    Abstract Chemoradiotherapy has been considered as one of the standard treatment options for clinical T1bN0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with organ preservation. However, 20% of patients develop locoregional recurrence after chemoradiotherapy, which requires salvage treatment including salvage surgery and endoscopic resection. Salvage surgery can cause complications and treatment-related death. Interestingly, chemoradiotherapy with elective nodal irradiation has been reported to reduce the locoregional recurrence of advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Hence, we are conducting a clinical trial to confirm whether modified chemoradiotherapy with elective nodal irradiation was superiority to that without elective nodal irradiation for the patients with cT1bN0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The primary endpoint is major progression-free survival, defined as the time from randomization to the date of death or disease progression, excluding successful curative resection through salvage endoscopic resection. We plan to enroll 280 patients from 54 institutions over 4 years. This trial has been registered in the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs031200067).

    Abstract Background: Zinc deficiency during long-term chemotherapy and its related symptoms, including skin rash, taste disorders, and oral mucositis, have not been sufficiently investigated.
    Methods: This prospective observational study enrolled patients with gastric and colorectal cancer who underwent standard first-line chemotherapy. According to the Practice Guidelines for Zinc Deficiency, zinc deficiency is defined as a serum level of <60 µg/dL. Serum zinc levels were measured before and after (1, 3, and 6 months) chemotherapy, and symptoms were assessed using the Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 1.0. Repeated measures were analyzed using a generalized linear mixed model.
    Results: Of the 61 enrolled patients, 48 who underwent standard first-line chemotherapy with fluoropyrimidine plus oxaliplatin were analyzed. Zinc deficiency was observed in 18 patients (38%) before chemotherapy. The least-squares means of serum zinc levels significantly decreased at 3 and 6 months of chemotherapy in 30 patients without zinc deficiency at the start of chemotherapy (both P<0.01) but not in 18 with zinc deficiency at the beginning. Changes in serum zinc levels during chemotherapy negatively correlated with changes in taste, rash, and itching (all P<0.04) in patients without zinc deficiency before treatment initiation.
    Conclusions: Serum zinc levels decreased during chemotherapy in zinc-non-deficient patients at the beginning of chemotherapy and correlated with taste changes, skin rash, and itching. Therefore, investigating whether zinc supplementation ameliorates these symptoms is necessary.

    Abstract Renal impairment may be associated with an increased risk of hematologic events (AEs) in patients undergoing treatment with trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI). This study aimed to investigate the specific types of AEs linked to renal impairment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) receiving FTD/TPI, using real-world data. Among the patients included in the REGOTAS study (a retrospective study of FTD/TPI versus regorafenib), those treated with FTD/TPI were evaluated. Creatinine clearance values of < 30, 30-60, 60-90, and > 90 mL/min were defined as severe, moderate, mild renal impairment, and normal renal function, respectively. Renal impairment was analyzed as a risk factor for grade 3 or higher AEs using a logistic regression model. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) based on renal impairment were evaluated. A total of 309 patients were included in the analysis, with 124, 130, and 55 patients divided into the normal, mild, and moderate-to-severe groups, respectively. The risk of grade 3 or higher neutropenia was significantly higher in the moderate-to-severe group (odds ratio 3.47; 95% confidence interval 1.45-8.30; P = 0.005), but there was no significant increase in the risk of non-hematologic AEs in any of the groups. The OS and PFS of patients in the mild and moderate-to-severe groups were comparable to those in the normal group. Patients with mCRC and moderate/severe renal impairment receiving FTD/TPI therapy may develop severe neutropenia; however, FTD/TPI remains a viable treatment option due to its clinical benefit.

    Abstract Background: The TRUSTY study evaluated the efficacy of second-line trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) plus bevacizumab in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
    Objective: This exploratory biomarker analysis of TRUSTY investigated the relationship between baseline plasma concentrations of angiogenesis-related factors and cell-free DNA (cfDNA), and the efficacy of FTD/TPI plus bevacizumab in patients with mCRC.
    Patients and methods: The disease control rate (DCR) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between baseline plasma samples of patients with high and low plasma concentrations (based on the median value) of angiogenesis-related factors. Correlations between cfDNA concentrations and PFS were assessed.
    Results: Baseline characteristics (n = 65) were as follows: male/female, 35/30; median age, 64 (range 25-84) years; and RAS status wild-type/mutant, 29/36. Patients in the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-low and interleukin (IL)-8-low groups had a significantly higher DCR (risk ratio [95% confidence intervals {CIs}]) than patients in the HGF-high (1.83 [1.12-2.98]) and IL-8-high (1.70 [1.02-2.82]) groups. PFS (hazard ratio {HR} [95% CI]) was significantly longer in patients in the HGF-low (0.33 [0.14-0.79]), IL-8-low (0.31 [0.14-0.70]), IL-6-low (0.19 [0.07-0.50]), osteopontin-low (0.39 [0.17-0.88]), thrombospondin-2-low (0.42 [0.18-0.98]), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1-low (0.26 [0.10-0.67]) groups versus those having corresponding high plasma concentrations of these angiogenesis-related factors. No correlation was observed between cfDNA concentration and PFS.
    Conclusion: Low baseline plasma concentrations of HGF and IL-8 may predict better DCR and PFS in patients with mCRC receiving FTD/TPI plus bevacizumab, however further studies are warranted.

    Abstract Background: Paclitaxel plus ramucirumab (PTX + RAM) is the standard second-line chemotherapy for unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer (AGC). Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX) is an improved, more convenient form of PTX and is non-inferior to PTX. Although some retrospective and single-arm phase II studies regarding nab-PTX + RAM have been reported, comparative studies are lacking. Here, we compared the efficacy and toxicity of nab-PTX + RAM and PTX + RAM using propensity score matching.
    Methods: Clinical data of 265 patients treated for AGC with nab-PTX + RAM or PTX + RAM were retrospectively collected. Nab-PTX was administered at dosages of 100 mg/m
    Results: In total, 190 (72%) patients were matched. The median PFS was 5.3 [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.4-6.3] and 4.7 (95% CI 3.2-5.3) months in the nab-PTX + RAM and PTX + RAM groups, respectively [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.76, 95% CI 0.56-1.03, p = 0.07]. The median OS was 11.5 (95% CI 9.2-15.0) and 9.9 (95% CI 8.0-12.7) months, respectively (HR = 0.78, 95% CI 0.56-1.07, p = 0.12). Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia was observed more frequently in the nab-PTX + RAM group (72% vs. 56%, p = 0.03). No treatment-related deaths occurred.
    Conclusions: Nab-PTX + RAM exhibited more favorable trends in terms of PFS and OS but was more myelosuppressive than PTX + RAM. As neutropenia is commonly manageable toxicity, nab-PTX + RAM presents a treatment alternative for AGC. Further studies including randomized, controlled studies are warranted.

    Abstract Papulopustular rash, an acneiform rash, appears on the seborrheic region during the first to second week of treatment with an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRi). The rash gradually disappears after the fourth week; however, it persists or newly develops in other regions during EGFRi treatment. Because Staphylococcus aureus is frequently isolated from late-phase papulopustular rash, we assessed the incidence of bacterial infection and treatment outcomes of patients with late-phase papulopustular rash. Sixty-four cases treated with an EGFRi over 4 weeks who presented with papulopustular rash were assessed retrospectively. The median duration of EGFR inhibitor treatment was 5 months. Grade 2 and 3 papulopustular rash was observed in 47 and eight cases, respectively. Bacterial culture was performed in 51 cases, 50 of which yielded positive results: methicillin-sensitive S. aureus in 29, methicillin-resistant S. aureus in 14, Staphylococcus species in five, Pseudomonas aeruginosa in three, and other in four cases. Of the S. aureus isolates, 42% were resistant to minocycline and 40% to levofloxacin. After treatment with topical and/or oral antibiotics without topical corticosteroids, the papulopustular rash rapidly improved by an average of 2.9 ± 3.4 weeks. However, use of a combination of antibiotics and a topical corticosteroid prolonged the recovery period to an average of 18.9 ± 11.4 weeks. In conclusion, folliculitis that develops over 4 weeks after the initiation of EGFRi treatment is typically caused by staphylococcal infection. Bacterial culture is necessary due to the high rate of antibiotic resistance. It is important to distinguish late- from early-phase papulopustular rash and to treat using different approaches.

    Abstract Background: Liquid biopsy is an alternative to tissue specimens for tumour genotyping. However, the frequency of genomic alterations with low circulating-tumour DNA (ctDNA) shedding is shown in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We, therefore, investigated the prevalence of KRAS mutations and ctDNA fraction by the metastatic site in patients with PDAC.
    Methods: This study enrolled previously treated PDAC patients from a plasma genomic profiling study; ctDNA analysis was performed using Guardant360 at disease progression before initiating subsequent treatment.
    Results: In 512 patients with PDAC, KRAS mutations were detected in 57%. The frequency of KRAS mutation in ctDNA differed depending on the metastatic organ; among patients with single-organ metastasis (n = 296), KRAS mutation detection rate was significantly higher in patients with metastasis to the liver (78%). In addition, the median maximum variant allele frequency (VAF) was higher with metastasis to the liver (1.9%) than with metastasis to the lungs, lymph nodes, peritoneum or with locally advanced disease (0.2%, 0.4%, 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively).
    Conclusion: The prevalence of KRAS mutations and maximum VAF were higher in patients with metastasis to the liver than in those with metastasis to other sites. This study indicated the clinical utility of ctDNA analysis, especially in PDAC with liver metastases.

    Abstract Background: Trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) improved the overall survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who had previously received standard chemotherapies; however, the clinical outcomes remain poor.
    Objective: A multicenter phase II study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of FTD/TPI plus cetuximab rechallenge.
    Patients and methods: Patients with histologically confirmed RAS wild-type mCRC refractory to prior anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) antibody were enrolled and treated with FTD/TPI (35 mg/m
    Results: A total of 56 patients (median age 60 years; left-sided tumors 91%; objective partial or complete response during the prior anti-EGFR therapy 61%) were enrolled. The DCR was 54% (80% confidence interval [CI] 44-63; P = 0.12), with a partial response rate of 3.6%. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.4 months (95% CI 2.1-3.7). In the circulating tumor DNA analysis, patients without any alterations of the six genes (n = 20) demonstrated higher DCR (75% vs. 39%; P = 0.02) and longer PFS (median 4.7 vs. 2.1 months; P < 0.01) than those with any gene alterations (n = 33). The most common grade 3/4 hematologic adverse event was neutropenia (55%). No treatment-related deaths occurred.
    Conclusions: FTD/TPI plus cetuximab rechallenge did not demonstrate clinically meaningful efficacy in all mCRC patients, but might be beneficial for the molecularly selected population.

    Abstract Background/aim: In later-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), trifluridine/tipiracil is often selected because regorafenib is difficult to use in patients with comorbidities such as thrombosis, hemorrhage, or cardiac events. However, the safety and efficacy of trifluridine/tipiracil in these patients is not clear.
    Patients and methods: The clinical outcomes of trifluridine/tipiracil were retrospectively investigated in patients who were ineligible for regorafenib because of comorbidities.
    Results: Among the 27 patients who received trifluridine/tipiracil, many had comorbidities of deep venous thrombosis or hemorrhage. The median overall survival was 12.4 months, and the median progression-free survival was 2.8 months. The median overall survival was 7.7 months in 19 patients without subsequent regorafenib. Grade 3 or higher toxicities were found in 51% of patients. No treatment discontinuation because of comorbidities was observed.
    Conclusion: Trifluridine/tipiracil can be safely administered while maintaining efficacy in patients who were ineligible for regorafenib.
