199 Background: We previously reported that genetic variant in the CCL5/CCR5 pathway predict efficacy of regorafenib in metastatic colorectal cancer patients (mCRC). CCL5 rs2280789 G allele and CCL5 rs3817655 T allele were associated with longer overall survival (OS) and severe skin toxicity due to low VEGF-A production via endothelial progenitor cell (EPC). CCL4 rs1634517 G allele and CCL3 rs1130371 C allele correlated with longer Progression-free survival (PFS) and OS. We investigated the biological role of CCL4 and CCL3 gene polymorphisms. Methods: We analyzed genomic DNA extracted from 79 samples of a Japanese cohort receiving regorafenib. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes in CCL5/CCR5 pathway were analyzed by PCR-based direct sequencing. Blood samples were obtained from 57 patients at baseline (BL), day 21 and progressive disease (PD), and serum CCR5, CCR5 ligands (CCL3, CCL4, CCL5) and VEGF-A levels were measured using ELISA. PFS and OS were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test. Results: Increased CCL3 levels at PD were associated with longer OS than decreased (12.6 vs 4.8 mos, P = 0.003). Patients with decreased CCL4 levels at day 21 had a trend toward longer PFS and tumor shrinkage. Positive correlation was observed between CCL3 and CCR5 throughout the treatment independent of other ligands (change at day 21: r = 0.426, P = 0.009). There was no significant correlation of CCL3 and CCL4 levels with VEGF-A levels. Patients with the G/G variant in CCL3 rs1130371 had increased CCL3, CCR5 and CCL5 levels at day 21 than any A allele. Similarly, patients with the C/C variant had increased CCL3, CCR5 and CCL5 levels at day 21 compared with those with any A allele. In contrast, both CCL5 rs2280789 G allele and CCL5 rs3817655 T allele were associated with increased CCL3 levels and decreased CCL4 levels at day 21 (P = 0.006, P = 0.043; P = 0.006, P = 0.043). Conclusions: Positive correlation of CCL3, CCR5 and CCL5 impact similarly on CCL3 and CCL4 SNPs, while different manner between CCL3 and CCL4 was found in CCL5 SNPs. This suggests an alternative mechanism of action in the network of CCR5 and the ligands except CCL5-VEGF-A signaling via EPC in mCRC patients receiving regorafenib.

Cetuximab, an IgG1 EGFR-directed antibody, promotes antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. We hypothesized that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in immune regulatory pathways may predict outcomes in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with cetuximab-based regimens. A total of 924 patients were included: 105 received cetuximab in IMCL-0144 and cetuximab/irinotecan in GONO-ASL608LIOM01 (training cohort), 225 FOLFIRI/cetuximab in FIRE-3 (validation cohort 1), 74 oxaliplatin/cetuximab regimens in JACCRO CC-05/06 (validation cohort 2), and 520 FOLFIRI/bevacizumab in FIRE-3 and TRIBE (control cohorts). Twelve SNPs in five genes (IDO1; PD-L1; PD-1; CTLA-4; CD24) were evaluated by PCR-based direct sequencing. We analyzed associations between genotype and clinical outcomes. In the training cohort; patients with the CD24 rs52812045 A/A genotype had a significantly shorter median PFS and OS than those with the G/G genotype (PFS 1.3 vs. 3.6 months; OS 2.3 vs. 7.8 months) in univariate (PFS HR 3.62; p = 0.001; OS HR 3.27; p = 0.0004) and multivariate (PFS HR 3.18; p = 0.009; OS HR 4.93; p = 0.001) analyses. Similarly; any A allele carriers in the JACCRO validation cohort had a significantly shorter PFS than G/G carriers (9.2 vs. 11.8 months; univariate HR 1.90; p = 0.011; multivariate HR 2.12; p = 0.018). These associations were not demonstrated in the control cohorts. CD24 genetic variants may help select patients with metastatic colorectal cancer most likely to benefit from cetuximab-based therapy.

The nucleoside trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS-102) and the multikinase inhibitor regorafenib significantly improved survival in metastatic colorectal cancer patients (mCRC). Both treatments are characterized by different treatment-related adverse events but detailed analyses of predictive side effects are rare. In this retrospective, observational, real-life study, clinical data on mCRC patients treated with trifluridine/tipiracil or regorafenib at the Medical University of Vienna, Austria and the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland were collected. The correlation between adverse events and response or survival rates were calculated performing Fisher’s exact test and log-rank test, respectively. Common adverse events of any grade included fatigue (52%), nausea/vertigo (34%), anemia (26%), and leukopenia (22%) in trifluridine/tipiracil patients and fatigue (42%), hand-foot-skin syndrome (36%) and hoarseness (34%) in patients upon regorafenib treatment. In trifluridine/tipiracil patients the prevalence of leukopenia (p = 0.044) and weight loss (p = 0.044) was prognostic, whereas leukopenia (p = 0.044) and neutropenia (p = 0.043) predicted PFS. The disease control rate was not significantly affected. In regorafenib-treated patients, the prevalence of nausea (p = 0.001) was prognostic, while oral mucositis predicted PFS (p = 0.032) as well as the DCR (p = 0.039). In conclusion, we underline the efficacy of trifluridine/tipiracil and regorafenib in the real-life setting. We describe predictive adverse events like neutropenia/leukopenia, which might be used as surrogate marker in anticancer therapy beyond second line treatment.

596 Background: CCL5/CCR5 pathway is known to mediate VEGF-A production. A recent study reported that serum VEGF-A and CCL5 levels predict efficacy of regorafenib in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We tested whether genetic polymorphisms in the CCL5/CCR5 pathway are associated with outcomes in patients with refractory mCRC treated with regorafenib. Methods: We analyzed genomic DNA extracted from 229 samples of two cohorts receiving regorafenib: an evaluation cohort of 79 patients (median age 62 years, male 47%, median follow-up time 15.3 months); and a validation cohort of 150 patients (median age 62 years, male 54%, median follow-up time 36.4 months). Nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes in CCL5/CCR5 pathway ( CCL5, CCR5, PRCKD, CCL3, CCL4, KLF13, HIF1A) were analyzed by PCR-based direct sequencing. Associations between SNPs with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test. Multivariable analyses including SNP and baseline characteristics were performed using the Cox proportional hazard regression model. Results: In the evaluation cohort, patients with any A allele in CCL4 rs1634517 had a significant shorter PFS compared to those with the C/C variant (2.0 vs. 2.5 months, HR 1.54, P= 0.043). Patients carrying any A allele in CCL3 rs1130371 had marginally significant shorter PFS (2.0 vs. 2.5 months, HR 1.48, P= 0.064) than those with the G/G variant. In the validation cohort, Patients with any A allele in CCL4 rs1634517 had a shorter PFS (1.8 vs. 2.3 months, HR 1.74, P= 0.001) and OS (4.4 vs. 7.9 months, HR 1.65, P= 0.004) compared to those with the C/C variant. It remained significant in multivariable analysis for PFS and OS ( P= 0.012 and 0.041). Patients carrying any A allele in CCL3 rs1130371 had a shorter PFS (1.8 vs. 2.3 months, HR 1.66, P= 0.002) and OS (4.4 vs. 7.9 months, HR 1.65, P= 0.004) than those with the G/G variant; these effects were significant in multivariable model (PFS: P= 0.027; OS: P= 0.047). Conclusions: Genetic variants in the CCL5/CCR5 pathway, CCL4 rs1634517 and CCL3 rs1130371, may serve as predictive and prognostic markers in refractory mCRC patients receiving regorafenib.
