    Abstract: PURPOSE: Irinotecan and oxaliplatin are two new agents with promising activity in advanced colorectal cancer. Based on preclinical and clinical evidence that both drugs act synergistically, a randomized phase II study was initiated to investigate the therapeutic potential and tolerance of this combination in the front-line setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ninety-two patients with previously untreated, measurable disease were randomized to receive biweekly oxaliplatin 85 mg/m 2 plus irinotecan 175 mg/m 2 or raltitrexed 3 mg/m 2 given on day 1 every 3 weeks. Upon development of progressive disease, second-line treatment with the opposite arm was effected. RESULTS: Patients allocated to oxaliplatin/irinotecan had a significantly better radiologically confirmed response rate (43.5% v 19.6%; P = .0025) and longer progression-free survival (median, 7.1 v 5.0 months; P = .0033). Improvement in overall survival, however, did not reach the level of significance (median, 16.0 v 16.5 months; P = .3943). The response rate after cross-over was 33.3% (eight of 24) for assessable patients treated with oxaliplatin/irinotecan compared with 14.2% (three of 21) for those treated with second-line raltitrexed. Oxaliplatin/irinotecan caused more hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicities, necessitating dose reductions in 10 of the first 20 patients. After adjustment of the irinotecan starting dose from 175 to 150 mg/m 2 , tolerance of treatment was acceptable; the most commonly encountered events (all grades) were neutropenia (81%), alopecia (65%), nausea/emesis (62%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (62%), and diarrhea (46%). CONCLUSION: Oxaliplatin/irinotecan seems beneficial as first-line therapy in advanced colorectal cancer, with an acceptable toxicity profile at the reduced irinotecan dose level. Its promising therapeutic potential is supported by the high response activity noted in the raltitrexed control arm after cross-over, which may also explain the lack of a difference in overall survival.

    Abstract: e12061 Background: Neoadjuvant treatment in HER2 overexpressing early breast cancer (EBC) has increased considerably. The Neosphere study, in which dual blockade of HER2 was combined with docetaxel resulted in favorable pCR rates. The addition of anthracyclines could play an important role in enhancing the effectiveness. The use of NPLD might be valuable in combination with HER2 targeted therapies. Safety and efficacy of NPLD, taxotere and trastuzumab was reported in the ABSCG 32 study. There is only little data about the cardiac safety and efficacy in combination with dual HER2 blockade. We report pCR-rate and cardiac safety of a single arm, retrospective, multicenter analysis of neoadj. treatment for HER2+ EBC. Methods: In this study 98 women with HER2+ EBC were investigated in 4 oncological departments in Austria. All patients were treated with NPLD (50 mg/m²), docetaxel (75 mg/m²) concurrent with trastuzumab and pertuzumab in standard dosage for 6 cycles as neoadjuvant therapy. All patients were free of cardiovascular disease and had a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≥50%. Cardiac function was measured by LVEF. All patients underwent surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The absence of any residual invasive cancer in the breast and axilla was defined as pathological complete response (pCR). Median follow up was 1.7 years. Results: Median age was 49 years. pCR rate was 73%. In this cohort a negative estrogen-and progesteron receptor was predictive for pCR (p 〈 0.001). These patients achieved pCR in 89%. No patient progressed during treatment. Only one patient(1%) suffered symptomatic heart failure after surgery. Conclusions: We observed a considerably high rate of pCR in HER2-positive EBC treated with a combination of NPLD, docetaxel, trastuzumab and pertuzumab. Hormone receptor negativity was highly predictive for pCR. The addition of NPLD entails a very favorable cardiotoxicity profile. This regimen is a safe and highly effective treatment option in patients with HER-2 positive EBC.

    Abstract: To evaluate risk factors for outcome in children and adolescents with relapse of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) after comparable first-line therapy. Patients and Methods We analyzed a population-based cohort of 74 children with relapsed ALCL after Berlin-Frankfurt-Muenster–type first-line therapy between April 1990 and December 2003. The recommended salvage strategy was reinduction chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (SCT). Results With a median follow-up time of 8.4 years (range, 4.5 to 16.4 years), the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate after first relapse was 57% ± 6%. Survival correlated with time of relapse and clinically advanced dissemination. Five-year OS of 16 patients who experienced progression during first-line therapy was 25% ± 11% compared with 66% ± 6% for 58 patients with a later relapse (P = .002). Five-year OS of 11 patients with bone marrow or CNS involvement was 27% ± 13% compared with 62% ± 6% for 63 patients without involvement (P = .001). Five-year event-free survival (EFS) and OS of 39 children who received the recommended autologous SCT were 59% ± 8% and 77% ± 7%, respectively. EFS after autologous SCT was significantly associated with time to relapse (progression: n = 3; EFS, 0; later relapse: n = 36; EFS, 64% ± 8%; P = .014) and CD3 expression (CD3 negative: n = 25; EFS, 72% ± 9%; CD3 positive: n = 11; EFS, 18% ± 12%; P 〈 .001), but not with site of relapse, conditioning regimen, or graft manipulation. No relapses occurred among 10 patients with relapsed CD3-positive ALCL treated with allogeneic SCT. Conclusion Reinduction chemotherapy followed by autologous SCT proved feasible and efficacious for patients with a first relapse of CD3-negative ALCL after first-line therapy. Patients with progression during first-line therapy or relapsed CD3-positive ALCL may benefit from allogeneic SCT.

    Abstract: Little is known about the outcome of pediatric patients with lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) who suffer from progressive disease or relapse. Patients and Methods We analyzed the pattern of LBL relapses after current non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Berlin-Frankfurt-Muenster (BFM) frontline therapy between April 1990 and March 2003. Relapse therapy was according to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) –Relapse-BFM protocols or ALL-BFM protocols for high-risk patients. Results Twenty-eight (11%) of 251 registered patients with precursor T-cell LBL (T-LBL) and six (8%) of 73 patients with precursor B-cell LBL (pB-LBL) suffered from relapse. Of the 28 patients with T-LBL, one died from infection during relapse chemotherapy, 18 failed to achieve stable remission and died from disease progression, and nine reached allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (SCT). Two of these nine patients who underwent SCT died from transplantation-associated toxicity, three died from disease progression, and four are still alive. These four patients are in second remission of their lymphoma for 48, 68, 125, and 131 months, respectively, after allogeneic SCT. One of the four patients developed colon adenocarcinoma 47 months after SCT. Of the six patients with pB-LBL who experienced relapse, one patient died as a result of toxicity of relapse chemotherapy, two died from disease progression after chemotherapy, and three received allogeneic SCT. Of these, two died from subsequent disease progression, and one is still alive 57 months after allogeneic SCT. Conclusion Using modern conventional therapy in the frontline treatment of LBL, 10% of patients suffer from progressive disease or relapse. Because of the extremely poor reinduction success, the salvage rate for these patients is poor, with only a 14% (SE = 6%) overall survival. Long-term survival was only achieved in those few patients who were able to undergo an allogeneic SCT.

    Abstract: Purpose: Capecitabine and oxaliplatin, two new agents with potential synergistic activity, have demonstrated promising antitumor efficacy in advanced colorectal cancer (ACC). Preclinical and clinical evidence indicating that dose intensification of the oral fluorouracil prodrug might result in improved therapeutic results led us to the present randomized multicenter phase II study. Patients and Methods: Eighty-nine patients with bidimensionally measurable ACC previously untreated for metastatic disease were randomly allocated to receive oxaliplatin 130 mg/m 2 day 1 plus capecitabine 2,000 mg/m 2 /d days 1 to 14 every 3 weeks (arm A) or to receive oxaliplatin 85 mg/m 2 days 1 and 14 combined with capecitabine 3,500 mg/m 2 days 1 to 7 and 14 to 21 every 4 weeks (arm B). In both treatment arms, chemotherapy was continued for a total of 6 months unless there was prior evidence of progression of disease. Results: Patients allocated to the high-dose capecitabine combination arm B had a higher radiologically confirmed response rate (54.5% v 42.2%) and a significantly longer median progression-free survival time than those allocated to control arm A (10.5 v 6.0 months; P = .0013). Median overall survival times cannot be calculated for either treatment arm at this point. Despite a 34% higher dose intensity of capecitabine in arm B, there was no difference in hematologic toxicity between treatment arms (neutropenia/thrombocytopenia: 60%/43% in arm B v 56%/33% in arm A). Similarly, the incidence rate and degree of nonhematologic adverse events were comparable: The most commonly encountered symptoms (all grades, arm A and arm B) included nausea/emesis (A: 58%; B: 62%), diarrhea (A: 44%; B: 31%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (A: 80%; B: 83%), and fatigue (A: 40%; B: 50%). Conclusion: Results of this study indicate that both combination regimens are feasible, tolerable, and clinically active. The dose-intensified bimonthly capecitabine arm, however, seems to be more effective in increasing both response rate and progression-free survival time.
