Abstract
BACKGROUND This trial investigated the efficacy and safety of weekly cetuximab combined with two different schedules of paclitaxel/carboplatin for stage IIIB/IV non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS A total of 168 patients with previously untreated stage IIIB/IV NSCLC were randomized to arm A, cetuximab (400 mg/m(2) day 1 followed by weekly 250 mg/m(2)) + paclitaxel (Taxol) (225 mg/m(2))/carboplatin (AUC6) day 1 every 3 weeks or arm B, same cetuximab regimen plus paclitaxel (100 mg/m(2)) days 1, 8, and 15 every 3 weeks and carboplatin (AUC6) day 1 every 4 weeks. Treatment continued for a four-cycle maximum. Patients with a complete response, partial response, or stable disease after four cycles could receive cetuximab 250 mg/m(2)/week until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS Median PFS was 4.7 and 4.3 months for arms A and B, respectively (6-month PFS, 27.3% versus 30.9%). Median overall survival was 11.4 versus 9.8 months for arms A and B, respectively; estimated 1-year survival, 47.7% versus 39.3%; and objective response rate, 29.6% versus 25%. The regimen was well tolerated with rash and hematologic toxicity being most common. CONCLUSIONS This study did not meet the prespecified benchmark of 35% 6-month PFS rate; both combination schedules of cetuximab plus paclitaxel/carboplatin were feasible and equivalent for treating advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
18213 Background: Pts with unresectable IIIB and IV NSCLC with PS 0–1 are usually treated with chemotherapy (CH) ± targeted therapy (TT) with overall survival (OS) improvement. Upon completion, standard of care is observation. Pts eventually progress within 9 to 12 months. If still in good PS, they are treated with salvage CH or TT; otherwise, they receive palliative care. We evaluated 12 patients with PR to initial therapy, found to have small volume residual disease (SVRD) defined as one or two sites to receive “consolidation” local therapy with Cyberknife Radisurgery (CRS). Methods: Since September 2006, 12 pts with NSCLC, stage IIIB unresectable (3) or IV (9), median age 64 (range 61–78), adenocarcinoma (7), squamous cell carcinoma(5), 9 males, all ECOG PS 0–1, were treated with induction CH (carboplatin/paclitaxel ± bevacizumab, cisplatin/gencitabine) with PR. CT/PET imaging showed SVRD. Eight patients had only one site; four had 2. These patients received CRS consolidative therapy to the following areas: lung-9, mediastinal node - 3, adrenal-2, liver-2. CRS dose depended on the disease site. Peripheral lung lesions - 54 Gy in 3 fractions (fx); medistinal lesions - 50 Gy in 4 fx; adrenal - 24 Gy in 3 fx and liver - 16 Gy. in 1 fx. The primary end point was efficacy (response rate, time to progression in or out of the radiosurgical fields, and OS) compared with historical matched controls. The secondary end point was safety and tolerability of CRS. Results: After a median follow up period of 65 days, all evaluable pts are still alive and without clinical or radiological (CT/PET) evidence of disease progression in or outside the sites of CRS. The treatment was well tolerated with no Grade 3–5 complications. PS remained 0–1 in all patients. Conclusions: Patients with advanced NSCLC benefit from systemic therapy with symptoms control and improved QoL and OS. Upon completion of therapy, observation is the current standard or care. Patients with good PS and SVRD tolerated CRS consolidation therapy remarkably well and may benefit with added symptoms control, improved TTP and even OS. At the June meeting efficacy and toxicity data of a projected population of 30+ patients, with a medial follow up of 8 months, will be presented. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
17070 Background: Bexarotene (bex) is a subclass specific, synthetic rexinoid analogue, that preferentially binds and modulates the expression of RXR subclass of receptors α, β, and γ. It induces concentration-dependent repression of multiple genes (cyclin D1/D3, total EGFR, pEGFR) inhibiting cell growth, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis, inducing differentiation, and apoptosis in tumor cells. Several phase-I/II trials suggested increased survival in patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods: Stage-IIIB with pleural effusion & Stage-IV chemo-naïve patients, ECOG 0–2, were enrolled and treated with carboplatin IV AUC-6 d-1 and paclitaxel IV 100 mg/m2 d-1, 8, 15, every 28-d for 4 cycles. Pts were randomized using a 1:1 design to bex PO 400 mg/m2/d either concurrent (C) from Day 1 or sequential (S) at the completion of chemo, for up to a year. Results: 56 patients were enrolled; median age 62.3 (range 41–86), 48 TNM Stage IV, 38 males, 50 ECOG PS 0–1. Of 51 pts evaluable for response, 30 (58%) achieved PR (C: 15 and S: 15); 16 (31%) showed SD (C: 8 and S: 8), and 5 (9.5%) had PD (C: 3 and S: 2). Thirty-two (63%) patients have expired as of 12/31/05. Based on ITT, 40 evaluable pts showed a median TTP of 169 days (C: 166.5 and S 172); The MS for the entire group is 342 days (11.42 mo (C: 12.8 and S: 10.53). Currently, 10 pts are still alive between 407 to 1036 days from registration on the trial. The treatment was well tolerated; overall, AEs were reported in 48% of pts in the S arm and 51% in the C arm. The incidence of Gr 3–4 AEs, regardless of the treatment arm, was < 5%. There were no treatment-associated deaths. Conclusions: Our data suggests a better ORR, TTP, and improvement in MS, when bex is added to carboplatin/ paclitaxel, regardless of concurrent or sequential administration, compared with chemo alone. ORR was not compromised by bex administration and in fact it was above average reported for similar phase-II & -III studies. Toxicity is easily managed. [Table: see text]

Abstract
17086 Background: Medical resources allocated to lung cancer management are limited, scattered and uncoordinated, resulting in sub-optimal care. The MDC offers patients access to multi-disciplinary care (Pulmonary Medicine, Thoracic Surgery, Medical and Radiation Oncology) to operate in an efficient, cost effective way. Methods: 2004 Cancer Registry data on time to treatment (TTT) for lung cancer was 53 days. A project with the primary endpoint of reducing the TTT from 53 to 30 days was designed. Secondary endpoints were improvement in treatment planning; enhancement in clinical trials referral, and patient satisfaction. On 9/15/05 the MDC open its doors. The project was assigned to this clinic including patients with solitary lung nodules, lung, esophageal, and mediastinal cancers, mesothelioma, and other thoracic malignancies. Results: 54 pts were seen in the first 90 days; median age 60 (range 41–82), 29 males; 32 (59%) lung cancer (94% NSCLC), 8 (15%) esophageal cancer, 6 other diagnosis, and 6 abnormal radiological findings without diagnosis. The TTT of 30 evaluable patients is 26.36 days. Of the 30 NSCLC the TNM stage was: 4 IA, 5 IB, 2 each IIA/IIB, 8 (27%) IIIA, 3 (10%) IIIB, and 6 (20%) IV. Fifteen of the cases had pathologic staging. Out of 9 pts with cstage I, 7 (78%) had definitive surgery; 4 pts confirmed to have pstage IB, were evaluated for adjuvant chemo. Four pts with cstage II had surgery, 2 of them adjuvant chemo. Of the 11 pts with cstage III, 5 (46%) received concurrent CHRT, 1 (stage IIIA) underwent surgery f/b chemo, 2 received chemo alone and 2 refused therapy. Out of 6 pts with stage IV, 5 (83%) received systemic therapy. Conclusions: The TTT of 26.36 days represents a 50.26% improvement from our institutional benchmark of 53 days. Updated and expanded data on our project primary and secondary endpoints will be presented at the meeting. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system was developed for the simultaneous detection of target sequences in genetically modified soybean (Roundup Ready) and maize (MON810, Bt176, Bt11, and GA21). Primer pairs were designed to amplify the junction regions of the transgenic constructs analyzed and the endogenous genes of soybean (lectin) and maize (zein) were included as internal control targets to assess the efficiency of all reactions. This multiplex PCR has constituted the basis for an efficient platform for genetically modified organism traceability based on microarray technology. In particular, the ligation detection reaction combined to a universal array approach, using the multiplex PCR as target, was applied. High specificity and sensitivity were obtained.

Abstract
Duane syndrome (MIM 126800) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by primary strabismus and other ocular anomalies, associated with variable deficiency of binocular sight. We have recently identified a < 3 cM smallest region of deletion overlap (SRO) by comparing interstitial deletions at band 8q13 in two patients (one described by Vincent et al, 1994, and the other by Calabrese et al, 1998). Here we report on another patient with Duane syndrome carrying a reciprocal translation t(6;8)(q26;q13). FISH and PCR analyses using a YAC contig spanning the SRO narrowed the Duane region to a < 1 cM interval between markers SHGC37325 and W14901. In addition, the identification and mapping of two PAC clones flanking the translocation breakpoint, allowed us to further narrow the critical region to about 40 kb. As part of these mapping studies, we have also refined the map position of AMYB, a putative candidate gene, to 8q13, centromeric to Duane locus. AMYB is expressed in brain cortex and genital crests and has been previously mapped to 8q22.

Abstract
We have isolated a few cDNAs from different human tissues, transcribed from the first intron of HIRA, a gene deleted in the DiGeorge syndrome. These cDNAs are produced by an intronic gene (22k48) which is transcribed by the HIRA opposite strand and is itself arranged in exons and subjected to alternative splicing. The longest continuum cDNA sequence we obtained is 3.6 kb long and contains 3 different exons and 2 introns. 22k48 cDNA is composed of several tandemly arranged repeated elements (Alu, LINEs, CAn) surrounding a unique sequence. In situ hybridization showed the presence of 22k48 RNA in the cytoplasm of CNS and PNS neurons. 22k48 RNA is able to bind cytoplasmic proteins in the range of 45 to 60 kDa. 22k48 is a new member of the small group of genes that are transcribed but not translated, and its haploinsufficiency could contribute to the pathogenesis of the DiGeorge syndrome.

Abstract
We report the genomic organization, RNA and protein expression patterns of the gene encoding for the human homolog of the yeast ubiquitin fusion-degradation protein-1 (UFD1L). This enzyme is involved in a ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway (UFD), firstly described in yeast. The human UFD1L gene is organized into 12 exons ranging in size from 33 to 161 bp. Sequence analysis of the 5'-flanking region of the gene revealed a high GC content, multiple CCAAT-binding motifs, CREB, CFT, and AP-2 sites. RNA transcripts were detected in all tissues and cell lines examined, including thymus, thymocytes, T- and B-cells, fibroblasts, chorionic villi, and amniocytes. In Western blot, the UFD1L antibody demonstrated the presence of multiple protein isoforms in all the tested tissues. Expression profile and promoter characteristics suggest UFD1L is a housekeeping gene with implications in the pathogenesis of DiGeorge/velo-cardio-facial syndrome, due to 22q11.2 deletions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the efficacy and safety of 21 monthly cycles of pamidronate therapy in patients with advanced multiple myeloma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with stage III myeloma and at least one lytic lesion received either placebo or pamidronate 90 mg intravenously administered as a 4-hour infusion monthly for 21 cycles. At study entry, the patients were stratified according to whether they were to receive first-line (stratum 1) or second-line (stratum 2) antimyeloma chemotherapy. Skeletal events (pathologic fracture, radiation or surgery to bone, and spinal cord compression) and hypercalcemia were assessed monthly. RESULTS The results of the first nine previously reported cycles are extended to 21 cycles. Of the 392 randomized patients, efficacy could be evaluated in 198 who received pamidronate and 179 who received placebo. After 21 cycles, the proportion of patients who developed any skeletal event was lower in the pamidronate-group (P = .015). The mean number of skeletal events per year was less in the pamidronate-group (1.3) than in placebo-treated patients (2.2; P = .008). Although survival was not different between the pamidronate-treated group and placebo patients overall, stratum 2 patients who received pamidronate lived longer than those who received placebo (14 v 21 months, P = .041). Pamidronate was safe and well tolerated during the 21 cycles of therapy. CONCLUSION Long-term monthly infusions of pamidronate as an adjunct to chemotherapy are superior to chemotherapy alone in reducing skeletal events in stage III multiple myeloma patients, and may improve the survival of patients on salvage therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skeletal complications are a major clinical manifestation of multiple myeloma. These complications are caused by soluble factors that stimulate osteoclasts to resorb bone. Bisphosphonates such as pamidronate inhibit osteoclastic activity and reduce bone resorption. METHODS Patients with stage III multiple myeloma and at least one lytic lesion received either placebo or pamidronate (90 mg) as a four-hour intravenous infusion given every four weeks for nine cycles in addition to antimyeloma therapy. The patients were stratified according to whether they were receiving first-line (stratum 1) or second-line (stratum 2) antimyeloma chemotherapy at entry into the study. Skeletal events (pathologic fracture, irradiation of or surgery on bone, and spinal cord compression), hypercalcemia (symptoms or a serum calcium concentration > or = 12 mg per deciliter [3.0 mmol per liter]), bone pain, analgesic-drug use, performance status, and quality of life were assessed monthly. RESULTS Among 392 treated patients, the efficacy of treatment could be evaluated in 196 who received pamidronate and 181 who received placebo. The proportion of patients who had any skeletal events was significantly lower in the pamidronate group (24 percent) than in the placebo group (41 percent, P < 0.001), and the reduction was evident in both stratum 1 (P = 0.04) and stratum 2 (P = 0.004). The patients who received pamidronate had significant decreases in bone pain and no deterioration in performance status and quality of life. Pamidronate was tolerated well. CONCLUSIONS Monthly infusions of pamidronate provide significant protection against skeletal complications and improve the quality of life of patients with stage III multiple myeloma.

Abstract
A cohort of 31 cystic fibrosis patients showing pancreatic sufficiency and bearing an unidentified mutation on at least one chromosome was analyzed through denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of the whole coding region of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene, including intron-exon boundaries. Three new and 19 previously described mutations were detected. The combination of these with known mutations detected by other methods, allowed the characterization of mutations on 56/62 (90.3%) chromosomes. Among those identified, 17 can be considered responsible for pancreatic sufficiency, since they were found in patients carrying a severe mutation on the other chromosome. Among these presumed mild mutations, eight were detected more than once, R352Q being the most frequent in this sample (4.83%). Intragenic microsatellite analysis revealed that the six chromosomes still bearing unidentified mutations are associated with five different haplotypes. This may indicate that these chromosomes bear different mutations, rarely occurring among cystic fibrosis patients, further underlying the molecular heterogeneity of the genetic defects present in patients having pancreatic sufficiency.

Abstract
Melanoma growth stimulatory activity (MGSA) was originally described as an endogenous growth factor for human melanoma cells. To test the hypothesis that an MGSA autocrine loop is responsible for the partial freedom from growth control observed in nevocytes and melanoma cells, MGSA growth response and MGSA mRNA/protein levels were examined in these cells compared with normal melanocytes. As a single agent, or in combination with other factors, MGSA stimulated the growth of normal human epidermal melanocytes as well as other growth promoters for melanocytes. Nevocytes were not as responsive to exogenous MGSA as melanocytes. MGSA mRNA was minimal or not detected in cultured normal melanocytes, although the protein was present when the cells were cultured in the presence of serum/growth factors and absent when serum/growth factors were omitted. In contrast, MGSA mRNA was constitutively expressed in the absence of exogenous growth factors in cultures established from benign intradermal and dysplastic nevi and melanoma lesions in different stages of tumor progression. Nevus cultures contained immunoreactive MGSA protein in the presence of serum but were negative or only faintly positive in the absence of serum. Melanoma cell lines were positive for MGSA protein in both the presence and the absence of serum. Thus, continued expression of both MGSA mRNA and MGSA protein in the absence of exogenous hormones or serum factors may correlate with partial freedom from growth control exhibited by malignant melanocytes.

Abstract
This report demonstrates that the expression of melanoma growth stimulatory activity (MGSA) mRNA can be modulated in a positive fashion in the Hs294T human melanoma cell line by PDGF and MGSA. There is close correlation between MGSA expression and the pattern of cell growth in Hs294T cells.

Abstract
Melanoma growth stimulatory activity (MGSA) is a mitogenic polypeptide secreted by Hs294T human melanoma cells. Comparison of the N-terminal sequences of the 13 and 16 kd MGSA species with the cDNA sequence revealed that the mature form of human MGSA is maximally 73 amino acids long. Expression of the cDNA in mammalian cells results in the secretion of this peptide with mitogenic activity. MGSA is structurally related to the platelet-derived beta-thromboglobulin and to several other polypeptides. These factors may constitute a family of growth factors. MGSA mRNA was detected in a variety of cell types. The level of MGSA mRNA in melanoma cells is strongly elevated by treatment with MGSA. MGSA is the gene product of a recently detected gene gro. The gene was mapped to chromosome 4 (region q13----q21). This same region also contains genes for two of the structurally related factors, for c-kit, a receptor for an as yet unidentified ligand, and for 'piebald trait', an inherited skin pigmentation disorder.
