Introduction. 60% of patients operated for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) will develop recurrent disease and some may be candidates for a repeated liver resection. The study aimed to evaluate differences in intraoperative blood loss and complications comparing the primary and the repeated liver resection for metastases of colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as to evaluate differences in long-time follow-up.Method. 32 patients underwent 34 repeated liver resections due to recurrence of CRLM an studied retrospectively to identify potential differences between the primary and the repeat resections.Results. There was no 30-day postoperative mortality or postoperative hospital deaths. The median blood loss at repeat resection (1850 mL) was significantly (P=0.014) higher as compared to the primary liver resection (1000 mL). This did not have any effect on the rate of complications, even though increased bleeding in itself was a risk factor for complications. There were no differences in survival at long-term follow-up.Discussion. A repeated liver resection for CRLM was associated with an increased intraoperative bleeding as compared to the first resection. Possible explanations include presence of adhesions, deranged vascular anatomy, more complicated operations and the effects on the liver by chemotherapy following the first liver resection. 30 out of 32 patients had only one reresection of the liver.

4112 Background: Gender predicted for the most effective schedule in a RT of ChronoFLO vs CONV against MCC: overall survival (OS) was significantly increased in men on chronoFLO vs FOLFOX, whereas the reverse was found in women (Giacchetti, JCO 2006). Methods: To assess the relevance of gender for patient (pt) outcome, meta-analysis was performed on individual pt data (IPD) from 3 RT in 845 MCC pts treated with chronoFLO vs CONV (346 F, 499 M at 36 centers in 1990–2002)(Lévi, JNCI 1994; Lancet 1997). Data bases were merged and updated at 9 y after inclusion of the 1st pt. Main prognostic factors were comparable in each RT according to gender and treatment arm (median age: 61y; PS=0, 46% pts; liver M, 85% pts; liver involvement >25%, 41% pts; lung M, 37% pts; CEA>10, 56% pts). Results: No significant difference was found according to delivery schedule or gender in the whole population for Response Rate (RR), Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and OS. However, men on chronoFLO had highest RR, longest PFS and OS. PFS and OS were highest in women on CONV ( Table ). The rate of complete macroscopic resections of liver metastases (R0+R1) was 12.5% in men on chronoFLO vs 7.8–8.5% in men on CONV or in women on either schedule. A complete histologic response of liver metastases was documented in 2.1% of the men on chronoFLO vs 0–1.1% in the other groups. The relative risk of an earlier death in men vs women was 0.76 [95% CL, 0.91 to 0.94] on chronoFLO and 1.24 [0.99 to 1.56] on CONV. Conclusions: This IPD meta-analysis of 3 RT in MCC with a minimum follow up of 5 years confirms that men benefit from chronoFLO as compared to CONV delivery, with regard to long term outcome and medico-surgical strategy. ChronoFLO should be preferred to conventional oxaliplatin-5-FU-LV schedules in men with MCC. Support: ARTBC Internationale, P. Brousse Hospital, Villejuif, France.

Abstract Background: Antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-based immunosuppressive therapy (IST) has been successfully used as the first-line treatment for severe / very severe aplastic anemia (SAA/VSAA) patients if no HLA-matched sibling donor was eligible for HSCT as a first choice. It was reported rabbit ATG (rATG) produced more profound immunosuppressive activity compared to horse ATG (hATG). However, recent clinical studies indicated that the stronger lympholytic activity did not mean that rATG was more effective. Most experiences from adult SAA/VSAA implied the efficacy of rATG was worse than hATG. However, susceptibility of children to intensive IST might not be exactly the same as adult patients, long-term efficacy of rATG in historic studies for children with SAA/VSAA was still elusive. Purpose: This study includes the largest cohort of pediatric AA patients treated with first-line rATG+CSA regimen published to date after a median follow-up of 69 months, aiming to assess the long-term outcome of rATG for children, and to identify the significant prior factors in clinical decision making. Methods: We reviewed 231 SAA/VSAA patients under 18 years old assigned to rATG+CSA from February 2000 to May 2014 in Department of Pediatrics, the Blood Diseases Hospital & Institute of Hematology, CAMS & PUMC. Response was evaluated 3, 6, 9, 12 24, 36 and 60 months after IST. We separately defined SAA-II as a specific type of gradually progressed SAA from a NSAA status within a longer period for at least 6 months. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the effects of variables on the responses at different time points. Multivariate Cox model analysis of overall survival (OS) and failure-free survival (FFS) was calculated for variables with a log rank P value less than 0.1 in Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: Of the overall patients, the total responded patients were 79(34.3%), 110(51.6%), and 129 (60.6%) at 6, 9, 12 months following IST, respectively. Intriguingly, 22 patients achieved delayed response between 12 months and 24months after IST, which increased the overall response rate by 10.2%, afterwards the rate reached a plateau by 3 years with the best response rate of 74.6% (Figure 1). Differences in baseline clinical parameters pre-IST were associated with response to IST. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) less than 0.1*109/L was associated with an unfavorable early response rate at 6 months (P=0.009); absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) less than 1.6*109/L was a significant predictor for better response by 6 months and 12 months in multivariate analysis [6 months, P=0.033 vs. 12 months, P=0.021]. Lower absolute reticulocyte count (ARC no more than 18.5*109/L) predicted worse late IST response by 2 years and 3 years. In our large series of cohort, 5-year OS and FFS were 82.7% and 61.9%. Patients with VSAA as a significantly unfavorable prognostic factor had a much lower probability of 5-year survival when compared to patients diagnosed with SAA (76.4% vs. 87.2%, P<0.001, Figure2A). In multivariate analysis, SAA-II (P=0.021, Figure2B), and a pretreatment lower ARC (P=0.020, Figure2C) were independent unfavorable prognostic factors for FFS, but moderate PNH clone size (more than 5%) was verified as a good predictor for FFS (P=0.006, Figure 2D). At the last follow-up, twelve of the 135 responders relapsed after IST, meanwhile eight patients in responders and seven patients in non-responders experienced clonal evolution after IST, corresponding to cumulative incidences at 5.2% of relapse and 6.5% of evolution, which were obviously lower than previous reports. Conclusions: The combination of rATG and CSA was confirmed as an effective first-line therapy for children with SAA/VSAA in our cohort. We discerned a protracted recovery but an ultimately comparable long-term outcome of rATG. Baseline blood parameters (ANC, ALC, ARC) were predictive factors of response rate. Intensive supportive care may be necessarily pivotal to survival in cases of VSAA. Importantly, moderate PNH clone might be beneficial to FFS. Besides, for those who experienced gradually progressed disease course, early HSCT might be a more preferable option than receiving IST although further validation remains to be done.

Abstract Abstract 1795 Introduction. The combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) has become the core combination of modern frontline chemotherapy for fit and young B-CLL patients (pts). Recently the association with rituximab to FC (IV administration) has been shown to increase the response and extend both progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in untreated pts (Hallek et al., Lancet 2010). So far few data are available concerning the very long term outcome of pts treated by FC containing regimen. Methods. We previously reported a prospective phase II trial (Cazin et al., BJH 2008) of the oral combination of FC over 5 days in 75 patients with untreated B-CLL and less than 66 years old. The study was conducted between October 1999 and February 2001. Briefly, oral FC then demonstrated high efficacy with overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) rate of 80% and 53% respectively despite the absence of rituximab in this regimen. We here propose to examine 10-year end points of progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), impact of genomic features, and risk of therapy-related myeloid neoplasm (t-MN) by updating survival data of all the pts incuded in this trial. Results. With a median follow-up of 10.7 years, the median 10-year OS was 51.7%. Responders presented better 10-year OS than non-responders (57% vs. 38%, p=0.031) but quality of response (CR vs. PR) did not significantly impact 10-year OS. A major prognostic impact of IGVH mutational status could be observed since 10-year OS was 81% for mutated patients vs. 44% for unmutated pts (p=0.012). The median 10-year PFS was 30% and clearly influenced by the mutational status (50% if mutated profile vs. 12% if unmutated profile, p=0.02). However there is no trend of a plateau and even long term responding patients still relapse with time. Finally, only one patient developed t-MN but 9 others presented solid neoplasms. Conclusion. Long-term follow-up of B-CLL patients prospectively treated in a phase II clinical trial demonstrates extended OS and PFS with oral FC without high risk of t-MN. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
