Abstract
e15067 Background: The IRIFAFU regimen produced in MCRC pts a consistent activity (RR, 33% [95% CI, 27–39%], PFS, 7.4 [95% CI, 6.5–8.3] mo.) in 2 consecutive randomized SICOG trials . Bev was proven to significantly improve the efficacy of IFL regimen. Here we report the safety and activity results of the BIFF regimen as first-line treatment of MCRC. Patients: From Feb 2007 to Jul 2008, 95 pts with MCRC were treated: so far, 85 pts were evaluated for safety: M/F were 47/38, median age (range) was 64 (35–78) yrs. Fifty-six pts had a colon, and 29 pts a rectal carcinoma. ECOG PS was 0 (63 pts, 74%), or 1 (22 pts, 26%). Thirty-four (40%) pts had 1 site, 33 (39%) 2 sites, and 18 (21%) pts ≥3 sites of disease. Liver was involved in 66 (78%), lung in 23 (24%) pts. Twenty-one (25%) pts had an unresected primary (colon 13, rectum 8). Bev 5 mg/kg (1-h), and IRI 180 mg/sqm (1-h) were given IV on day 1, 6S-FA 250 mg/sqm (2-h), and FU 850 mg/sqm (bolus) were given IV on day 2 biweekly for a maximum of 12 cycles. Bev was continued until progression, severe toxicity, or refusal. Results: A median of 9 (range, 1–12) cycles of BIFF were delivered. G4 hematologic toxicity was: neutropenia (21%), and febrile neutropenia (10%). G≥3 non-hematologic toxicity was: diarrhea 15%, vomiting 7%, stomatitis 4%, hypertension 1%. No severe episodes of bleeding were registered. Among 81 assessable pts, 5 CRs (3 in liver, 1 in liver & nodes, 1 in liver & lung), and 41 PRs were registered, giving a RR of 57% (95% CI, 45–68%). Overall, 71/81 (88%, 95% CI, 77–93%) pts obtained a disease control. Liver mets resection, or primary resection, was safely performed in 3 pts and in 2 pts, respectively. After a median follow- up of 12 (range, 6–24) mo., median FFS was 8.4 (95% CI, 6.8–10.0), and median PFS was 14.1 (95% CI, 9.6–18.6) mo. With only 14 deaths, OS results are still immature. Conclusions: Unexpected side effects of the BIFF regimen were not registered. Addition of Bev increased the activity without worsening the tolerability of IRIFAFU combination as compared with our previous experience. Efficacy of BIFF was comparable with that reported with other Bev plus IRI-based combinations. Updated follow-up will be presented. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
3590 Background: We have previously reported that OXAFAFU regimen significantly prolonged the overall survival of MCC patients (pts) in comparison with IRIFAFU regimen (Comella, Ann Oncol 2005). Moreover, the OXXEL regimen showed promising activity in phase II study (Comella, Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2005). Comparison of these two regimens in terms of safety and activity is the aim of the present trial. Methods: Pts with MCC were randomly treated with: oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 iv on day (D) 1, levo-folinic acid 250 mg/m2 plus 5-fluorouracil 850 mg/m2 bolus iv on D 2 (OXAFAFU); or oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 iv on D 1, Xeloda 1,000 mg/m2 twice daily po from D 1 (evening) to D 11 (morning). Treatment was delivered every 2 weeks up to progression, or for a maximum of 12 cycles. Results: From May 2004 to December 2005, 191 eligible pts were recruited (OXAFAFU, 96 pts; OXXEL, 95 pts). Characteristics of pts were well balanced in OXAFAFU vs OXXEL arm: primary colon, 74% vs 72%; PS 0/1–2, 57/43% vs 65/35%; previous adjuvant CT, 24% vs 20%; liver metastases, 80% vs 83%; ≥ 2 metastatic sites, 54% vs 49%. At this interim analysis, with a median number of 8 (range, 1–12) cycles delivered in both arms, 143 pts (OXAFAFU, 73; OXXEL, 70) were assessed for safety. In OXAFAFU vs OXXEL arm, occurrence of WHO grade ≥ 3 toxicity was: neutropenia, 29% vs 3%; anemia, 2% vs 7%; thrombocytopenia 3% vs 7%; diarrhea, 4% vs 13%; vomiting, 4% vs 3%; hand-foot syndrome, 1% vs 7%. Conclusions: At this interim analysis, the OXXEL regimen appeared to produce significantly less neutropenia than the OXAFAFU regimen, at a price of an acceptable non-hematologic toxicity. Accrual will continue up to reaching the final sample size of 300 pts. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We conducted a multicenter phase II study to evaluate the clinical efficacy, toxicity, and dose intensity of a new weekly schedule of docetaxel and gemcitabine as first-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer patients. METHODS We enrolled 58 patients, 52% of whom had received a previous anthracycline-containing chemotherapy. The treatment schedule was: docetaxel 35 mg/m2 and gemcitabine 800 mg/m2 i.v. on days 1, 8, 15 every 28 days. RESULTS All patients were assessable for toxicity and 56 for efficacy. Overall response rate was 64.3% with 16.1% of complete responses and 48.2% of partial responses. Median survival was 22.10 months (95% CI: 15.53-28.67) and median time to tumor progression was 13.6 months (95% CI: 10.71-16.49). The most common hematological toxicity was neutropenia (no febrile neutropenia), which occurred in 28 patients (48.3%) but grade 3-4 in only 8 patients (14%). Alopecia, the most common nonhematological toxicity, occurred in 20 (34.5%) patients, but only 5 patients (8.6%) experienced grade 3 alopecia. CONCLUSION The activity of docetaxel and gemcitabine in metastatic breast cancer is confirmed. The promising results of the employed schedule, in agreement with other published studies, need to be further confirmed within a phase III study.

Abstract
Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare endocrine malignancy characterized by the exaggerated metabolic effects of the parathyroid glands. The preoperative differential diagnosis between parathyroid carcinoma and primary hyperparathyroidism is often difficult because many of the signs and symptoms are very similar. Intraoperative differentiation is obscured by the strict anatomic and histologic criteria required for diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma. We have encountered three patients with parathyroid carcinoma during the last 10 years and managed them successfully. Two of them presented with recurrence of hypercalcemia, one 11 years after and the other 3 years after the primary operation for hyperparathyroidism; both patients were eventually diagnosed with parathyroid carcinoma. The third case was suspected as primary hyperparathyroidism preoperatively but confirmed as carcinoma subsequent to histologic examination.

Abstract
The baroreflex was observed in neonatal swine as young as 4 h of age. Bolus injections of Na nitroprusside (NP) and phenylephrine (PE), induced changes in blood pressure and elicited changes in both heart rate and in cervical sympathetic and splanchnic discharge; changes in sympathetic discharge were reflected in altered power spectral magnitude. Measures of heart rate showed that the magnitude of the PE-induced decreases was positively correlated with increasing postnatal age. The results indicate that the baroreflex, as indicated by changes in sympathetic discharge and heart rate, is present in early neonatal swine.

Abstract
Cervical sympathetic nerve discharges in kittens were examined using power spectral techniques to describe the frequency components of nerve activities and to obtain evidence of modulation by central rhythm generators. Peaks in sympathetic spectra appeared in the 4-11 Hz band; however, coherences between sympathetic nerves occurred at 4-5 Hz, while that between sympathetic and phrenic nerves occurred at 8-9 Hz. These findings indicate modulation by sympathetic and inspiratory rhythm generators.

Abstract
The effects of two levels of Saffan anesthesia (standard recording level: 2-4 mg/kg/min, and 10X recording level) and a single level of pentobarbital (5 mg/kg) on the power spectral density of efferent phrenic discharge were investigated in piglets aged from less than 1 day to 50 days. The phrenic high frequency oscillation (HFO) was present in decerebrate, unanesthetized piglets and in piglets anesthetized with Saffan, albeit reduced at 10 times recording level, but was absent under pentobarbital. The results indicate that Saffan does not have a significantly depressant effect on the phrenic HFO in developing swine.

Abstract
We report the results obtained in the treatment of 52 advanced non-small-cell lung cancer patients with the combination chemotherapy VP16 (120 mg/m2 i.v., days 1-2-3), epirubicin (50 mg/m2 i.v., day 1) and procarbazine (100 mg/m2 p.o., days 1 through 8). The courses were repeated every 21 days. No patient had been pretreated. A median of 5 courses was administered. Partial response was obtained in 33 % and no change in 21 % of patients. Median remission time was 6.5 months, and median survival of responders was 10 months. The best response rate and median survival were obtained in the lowest grade performance status patients and in locally advanced disease patients. Major chemotherapy related toxicities were grade 1–2 leukopenia and grade 2–3 alopecia.
