as Korean-American (KA) women report disproportionately lower utilization of screening tests compared with other ethnic groups. Early screening of breast cancer for this population may be greatly facilitated by indigenous lay health workers (LHWs). We conducted an intervention trial with a 6-month follow-up. Trained LHWs recruited 100 KA women 40 years of age or older who had not had a mammogram during the past 2 years. Ninety-three completed follow-up questionnaires. A 120-min, in-class education combined with LHW follow-up counseling and navigation assistance through the health care system was provided. Rates of breast cancer screening behaviors significantly increased at 6 months (P < 0.001); changes between pre- and post-intervention were 31.9% for mammography, 23% for clinical breast examination and 36.2% for breast self-examination. Modesty toward screening significantly decreased over time, but we did not find any significant differences in breast cancer knowledge and beliefs before and after the intervention. Results support the efficacy of this neighborhood-based, culturally sensitive intervention. Further research should seek to replicate these findings and to incorporate more self-care skills such as health literacy when designing an intervention program for linguistically and culturally isolated immigrant women.
