Abstract: Abstract Background Herein, we report results from a genome-wide study conducted to identify protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) for circulating angiogenic and inflammatory protein markers in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The study was conducted using genotype, protein marker, and baseline clinical and demographic data from CALGB/SWOG 80405 (Alliance), a randomized phase III study designed to assess outcomes of adding VEGF or EGFR inhibitors to systemic chemotherapy in mCRC patients. Germline DNA derived from blood was genotyped on whole-genome array platforms. The abundance of protein markers was quantified using a multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from plasma derived from peripheral venous blood collected at baseline. A robust rank-based method was used to assess the statistical significance of each variant and protein pair against a strict genome-wide level. A given pQTL was tested for validation in two external datasets of prostate (CALGB 90401) and pancreatic cancer (CALGB 80303) patients. Bioinformatics analyses were conducted to further establish biological bases for these findings. Results The final analysis was carried out based on data from 540,021 common typed genetic variants and 23 protein markers from 869 genetically estimated European patients with mCRC. Correcting for multiple testing, the analysis discovered a novel cis-pQTL in LINC02869, a long non-coding RNA gene, for circulating TGF-β2 levels (rs11118119; AAF = 0.11; P-value

Abstract: PurposeObservational studies have demonstrated increased colon cancer recurrence and mortality in states of excess energy balance, as denoted by factors including sedentary lifestyle, diabetes, increased dietary glycemic load, and increased intake of sugar-sweetened beverages. Nonetheless, the relation between artificially sweetened beverages, a popular alternative for sugar-sweetened beverages, and colon cancer recurrence and survival is unknown.MethodsWe analyzed data from 1,018 patients with stage III colon cancer who prospectively reported dietary intake during and after chemotherapy while enrolled in a National Cancer Institute-sponsored trial of adjuvant chemotherapy. Using Cox proportional hazards regressions, we assessed associations of artificially sweetened beverage intake with cancer recurrence and mortality.ResultsPatients consuming one or more 12-ounce servings of artificially sweetened beverages per day experienced an adjusted hazard ratio for cancer recurrence or mortality of 0.54 (95% confidence interval, 0.36 to 0.80) when compared to those who largely abstained (Ptrend = .004). Similarly, increasing artificially sweetened beverage intake was also associated with a significant improvement in both recurrence-free survival (Ptrend = .005) and overall survival (Ptrend = .02). Substitution models demonstrated that replacing a 12-ounce serving of a sugar-sweetened beverage with an isovolumetric serving of an artificially sweetened beverage per day was associated with a 23% lower risk of cancer recurrence and mortality (relative risk, 0.77; 95% confidence interval, 0.63 to 0.95; P = .02).ConclusionHigher artificially sweetened beverage consumption may be associated with significantly reduced cancer recurrence and death in patients with stage III colon cancer. This association may be mediated by substitution for sugar-sweetened alternatives. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract: BACKGROUND:In colon cancer patients, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and high dietary glycemic load have been associated with increased risk of cancer recurrence. High sugar-sweetened beverage intake has been associated with obesity, diabetes, and cardio-metabolic diseases, but the influence on colon cancer survival is unknown. METHODS:We assessed the association between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption on cancer recurrence and mortality in 1,011 stage III colon cancer patients who completed food frequency questionnaires as part of a U.S. National Cancer Institute-sponsored adjuvant chemotherapy trial. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated with Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS:Patients consuming ≥ 2 servings of sugar-sweetened beverages per day experienced an adjusted HR for disease recurrence or mortality of 1.67 (95% CI, 1.04-2.68), compared with those consuming

Subjects: General Medicine
Abstract: Objectives Mesothelioma is a lethal disease that arises from the serosal lining of organ cavities. Several recurrent alterations have been observed in pleural and peritoneal mesotheliomas, including in BAP1, NF2, and CDKN2A. Although specific histopathologic parameters have been correlated with prognosis, it is not as well known whether genetic alterations correlate with histologic findings. Methods We reviewed 131 mesotheliomas that had undergone next-generation sequencing (NGS) at our institutions after pathologic diagnosis. There were 109 epithelioid mesotheliomas, 18 biphasic mesotheliomas, and 4 sarcomatoid mesotheliomas. All our biphasic and sarcomatoid cases arose in the pleura. Of the epithelioid mesotheliomas, 73 were from the pleura and 36 were from the peritoneum. On average, patients were 66 years of age (range, 26-90 years) and predominantly male (92 men, 39 women). Results The most common alterations identified were in BAP1, CDKN2A, NF2, and TP53. Twelve mesotheliomas did not show a pathogenic alteration on NGS. For epithelioid mesotheliomas in the pleura, the presence of an alteration in BAP1 correlated with low nuclear grade (P = .04), but no correlation was found in the peritoneum (P = .62). Similarly, there was no correlation between the amount of solid architecture in epithelioid mesotheliomas and any alterations in the pleura (P = .55) or peritoneum (P = .13). For biphasic mesotheliomas, cases with either no alteration detected or with an alteration in BAP1 were more likely to be epithelioid predominant (>50% of the tumor, P = .0001), and biphasic mesotheliomas with other alterations detected and no alteration in BAP1 were more likely to be sarcomatoid predominant (>50% of the tumor, P = .0001). Conclusions This study demonstrates a significant association between morphologic features associated with a better prognosis and an alteration in BAP1.

Subjects: Cancer Research, Oncology
Abstract: Pancreatic cancer is one of the few cancer types in the US with incidence and death rates continuing to rise. As the disease threatens to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the country, it is imperative to review the best practices currently available to extend and improve patient lives. To provide a roadmap for healthcare professionals detecting, diagnosing, and caring for patients with pancreatic cancer as a supplement to national guidelines focused on recommended treatment regimens, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN)’s Scientific and Medical Affairs staff and expert Scientific and Medical Advisory Board have created a series of position statements. The statements are based upon scientific evidence and clinical observations published in the literature and research conducted through PanCAN’s internal programs and initiatives. This review summarizes the rationale and sources for these position statements related to diagnosis, treatment, and care for pancreatic cancer and provides information about resources to make these recommendations accessible to patients and their medical teams. Pancreatic cancer is a complex and extremely challenging disease. Beyond treatment recommendations outlined in national guidelines, steps can be taken to help patients feel better and live longer. Under the framework of the “Right Track” model—right team, right tests, right treatments, data sharing—PanCAN’s position statements can provide supplementary guidance to healthcare professionals for the short- and long-term management of patients with the disease.

Abstract: PURPOSE This randomized, open-label trial compared the efficacy and safety of adjuvant nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine with those of gemcitabine for resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01964430 ). METHODS We assigned 866 treatment-naive patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to nab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m2) + gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2) or gemcitabine alone to one 30-40 infusion on days 1, 8, and 15 of six 28-day cycles. The primary end point was independently assessed disease-free survival (DFS). Additional end points included investigator-assessed DFS, overall survival (OS), and safety. RESULTS Two hundred eighty-seven of 432 patients and 310 of 434 patients completed nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine and gemcitabine treatment, respectively. At primary data cutoff (December 31, 2018; median follow-up, 38.5 [interquartile range [IQR], 33.8-43 months), the median independently assessed DFS was 19.4 ( nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine) versus 18.8 months (gemcitabine; hazard ratio [HR], 0.88; 95% CI, 0.729 to 1.063; P = .18). The median investigator-assessed DFS was 16.6 (IQR, 8.4-47.0) and 13.7 (IQR, 8.3-44.1) months, respectively (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.694 to 0.965; P = .02). The median OS (427 events; 68% mature) was 40.5 (IQR, 20.7 to not reached) and 36.2 (IQR, 17.7-53.3) months, respectively (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.680 to 0.996; P = .045). At a 16-month follow-up (cutoff, April 3, 2020; median follow-up, 51.4 months [IQR, 47.0-57.0]), the median OS (511 events; 81% mature) was 41.8 ( nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine) versus 37.7 months (gemcitabine; HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.687 to 0.973; P = .0232). At the 5-year follow-up (cutoff, April 9, 2021; median follow-up, 63.2 months [IQR, 60.1-68.7]), the median OS (555 events; 88% mature) was 41.8 versus 37.7 months, respectively (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.678 to 0.947; P = .0091). Eighty-six percent ( nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine) and 68% (gemcitabine) of patients experienced grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events. Two patients per study arm died of treatment-emergent adverse events. CONCLUSION The primary end point (independently assessed DFS) was not met despite favorable OS seen with nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine.

Abstract: Gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) is a lethal disease where targeted therapies, even when guided by genomic biomarkers, have had limited efficacy. A potential reason for the failure of such therapies is that genomic profiling results could commonly differ between the primary and metastatic tumors. To evaluate genomic heterogeneity, we sequenced paired primary GEA and synchronous metastatic lesions across multiple cohorts, finding extensive differences in genomic alterations, including discrepancies in potentially clinically relevant alterations. Multiregion sequencing showed significant discrepancy within the primary tumor (PT) and between the PT and disseminated disease, with oncogene amplification profiles commonly discordant. In addition, a pilot analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing demonstrated the feasibility of detecting genomic amplifications not detected in PT sampling. Lastly, we profiled paired primary tumors, metastatic tumors, and cfDNA from patients enrolled in the personalized antibodies for GEA (PANGEA) trial of targeted therapies in GEA and found that genomic biomarkers were recurrently discrepant between the PT and untreated metastases. Divergent primary and metastatic tissue profiling led to treatment reassignment in 32% (9/28) of patients. In discordant primary and metastatic lesions, we found 87.5% concordance for targetable alterations in metastatic tissue and cfDNA, suggesting the potential for cfDNA profiling to enhance selection of therapy.Significance: We demonstrate frequent baseline heterogeneity in targetable genomic alterations in GEA, indicating that current tissue sampling practices for biomarker testing do not effectively guide precision medicine in this disease and that routine profiling of metastatic lesions and/or cfDNA should be systematically evaluated.

Abstract: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a highly lethal cancer of the lining of the chest cavity. To expand our understanding of MPM, we conducted a comprehensive integrated genomic study, including the most detailed analysis of BAP1 alterations to date. We identified histology-independent molecular prognostic subsets, and defined a novel genomic subtype with TP53 and SETDB1 mutations and extensive loss of heterozygosity. We also report strong expression of the immune-checkpoint gene VISTA in epithelioid MPM, strikingly higher than in other solid cancers, with implications for the immune response to MPM and for its immunotherapy. Our findings highlight new avenues for further investigation of MPM biology and novel therapeutic options.Significance:Through a comprehensive integrated genomic study of 74 MPMs, we provide a deeper understanding of histology-independent determinants of aggressive behavior, define a novel genomic subtype with TP53 and SETDB1 mutations and extensive loss of heterozygosity, and discovered strong expression of the immune-checkpoint gene VISTA in epithelioid MPM.See related commentary by Aggarwal and Albelda, p. 1508.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 1494

Abstract: Purpose:Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive cancer associated with poor prognosis. CRS-207 is a live-attenuated Listeria monocytogenes engineered to express mesothelin, a tumor-associated antigen highly expressed in MPM. CRS-207 induces antitumor immune responses and increases susceptibility of neoplastic cells to immune-mediated killing.Patients and Methods:Patients with unresectable MPM, ECOG 0 or 1, and adequate organ and pulmonary function were enrolled in this multicenter, open-label phase Ib study. They received two priming infusions of 1 × 109 CFU CRS-207, followed by pemetrexed/cisplatin chemotherapy, and CRS-207 booster infusions. Primary objectives were safety and induction of immune response. Secondary/exploratory objectives included tumor response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), immune subset analysis, and gene-expression profiling of tumor.Results:Of 35 evaluable patients, 89% (31/35) had disease control with one complete response (3%), 19 partial responses (54%), and 10 stable disease (29%). The estimated median duration of response was 5.0 months (95% CI, 3.9–11.5). The median PFS and OS were 7.5 (95% CI, 7.0–9.9) and 14.7 (95% CI, 11.2–21.9) months, respectively. Tumor size reduction was observed post–CRS-207 infusion prior to chemotherapy in 11 of 35 (31%) patients. No unexpected treatment-related serious adverse events or deaths were observed. IHC analysis of pre- and post–CRS-207 treatment tumor biopsies revealed possible reinvigoration and proliferation of T cells, increased infiltration of dendritic and natural killer cells, increased CD8:Treg ratio, and a shift from immunosuppressive M2-like to proinflammatory M1-like macrophages following CRS-207 administration.Conclusions:Combination of CRS-207 and chemotherapy induced significant changes in the local tumor microenvironment and objective tumor responses in a majority of treated patients.

Abstract: Purpose:Limited options exist for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer progressing after 1 or more lines of therapy. A phase II study in patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer showed that combining GVAX pancreas (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-secreting allogeneic pancreatic tumor cells) with cyclophosphamide (Cy) and CRS-207 (live, attenuated Listeria monocytogenes expressing mesothelin) resulted in median overall survival (OS) of 6.1 months, which compares favorably with historical OS achieved with chemotherapy. In the current study, we compared Cy/GVAX + CRS-207, CRS-207 alone, and standard chemotherapy in a three-arm, randomized, controlled phase IIb trial.Patients and Methods:Patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma were randomized 1:1:1 to receive Cy/GVAX + CRS-207 (arm A), CRS-207 (arm B), or physician's choice of single-agent chemotherapy (arm C). The primary cohort included patients who had failed ≥2 prior lines of therapy, including gemcitabine. The primary objective compared OS between arms A and C in the primary cohort. The second-line cohort included patients who had received 1 prior line of therapy. Additional objectives included OS between all treatment arms, safety, and tumor responses.Results:The study did not meet its primary efficacy endpoint. At the final study analysis, median OS [95% confidence interval (CI)] in the primary cohort (N = 213) was 3.7 (2.9–5.3), 5.4 (4.2–6.4), and 4.6 (4.2–5.7) months in arms A, B, and C, respectively, showing no significant difference between arm A and arm C [P = not significant (NS), HR = 1.17; 95% CI, 0.84–1.64]. The most frequently reported adverse events in all treatment groups were chills, pyrexia, fatigue, and nausea. No treatment-related deaths occurred.Conclusions:The combination of Cy/GVAX + CRS-207 did not improve survival over chemotherapy.

Abstract: PURPOSE Current tools in predicting survival outcomes for patients with colon cancer predominantly rely on clinical and pathologic characteristics, but increasing evidence suggests that diet and lifestyle habits are associated with patient outcomes and should be considered to enhance model accuracy. METHODS Using an adjuvant chemotherapy trial for stage III colon cancer (CALGB 89803), we developed prediction models of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival by additionally incorporating self-reported nine diet and lifestyle factors. Both models were assessed by multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression and externally validated using another trial for stage III colon cancer (CALGB/SWOG 80702), and visual nomograms of prediction models were constructed accordingly. We also proposed three hypothetical scenarios for patients with (1) good-risk, (2) average-risk, and (3) poor-risk clinical and pathologic features, and estimated their predictive survival by considering clinical and pathologic features with or without adding self-reported diet and lifestyle factors. RESULTS Among 1,024 patients (median age 60.0 years, 43.8% female), we observed 394 DFS events and 311 deaths after median follow-up of 7.3 years. Adding self-reported diet and lifestyle factors to clinical and pathologic characteristics meaningfully improved performance of prediction models (c-index from 0.64 [95% CI, 0.62 to 0.67] to 0.69 [95% CI, 0.67 to 0.72] for DFS, and from 0.67 [95% CI, 0.64 to 0.70] to 0.71 [95% CI, 0.69 to 0.75] for overall survival). External validation also indicated good performance of discrimination and calibration. Adding most self-reported favorable diet and lifestyle exposures to multivariate modeling improved 5-year DFS of all patients and by 6.3% for good-risk, 21.4% for average-risk, and 42.6% for poor-risk clinical and pathologic features. CONCLUSION Diet and lifestyle factors further inform current recurrence and survival prediction models for patients with stage III colon cancer.

Abstract: Background Metastatic adenocarcinomas of foregut origin are aggressive and have limited treatment options, poor quality of life, and a dismal prognosis. A subset of such patients with limited metastatic disease might have favorable outcomes with locoregional metastasis-directed therapies. This study investigates the role of sequential cytoreductive interventions in addition to the standard of care chemotherapy in patients with oligometastatic foregut adenocarcinoma. Methods This is a single-center, phase II, open-label randomized clinical trial. Eligible patients include adults with synchronous or metachronous oligometastatic (metastasis limited to two sites and amenable for curative/ablative treatment) adenocarcinoma of the foregut without progression after induction chemotherapy and having undetectable ctDNA. These patients will undergo induction chemotherapy and will then be randomized (1:1) to either sequential curative intervention followed by maintenance chemotherapy versus routine continued chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS), and a total of 48 patients will be enrolled to detect an improvement in the median PFS in the intervention arm with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.5 with 80% power and a one-sided alpha of 0.1. Secondary endpoints include disease-free survival (DFS) in the intervention arm, overall survival (OS), ctDNA conversion rate pre/post-induction chemotherapy, ctDNA PFS, PFS2, adverse events, quality of life, and financial toxicity. Discussion This is the first randomized study that aims to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgical/ablative interventions in patients with ctDNA-negative oligometastatic adenocarcinoma of foregut origin post-induction chemotherapy. The results from this study will likely develop pertinent, timely, and relevant knowledge in oncology.

Abstract: Background: Arginine deprivation with ADI-PEG20 (pegargiminase) alone or combined with chemotherapy displayed antitumor activity in early phase clinical trials of argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1)-deficient cancers, including pleural mesothelioma (PM). The non-epithelioid subtype of mesothelioma is particularly aggressive and arginine-auxotrophic due to frequent ASS1 loss. ATOMIC-meso is a pivotal phase 2-3 trial comparing standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy plus pegargiminase or placebo for patients (pts) with non-epithelioid PM. Methods: In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2-3 trial, we randomly assigned ECOG PS 0-1 pts with chemonaïve non-epithelioid PM in an intention-to-treat 1:1 ratio to receive q3 week SOC chemotherapy with pemetrexed (500mg/m2 i.v.) and cisplatin (75mg/m2 i.v.) with q1 week pegargiminase (36 mg/m2 i.m.) or placebo i.m. up to 6 cycles. Carboplatin (AUC5) was permitted in the phase 3 portion instead of cisplatin. Maintenance therapy with pegargiminase or placebo was continued until progression, toxicity or 24 months. The primary end point was median OS (mOS) and secondary end points included median PFS (mPFS), safety, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity. ORR was assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) for the phase 2 portion only using modified RECIST or RECIST v1.1. Results: 249 pts with non-epithelioid PM (median age 71, range 28-86; male 82.7%; 48.2% biphasic and 51.8% sarcomatoid) from 5 countries were randomized between Aug 2017 and Aug 2021: 125 pts were assigned to the pegargiminase-chemotherapy group and 124 pts to the placebo-chemotherapy group. The experimental arm showed a superior mOS respect to SOC: 9.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.9-11.8) vs. 7.7 months (95% CI, 6.1-9.5) (hazard ratio [HR], 0.71; 95% CI, 0.55-0.93; p=0.023). Also, the mPFS was higher in the experimental vs. control arm: 6.2 months (95% CI, 5.8-7.4) vs. 5.6 months (95% CI, 4.14-5.91) ([HR], 0.65; 95% CI, 0.46-0.90; p=0.019). The ORR by BICR was 13.8% in the pegargiminase-chemotherapy group vs. 13.5% in the placebo-chemotherapy group (p=0.95) with more stable disease in the former (71.3% vs. 62.9%). Plasma arginine declined with a reciprocal increase in citrulline. Anti-ADI-PEG20 antibodies were detected in 97.4% of patients by week 25 on pegargiminase. Grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events to pegargiminase occurred in 28.8% and to placebo in 16.9%; grade ≥ 3 drug hypersensitivity and skin reactions occurred in 3.2% and 1.6% in the experimental arm, respectively, and none on placebo. Post-study drug treatment was comparable in both arms (45.6% post-pegargiminase vs. 46.8% post-placebo). Conclusions: In this first randomized trial of an arginine-depleting chemotherapy in cancer, the pegargiminase-pemetrexed-platinum triplet prolonged survival and had a favorable safety profile in pts with non-epithelioid PM (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02709512) Citation Format: Peter W.

Abstract: Objective: Our aim was to validate the prognostic relevance in NSCLC of potential residual tumor (R) descriptors, including the proposed International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer definition for uncertain resection, referred to as R(un). Methods: A total of 14,712 patients undergoing resection with full R status and survival were analyzed. The following were also evaluated: whether fewer than three N2 stations were explored, lobe-specific nodal dissection, extracapsular extension, highest lymph node station status, carcinoma in situ at the bronchial resection margin, and pleural lavage cytologic examination result. Revised categories of R0, R(un), R1, and R2 were tested for survival impact. Results: In all, 14,293 cases were R0, 263 were R1, and 156 were R2 (median survivals not reached, 33 months, and 29 months, respectively). R status correlated with T and N categories. A total of 9290 cases (63%) had three or more N2 stations explored and 6641 cases (45%) had lobespecific nodal dissection, correlated with increasing pN2. Extracapsular extension was present in 62 of 364 cases with available data (17%). The highest station was positive in 942 cases (6.4%). The pleural lavage cytologic examination result was positive in 59 of 1705 cases (3.5%): 13 had carcinoma in situ at the bronchial resection margin. After reassignment because of inadequate nodal staging in 56% of cases, 6070 cases were R0, 8185 were R(un), 301 were R1, and 156 were R2. In node-positive cases, the median survival times were 70, 50, and 30 months for RO, R(un) (p < 0.0001), and R1 (p < 0.001), respectively, with no significant difference between RO and R(un) in pN0 cases. Conclusions: R descriptors have prognostic relevance, with R(un) survival stratifying between R0 and R1. Therefore, a detailed evaluation of R factor is of particular importance in the design and analyses of clinical trials of adjuvant therapies.

Abstract: Background Limited and conflicting findings have been reported regarding the association between social support and colorectal cancer (CRC) outcomes. We sought to assess the influences of marital status and living arrangement on survival outcomes among patients with stage III colon cancer. Patients and Methods We conducted a secondary analysis of 1082 patients with stage III colon cancer prospectively followed in the CALGB 89803 randomized adjuvant chemotherapy trial. Marital status and living arrangement were both self-reported at the time of enrollment as, respectively, married, divorced, separated, widowed, or never-married, and living alone, with a spouse or partner, with other family, in a nursing home, or other. Results Over a median follow-up of 7.6 years, divorced/separated/widowed patients experienced worse outcomes relative to those married regarding disease free-survival (DFS) (hazards ratio (HR), 1.44 (95% CI, 1.14-1.81); P =.002), recurrence-free survival (RFS) (HR, 1.35 (95% CI, 1.05-1.73); P = .02), and overall survival (OS) (HR, 1.40 (95% CI, 1.08-1.82); P =.01); outcomes were not significantly different for never-married patients. Compared to patients living with a spouse/partner, those living with other family experienced a DFS of 1.47 (95% CI, 1.02-2.11; P = .04), RFS of 1.34 (95% CI, 0.91-1.98; P = .14), and OS of 1.50 (95% CI, 1.00-2.25; P =.05); patients living alone did not experience significantly different outcomes. Conclusion Among patients with stage III colon cancer who received uniform treatment and follow-up within a nationwide randomized clinical trial, being divorced/separated/widowed and living with other family were significantly associated with greater colon cancer mortality. Interventions enhancing social support services may be clinically relevant for this patient population. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00003835

Subjects: Cancer Research, Oncology
Abstract: Background: The 5-year survival rate for metastatic pancreatic cancer is ~3%, indicating an urgent need for novel therapies. Combination therapy with modified FOLFIRINOX (leucovorin, irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin) and immunotherapy has been proposed for first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer to improve tolerability and clinical efficacy, respectively (NCCN, Pancreatic. 2021; Vonderheide, Annu. Rev. Med. 2020). The present study evaluates the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity of modified FOLFIRINOX + giloralimab (CD40 agonist) with or without budigalimab (anti-PD-1) in patients with untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer. Methods: Multicenter, randomized phase 1b/2 study (NCT04807972) in patients (18-75 years) with untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer. The phase 1b (dose escalation) examines the safety dose level of giloralimab in a triplet of modified FOLFIRINOX + giloralimab + budigalimab using a Bayesian optimal interval [BOIN] design. BOIN design is utilized to guide giloralimab escalation decisions. In phase 2 (dose expansion), patients are randomized 1:1:1 to receive treatment with modified FOLFIRINOX (cohort A), modified FOLFIRINOX + giloralimab (cohort B), or modified FOLFIRINOX + giloralimab + budigalimab (cohort C). Randomization is stratified according to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status. Primary objectives are to assess the safety and tolerability of modified FOLFIRINOX + giloralimab + budigalimab (phase 1b) and to evaluate overall survival in patients treated with modified FOLFIRINOX + giloralimab with or without budigalimab (versus those receiving modified FOLFIRINOX alone; phase 2). Secondary objectives include characterizing the pharmacokinetics of giloralimab and budigalimab in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX, assessing the efficacy of modified FOLFIRINOX + giloralimab with or without budigalimab, and evaluating the safety/tolerability of modified FOLFIRINOX + giloralimab with or without budigalimab. Patients will receive giloralimab and budigalimab intravenously in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX in a 28-day cycle. Dose-limiting toxicities are assessed during the first cycle of dosing. Adverse events are evaluated according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis are collected at designated time points throughout the study. Responses are assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Survival outcomes are described using the Kaplan-Meier method. Approximately 129 patients are planned to be included. Enrollment started in June 2021, with 7 patients enrolled as of November 2021.

Abstract: PURPOSE: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive cancer associated with poor prognosis. CRS-207 is a live-attenuated Listeria monocytogenes engineered to express mesothelin, a tumor-associated antigen highly expressed in MPM. CRS-207 induces antitumor immune responses and increases susceptibility of neoplastic cells to immune-mediated killing. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with unresectable MPM, ECOG 0 or 1, and adequate organ and pulmonary function were enrolled in this multicenter, open-label phase Ib study. They received two priming infusions of 1 × 10(9) CFU CRS-207, followed by pemetrexed/cisplatin chemotherapy, and CRS-207 booster infusions. Primary objectives were safety and induction of immune response. Secondary/exploratory objectives included tumor response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), immune subset analysis, and gene-expression profiling of tumor. RESULTS: Of 35 evaluable patients, 89% (31/35) had disease control with one complete response (3%), 19 partial responses (54%), and 10 stable disease (29%). The estimated median duration of response was 5.0 months (95% CI, 3.9–11.5). The median PFS and OS were 7.5 (95% CI, 7.0–9.9) and 14.7 (95% CI, 11.2–21.9) months, respectively. Tumor size reduction was observed post–CRS-207 infusion prior to chemotherapy in 11 of 35 (31%) patients. No unexpected treatment-related serious adverse events or deaths were observed. IHC analysis of pre-and post–CRS-207 treatment tumor biopsies revealed possible reinvigoration and proliferation of T cells, increased infiltration of dendritic and natural killer cells, increased CD8:T(reg) ratio, and a shift from immunosuppressive M2-like to proinflammatory M1-like macrophages following CRS-207 administration. CONCLUSIONS: Combination of CRS-207 and chemotherapy induced significant changes in the local tumor microenvironment and objective tumor responses in a majority of treated patients.

Abstract: Introduction Patients with lung cancer who harbor multiple pulmonary sites of disease have been challenging to classify; a subcommittee of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee was charged with developing proposals for the eighth edition of the tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) classification to address this issue. Methods A systematic literature review and analysis of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer database was performed to develop proposals for revision in an iterative process involving multispecialty international input and review. Results Details of the evidence base are summarized in other articles. Four patterns of disease are recognized; the clinical presentation, pathologic correlates, and biologic behavior of these suggest specific applications of the TNM classification rules. First, it is proposed that second primary lung cancers be designated with a T, N, and M category for each tumor. Second, tumors with a separate tumor nodule of the same histologic type (either suspected or proved) should be classified according to the location of the separate nodule relative to the index tumor—T3 for a same-lobe, T4 for a same-side (different lobe), and M1a for an other-side location—with a single N and M category. Third, multiple tumors with prominent ground glass (imaging) or lepidic (histologic) features should be designated by the T category of the highest T lesion, the number or m in parentheses (#/m) to indicate the multiplicity, and a collective N and M category for all. Finally, it is proposed that diffuse pneumonic-type lung cancers be designated by size (or T3) if in one lobe, T4 if involving multiple same-side lobes, and M1a if involving both lungs with a single N and M category for all areas of involvement. Conclusion We propose to tailor TNM classification of multiple pulmonary sites of lung cancer to reflect the unique aspects of four different patterns of presentation. We hope that this will lead to more consistent classification and clarity in communication and facilitate further research in the nature and optimal treatment of these entities.

Abstract: Over the past two decades, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) Staging Project has been a steady source of evidence-based recommendations for the TNM classification for lung cancer published by the Union for International Cancer Control and the American Joint Committee on Cancer. The Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee of the IASLC is now issuing a call for participation in the next phase of the project, which is designed to inform the ninth edition of the TNM classification for lung cancer. Following the case recruitment model for the eighth edition database, volunteer site participants are asked to submit data on patients whose lung cancer was diagnosed between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2019, to the project by means of a secure, electronic data capture system provided by Cancer Research And Biostatistics in Seattle, Washington. Alternatively, participants may transfer existing data sets. The continued success of the IASLC Staging Project in achieving its objectives will depend on the extent of international participation, the degree to which cases are entered directly into the electronic data capture system, and how closely externally submitted cases conform to the data elements for the project.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Revisions to the TNM stage classifications for lung cancer, informed by the international database (N = 94,708) of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee, need external validation. The objective was to externally validate the revisions by using the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) of the American College of Surgeons.METHODS: Cases presenting from 2000 through 2012 were drawn from the NCDB and reclassified according to the eighth edition stage classification. Clinically and pathologically staged subsets of NSCLC were analyzed separately. The T, N, and overall TNM classifications were evaluated according to clinical, pathologic, and "best" stage (N = 780,294). Multivariate analyses were carried out to adjust for various confounding factors. A combined analysis of the NSCLC cases from both databases was performed to explore differences in overall survival prognosis between the two databases.RESULTS: The databases differed in terms of key factors related to data source. Survival was greater in the IASLC database for all stage categories. However, the eighth edition TNM stage classification system demonstrated consistent ability to discriminate TNM categories and stage groups for clinical and pathologic stage.CONCLUSIONS: The IASLC revisions made for the eighth edition of lung cancer staging are validated by this analysis of the NCDB database by the ordering, statistical differences, and homogeneity within stage groups and by the consistency within analyses of specific cohorts.

Abstract: Nodal categories for malignant pleural mesothelioma are derived from the lung cancer staging system and have not been adequately validated. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer developed a multinational database to generate evidence-based recommendations to inform the eighth edition of the TNM classification of malignant pleural mesothelioma.Data from 29 centers were entered prospectively (n = 1566) or by transfer of retrospective data (n = 1953). Survival according to the seventh edition N categories was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Survival was measured from the date of diagnosis.There were 2432 analyzable cases: 1603 had clinical (c) staging, 1614 had pathologic (p) staging, and 785 had both. For clinically staged tumors there was no separation in Kaplan-Meier curves between cN0, cN1 or cN2 (cN1 versus cN0 hazard ratio [HR] = 1.06, p = 0.77 and cN2 versus cN1 HR = 1.04, p = 0.85). For pathologically staged tumors, patients with pN1 or pN2 tumors had worse survival than those with pN0 tumors (HR = 1.51, p 0.0001) but no survival difference was noted between those with pN1 and pN2 tumors (HR = 0.99, p = 0.99). Patients with both pN1 and pN2 nodal involvement had poorer survival than those with pN2 tumors only (HR = 1.60, p = 0.007) or pN0 tumors (HR = 1.62, p0.0001).A recommendation to collapse both clinical and pN1 and pN2 categories into a single N category comprising ipsilateral, intrathoracic nodal metastases (N1) will be made for the eighth edition staging system. Nodes previously categorized as N3 will be reclassified as N2.

Abstract: Introduction: The M component and TNM stage groupings for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) have been empirical. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer developed a multinational database to propose evidence-based revisions for the eighth edition of the TNM classification of MPM. Methods: Data from 29 centers were submitted either electronically or by transfer of existing institutional databases. The M component as it currently stands was validated by confirming sufficient discrimination (by Kaplan-Meier analysis) with respect to overall survival (OS) between the clinical MO (cM0) and cM1 categories. Candidate stage groups were developed by using a recursive partitioning and amalgamation algorithm applied to all cM0 cases. Results: Of 3519 submitted cases, 2414 were analyzable and 84 were cM1 cases. Median OS for cM1 cases was 9.7 months versus 13.4 months (p = 0.0013) for the locally advanced (T4 or N3) cM0 cases, supporting inclusion of only cM1 in the stage IV group. Exploratory analyses suggest a possible difference in OS for single- versus multiple-site cM1 cases. A recursive partitioning and amalgamation generated survival tree on the OS outcomes restricted to cM0 cases with the newly proposed (eighth edition) T and N components indicates that optimal stage groupings for the eighth edition will be as follows: stage IA (T1N0), stage IB (T2-3N0), stage II (T1-2N1), stage IIIA (T3N1), stage IIIB (T1-3N2 or any T4), and stage IV (any M1). Conclusions: This first evidence-based revision of the TNM classification for MPM leads to substantial changes in the T and N components and the stage groupings.

Abstract: Introduction Stage classification provides a consistent language to describe the anatomic extent of disease and is therefore a critical tool in caring for patients. The Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer developed proposals for revision of the classification of lung cancer for the eighth edition of the tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) classification, which takes effect in 2017. Methods An international database of 94,708 patients with lung cancer diagnosed in 1999–2010 was assembled. This article describes the process and statistical methods used to refine the lung cancer stage classification. Results Extensive analysis allowed definition of tumor, node, and metastasis categories and stage groupings that demonstrated consistent discrimination overall and within multiple different patient cohorts (e.g., clinical or pathologic stage, R0 or R-any resection status, geographic region). Additional analyses provided evidence of applicability over time, across a spectrum of geographic regions, histologic types, evaluative approaches, and follow-up intervals. Conclusions An extensive analysis has produced stage classification proposals for lung cancer with a robust degree of discriminatory consistency and general applicability. Nevertheless, external validation is encouraged to identify areas of strength and weakness; a sound validation should have discriminatory ability and be based on an independent data set of adequate size and sufficient follow-up with enough patients for each subgroup.

Abstract: Introduction It can be difficult to distinguish between a second primary and a metastasis in patients with lung cancer who have more than one pulmonary site of cancer. Methods A systematic review of the literature was conducted by a subcommittee of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee to develop recommendations to identify second primary lung cancers. The process entailed review of knowledge relating to the mechanism of metastasis, determination of clonality, and outcomes of patients with resected tumors. Results It is easier to determine that two tumors are different than that they are the same; finding similarities does not establish that they are the same. For example, most second primary lung cancers are of the same histotype. Few criteria are reliable by themselves; these include different histologic cancer types or matching DNA breakpoints by sequencing and a comprehensive histologic assessment of resected specimens. Characteristics that are suggestive but associated with potential misclassification include the presence or absence of biomarkers, imaging characteristics, and the presence or absence of nodal involvement. Conclusions Clinical and pathologic (i.e., after resection) criteria are presented to identify two foci as separate primary lung cancers versus a metastasis. Few features are definitive; many commonly used characteristics are suggestive but associated with a substantial rate of misclassification. Careful review by a multidisciplinary tumor board, considering all available information, is recommended.

Abstract: Introduction Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is commonly classified as either limited or extensive, but the Union for International Cancer Control TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours seventh edition (2009) recommended tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging based on analysis of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) database. Methods Survival analyses were performed for clinically and pathologically staged patients presenting with SCLC from 1999 through 2010. Prognosis was compared in relation to the TNM seventh edition staging to serve as validation and analyzed in relation to proposed changes to the T descriptors found in the eighth edition. Results There were 5002 patients: 4848 patients with clinical and 582 with pathological stages. Among these, 428 had both. Survival differences were confirmed for T and N categories and maintained in relation to proposed revisions to T descriptors for seventh edition TNM categories and proposed changes in the eighth edition. There were also survival differences, notably at 12 months, in patients with brain-only single-site metastasis (SSM) compared to SSM at other sites, and SSM without a pleural effusion showed a better prognosis than other patients in the M1b category. Conclusion We confirm the prognostic value of clinical and pathological TNM staging in patients with SCLC, and recommend continued usage for SCLC in relation to proposed changes to T, N, and M descriptors for NSCLC in the eighth edition. However, for M descriptors, it remains uncertain whether survival differences in patients with SSM in the brain simply reflect better treatment options rather than better survival based on anatomic extent of disease.

Abstract: Introduction: The current T component for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has been predominantly informed by surgical data sets and consensus. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer undertook revision of the seventh edition of the staging system for MPM with the goal of developing recommendations for the eighth edition. Methods: Data elements including detailed T descriptors were developed by consensus. Tumor thickness at three pleural levels was also recorded. An electronic data capture system was established to facilitate data submission. Results: A total of 3519 cases were submitted to the database. Of those eligible for T-component analysis, 509 cases had only clinical staging, 836 cases had only surgical staging, and 642 cases had both available. Survival was examined for T categories according to the current seventh edition staging system. There was clear separation between all clinically staged categories except T1a versus T1b (hazard ratio = 0.99, p = 0.95) and T3 versus T4 (hazard ratio = 1.22, p = 0.09), although the numbers of T4 cases were small. Pathological staging failed to demonstrate a survival difference between adjacent categories with the exception of T3 versus T4. Performance improved with collapse of T1a and T1b into a single T1 category; no current descriptors were shifted or eliminated. Tumor thickness and nodular or rindlike morphology were significantly associated with survival. Conclusions: A recommendation to collapse both clinical and pathological T1a and T1b into a T1 classification will be made for the eighth edition staging system. Simple measurement of pleural thickness has prognostic significance and should be examined further with a view to incorporation into future staging.

Abstract: The IASLC Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee has collected a new database of 94,708 cases donated from 35 sources in 16 countries around the globe. This has now been analysed by our statistical partners at Cancer Research And Biostatistics and, in close collaboration with the members of the committee proposals have been developed for the T, N, and M categories of the 8th edition of the TNM Classification for lung cancer due to be published late 2016. In this publication we describe the methods used to evaluate the resultant Stage groupings and the proposals put forward for the 8th edition.

Abstract: For nearly 40 years, there was no generally accepted staging system for malignant pleural mesothelioma. In 1994, members of the International Mesothelioma Interest Group, in collaboration with the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, proposed a TNM staging system based on analyses of outcomes in retrospective surgical series and small clinical trials. Subsequently accepted by the American Joint Commission on Cancer and the Union for International Cancer Control for the sixth editions of their staging manuals, this system has since been the international staging standard. However, it has significant limitations, particularly with respect to clinical staging and to the categories for lymph node staging. Here we provide an overview of the development of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer malignant pleural mesothelioma staging database, which was designed to address these limitations through the development of a large international data set. Analyses of this database, described in papers linked to this overview, are being used to inform revisions in the eighth editions of the American Joint Commission on Cancer and Union for International Cancer Control staging systems. ispartof: Journal of Thoracic Oncology vol:11 issue:12 pages:2082-2088 ispartof: location:United States status: published

Abstract: Introduction Separate tumor nodules with the same histologic appearance occur in the lungs in a small proportion of patients with primary lung cancer. This article addresses how such tumors can be classified to inform the eighth edition of the anatomic classification of lung cancer. Separate tumor nodules should be distinguished from second primary lung cancer, multifocal ground glass/lepidic tumors, and pneumonic-type lung cancer, which are addressed in separate analyses. Methods Survival of patients with separate tumor nodules in the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer database were analyzed. This was compared with a systematic literature review. Results Survival of clinically staged patients decreased according to the location of the separate tumor nodule relative to the index tumor (same lobe > same side > other side) in N0 and N-any cohorts (all M0 except possible other-side nodules). However, there was also a decrease in the proportion of patients resected; among only surgically resected or among nonresected patients no survival differences were noted. There were no survival differences between patients with same-lobe nodules and those with other T3 tumors, between patients with same-side nodules and those with T4 tumors, and patients with other-side nodules and those with other M1a tumors. The data correlated with those identified in a literature review. Conclusions Tumors with same-lobe separate tumor nodules (with the same histologic appearance) are recommended to be classified as T3, same-side nodules as T4, and other-side nodules as M1a. Thus, there is no recommended change between the seventh and eighth edition of the TNM classification of lung cancer.

Abstract: Purpose: A phase I clinical trial in patients with advanced carcinomas was conducted using the orally available neurotrophin receptor-linked tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor, CEP-701. The objectives were to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities, and pharmacokinetic profile of this orally administered agent. Patients and methods: A total of 30 patients were accrued to receive escalating BID doses of CEP-701 in cycles lasting 28 days. Between 3 and 6 patients were enrolled at each dose level. Once the MTD was determined, nine de novo patients were recruited to receive that level of drug. Pharmacokinetic studies were performed after the first dose, with additional sampling to assess intraindividual variability. Results: The dosages ranged from 5 mg BID to 160 mg BID. While the criteria for MTD were not met at the dose levels administered, DLTs were observed at 80 and 120 mg BID. Treatment related adverse events, especially of the gastrointestinal system, made CEP-701 poorly tolerated at dosages above 40 mg BID. While CEP-701 did not produce an objective tumor response in any patient, 7 of the 30 patients received treatment for 3 months or more, including 3 who were on study with stable disease for more than 6 months. Orally administered CEP-701 was rapidly absorbed, with a mean tmax between 1 and 3 hours. At higher dose levels, serum drug levels showed greater than dose-proportional increases by Day 28 versus Day 1. Conclusion: CEP-701 40 mg BID was well tolerated by patients with advanced malignancy and is the recommended dose level for planned phase II trials. Further study is necessary to determine the clinical efficacy of this novel new chemotherapeutic agent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Purpose: Observational studies have demonstrated increased colon cancer recurrence in states of relative hyperinsulinemia, including sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and increased dietary glycemic load. Greater coffee consumption has been associated with decreased risk of type 2 diabetes and increased insulin sensitivity. The effect of coffee on colon cancer recurrence and survival is unknown., Patients and Methods: During and 6 months after adjuvant chemotherapy, 953 patients with stage III colon cancer prospectively reported dietary intake of caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and nonherbal tea, as well as 128 other items. We examined the influence of coffee, nonherbal tea, and caffeine on cancer recurrence and mortality using Cox proportional hazards regression., Results: Patients consuming 4 cups/d or more of total coffee experienced an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for colon cancer recurrence or mortality of 0.58 (95% CI, 0.34 to 0.99), compared with never drinkers (Ptrend = .002). Patients consuming 4 cups/d or more of caffeinated coffee experienced significantly reduced cancer recurrence or mortality risk compared with abstainers (HR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.91; Ptrend = .002), and increasing caffeine intake also conferred a significant reduction in cancer recurrence or mortality (HR, 0.66 across extreme quintiles; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.93; Ptrend = .006). Nonherbal tea and decaffeinated coffee were not associated with patient outcome. The association of total coffee intake with improved outcomes seemed consistent across other predictors of cancer recurrence and mortality., Conclusion: Higher coffee intake may be associated with significantly reduced cancer recurrence and death in patients with stage III colon cancer., (© 2015 by American Society of Clinical Oncology.)
