e15114 Background: In a previous study, IFL was used in patients (pt) with untreated metastatic colon cancer and a median overall survival (MOS) of 31 months (m). In the current study we added B to IFL to determine toxicity profiles (TP) and the response rate (RR) to the B-IFL regimen. The primary end-point is MOS Methods: Each cycle involved 6 weeks (wks) of treatment. The treatment cycle consisted of a 90 minute infusion of I (110 mg/m2), followed by a 24 hour infusion of F (120mg/kg) and L (500 mg/m2) on wks 1, 2, 4, 5. Pt received B (7.5mg/kg) over 90 minutes on wks 1 and 4 prior to IFL. No therapy was given on wks 3 and 6. Eligible pt received 2 cycles of B-IFL followed by CT scan. Quality of life data and thymidylate synthase expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was monitored Results: 22 pt with a median age of 57 (38–82), 11 males and 11 females were enrolled. Median KPS was 90% (50–100). 8 pt (36%) had bilobar liver disease and involvement of 1 other organ, 6 pt (27%) had bilobar liver disease with involvement of ≥ 2 other organs; 5 pt (23.5%) had bilobar liver disease; 2 pt (9%) had abdominal carcinomatosis; 1 pt (4.5 %) had involvement in one liver lobe. Grade (Gr) 4 toxicity: pulmonary embolus 1 pt (5%) incidental CT finding. Gr 3 occurred in 11 pt (50%); DVT, diarrhea (Drh) 3 pt (14%); fatigue (Ftg), infection, port site thrombosis (Pst), small bowel obstruction 2 pt (9%); wound dehiscence 1pt (5%); Gr 2 and 1: constipation; Drh; Ftg; nausea; neutropenia; Pst; alopecia; anorexia; mucositis. 17 pt remain alive with median follow up of 15 m (2–28). 5 pt have died due to progression of disease. The estimated median time to progression was 13 m with corresponding lower 95% confidence bound of 8.4 m. Kaplan-Meier estimate at 2 yr survival is 61% (95% CI 27–83%). RR in 21 pt was 67% (95% CI: 43–85%). Conclusions: B-IFL regimen has a manageable TP. RR and progression free interval were promising. Pt accrual is ongoing. Supported by Pfizer.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
