GRECO-2: A randomized, phase 2 study of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in combination with rucosopasem (GC4711) in the treatment of locally advanced or borderline resectable nonmetastatic pancreatic cancer. (Available On Demand; 157a) - Apr 28, 2022 - Abstract #ASCO2022ASCO_2019; P2b In a pilot phase 1/2 trial in patients with pancreatic cancer, avasopasem, a dismutase mimetic related to rucosopasem, nearly doubled median overall survival in patients receiving SBRT vs placebo plus SBRT...Materials/ GRECO-2 is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (NCT04698915) to determine the effect of adding rucosopasem to SBRT on overall survival in patients with borderline resectable or locally advanced, unresectable nonmetastatic pancreatic cancer following initial chemotherapy with a FOLFIRINOX-based regimen or a gemcitabine doublet...Exploratory endpoints include PRO-CTCAE and CA19-9 normalization. This trial is now enrolling.

First-line lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: LEAP-014 trial in progress. (Available On Demand; 149a) - Apr 28, 2022 - Abstract #ASCO2022ASCO_2003; P3 In part 2 (main study), approximately 850 patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to induction with pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib plus chemotherapy (FP or mFOLFOX6 [Q2W for 6 cycles {IV oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 plus bolus IV 5-FU 400 mg/m2 plus continuous IV 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 plus IV leucovorin 400 mg/m2 or IV levoleucovorin 200 mg/m2}]) followed by consolidation with pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib (arm 1) or pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy (FP or mFOLFOX6; arm 2)...In part 2, the dual primary end points are overall survival and progression-free survival (per RECIST v1.1 assessed by blinded independent central review [BICR]); secondary end points include objective response rate and duration of response (per RECIST v1.1 assessed by BICR) and safety and tolerability. Enrollment in this trial is ongoing.
- |||||||||| Preoperative chemoradiation (CRT) with carboplatin (CBP)/paclitaxel (PCL) (CP) or with 5-fluorouracil (FU)/oxaliplatin (OX) (Fx) for esophageal or junctional cancer: A randomized phase 2 trial. (Available On Demand; 3) - Apr 28, 2022 - Abstract #ASCO2022ASCO_1841;
P2 Following randomization (balanced by ECOG PS 0 vs 1-2, stage II vs III, squamous-cell (SCC) vs adenocarcinoma (ADK), center), pts received CP (AUC2 CBP plus PCL 50mg/m² / week x 5 weeks), or Fx (FU 400 mg/m² bolus Day 1, then FU 1600 mg/m² continuous infusion over 2 days, plus OX 85 mg/m², and Folinic acid 200 mg/m², 2-h infusion, Day 1; 3 cycles every 2 weeks). When combined to preoperative radiation therapy at 41.4Gy, both regimens (CP and Fx) provided short-term benefit on R0 resection; however, CP is associated with a severe postoperative morbidity rate higher than expected.

PD-1 blockade boosted chemo-target therapy in cT4NxM0 pMMR/MSS colorectal cancer. () - Apr 28, 2022 - Abstract #ASCO2022ASCO_1548; Neoadjuvant Sintilimab combined with Bevacizumab and mFOLFOX6 was associated with few side effects, did not delay surgery and lead to a striking 56% and 78% complete and major pathological response. Stroma down-regulation of CD3 or CD3/CD4 expression was related to pCR.
