Biliary-Related Events (BREs) in Pancreatic Cancer (PC) Patients (Pts) (Livestream Frontenac, CC, 1st Floor) - May 22, 2022 - Abstract #MASCCISOO2022MASCC_ISOO_290; Methods Retrospective evaluation of BREs in patients treated with FOLFIRINOX or Gemcitabine based treatments,in adjuvant and locally advanced settings at our Institution; from January 2016 to July 2020.SPSS was used for data analysis...Md follow-up time of 21months(m; [21.6-30.3],21 deaths seen(66%).The md overall survival (OS) of the population was 15m(8.7-21.3).A shorter OS related to BREs during chemotherapy(20vs11m,p=0.018) and hospital admissions(24vs9m,p=0.004).Biliary stent prior to starting chemotherapy associated to a shorter OS (p=0.846). Conclusions BREs lead to multiple hospital admissions, increasing mortality in PC Pts.Prophylactics strategies, such as antibiotics have been proposed in previous trials.Prospective studies are warranted.

P2 data, Clinical Trial,Phase II, Journal, Combination therapy: Perioperative treatment in resectable gastric cancer with spartalizumab in combination with fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin and docetaxel (FLOT): a phase II study (GASPAR). (Pubmed Central) - May 21, 2022 P2 Currently, no trials have investigated the impact of immunotherapy in combination with FLOT chemotherapy as perioperative treatment for resectable gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma. Some studies have suggested a change in the tumor immune micro-environment following neoadjuvant chemotherapy in this setting, reinforcing the relevance to propose a phase II trial evaluating efficacy and safety of Spartalizumab in combination with perioperative chemotherapy, with the aim of improving treatment efficacy and survival outcomes.
