Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is a time-dependent neurological disorder often misdiagnosed in the emergency setting. Electroencephalography (EEG) is often not available on a 24/7 basis, and Salzburg criteria may at times miss the diagnosis. Here, we tested the accuracy of hyperperfusion on CT perfusion imaging (CTP) in the identification of NCSE against Salzburg criteria, to define its potential role in a pragmatic diagnostic workflow. METHODS We enrolled consecutive patients with suspected acute seizure or seizure disorder undergoing brain imaging with CTP and EEG from January 2021 to March 2023. EEG recordings, Salzburg criteria and CTP hyperperfusion were rated and adjudicated by two independent experts blinded to patient status. A reference standard including all clinical, lab, imaging, EEG and therapeutic data was used to adjudicate NCSE diagnosis. Sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy, positive and negative predictive values (NPV) were calculated for CTP hyperperfusion and Salzburg criteria versus NCSE adjudicated according to reference standard. RESULTS Seventy-seven patients were enrolled. Among 21 NCSE cases, 17 were adjudicated according to Salzburg criteria (81%) and 4 received NCSE diagnosis according to reference standard. Agreement between EEG and CTP emerged in 16/21 NCSE cases, reaching sublobar level in 37.5% of cases. Receiver operator curve analysis suggested good accuracy for CTP hyperperfusion for the diagnosis of NCSE (AUROC 0.79, 95% CI 0.69 to 0.89). CTP hyperperfusion had a high NPV for NCSE (NPV 0.97, 95% CI 0.86 to 1). CONCLUSION CTP hyperperfusion may be implemented in the emergency fast-track to rule out NCSE, given very high NPV. Further validation studies are needed to evaluate CTP application in real-world setting for NCSE codes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nearly half of people with epilepsy (PWE) are expected to develop seizure clusters (SC), with the subsequent risk of hospitalization. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use, effectiveness and safety of intravenous (IV) brivaracetam (BRV) in the treatment of SC. METHODS Retrospective multicentric study of patients with SC (≥ 2 seizures/24 h) who received IV BRV. Data collection occurred from January 2019 to April 2022 in 25 Italian neurology units. Primary efficacy outcome was seizure freedom up to 24 h from BRV administration. We also evaluated the risk of evolution into Status Epilepticus (SE) at 6, 12 and 24 h after treatment initiation. A Cox regression model was used to identify outcome predictors. RESULTS 97 patients were included (mean age 62 years), 74 (76%) of whom had a history of epilepsy (with drug resistant seizures in 49% of cases). BRV was administered as first line treatment in 16% of the episodes, while it was used as first or second drug after benzodiazepines failure in 49% and 35% of episodes, respectively. On the one hand, 58% patients were seizure free at 24 h after BRV administration and no other rescue medications were used in 75 out of 97 cases (77%) On the other hand, SC evolved into SE in 17% of cases. A higher probability of seizure relapse and/or evolution into SE was observed in patients without a prior history of epilepsy (HR 2.0; 95% CI 1.03 - 4.1) and in case of BRV administration as second/third line drug (HR 3.2; 95% CI 1.1 - 9.7). No severe treatment emergent adverse events were observed. SIGNIFICANCE In our cohort, IV BRV resulted to be well tolerated for the treatment of SC and it could be considered as a treatment option, particularly in case of in-hospital onset. However, the underlying etiology seems to be the main outcome predictor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is misdiagnosed in >50% of cases in the emergency department. Computed tomographic perfusion (CTP) has been implemented in the hyperacute setting to detect seizure-induced hyperperfusion. However, the diagnostic value of CTP is limited by the lack of thresholds for hyperperfusion and high interrater variability. This pilot case-control study aims at identifying the diagnostic value of reverse Tmax (rTmax) in differentiating NCSE from acute ischemic stroke in the hyperacute setting. METHODS We enrolled patients with NCSE (Salzburg criteria-based diagnosis) and stroke cases 1:1 matched for clinical features and time of presentation. CTP standard maps (mean transit time [MTT]-cerebral blood volume-cerebral blood flow [CBF]) and rTmax maps were elaborated and rated by two experts in CTP blinded to the final diagnosis. Hyperperfusion was adjudicated for standard CTP maps as an increase in CBF and a decrease in MTT, and for rTmax as the presence of a black area on 3-, 2-, and 1-s threshold maps. Cronbach alpha was used for interrater agreement; receiver operating curve analysis was run to measure accuracy with area under the curve. RESULTS Overall, 34 patients were included (17 NCSE, 17 stroke; time from onset to imaging = 2 h for both groups). People with NCSE were older and more frequently had a history of epilepsy. NCSE patients had hyperperfusion on rTmax maps in 11 of 17 cases versus zero of 17 in stroke. Intra- and interrater reliability was higher for rTmax than for standard CTP maps (κ = 1 vs. κ = .6). rTmax was 82% (95%CI = 67-97%) accurate in predicting NCSE versus stroke in the hyperacute setting. Agreement between neuroimaging and electroencephalography (EEG) was limited at a hemispheric level for standard CTP maps, whereas rTMax had agreement with EEG largely reaching the sublobar level. SIGNIFICANCE rTmax mapping might represent a reliable tool to spot NCSE-induced hyperperfusion with a threshold-based reproducible approach. Further studies are needed for validation and implementation in the differential diagnosis of focal neurological deficit in the hyperacute setting.

Abstract
Background The presence of KRASG12C mutation in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) correlates with poor outcome. Although different selective inhibitors are under clinical development, the optimal treatment remains uncertain. Thus, we conducted a retrospective analysis in a large cohort of patients with KRASG12C mCRC treated in 12 Italian oncology units. Patients and methods Patients with unresectable mCRC harboring KRASG12C mutation receiving a first-line chemotherapy doublet or triplet between 2011 and 2021 were included in the study. Evaluation of overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) analysis was carried out. Results A total of 256/6952 (3.7%) patients with mCRC displayed KRASG12C mutation; of these, 111 met the inclusion criteria. The ORR of first-line therapy was 38.7% (43/111). Median PFS (mPFS) was 9 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 7.5-10.5 months]. After progression, only 62% and 36% of the patients are fit to receive second or third lines of treatment, with limited clinical benefit. Median OS (mOS) was 21 months (95% CI 17.4-24.6 months). In patients receiving first-line triplet chemotherapy, ORR was 56.3% (9/16), mPFS was 13 months (95% CI 10.3-15.7 months) and mOS was 32 months (95% CI 7.7-56.3 months). For irinotecan-based doublets, ORR was 34.5 (10/29), mPFS was 9 months (95% CI 6.4-11.6 months) and mOS was 22 months (95% CI 16.0-28.0 months). With oxaliplatin-based doublets ORR was 36.4% (24/62), mPFS was 7 months (95% CI 4.6-9.4 months) and mOS was 18 months (95% CI, 13.6-22.4 months). Conclusion Patients with KRASG12C-mutant mCRC had a disappointing response to standard treatments. Within the limitations of a retrospective study, these results suggest that first-line chemotherapy intensification with FOLFOXIRI is a valid option in fit patients. KRASG12C mutation is rare and occurs in 3.7% of the study population. The presence of KRASG12C mutation is correlated with an aggressive disease, with reduced response to chemotherapy. Only 62% and 36% of patients with KRASG12C-mutant mCRC are fit to receive second or third lines of treatment, respectively. The use of chemotherapy triplets is associated with improved outcomes compared with chemotherapy doublets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND TRIBE and TRIBE-2 studies demonstrated higher benefit from FOLFOXIRI (fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan)/bevacizumab compared with FOLFIRI (fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan) or FOLFOX/bevacizumab as an upfront option for metastatic colorectal cancer patients, with more toxicities. We focused on the incidence and longitudinal dynamics of neutropenia and febrile neutropenia (FN) in the two studies, to evaluate their clinical relevance, the magnitude of impact of FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab, and the role of risk factors in predicting their occurrence. METHODS The overall incidence of grade 3-4 (G3-4) neutropenia and FN, the time to their onset, the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and the association with risk factors were evaluated in the overall population and according to treatment arm. FN episodes were assessed by Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) score. RESULTS Among 1155 patients, 568 (49%) received FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab. Overall, 410 (35%) experienced G3-4 neutropenia and 70 (6%) FN, 21 (2%) at high risk. FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab was associated with higher incidence of neutropenia (51% versus 21%, P < 0.001), FN (8% versus 4%, P = 0.02), and high-risk FN [18 (3%) versus 3 (1%), P = 0.015]. No related deaths were observed. The first episode of G3-4 neutropenia and FN occurred mainly in the first 2 months in both arms. Longitudinal analysis showed different patterns of evolution over cycles between the arms (P < 0.001) G3-4 neutropenia being more frequent in the first cycles with FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab. Older patients (P = 0.01) and females (P < 0.001) had a significantly higher risk of G3-4 neutropenia. No significant interaction effect between arm and analysed risk factors in terms of risk of G3-4 neutropenia or FN was observed. The incidence of FN among older females receiving FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab was 12%. Neither G3-4 neutropenia nor FN impaired efficacy in terms of overall response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival. CONCLUSIONS FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab has a higher risk of G3-4 neutropenia and FN than doublets/bevacizumab. FN occurred in <10% of patients, mostly as low-risk episodes. A closer monitoring during the first 2 months is recommended; prophylactic use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor may be considered for older females.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The safety and efficacy outcome of elderly metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients fit enough to receive combination chemotherapy plus biological agents is an issue of growing interest. Also, gender-specific differential toxicity and efficacy of anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-based upfront treatments need to be explored. PATIENTS AND METHODS Valentino was a multicenter, randomized, phase II trial, investigating two panitumumab-based maintenance strategies following first-line panitumumab plus FOLFOX in RAS wild-type mCRC patients. We carried out a subgroup analysis, aimed at assessing the differences in efficacy, safety and quality of life (QoL) according to age (<70 versus ≥70 years) and gender (male versus female). Efficacy endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and overall response rate (ORR); safety endpoints were rates of any grade and grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs). RESULTS No significant differences in terms of PFS, OS and ORR were observed between patients aged <70 or ≥70 years and the effect of the maintenance treatment arm on survival outcomes was similar in the two subgroups. The safety profile of both induction and maintenance treatment and the impact on QoL were similar in elderly and younger patients. No significant differences in PFS, OS, ORR or clinical benefit rate were observed according to gender. A significantly higher rate of overall grade 3/4 AEs (P = 0.008) and of grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia (P = 0.017), any grade and grade 3/4 neutropenia (P < 0.0001) and any grade conjunctivitis (P = 0.033) was reported in female as compared to male patients. Conversely, we reported a significantly higher incidence of any grade skin rash (P = 0.0007) and hypomagnesemia (P = 0.029) in male patients. CONCLUSIONS The upfront choice of an anti-EGFR-based doublet chemotherapy followed by a maintenance strategy represents a valuable option in RAS wild-type mCRC irrespective of gender and age, though a careful evaluation of patients to maximize the risk/benefit ratio is warranted.

Abstract
Watershed infarcts can involve the brainstem, with lesions distributed across the terminal supply from the vertebral and cerebellar arteries. Brain imaging can highlight a comma-shaped lesion at the edge of vertebral and posteroinferior cerebellar artery vascularization territory. Such peculiar MRI lesion shape might suggest a watershed hypoperfusion etiology and direct workup towards causes of hemodynamic impairment, including postural hypotension, cardiac failure, or vertebral artery origin occlusion.

Abstract
Background: The phase II J003 (N = 169) and phase III RECOURSE (N = 800) trials demonstrated a significant improvement in survival with trifluridine (FTD)/tipiracil (TPI) versus placebo in patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer. This post hoc analysis investigated pharmacokinetic data of FTD/TPI exposure and pharmacodynamic markers, such as chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) and clinical outcomes. Patients and methods: A total of 210 patients from RECOURSE were enrolled in this substudy. A limited sampling approach was used, with three pharmacokinetic samples drawn on day 12 of cycle 1. Patients were categorized as being above or below the median area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) for FTD and TPI. We conducted a post hoc analysis using the entire RECOURSE population to determine the correlations between CIN and clinical outcome. We then carried out a similar analysis on the J003 trial to validate the results. Results: In the RECOURSE subset, patients in the high FTD AUC group had a significantly increased CIN risk. Analyses of the entire population demonstrated that FTD/TPI-treated patients with CIN of any grade in cycles 1 and 2 had significantly longer median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) than patients who did not develop CIN and patients in the placebo group. Patients who required an FTD/TPI treatment delay had increased OS and PFS versus those in the placebo group and those who did not develop CIN. Similar results were obtained in the J003 cohort. Conclusions: In RECOURSE, patients with higher FTD drug exposure had an increased CIN risk. FTD/TPI-treated patients who developed CIN had improved OS and PFS versus those in the placebo group and those who did not develop CIN. Similar findings were reported in the J003 cohort, thus validating the RECOURSE results. The occurrence of CIN may be a useful predictor of treatment outcomes for FTD/TPI-treated patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy is the standard treatment of high-risk colon cancer (CC). A shorter duration (3 months) can achieve a similar outcome [in terms of relapse-free survival (RFS)] to a longer duration. This study reports the overall survival (OS) analysis of the three or six colon adjuvant (TOSCA) phase III study. It assessed different adjuvant chemotherapy durations in patients with resected high-risk stage II and stage III CC. MATERIAL AND METHODS TOSCA was an open-label, phase III, multicentre, non-inferiority trial conducted in 130 Italian centres. Patients were randomly assigned, in a 1 : 1 ratio, to receive 3 months of standard doses of FOLFOX/CAPOX, or 6 months of FOLFOX/CAPOX. Patients with histologically confirmed high-risk stage II and III CC were included, with RFS being the primary end point. OS was a secondary end point. RESULTS From June 2007 to March 2013, 3759 patients were accrued. At a median follow-up of 7 years, the hazard ratio (HR) for RFS of the 3-month versus 6-month arms was 1.13; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.99-1.29, P for non-inferiority = 0.380, P for superiority = 0.068, crossing the non-inferiority limit of 1.20. This result did not allow us to reject the null hypothesis of the inferiority of the 3-month arm. The HR for OS of the 3-month versus 6-month arms was 1.09 (95% CI 0.93-1.26, P for superiority = 0.288). At the last follow-up analysis, the absolute OS difference between arms was <1%. CONCLUSIONS The present analysis of the TOSCA trial does not indicate any significant difference in OS between the treatment groups. The extra benefit provided by the longer treatment should be balanced against the extra toxicity of more prolonged therapy. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, registration number: NCT0064660.

Abstract
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension results from a spinal CSF leak and usually presents with orthostatic headache, although acephalgic presentations have anecdotally been reported. The underlying low CSF volume, rarely, leads to serious complications such as cerebral venous thrombosis and coma. We report a patient presenting with cerebral venous thrombosis secondary to acephalgic spontaneous intracranial hypotension. An epidural blood patch was performed; nonetheless, the patient intracracal condition deteriorated to coma and neuroimages showed a deep brain swelling with midbrain distortion, subsequently complicated by intracranial pontine hemorrhage.

Abstract
The recent outbreak of Covid-19 has represented a major challenge for the countries affected by the disease, not only in terms of loss of human life, economic downturn, and constraint on individual freedom, but also for the great pressure on the national health systems and hospitals. The 380 kDa virus has been a perfect storm, especially for those national health systems used to working with limited resources and high intensity rhythms, such as Italy. For the first time in the new century, a virtually unknown fast-spreading disease has caused a public health emergency thus forcing most countries to deal with an insurmountable logistic gap. Hence, every branch of Medicine, even though not directly involved in the treatment, has been called upon to provide its contribution to resolve the crisis. It is now becoming more apparent that Covid-19 is not solely a lung disease, but a complex systemic disease involving several organs and systems. This is due to an abnormal inflammatory response which eventually leads to multisystemic coagulopathy which mainly, but not uniquely, targets the lungs. Although the pathophysiology of this syndrome is still not fully understood, macrophages and their immune complex system seem to play a key role. It is not yet clear why some patients develop the violent immune response which results in pneumonitis while others do not. There are clues indicating that the systemic hyper-inflammation defined as macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), or cytokine storm, requires an increase in choline consumption to synthesize phosphatidylcholine and stimulate phagocytosis, organelle biogenesis, secretory functions, and endocytosis. 18F-Fluorocholine is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring choline normally used for PET/CT imaging of prostate cancer patients. 18F-Fluorocholine could image and quantify the macrophage activity in pulmonary interstitial infiltrates of Covid-19 pneumonia. If the hypothesis is confirmed experimentally, 18F-Fluorocholine PET/CT could be used to in vivo image and quantify the degree of lung inflammation and potentially stratify the gravity of this disease.

Abstract
Background Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), defined as absolute neutrophils count divided by absolute lymphocytes count, has been reported as poor prognostic factor in several neoplastic diseases but only a few data are available about unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients (pts). The aim of our study was to evaluate the prognostic and predictive role of NLR in the TRIBE trial. Patients and methods Pts enrolled in TRIBE trial were included. TRIBE is a multicentre phase III trial randomizing unresectable and previously untreated mCRC pts to receive FOLFOXIRI or FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab. A cut-off value of 3 was adopted to discriminate pts with low (NLR < 3) versus high (NLR ≥ 3) NLR, as primary analysis. As secondary analysis, NLR was treated as an ordinal variable with three levels based on terciles distribution. Results NLR at baseline was available for 413 patients. After multiple imputation at univariate analysis, patients with high NLR had significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) [hazard ratio (HR) 1.27 (95% CI 1.05-1.55), P = 0.017] and overall survival (OS) [HR 1.56 (95% CI 1.25-1.95), P < 0.001] than patients with low NLR. In the multivariable model, NLR retained a significant association with OS [HR 1.44 (95% CI 1.14-1.82), P = 0.014] but not with PFS [HR 1.18 (95% CI 0.95-1.46), P = 0.375]. No interaction effect between treatment arm and NLR was evident in terms of PFS (P for interaction = 0.536) or OS (P for interaction = 0.831). Patients with low [HR 0.84 (95% CI 0.64-1.08)] and high [HR 0.73 (95% CI 0.54-0.97)] NLR achieved similar PFS benefit from the triplet and consistent results were obtained in terms of OS [HR 0.83 (95% CI 0.62-1.12) for low NLR; HR 0.82 (95% CI 0.59-1.12) for high NLR]. Conclusion This study confirmed the prognostic role of NLR in mCRC pts treated with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in the first line, showing the worse prognosis of pts with high NLR. The advantage of the triplet is independent of NLR at baseline.

Abstract
Background Recognition of rare molecular subgroups is a challenge for precision oncology and may lead to tissue-agnostic approval of targeted agents. Here we aimed to comprehensively characterize the clinical, pathological and molecular landscape of RET rearranged metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Patients and methods In this case series, we compared clinical, pathological and molecular characteristics of 24 RET rearranged mCRC patients with those of a control group of 291 patients with RET negative tumors. RET rearranged and RET negative mCRCs were retrieved by systematic literature review and by taking advantage of three screening sources: (i) Ignyta's phase 1/1b study on RXDX-105 (NCT01877811), (ii) cohorts screened at two Italian and one South Korean Institutions and (iii) Foundation Medicine Inc. database. Next-generation sequencing data were analyzed for RET rearranged cases. Results RET fusions were more frequent in older patients (median age of 66 versus 60 years, P = 0.052), with ECOG PS 1-2 (90% versus 50%, P = 0.02), right-sided (55% versus 32%, P = 0.013), previously unresected primary tumors (58% versus 21%, P < 0.001), RAS and BRAF wild-type (100% versus 40%, P < 0.001) and MSI-high (48% versus 7%, P < 0.001). Notably, 11 (26%) out of 43 patients with right-sided, RAS and BRAF wild-type tumors harbored a RET rearrangement. At a median follow-up of 45.8 months, patients with RET fusion-positive tumors showed a significantly worse OS when compared with RET-negative ones (median OS 14.0 versus 38.0 months, HR: 4.59; 95% CI, 3.64-32.66; P < 0.001). In the multivariable model, RET rearrangements were still associated with shorter OS (HR: 2.97; 95% CI, 1.25-7.07; P = 0.014), while primary tumor location, RAS and BRAF mutations and MSI status were not. Conclusions Though very rare, RET rearrangements define a new subtype of mCRC that shows poor prognosis with conventional treatments and is therefore worth of a specific management.

Abstract
Aims and Background Rarely are conclusions from clinical trials summarized in international consensus conferences and promptly transferred to patient care. The adjuvant therapy for colorectal cancer used in daily clinical practice in Italy is described and compared with the recommendations of the 1990 NIH Consensus Conference. Patients and Methods We audited prescriptions of adjuvant systemic therapies for Italian colorectal cancer patients in 82 centers during a fixed one-week period. Results Among 434 patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy there were 139 (42.5%) colon cancer patients with N- and 169 (51.7%) with N+ regional nodal involvement. Treatment at academic centers, a young age, T4 and a low total number of lymph nodes removed at surgery were the factors potentially justifying the decision for adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II colon cancer patients. The most common chemotherapy used was a bolus of 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid for 6 months (75.8%). Adjuvant radiotherapy was not administered to 37 (38.5%) of 96 patients with stage II and III rectal cancer. Conclusions The study shows that a substantial proportion of patients on adjuvant treatment at a certain time point in a large enough sample of Italian centers are stage II (potential over-treatment) and that an under-treatment of stage II and III rectal cancer patients (lack of radiotherapy) occurs too often in daily clinical practice in this country.

Abstract
Background and Purpose—
As a reliable scoring system to detect the risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombectomy for ischemic stroke is not yet available, we developed a nomogram for predicting symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation who received bridging of thrombectomy with intravenous thrombolysis (training set), and to validate the model by using a cohort of patients treated with direct thrombectomy (test set).
Methods—
We conducted a cohort study on prospectively collected data from 3714 patients enrolled in the IER (Italian Registry of Endovascular Stroke Treatment in Acute Stroke). Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was defined as any type of intracerebral hemorrhage with increase of ≥4 National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score points from baseline ≤24 hours or death. Based on multivariate logistic models, the nomogram was generated. We assessed the discriminative performance by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.
Results—
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, onset-to-end procedure time, age, unsuccessful recanalization, and Careggi collateral score composed the IER-SICH nomogram. After removing Careggi collateral score from the first model, a second model including Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score was developed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the IER-SICH nomogram was 0.778 in the training set (n=492) and 0.709 in the test set (n=399). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the second model was 0.733 in the training set (n=988) and 0.685 in the test set (n=779).
Conclusions—
The IER-SICH nomogram is the first model developed and validated for predicting symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombectomy. It may provide indications on early identification of patients for more or less postprocedural intensive management.

Abstract
PURPOSE Because the role of the primary tumour location in the adjuvant setting has not been clearly established in colon cancer, we analysed the clinical outcome according to the primary tumour location from three Italian trials assessing adjuvant therapy in colon cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were assessed globally and in each trial, according to right-sided, transverse and left-sided primary colon cancer. Analysis was planned to provide overall and stage-specific results. RESULTS Individual data of 5239 patients were included in this analysis. The right-sided tumours were 1540 (29%), tumours originating in the transverse were 815 (16%) and left-sided tumours were 2884 (55%). At the multivariate analysis, DFS findings from the comparison of the right-sided versus left-sided tumours (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.00; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.89-1.14) were not statistically associated with clinical outcomes in the overall population. On the contrary, OS findings, from the comparison of the right-sided versus left-sided tumours, were significantly associated with outcomes (HR = 1.20; 95% CI = 1.04-1.39). In stage II patients, there was no difference in terms of DFS and OS among the three different tumour locations, whereas in stage III patients, the left-sided tumours showed an improved prognosis in terms of OS (HR: 1.36 95% CI = 1.14-1.62, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION This is the largest analysis demonstrating a prognostic effect of the tumour location on patients with colon cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. Nevertheless, the effect is limited to OS in stage III colon cancer. In stage II tumours, the primary location has a lesser impact. The transverse tumours should be prognostically considered in between the right-sided and left-sided tumours.

Abstract
Aims and background Recent preclinical data have suggested that lonidamine may potentiate the activity of mitomycin C in human colon cancer cell lines LoVo and HT29. Study design A phase II study was carried out in 14 patients with advanced colorectal cancer pretreated with fluorouracil and folinic acid. Treatment consisted of lonidamine, 600 mg po, followed after 2 h by mitomycin, 20 mg/m2 by iv bolus, followed by lonidamine, 150 mg tid for 5 days; the cycle was repeated every 6 weeks. Results No objective response was seen. Three patients had stable disease; the median survival for the whole group was 4 months. Although hematologic toxicity was negligible, lonidamine-related side effects were moderate to severe in most patients and mainly represented by myalgia and gastric pain. Discussion Despite a sound preclinical rationale, this schedule of lonidamine and mitomycin C was ineffective and toxic in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. More experimental data about lonidamine are needed in order to design more effective regimens based on the combination of this interesting drug with other anticancer agents.

Abstract
Thirty previously untreated patients with advanced measurable gastric cancer were given a combination chemotherapy consisting of 5-fluorouracil, 400 mg/m2, and leucovorin, 200 mg/m2 iv on days 1 to 3, mitomicyn-C, 10 mg/m2 on day 1 (every other cycle) and adriamycin, 40 mg/m2 on day 2, repeated every 21 days. The overall response rate was 46 % (14/30; 95 % confidence limits: 28 %-64 %) including 4 patients with a complete remission. Eight patients progressed. Median duration of remission (CR+PR) was 10 months, with a median survival of 13, 8 and 4 months for CR + PR, NC and PD, respectively. Main toxicities were leukopenia (WHO grade III-IV in 36 % of the patients) and alopecia. One patient died from myocardial infarction after an adriamycin cumulative dose of 480 mg/m2. No other treatment-related death occurred. L-FAM2 is an effective combination for advanced gastric carcinoma. Further studies based on the association of leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil in combination with other active drugs are warranted.

Abstract
Aims and background The phase II trial was designed to evaluate the activity of combined oxaliplatin (L-OHP), continuous infusion (CI) ± bolus 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and levo-folinic acid (IFA) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer progressing after one or more lines of 5FU-based chemotherapy. Patients and methods We designed two contemporary studies: in the former we enrolled patients previously treated with 1 line of chemotherapy, and in the latter, patients previously treated with 2, 3 and 4 lines. Seventy-six consecutive patients were enrolled: 45 received L-OHP (85 mg/m2 iv 2 h on day 1) + I-FA (100 mg/m2 iv 2 h on days 1 and 2) + 5FU iv bolus (400 mg/m2 days 1 and 2) + 5FU (600 mg/m2 CI 22 h days 1 and 2 (FOLFOX 4); 31 received L-OHP (100 mg/m2 iv 2 h on day 1) + I-FA (250 mg/m2 iv 2 h on days 1 and 2), followed by 5FU (1500 mg/m2 CI 24 h days 1 and 2 (FOLFOX 2). The treatment was recycled every 2 weeks and continued until progression and/or unacceptable toxicity or patient preference. The primary end point was activity (tumor growth control [TGC]: partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD]); the secondary end points were time to progression (TTP), overall survival (OS) and toxicity. Results Forty-five patients in 2nd line (22 FOLFOX 4, 23 FOLFOX 2), 23 (17 FOLFOX 4, 6 FOLFOX 2) in 3rd, 4 in 4th and 1 in 5th line were assessable; 3 were lost to follow-up. In 15 patients (11 FOLFOX 4, 4 FOLFOX 2), disease involved the liver only. A total of 533 courses were administered with a range of 1-14 in FOLFOX4 and 1-12 in FOLFOX2; dose intensity was 92.85%, and the total dose of the administered L-OHP was 98.29%. As a 2nd line treatment, FOLFOX 4 achieved TGC in 72.8% of the patients (PR, 18.2%; SD, 54.6%), with a median TTP of 6 months and a median OS of 7 months, whereas in the FOLFOX 2 group these figures were 78.3% (PR 21.8%, SD 56.5%), and 5 and 9 months. As a 3rd line treatment, FOLFOX 4 produced TGC in 41.1% of patients (PR 23.5%, SD 17.6%), with a median TTP of 5 months and median OS of 7+ months, whereas FOLFOX 2 obtained respective values of 50% (PR 16.7%, SD 33.3%), 7 and 9 months. As a 4th line of treatment, TGC was achieved in 2 patients (1 PR, 1 SD); the patient in 5th line therapy obtained a SD. With “de Gramont” as the first-line regimen, patients assessable were 24 in FOLFOX 4 and 18 in FOLFOX 2. In the former population, TGC was 70.8% (PR 37.5%, SD 33.3%), with a TTP of 6 months and OS of 10 months, whereas with FOLFOX2 these values were 61.1% (PR 5.6%, SD 55.5), 5 and 7 months. In patients with liver involvement only, FOLFOX 4 obtained TGC in 63.6% of cases (with a TTP of 7 months and OS of 6+ months), FOLFOX 2 in 100% (with a TTP of 9.5 months and OS of 13.5+ months). Both schedules exhibited an acceptable toxicity: neurologic, hematologic and hepatic grade 3 side effects occurred in a limited number of patients, with a higher frequency in the FOLFOX 2 group. Conclusions Treatment with L-OHP, CI ± bolus 5FU and I-FA was well tolerated. The activity in terms of TGC was interesting and comparable with results reported in the literature for the standard treatment for 2nd line, i.e. irinotecan alone. Treatment was effective in 2nd line and in patients previously treated with more than two chemotherapy lines; in particular, treatment was active in patients with hepatic disease only. Although the two schedules seemed to achieve the same benefit with the same tolerance, we could not define from the study the better regime.
