Abstract
BACKGROUND In a Spanish Lung Cancer Group (SLCG) phase II trial, the combination of BRCA1 and receptor-associated protein 80 (RAP80) expression was significantly associated with outcome in Caucasian patients with nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The SLCG therefore undertook an industry-independent collaborative randomized phase III trial comparing nonselected cisplatin-based chemotherapy with therapy customized according to BRCA1/RAP80 expression. An analogous randomized phase II trial was carried out in China under the auspices of the SLCG to evaluate the effect of BRCA1/RAP80 expression in Asian patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligibility criteria included stage IIIB-IV NSCLC and sufficient tumor specimen for molecular analysis. Randomization to the control or experimental arm was 1 : 1 in the SLCG trial and 1 : 3 in the Chinese trial. In both trials, patients in the control arm received docetaxel/cisplatin; in the experimental arm, patients with low RAP80 expression received gemcitabine/cisplatin, those with intermediate/high RAP80 expression and low/intermediate BRCA1 expression received docetaxel/cisplatin, and those with intermediate/high RAP80 expression and high BRCA1 expression received docetaxel alone. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS Two hundred and seventy-nine patients in the SLCG trial and 124 in the Chinese trial were assessable for PFS. PFS in the control and experimental arms in the SLCG trial was 5.49 and 4.38 months, respectively [log rank P = 0.07; hazard ratio (HR) 1.28; P = 0.03]. In the Chinese trial, PFS was 4.74 and 3.78 months, respectively (log rank P = 0.82; HR 0.95; P = 0.82). CONCLUSION Accrual was prematurely closed on the SLCG trial due to the absence of clinical benefit in the experimental over the control arm. However, the BREC studies provide proof of concept that an international, nonindustry, biomarker-directed trial is feasible. Thanks to the groundwork laid by these studies, we expect that ongoing further research on alternative biomarkers to elucidate DNA repair mechanisms will help define novel therapeutic approaches. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT00617656/GECP-BREC and ChiCTR-TRC-12001860/BREC-CHINA.

Abstract
348 Background: OJ is a relatively frequent complication in patients with advanced malignancies that usually causes refractory symptoms and can make chemotherapy (CT) treatment difficult. In the last years, the use of different non-surgical techniques, such as PTBD or ERCP, is increasing. Methods: From Sep-05 to Aug-10, patients with OJ due to advanced digestive cancers who underwent ERCP or PTBD were included. Baseline characteristics, acute and late complications and outcome were retrospectively collected. Jaundice resolution was recognized if bilirubin value decreased to at least grade 1, after the procedure. Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the date of the technique to the date of death or last follow-up. Results: Seventy-six consecutive patients were collected. Male/Female: 52p/24p; Mean age 63.5 y-o (range: 33-85); ECOG performance status 0/1/2/3: 1/37/27/11; Primary tumour: pancreas 30, biliary tract 18, colorectal 16, gastric 7, and gall bladder 5, and of them, 13% were unresectable locally advanced and 87% metastatic. ERCP was used in 59% of the patients and PTBD in 49% and the proportion of intrahepatic and extrahepatic causes were 1:1. Mean hospital stay was 11.3 days (95% CI 1-21). Twenty- six patients (32%) suffered a complication during the hospital stay: 9 cholangitis, 7 catheter obstruction, 2 bleeding, 2 acute pancreatitis and 6 other, and 8 died of procedure-related adverse event. After hospital discharge there were 34% infections, 17% catheter obstruction and 8% other. After the technique OJ was solved (bilirubin nadir) in 49% of the patients and 55% underwent palliative CT. Median OS was 30 weeks (95% CI: 17-42). Conclusions: PTBD and ERCP are appropriate techniques in patients with malignant OJ and can resolve an absolute contraindication for palliative CT. However, major complications are frequent and a relatively high mortality rate should be expected. Therefore an adequate patient selection is crucial to prevent adverse events.

Abstract
304 Background: G (30-minute infusion) plus E improves survival in patients with APC compared with G alone. In a recent phase III trial, G-FDR showed a trend to better OS compared with standard G (6.2 vs. 4.9 months, HR 0.83, p=0.04), although the study was underpowered to detect great difference in OS. Based on our previous experience with G-FDR, we decided to evaluate the combination of G-FDR plus E, after E approval for APC. Methods: Patients with previously untreated pathologically confirmed APC, locally advanced (LAPC) or metastatic (MPC), and ECOG PS 0-2 were included. G 1500 mg/m2 was given by 150-min infusion (10 mg/m2/min) on days 1, 8, and 15 every 28 days combined with E 100 mg/day orally. Treatment modifications for G-FDR were planned according with previously Tempero's phase II trial, and as described in prescribing information for E. Results: 62 pts were included (36M/26F), with a median age of 63 y-o (range 37-78). ECOG PS 0/1/2: 19/40/3. LAPC/MPC: 16/46. All except one had measurable disease. ORR was 13% (8 PR), 95% CI: 4.7-21.3, and there were 34 (55%) SD. Mean relative dose intensity for G was 0.76 and 0.90 for E. Main hematologic toxicities 3/4 per pt: anaemia 12/0, thrombocytopenia 7/4, neutropenia 18/7. Acneiform rash 1/2/3 occurred in 16/16/3 pts. Other relevant adverse events were (grade 2/3/4): diarrhoea 18/3/0, mucositis 5/1/0, infection 9/8/1, thrombosis 1/4/1 and vomiting 6/4/0. There were three treatment-related deaths (septic shock, cholangitis, and bilateral pulmonary embolism). Ten pts (all LAPC) received RT after ≤ 6 cycles, all with concomitant capecitabine 825 mg/m2 bid. In 4 pts salvage surgery were performed: 2 R0, 1 R1 and 1 R2. Median PFS was 4.9 months (95% CI: 3-6.7), 7.9 m for LAPC and 2.5 m for MPC (p = 0.004). Median OS was 10 months (95% CI: 7.1-12.9), 17.5 m for LAPC and 7 m for MPC (p = 0.019). OS was significantly shorter in males (p = 0.01) and in pts taking major opioids (p = 0.027). There was a trend to better OS in pts who developed skin rash grade ≥ 2 (p = 0.078). Conclusions: In this noncomparative study, G-FDR plus E is a feasible regimen in APC with an acceptable toxicity and notable activity. G-FDR seems to increase hematologic toxicity compared with standard infusion. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
548 Background: Locally advanced rectal carcinoma is associated with high rate of abdomino-perineal amputation. We analyzed a cohort of patients (pts) diagnosed of locally advanced rectal cancer, treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (QT-RT) with capecitabine and oxaliplatin (XELOX) followed by four cycles of adjuvant XELOX after surgery. Methods: Patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (T3-T4 and/or N+) were treated with oxaliplatin (50mg/m2 day 1, 8, 22 and 29) and capecitabine (1,650mg/m2 on days 1 to 14 and 22 to 35) combined with pelvic radiotherapy (180 cGy/day; 45Gy in 25 fractions). Surgery was scheduled 4 to 6 weeks after completion QT-RT. Four cycles of adjuvant XELOX were administered (capecitabine 2,000mg/m2 on days 1 to 14 and oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 on day 1) every 3 weeks. Main end points assessed were: rate of sphincter preservation, pathologic complete response (pCR) rate and the feasibility of postoperative chemotherapy. Results: From March 2007 to April 2010, 98 pts with locally advanced rectal cancer were included. M/F: 66/32; ECOG 0/1: 19/79; median age: 64 (38-81); upper/mid/distal rectum: 13/50/35; clinical stage: cT3/N- 9, cT2-T3/N+ 72, cT4/N- 4, cT4/N+ 13. Full dose of preoperative QT-RT was administered in 93 pts (95%). Main toxicities were grade 1/2 neurotoxicity (56/4) and grade 2/3 diarrhea (23/10). After treatment 96 pts underwent surgery. Sphincter preservation, R0 resections and pCR were achieved in 57, 93 pts and 17 (18%) patients, respectively, and 65 pts (66%) received all 4 cycles of adjuvant XELOX. Grade 3/4 toxicities included diarrhea 3/0, vomiting 2/0, neurotoxicity 5/0, hand-foot syndrome 1/0, neutropenia 4/0 and thrombopenia 0/4. 3-year progression-free and overall survival were 66% and 72%, respectively. No toxic deaths were reported. Downstaging in T/N stage was achieved in 53/71 pts (55/74%) respectively. Conclusions: Combination preoperative QT-RT with capecitabine and oxaliplatin is a well tolerated regimen and achieves encouraging rates of pCR, R0 resection, sphincter preservation and tumor downstaging in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

Abstract
e22179 Background: Id1 and Id2 proteins are negative regulators of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, a family of components in the transcriptional network regulating cell growth and differentiation. Id1 and Id2 are overexpressed in human colorectal carcinoma and might play a critical role in the malignant cell phenotype. Methods: Two cell-lines were use for the analysis. NCM460: immortal non-tumoral cells from colon mucosa, and Caco-2: epithelial cells from colorectal carcinoma. Cell-lines were transfected with different constructs based on pLXSN vector (Clontech) to overexpress or inhibit the expression of the Id1 and Id2 genes, and then cultured for the analysis. Quantification of Id1 and Id2 expression were assessed by RT-PCR and Western-blot, respectively. A gene expression profile using oligonucleotide microarrays (Agilent Technologies) was performed in each cell line. Results: NCM460 cells and Caco-2 cells overexpressing Id1 (NCM460-Id1 and Caco-2-Id1) showed a statistically significant higher proliferation, invasion and migration, compared with both normal and Id1 inhibited cells. Id2 overexpression was related with a higher invasion capability only in NCM460 cells, without significant effect on proliferation and migration. NCM460-Id1 cells showed overexpression of PTMA, TYMS and LMNB1 genes, whereas HOXB8, LRP1, MMP17, NDRG1, MAP3K10, SCGb3A1 and BBC3 were upregulated. PTP4A1 and DKK1 were overexpressed in Caco-2-Id1 cells, and NDRG1, LRP1, FMOD and ENO1 were repressed. Conclusions: Id-1 expression is associated with proliferation, migration and invasion in both normal and tumoral colonic cell lines, and it is related with regulation of several genes implicated in colorectal cancer phenotype. Id proteins might be a potential target for the development of new antineoplastic agents. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
e22216 Background: Early diagnosis in lung cancer could improve its treatment and, subsequently, its prognosis and survival. New proteomic techniques can identify potential diagnostic and prognostic markers. The aim of this study was to find protein markers in bronchial fluid which could enable early diagnosis in NSCLC. Methods: We have included 96 patients with NSCLC diagnosed using bronchoscope (64 scamous/29 adenocarcinoma/3 others) and 49 consecutive patients with non pathological bronchoscope. Bronchial fluid was obtained from each patient and potential protein markers were studied. Bronchial fluid was centrifuged and supernatant proteins were analysed using bidimensional electrophoresis with poliacrilamid gel stained with silver nitrate. Gel was scanned and analysed with Progenesis PG6220 program, which measures intensity of each spot. Resultant intensities in each group of patients (NSCLC/non pathological bronchoscope) were compared using T-Student method. We selected as potential markers those spots with a p value of less than 0.05. We calculated “fold change” of each spot as the ratio between mean intensity in NSCLC bronchoscopes samples and non pathological bronchoscopes samples. Results: We analysed 300 spots in each sample and we found 31 potential markers whose fold-change ranges from 1.49 to 7.41; 15 of the markers were expressed in a higher level in NSCLC samples and the other 16 were expressed in a lower level. Conclusions: We have identified 31 differential protein markers in bronchial fluid among our patients. These results could lead in an early diagnostic test which must be validated in future studies.

Abstract
7597 Background: EGFR has an extracellular ligand-binding domain that can be proteolitically cleaved from the cell surface and can be accurately quantified in blood by ELISA. We have investigated the usefulness of plasma EGFR measurements as prognostic marker in advanced NSCLC. Methods: The cohort consisted in 329 patients (p) with advanced NSCLC that received first-line therapy with cisplatin and docetaxel. The concentration levels of the EGFR extracellular binding domain were determined by a sandwich quantitative ELISA in the baseline, before therapy. Results: Median age was 61, range [39–80], 84% males, 100% caucasian, 68% stage IIIB and 32% IV and 99% PS 0–1. The histological subtypes were: 31% squamous cell carcinoma, 49% adenocarcinoma, 15% large cell, and 5% undifferentiated. 181 p achieved complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) and 109 p progressive disease (PD). Median patient's plasma levels of EGFR were 32.4 ng/ml. There were not differences in p according to histology, site of metastasis and ECOG. There were differences in response to therapy; CR+PR+SD p presented median EGFR of 31.97 ng/ml [13.2–48.6] vs 30 ng/ml [16.9–46.8] in the PD group (p=0.024). Dividing the cohort in two sets according to EGFR median we found two significantly different groups in terms of Overall Survival (OS) and Time To Progression (TTP). Patients with EGFR<32.4 ng/ml had a median TTP of 3.9 months (m) [3.3–4.6] while for EGFR>32.4 ng/ml was 4.7 m [4.0–5.4], (p=0.024). OS when EGFR<32.4 ng/ml was 6.9 m [5.9–7.8] and for EGFR>32.4 ng/ml was 9.1 m [8.2–10.1], (p=0.038). Conclusions: Patients with PD presented significantly lower levels of serum EGFR than those patients with CR+PR+SD. There is a relationship among lower EGFR concentration in serum with a worst prognosis in advanced NSCLC p in terms of TTP and OS. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
7628 Background: Chemotherapy causes the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which facilitates cancer cell death. Trx protein functions as a ROS scavenger and a negative regulator of apoptosis signal regulating kinase-1 (ASK-1). High levels of Trx are associated with chemoresistance. 14–3-3s proteins are involved in cell cycle control and protein trafficking. Methods: Trx ELISA and 14- 3–3s methylation-specific PCR were performed in baseline serum from 107 stage IV NSCLC p treated with doc/cis. Results: Median age, 60 (range, 32–79); male, 87 (81.3%). PS: 0, 27 (25.2%); 1, 80 (74.8%). Adenocarcinoma, 46 (43.8%); squamous cell carcinoma, 40 (38.1%); 21 p had large cell or unspecified histology. Complete response, 1 p; partial response, 20 p; overall response rate, 20%. Median Trx level, 97.4 (range, 18.8–763.1). Serum was available for 14–3-3s methylation analysis in only 88 p. 14–3-3s was methylated in 43 p (48.9%). A significant correlation was observed between 14–3-3s methylation status and Trx levels ( Table ). 4 p with methylated and 17 with unmethylated 14–3-3s had Trx levels >182.8 (P=0.003). Median Trx levels were 103.5 in responders and 94.3 in non-responders (P=0.96). Time to progression (TTP) was 5.6 months (m) for 27 p with Trx <49.6, 4.4 m for 53 p with Trx 49.6–182.8, and 3.8 m for 27 p with Trx >182.8 (P=0.02). In a Cox multivariate analysis, Trx levels emerged as an independent variable for TTP when 14–3-3s was included in the model. Hazard ratios: 1.3 for PS1 (P=0.84); 1.05 for 14–3-3s unmethylated (P=0.22); 1.4 for Trx 49.6–182.8 and 1.95 for Trx >182.8 (P=0.04). Conclusions: Serum Trx levels can predict TTP in doc/cis-treated p. The additional role of 14–3-3s methylation may be more clearly demonstrated in cis/gemcitabine regimens.

Abstract
16505 Background: Dx and Cap are useful drugs in head and neck cancer. Our purpose was to establish the efficacy and safety of this combination in non selected patients (pts) with advanced or metastatic (M1) head and neck cancer. Methods: : Between Apr 2005 and Nov 2006, 33 pts with squamous cell locally advanced or M1 head and neck cancer received the following chemotherapy (Ct) schedule: Dx 75 mg/m2 day 1 and Cap 950 mg/m2/12h days 2–14, every 3 weeks.30 pts (90.9%) had received previous local radiotherapy, 11 of them with concomitant Ct. Results: Mean age was 60 years old (range 46–75). M/F: 32/1. PS 0/1/2: 1/29/3. Location of disease: only local 49%; local and M1 36%; only M1 15% (Main M1 site: lung 76.5%, nodes 11.8%, bone 5.9%, soft tissue 5.9%). Mean number of Ct cycles: 4 (range 1–7). Worst hematologic toxicities per patient G3/G4 (%): neutropenia 6/39; febrile neutropenia 36/0; anemia 3/0; trombopenia 3/3. Non-hematologic toxicities G2/G3 (%): vomiting 3/3; neuropathy 6/0; asthenia 33/6; diarrhea 21/3; mucositis 33/18; nail changes 12/0; hand foot syndrome 3/12. Other events to remark: 4 pts had neumonia (2 toxic deaths), 1 pts had angor and required a different Ct schedule, 2 pts had massive hemorrage (1 exitus). There were 7 pts not evaluable for response (4 not yet evaluated, 1 early death due to massive hemorrage, 1 toxic death due to neumonia, 1 early disphagia). Among the evaluated pts, responses were: 2 CR (7.7%), 10 PR (38.5%), 9 SD (34.6%) and 5 PD (19.2%). Median TTP was 21 weeks (95%CI 17.5 - 24.2). Median OS was 39.8 weeks (95%CI 32.4 - 47.4) by Kaplan-Meier method. Conclusions: This combination appears to be active in pts with advanced or M1 head and neck cancer. Main toxicities were neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, mucositis and asthenia. Global toxicity was important with two toxic deaths documented No significant financial relationships to disclose.

The place of targeted therapies in the management of non-small cell bronchial carcinoma. Molecular markers as predictors of tumor response and survival in lung cancer.

Abstract
This review highlights the numerous molecular biology findings in the field of lung cancer with potential therapeutic impact in both the near and distant future. Abundant pre-clinical and clinical data indicate that BRCA1 mRNA expression is a differential modulator of chemotherapy sensitivity. Low levels predict cisplatin sensitivity and antimicrotubule drug resistance, and the opposite occurs with high levels. The main core of recent research has centered on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and gene copy numbers. For the first time, EGFR mutations have been shown to predict dramatic responses in metastatic lung adenocarcinomas, with a threefold increase in time to progression and survival in patients receiving EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors. Evidence has also been accumulated on the crosstalk between estrogen and EGFR receptor pathways, paving the way for clinical trials of EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors plus aromatase inhibitors. Understanding the relevance of these findings can help to change the clinical practice in oncology towards customizing chemotherapy and targeted therapies, leading to improvement both in survival and in cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
7055 Background: Significant interaction between XRCC1 genotype and age has been reported, with younger subjects having a greater risk of developing lung cancer. Carriers of XRCC3 241 MetMet have higher levels of DNA adducts, leading us to hypothesize that they would be more chemosensitive, especially younger patients. Methods: Real-time PCR assay was used to determine XRCC3 genotype from DNA isolated from baseline blood samples of 878 stage IV NSCLC p (162 treated with gem/cis; 716 with doc/cis). Median age, 60; 266 p (30%) <55; 239 p (39%) 55–66; 273 p (31%) >66. Adenocarcinoma: 459 p (53%). Homozygous variant XRCC3 241 MetMet was found in 124 p (14%), with the same frequency in each of the three age groups. Results: After a median follow-up of 7.6 months (m) (95% CI, 1–47 m), overall median survival (MS) was 9.5 m (95% CI, 8.8–10.2 m), with no differences between the 2 regimens. In all p with XRCC3 241 MetMet, MS was 12.9 m for p treated with gem/cis and 8.4 m for p treated with doc/cis (P = 0.06) (hazard ratio at 2 y = 0.23). In p with XRCC3 241 MetMet <55 y, MS was not reached for p treated with gem/cis and 9.2 m for p treated with doc/cis (P = 0.02), which translated into a 60% difference in survival at 2 y. This difference diminished in p with XRCC3 241 MetMet 55–66 y (MS 12.9 m with gem/cis, 6.9 m with doc/cis [P = 0.09]; 28% difference in survival at 2 y) and disappeared in p >66 y (MS 5.8 m with gem/cis, 7.8 m with doc/cis [P = 0.55]. For the other XRCC3 241 genotypes (ThrThr and ThrMet), no differences in MS were found either overall or broken down by age. Conclusions: XRCC3 241 MetMet is both an easily assessable and robust predictive marker for survival in younger gem/cis-treated NSCLC p. The survival benefit dwindles with increasing age, possibly related to the enhanced DNA repair capacity of older p. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
3507 Background: X, an orally administered non-peptide neurotrophic agent developed by sanofi-aventis, was shown in vitro to minimize neuritic damage induced by Ox (co-culture of Schwann cells and dorsal roots ganglia explant). The probability of occurrence of Grade (Gr) 3–4 PSN at a cumulative dose of Ox of 1000 mg/m2, was consistently reported to be of 18–20%. Methods: First line MCRC pts were randomized to receive, in a DB fashion, FOLFOX4 and either Plcb or X 1mg daily. X was administered from the 1st day of chemotherapy till 15 days post last Ox cycle. Co-primary objectives were reduction in the risk of occurrence of Gr 3–4 PSN relative to cumulative dose of Ox (Kaplan-Meier method) and non-inferiority in response rate (RR). Secondary endpoints included evaluation of sensory action potential (SAP) and safety. Results: From July 2002 to May 2004, 649 pts were randomized (324 Plcb, 325 X). Pts characteristics were well balanced across arms, median number of Ox cycles was 12 in both arms, median relative dose intensity (%) was 83.8 (Plcb) and 85.2 (X). A significant risk reduction of 39% in the probability of Grade 3–4 PSN in favor of X was reported (hazard ratio [95% CI] = 0.61 [0.40; 0.93], p= 0.0203). Overall RR [95 % CI] was: Plcb 42.6% [37.1; 48.2] and X 44.9% [39.4; 50.6]. As prospectively defined in the protocol, the lower bound of the CI of the RR ratio above 0.8 confirms noninferiority in RR (1.055 [0.88; 1.26]). In both arms the mean % of change in SAP worsens as a function of PSN severity. 17.3 (Plcb) and 13.5% (X) of the pts discontinued Ox because of PSN. Severe toxicities (% Gr 3–4), reported with a ≥2% difference between arms, were (plcb vs X): diarrhea 10.9 vs 13.0, pulmonary embolism 0.9 vs 3.1, fatigue 3.7 vs 1.5, neutropenia 43.0 vs 37.8. Conclusion: X was shown to be efficient in reducing the risk of Grade 3–4 oxaliplatin-induced PSN without impacting FOLFOX4 antitumor activity. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platinum-based doublets are the standard chemotherapy for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Excision-repair cross-complementing 1 (ERCC1), xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) and ribonucleotide reductase subunit M1 (RRM1) are essential to the repair of cisplatin DNA adducts. Multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) has been related to antimicrotubule resistance. We assessed whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ERCC1, XPD, RRM1 and MDR1, and ERCC1 mRNA expression, predicted survival in docetaxel-cisplatin-treated stage IV NSCLC patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Using the TaqMan 5' nuclease assay, we examined ERCC1 118, XPD 751 and 312, RRM1 -37C/A, and MDR1 C3435T SNPs in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) obtained from 62 docetaxel-cisplatin-treated advanced NSCLC patients. ERCC1 expression was measured in RNA isolated from PBLs using real-time reverse transcriptase PCR. RESULTS Overall median survival was 10.26 months. Median survival was 9.67 months for 34 patients with ERCC1 118 C/T, 9.74 months for 17 patients with T/T, and not reached for 11 patients with C/C (P=0.04). Similar significant differences in time to progression were observed according to ERCC1 118 genotype (P=0.03). No other significant differences were observed. CONCLUSIONS Patients homozygous for the ERCC1 118 C allele demonstrated a significantly better survival. ERCC1 SNP assessment could be an important component of tailored chemotherapy trials.
