First-Line LV5FU2 with or without Aflibercept in Patients with Non-Resectable Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Randomized Phase II Trial (PRODIGE 25-FFCD-FOLFA). Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1515. [PMID: 38672597 PMCID: PMC11049283 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16081515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Fluropyrimidine monotherapy is an option for some patients with inoperable metastatic colorectal cancer. Unlike bevacizumab, the addition of aflibercept, an antibody acting as an anti-angiogenic agent, has never been evaluated in this context. The aim of the study was to determine whether aflibercept could increase the efficacy of fluoropyrimidine monotherapy without increasing toxicity. This multicenter phase II non-comparative trial evaluated the addition of aflibercept to infusional 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid (LV5FU2 regimen) as first-line treatment in patients unfit to receive doublet cytotoxic chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was 6-month progression-free survival (PFS). The clinical hypotheses expected a PFS rate at 6 months of over 40% (60% expected). A total of 117 patients, with a median age of 81 years, were included: 59 in arm A (LV5FU2-aflibercept) and 58 in arm B (LV5FU2 alone). Six-month PFS was 54.7% in both arms (90% CI 42.5-66.5 in both). Median overall survival was 21.8 months (arm A) and 25.1 months (arm B). Overall toxicity was more common in arm A: grade ≥ 3 toxicity in 82% versus 58.2%. Given the 6-month PFS, the study can be considered positive. However, the toxicity of aflibercept in this population was high, and continuation of the trial into phase III is not envisaged.

FOLFIRINEC: a randomized phase II trial of mFOLFIRINOX vs platinum-etoposide for metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma of gastroenteropancreatic or unknown origin. Dig Liver Dis 2021; 53:824-829. [PMID: 33994125 DOI: 10.1016/j.dld.2021.04.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Revised: 04/11/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC) are rare diseases with a poor prognosis. Platinum-etoposide (PE) has been the recommended first-line treatment for decades. FOLFIRINEC (NCT04325425) is a national multicenter randomized phase II study which aims to challenge this standard regimen. METHODS The primary objective is to compare the median progression-free survival (PFS) under mFOLFIRINOX versus PE. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the objective response rates (ORR), median overall survival (OS), safety and quality of life. The associated real-time translational study will establish a molecular profile for each patient enrolled. MAIN INCLUSION CRITERIA ARE NEC of gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) or unknown origin, metastatic and RECIST 1.1 evaluable disease, tumor sample available and no contraindication to chemotherapy. Patients will be randomized 1:1 between PE every 21 days for 6-8 cycles and mFOLFIRINOX every 14 days for up to 12 cycles and stratified according to center, performance status, Ki67 and pathological subtype. This trial will randomize 218 patients (24 months of follow-up) to have 80% power to detect an improvement of the median PFS from 5 months under PE to 7.5 months under mFOLFIRINOX (HR of 0.67, α =5%, two-sided). An intermediate analysis is planned at 50% of events. Recruitment started on October 20, 2020.

Prognostic value of CEC count in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients treated with bevacizumab and chemotherapy: a prospective validation study (UCBG COMET). Angiogenesis 2019; 23:193-202. [PMID: 31773439 DOI: 10.1007/s10456-019-09697-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2019] [Accepted: 11/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Proof of concept studies has reported that circulating endothelial cell (CEC) count may be associated with the outcome of HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients treated by chemotherapy and the anti-VEGF antibody bevacizumab. We report the results obtained in an independent prospective validation cohort (COMET study, NCT01745757). METHODS The main baseline criteria were HER2-negative mBC, performance status 0-2 and no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease. CECs were detected by CellSearch® from 4 ml of blood at baseline and after 4 weeks of weekly paclitaxel and bevacizumab therapy. CEC counts (considered both as a continuous variable and using the previously described 20 CEC/4 ml cutoff) were associated with clinical characteristics and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS CEC count was obtained in 251 patients at baseline and in 207 patients at 4 weeks. Median baseline CEC count was 22 CEC/4 ml (range 0-2231). Baseline CEC counts were associated with performance status (p = 0.02). No statistically significant change in CEC counts was observed between baseline and 4 weeks of therapy. High baseline CEC count was associated with shorter PFS in univariate and multivariate analyses (continuous: p < 0.001; dichotomized: HR 1.52, 95% CI [1.15-2.02], p = 0.004). CEC counts at 4 weeks had no prognostic impact. CONCLUSION This study confirms that CEC count may be associated with the outcome of mBC patients treated with chemotherapy and bevacizumab. However, discrepancies with previous reports in terms of both the timing of CEC count and the direction of the prognostic impact warrant further clinical investigation.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
EORTC-1320-BTG investigated the activity, safety and quality of life of therapy with the tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid trabectedin (Yondelis®) in patients with recurrent higher-grade meningiomas. Trabectedin was originally derived from the Caribbean sea squirt, Ecteinascidia turbinata, and currently is manufactured by total synthesis.
METHODS
Adult patients with histological diagnosis of WHO grade II or III meningioma and radiologically documented progression after maximal feasible surgery and radiotherapy were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive intravenous trabectedin (1.5 mg/m2every three weeks) or local standard of care (LOC). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).
RESULTS
Within 22.1 months, we randomized a total of 90 patients (n=29 in LOC arm, n=61 in trabectedin arm) in 35 institutions and nine countries. In the LOC arm, the following treatments were administered: hydroxyurea (n=11), bevacizumab (n=9), none (n=4), chemotherapy (n=3), somatostatin analogue (n=1), combined chemotherapy and somatostatin analogue (n=1). With 71 PFS events, median PFS was 4.17 months in the LOC and 2.43 months in the trabectedin arm (hazard ratio [HR] for progression, 1.42; 80% CI, 1.00–2.03; p=0.204) with a PFS-6 rate of 29.1% (95% CI, 11.9%-48.8%) in the LOC and 21.1% (95% CI, 11.3%-32.9%) in the trabectedin arm. Median OS was 10.61 months in the LOC and 11.37 months in the trabectedin arm (HR for death, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.54–1.76; p=0.94).Grade 3 to 5 adverse events occurred in 44.4% (18.5% related, 4 serious adverse events, 0 lethal events) of the patients in the LOC and 59% (32.8% related, 57 serious adverse events and 2 toxic deaths) of patient in the trabectedin arm.
CONCLUSIONS
In this first prospective randomized trial performed in recurrent grade II or III meningioma, trabectedin did not improve PFS and OS and was associated with significantly higher toxicity as compared to LOC treatment. The data collected in this study may serve as benchmark for future clinical trials in this setting.

Long-term survival in patients with recurrent glioblastoma treated with bevacizumab: a multicentric retrospective study. J Neurooncol 2019; 144:419-426.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recurrence of glioblastoma (GB) occurs in most patients after standard concomitant temozolomide-based radiochemotherapy (CTRC). Bevacizumab (BV), an anti-VEGF antibody, has an effect on progression-free survival (PFS) but not on overall survival (OS). However, a small part of the patients experience a survival, longer than expected. This retrospective study aims to characterize long responder (LR) patients treated with BV for a first or second GBM recurrence. METHODS Medical records from patients (814) who received BV for a first or second recurrence of primary glioblastoma between September 2010 and September 2015, and initially treated by CTRC were analyzed. Patients, who had at least a stable disease according to RANO criteria at 12 months from the start of BV, were included. Patients who had, a secondary GB, or received BV in neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting were excluded. RESULTS We focused on 65 LR patients without progression 12 months after the first injection of BV (8%). Median PFS was 21.7 months [95% CI (19.3; 27.2)] and median OS was 31.1 months [95% CI (24.3; 37.5)] from the start of BV. No prognostic factor was associated with OS in multivariate analysis. Karnofsky performance status, neurological status and corticosteroid dose were stable at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Our results highlight that among patients receiving bevacizumab in first or second recurrence, one patient out of twelve could be classified as LR. A median OS of 31.1 months from the start of BV could be expected in this subpopulation. These findings reinforce the potential benefit of the use of BV in the situation of recurrence. 256 words.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Increased levels of CTC and a persistent elevated level after just one cycle of chemotherapy are very strong and independent markers of worse progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) (Bidard et al, Lancet Oncol 2014). ctDNA can be used to detect mutation associated with resistance to treatment. It has also been shown that dynamic changes in ctDNA levels closely reflect changes in tumor burden. We prospectively monitored CTC and ctDNA early variations during first line chemotherapy for MBC.
Patients & methods: The French cohort COMET is a prospective study including first line HER2 negative patients (pts) receiving weekly paclitaxel and bevacizumab according to EMA approved combination. The aim of this cohort is to evaluate clinical, biological and radiological parameters associated with pts outcome (CTC, serum markers, ctDNA, pharmacogenomic polymorphisms, metabolomic parameters, visceral fat, serum estradiol level and quality of life). We present here the first planned analysis on pts evaluated for CTC (CellSearch) and ctDNA using targeted sequencing (Roche SeqCap technology) of a panel of 46 genes and 8 promoters, using unique molecular identifiers to increase ctDNA detection sensitivity. Blood samples were obtained at baseline (BL) and before the second cycle of chemotherapy (C2).
Results: From 09/2012 to 5/2014, 218 pts were included in this substudy. Median age was 55 years and 22% of pts had triple negative BC. At BL, 70% of pts had ≥1 detectable CTC per 7.5 ml of blood (median 4 CTC, range 1- 30,000) and 37% at C2. With a threshold of ≥5 CTC, 47% of pts were positive at BL and 22% at C2. For ctDNA, out of the first 141 pts analyzed, 105 had at least one somatic mutation detected in plasma (74%). The average number of mutations per pt was 2.7 and most commonly mutated genes were TP53 and PIK3CA. ESR1 was found mutated in 9% of all cases and restricted to the ER+ subgroup. Median Allelic Frequency was 10% (range 0.6-83%). Only 33% of pts had detectable ctDNA at C2. At BL, CTC and ctDNA levels were correlated (r=0.46, p<0.0001). Despite no complete overlap, 11% of pts had no CTC nor ctDNA detected. Median follow-up was 53 months and median OS was 32 months. Increased level of CTC and ctDNA were significantly associated with decreased PFS and OS. At C2, ≥5 CTC or still detectable ctDNA were strong markers of reduced OS: HR 4.6 (CI95 3.1-7) and HR 3.2 (CI95 1.8 – 5.5), respectively (both p< 0.0001). At multivariate analysis for PFS, detectable ctDNA at C2 and triple negative status were the only significant prognostic factors. None of serum marker level at BL or their early variations had prognostic value.
Conclusion: This is the largest prospective cohort assessing the respective prognostic values of early CTC and ctDNA changes in homogenously treated first line MBC patients. Analysis of mutations profile variations and comparison with primary tumor and metastasis biopsies are ongoing and may reveal early mechanisms of resistance.

Abstract
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common tumor predisposition syndrome in which glioma is one of the prevalent tumors. Gliomagenesis in NF1 results in a heterogeneous spectrum of low- to high-grade neoplasms occurring during the entire lifespan of patients. The pattern of genetic and epigenetic alterations of glioma that develops in NF1 patients and the similarities with sporadic glioma remain unknown. Here, we present the molecular landscape of low- and high-grade gliomas in patients affected by NF1 (NF1-glioma). We found that the predisposing germline mutation of the NF1 gene was frequently converted to homozygosity and the somatic mutational load of NF1-glioma was influenced by age and grade. High-grade tumors harbored genetic alterations of TP53 and CDKN2A, frequent mutations of ATRX associated with Alternative Lengthening of Telomere, and were enriched in genetic alterations of transcription/chromatin regulation and PI3 kinase pathways. Low-grade tumors exhibited fewer mutations that were over-represented in genes of the MAP kinase pathway. Approximately 50% of low-grade NF1-gliomas displayed an immune signature, T lymphocyte infiltrates, and increased neo-antigen load. DNA methylation assigned NF1-glioma to LGm6, a poorly defined Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 wild-type subgroup enriched with ATRX mutations. Thus, the profiling of NF1-glioma defined a distinct landscape that recapitulates a subset of sporadic tumors.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: It has been reported in women with advanced estrogen-receptor (ER)-positive/(HER2)-negative breast cancer the acquisition of a HER2-positive CTC subpopulation during therapy (Jordan NV Nature 2016). The clinical significance of acquired HER2 heterogeneity during the evolution of metastatic breast cancer is unknown. We report here the analysis of HER2 status of CTC before and after one cycle of treatment in HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer patients treated with first line weekly paclitaxel and bevacizumab.
Patients & methods:The French cohort COMET is a prospective study including first line HER2 negative patients (pts) receiving weekly paclitaxel and bevacizumab according to EMA approved combination. The aim of this cohort is to evaluate clinical, biological and radiological parameters associated with pts outcome. We confirmed previously the outcome of patients with high CTC count at base line and after one cycle of treatment (Bidard et al, Lancet Oncol 2014). We present here the analysis on 203 pts evaluated for the expression of HER2 on CTC using the FDA cleared CellSearch method. The HER2 expression of CTCs (CB11 clone) was categorized (class 0–3) as described by Riethdorf et al.CCR2010.
Results: At base line, 144 out of 203 pts had at least one detectable CTC (71%), (median 4, and range 1- 30,000). Among them, 104 (72%) had one or more HER2 positive CTC (1-21,484). In 25 patients with HER2 2+ primary tumor with FISH or CISH non amplified, the incidence of CTC HER2+ cases (13/25, 52%) was similar than in pts with HER2 0 or HER2 1+ (51%) primary tumor. In each case, 3 to 100% of detectable CTC could be HER2+ stained (median 50% of CTC). Only 12 cases (8% of all CTC cases) had 2+ HER2 staining score on CTC and none 3+. After one cycle of treatment, the number of pts with detectable CTC dropped to 64, including 42 with HER2+ CTC (65%). Out of these cases, 14 were 3+ or 2+ HER2 score (22% of CTC+ cases). This was a significant increase compared to baseline (8%) (p<0.001), including 6 cases with 100% of HER2+ CTC. To note, 7 patients without HER2+ CTC at baseline, had detectable HER2+ CTC after one cycle of treatment. With a median follow-up of 2 years, correlation of CTC variations with pts outcome is planned.
Conclusion: HER2 staining on CTC was heterogeneous with HER2 positive and negative subpopulations in the same patient with primary HER2 negative breast cancer. We observe a variability of HER2 CTC status with an increased intensity or appearance of immunostaining in few cases during treatment. We hypothesize that these phenotypes changes within patient-derived circulating tumor cells could contribute to progression of breast cancer and acquisition of drug resistance.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose:The likelihood of menses recovery (MR) is largely variable in premenopausal patients (pts) receiving adjuvant chemotherapy for BC. Quantifying this probability for each single patient could impact discussion of chemotherapy side effects and better individualize fertility counseling.We performed a pooled analysis from PACS04 and PACS05 randomized trials aiming to develop a nomogram to estimate the probability of menses recovery at 6 and 18 months (mos) after the end of adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) for premenopausal pts with early BC.
Patients and Methods: The analyzed population consisted of 1683 pts who were premenopausal and ≤ 50 (out of 4524 enrolled in both trials). In PACS05 node-negative BC pts were randomized to 4 or 6 cycles of FE100C (standard arm); in PACS04 node-positive pts were randomized to 6 cycles of FE100C or 6 cycles of Epirubicin 75mg/m2 and Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 (ED75). Endocrine therapy (ET) (Tamoxifen) x 5 years was mandatory for ER+ BC. Variables significantly associated with MR in the univariate analysis (P<0.20) were included in the multivariate analysis. Using this data set, a logistic regression-based nomogram was developed to predict MR at 6 and 18 mos.
Results: Pts' characteristics were: median age 43 (22-50), median body mass index (BMI) at baseline 22.6 (15.6-54.7), at the end of chemotherapy 22.8 (15.8-58.6). ED75 was administrated to 517 (30.7%), while 802 (47.7%) received 6FE100C, 364 (21.6) 4FE100C. Trastuzumab was given to 122 (7.2%), ET to 1229 (73%) pts. CT-induced amenorrhea was observed in 1407 (83.6%) pts. Factors associated to MR were assessed on 1210 pts (excluding pts who recovered menses during CT or of whom date of recovery was not specified). At a median follow-up of 90 mos, 28.2% (342/1210) of pts had recovered menstrual cycles: 11% (133/1210) at 6 mos and 24.3% (294/1210) at 18 mos. Multivariate analysis showed that younger age, higher BMI at the end of CT, non-alkylating agents and absence of ET were independently associated to MR.
Table 1 Multivariate Cox regression analysis of menses recoveryVariablesHR (95%CI)P valueAge1.49 (1.16-1.93)< 0.002Age2*0.99 [0.98-0.99]<0.0001BMI after CT1.02 (0.99-1.04)0.07Alkylating agents0.72 (0.57-0.90)0.004Endocrine Therapy0.50 (0.40-0.62)<0.001* The quadratic term in the age variable accounts for the non-linearity of the relation between the age and the probability of recovering menses. Overall this probability tend to decrease when age increase with a greater decrease for the older patients.
Nomogram concordance-index was 0.749 and 0.750 for predicting MR at 6 and 18 mos respectively. A better calibration was observed at 18 mos, comparing nomogram predictions with the actual probability of MR in the 1210 women.
Conclusion:Our analysis confirmed the possibility of developing a user-friendly nomogram for predicting menses recovery after adjuvant chemotherapy. As next step, we will externally validate our nomogram on CANTO premenopausal population, one of the biggest national cohorts aiming to assess the long-term impact of cancer treatments toxicities (UNICANCER NCT01993498 - http://etudecanto.org/).

Abstract
Abstract
Background: increased levels of circulating tumor cells (CTC) are associated with worse progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). It has been hypothesized that bevacizumab could modify CTC prognostic value. CEC variations to predict benefit of anti-angiogenic treatment is still controversial. Predictive markers for response to bevacizumab combined to chemotherapy in MBC remains a clinical unmet need.
Patients & methods: The French cohort COMET is a prospective study including first line HER2 negative patients (pts) receiving weekly paclitaxel and bevacizumab according to EMA approved combination. The aim of this cohort is to evaluate clinical, biological and radiological parameters associated with pts outcome (CTC, CEC, serum markers, ctDNA, pharmacogenomic polymorphisms, metabolomic parameters, visceral fat assessed by initial CTscan, serum estradiol level, and quality of life). We present here the first planned analysis on 203 pts evaluated for CTC and CEC using the FDA cleared CellSearch method.
Results: For CTC substudy, 211 patients were included from 09/2012 to 5/2014. Median follow-up is 24 months. Median PFS was 10 months (CI95 9-12) and response rate was 57%. Median OS was not reached. 203 patients were evaluable for both CTC and CEC at baseline and first day of second cycle of CT (D1C2). At baseline, 97/203 (48%) pts had ≥ 5 CTC (median 4 (range 0-30,000). Median number CEC was 21 (0-2231) at baseline and 22 (1-881) at D1C2. LDH, CEA, CA15.3 and CYFRA 21 were above normal at baseline in 44%, 46%, 73% and 71% of the cases respectively. CTC level was not correlated with any patients' characteristics except a number of metastatic site >3. After one cycle of chemotherapy (D1C2) 37 pts (22%) had still ≥ 5 CTC: 36 pts with initial high level and only one patient with low CTC at baseline had increased CTC above 5. Prognostic factors for PFS at univariate analysis were visceral disease, number of metastatic sites (> 3), triple negative status, LDH, CTC level at baseline and CTC level after one cycle of chemotherapy (D1C2). None of serum marker nor CEC level at baseline or any variations had prognostic value. In multivariate analysis for PFS, CTC level after one cyle of chemotherapy predicts poor outcome

Conclusion: We confirm in a large prospective series the lack of clinical validity of CEC to predict response to an antiangiogenic based treatment in MBC. A persistent elevated level of CTC after just one cycle of chemotherapy is a very strong and independent marker of poor outcome in a homogeneously bevacizumab-treated cohort of MBC patients. This marker could be used to stopped earlier an inefficient and costly treatment.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TN), as defined by the triple negativity in immunohistochemistry: the absence of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and the absence of overexpression or amplification of HER2, corresponds to 15 % of invasive breast cancers. This is a very heterogeneous group of tumors both at the genomic and transcriptomic level and at morphological, clinical and prognostic level. Although there are some good prognosis forms, the majority of TN tumors is characterized by a poor prognosis with a greater frequency of visceral metastases and a maximum risk of relapse in the first two years after diagnosis. Systemic adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy is almost always indicated. The surgical treatment and radiotherapy treatment should be comparable to the other subtypes and obey the same rules of oncologic surgery. TN tumors are not associated with a higher risk of locoregional relapse after conservative treatment and adjuvant radiotherapy. Optimization of systemic therapies is currently and for the last decade a challenge. A number of targeted therapies and efficiency biomarkers identification of these targeted therapies is essential to allow significant progress in optimizing systemic therapy for these tumors.

Paclitaxel plus bevacizumab or paclitaxel as first-line treatment for HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer in a multicenter national observational study. Ann Oncol 2016; 27:1725-32.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bevacizumab combined with paclitaxel as first-line chemotherapy for patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has led to mixed results in randomized trials, with an improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) but no statistically significant overall survival (OS) benefit. Real-life data could help in assessing the value of this combination. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study aimed to describe the outcome following first-line paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab in the French Epidemiological Strategy and Medical Economics (ESME) database of MBC patients, established in 2014 by Unicancer. The primary and secondary end points were OS and PFS, respectively. RESULTS From 2008 to 2013, 14 014 MBC patient files were identified, including 10 605 patients with a HER2-negative status. Of these, 3426 received paclitaxel and bevacizumab (2127) or paclitaxel (1299) as first-line chemotherapy. OS adjusted for major prognostic factors was significantly longer in the paclitaxel and bevacizumab group compared with paclitaxel [hazard ratio (HR) 0.672, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.601-0.752; median survival time 27.7 versus 19.8 months]. Results were consistent in all supportive analyses (using a propensity score for adjustment and as a matching factor for nested case-control analyses) and sensitivity analyses. Similar results were observed for the adjusted PFS, favoring the combination (HR 0.739, 95% CI 0.672-0.813; 8.1 versus 6.4 months). CONCLUSIONS In this large-scale, real-life setting, patients with HER2-negative MBC who received paclitaxel plus bevacizumab as first-line chemotherapy had a significantly better OS and PFS than those receiving paclitaxel. Despite robust methodology, real-life data are exposed to important potential biases, and therefore, results need to be treated with caution. Our data cannot therefore support extension of current use of bevacizumab in MBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the value of the metabolic tumor response assessed with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), compared with clinicobiologic markers to predict pathologic complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in women with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
Experimental Design: Fifty consecutive women with TNBC and an indication for NAC were prospectively included. Different pretreatment clinical, biologic, and pathologic biomarkers, including SBR grade, the Ki-67 proliferation index, androgen receptor expression, EGF receptor (EGFR), and cytokeratin 5/6 staining, were assessed. Tumor glucose metabolism at baseline and its change after the first cycle of NAC (ΔSUVmax) were assessed using FDG-PET.
Results: The pCR rate was 42%. High Ki-67 proliferation index (P = 0.016), negative EGFR status (P = 0.042), and high ΔSUVmax (P = 0.002) were significantly associated with pCR. In multivariate logistic regression, both negative EGFR status (OR, 6.4; P = 0.043) and high ΔSUVmax (OR, 7.1; P = 0.014) were independent predictors of pCR. Using a threshold at −50%, tumor ΔSUVmax predicted pCR with a negative, a positive predictive value, and an accuracy of 79%, 70%, and 75%, respectively. Combining a low ΔSUVmax and positive EGFR status could predict non-pCR with an accuracy of 92%.
Conclusions: It is important to define the chemosensitivity of TNBC to NAC early. Combining EGFR status and the metabolic response assessed with FDG-PET can help the physician to early predict the probability of achieving pCR or not. Given these results, the interest of response-guided tailoring of the chemotherapy might be tested in multicenter trials. Clin Cancer Res; 21(24); 5460–8. ©2015 AACR.

Abstract
PURPOSE Fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin, irinotecan and targeted therapies represent the standard treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. After failure of all these treatments, few options are available. In such chemorefractory patients the effect of triplet chemotherapy with bevacizumab (FOLFIRINOX bevacizumab) has never been investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS 49 consecutive patients bearing unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer and who experienced failure to oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based chemotherapy were treated with oxaliplatin (85 mg/m(2)), irinotecan (180 mg/m(2)), leucovorin (400 mg/m(2)), and fluorouracil (400 mg/m(2) bolus then 2,400 mg/m(2)) repeated every 2 weeks. RESULTS Median age was 63 (range 36-82) years. After a median follow-up of 12 months, the median progression-free survival was 5.8 months (95% CI 3.4-6.8) and the median overall survival was 11.9 months (95% CI 8-18). The response rate after the cycle was evaluable for 36 patients, whereby we observed 18% (95% CI 8-35) partial or complete response, 45% (95% CI 28-68) stable disease of more than 2 months, and 37% (95% CI 21-58) progression. CONCLUSION This study suggests that bevacizumab + FOLFIRINOX may be active in mCRC patients after failure of classical lines of chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide (six cycles) is the standard treatment after surgery in glioblastoma patients. Few studies have assessed the impact of additional cycles of temozolomide on survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a bi-centric retrospective study comparing survival and toxicity according to the number of cycles of adjuvant temozolomide. RESULTS Fifty-eight patients were included. All patients received radiotherapy with concomitant temozolomide. Thirty-eight patients received six cycles, while 20 received nine or more (median=14) cycles. The risk of recurrence was significantly higher in the group receiving six cycles compared to the other group. Prolonged treatment improved progression-free survival (p=0.03) and overall survival (p=0.01) in multivariate analysis without a significant increase in toxicity. CONCLUSION Prolonged administration of temozolomide seems to improve progression-free and overall survival, without increased toxicity. Prospective studies in larger populations are needed to better-define the population to whom it can be proposed and its optimal duration.

Abstract
Surgery alone is no longer appropriate to the treatment of T3-T4 resecable rectal cancer. Preoperative chemoradiotherapy has recently been approved as the new standard treatment. This approach improves local control with local failure rate raranging now around 6-8%. However, it does not impact on overall survival. It becomes urgent to develop new concepts and a basic research in the understanding of the biological mechanisms that may explain the resistance of the micrometastatic process.

Abstract
The pemetrexed disodium (Alimta), LY231514) is the first antifolate able to inhibit at the same time the synthesis of purins and pyrimidins. Many therapeutic tests were carried out in clinical situations where the methotrexate and the fluorouracil had been the proof of their effectiveness. It then showed an interesting activity in a great number of tumours but with very different profiles of tolerance according to the studies and pathologies. The explanation will come in 2001 by the description from the relation between the vitamin deficiencies among treated patients and occurred from toxicities. The two randomized studies carried out in the malignant pleural mesothelioma and the non small cell lung cancer made it possible to establish its utility and to record the pemetrexed in these clinical situations. Others axes of development remain possible, but the results are stanby or to confirm as in squamous-cell cancer in the head and neck and breast, digestive or urinary tracts cancer. In all the cases, the optimization of the pemetrexed in terms of amount/methods of administration and associations possible because of its profile of tolerance makes of it a molecule of chemotherapy with a future.
