Abstract
110 Background: Clinical efficacy of Yttrium-90 (90Y) radioembolization (TARE) for patients with chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is limited by extrahepatic disease progression. TAS-102 (trifluride and tipiracil) has overall survival benefit for patients with refractory mCRC and may be a radiosensitizer. We aimed to evaluate the safety of the combination of TAS-102 and 90Y resin TARE in a Phase I dose-escalation trial. Methods: Adult patients with bilobar liver-dominant chemo-refractory mCRC were treated with sequential Y90 resin TARE (body surface area dosimetry) in combination with TAS-102 (20mg/m2, 27mg/m2, and 35mg/m2) in 28-day cycles according to 3+3 dose-escalation design. Beginning with cycle 3, TAS-102 was administered as monotherapy until disease progression or development of intolerable toxicity. Primary objectives were to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TAS-102, to assess toxicity, and to establish safety of TAS-102 in combination with 90Y TARE. Results: A total of 14 patients (10 women, 4 men) have been treated to date. Among 9 patients enrolled in the dose-escalation phase, no dose limiting toxicities were observed. The MTD of TAS-102 in combination with Y90 was 35mg/m2, which was selected for the dose expansion phase. Severe adverse events (AEs) included: neutropenia (46%); anemia (23%); and thrombocytopenia (8%), which were attributed to TAS-102. All other AEs were mild and transient. At least one follow-up imaging study has been obtained for 13 patients, and 10 patients have completed trial participation. Disease control rate in the liver was 100%. Conclusions: The combination of TAS-102 and 90Y TARE for patients with liver-dominant mCRC is safe and consistently achieved disease control within the liver. Severity and incidence of AEs is within the expected range of TAS-102 and 90Y TARE monotherapy. A dose-expansion phase with planned enrollment of 12 patients is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT02602327.
