2015年ASCO年会将于5月29日—6月2日在美国芝加哥召开。5月30日下午消化系统(结直肠)肿瘤口头报告专场上,将会发表射频消融(RFA)联合化疗治疗不能切除的结直肠癌肝转移(CRC LM)的长期生存结果,即随机II期EORTC-NCRI CCSG-ALM 国际40004研究(ELOCC)的长期生存结果。医脉通整理如下:
该项研究评估了系统性化疗(CT)联合射频消融局部破坏肿瘤病灶治疗在不能切除的CRC LM(肝脏病灶多达9处,但无肝外病变)中的疗效。本研究的30个月时的总生存期(OS),无进展生存期(PFS)结果已进行报告(参考文献:Ann Oncol. 23(10): 2619-26, 2012)。经历长达中位9.7年的随访,现在报告OS的结果。
研究方法:
2002年至2007年,随机入组119例患者接受单纯CT(59例)或RFA+CT(60例)治疗。两组中,CT组为6个月FOLFOX(奥沙利铂85mg/m2和LV5FU2),2005年10月以后联合了贝伐珠单抗。在CT组中,当不能切除病灶转化为可切除病灶时,给予了手术切除。主要目标是联合治疗组30个月的OS>38%。次要终点是OS和PFS。
研究结果:
在RFA+CT组,56例患者(93.3%)接受RFA治疗,其中有27例患者(45%)联合手术切除,1例患者切除所有转移病灶(不合格),2例未接受治疗,1例局部治疗数据缺失。RFA+CT组中有51例(85%)接受CT,而CT组全组59例均接受CT。CT组中最终有6例接受了肝切除术。本研究在30月时已达到了主要终点,联合治疗组30个月的OS为61.7%(95%CI:48.2-73.9)。然而,CT组30个月的OS仅为57.6%(95%CI:44.1-70.4),高于预期。经过中位9.7年的随访,死亡病例92例,其中CT组53例,RFA+CT组39例。
CT组的死亡原因主要为疾病进展(49例),死因未知4例;而RFA+CT组的死亡原因为疾病进展(35例),其他原因(2例)和未知(2例)。RFA+CT组在OS上具有明显的优势且差异显著(HR=0.58,95%CI:0.38-0.88,P=0.01)。研究观察到RFA+CT组的中位OS为45.6个月(95%CI:30.3-67.8)vs.CT组40.5个月(95%CI:27.5-47.7)。
结论:
本项研究第一次前瞻性探讨了RFA+CT在不能手术切除的CRC LM中的疗效。在本次II期试验中,与单独CT相比,RFA+CT能够延长患者的长期OS。临床试验信息:NCT00043004。

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) combined with chemotherapy for unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRC LM): Long-term survival results of a randomized phase II study of the EORTC-NCRI CCSG-ALM Intergroup 40004 (CLOCC).(Abstract 3501)

Session Type:Oral Abstract Session
Background:This study evaluates the benefit of combining systemic chemotherapy (CT) with local tumor destruction by RFA in patients with unresectable CRC LM up to 9 lesions and without extrahepatic disease. Overall survival (OS) at 30 months and progression free survival (PFS) results were reported (Ann Oncol. 23(10): 2619-26, 2012). We now report on OS results, after a long term median follow-up of 9.7 years.
Methods:Between 2002 and 2007, 119 pts were randomized between CT alone (59) or RFA+CT (60). In both arms, CT consisted of 6 months FOLFOX (oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 and LV5FU2) plus, since October 2005, bevacizumab. In the CT arm resection was allowed when unresectable disease was converted by CT to resectable disease. Primary objective was a 30-months OS rate > 38% for the combined treatment group. OS and PFS were secondary endpoints.
Results:In the RFA+CT arm, 56 pts (93.3%) received RFA which was combined with resection in 27 pts (45%), 1 pt had all metastases resected (ineligible), 2 pts were not treated at all, in 1 pt no local treatment data were available. 51 patients (85%) in the RFA+CT arm received CT compared to all 59 in the CT arm. 6 pts in the CT arm eventually underwent hepatic resection. The primary endpoint was met, 30-months OS rate was 61.7% (95% CI: 48.2-73.9) for combined treatment. However, 30-month OS for systemic treatment only was 57.6% (95% CI: 44.1-70.4), higher than anticipated. At a median follow-up of 9.7 years, 92 deaths were reported, 53 in the CT arm and 39 in the RFA+CT arm. Causes of death in the CT arm were progressive disease (49 pts), and unknown for 4 pts, and in the RFA+CT arm, progressive disease (35 pts), other causes (2 pts) and unknown (2 pts). There was a significant difference in OS in favor of the RFA+CT arm (HR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.38-0.88, p = 0.01). Observed median OS was 45.6 months (95% CI: 30.3 – 67.8) in the RFA+CT arm vs. 40.5 months (95% CI: 27.5 - 47.7) in the CT arm.
Conclusions:This is the first study that prospectively investigated the efficacy of RFA +CT in pts with unresectable CRC LM. In this phase II trial, RFA+CT was associated with improved long-term OS compared to CT alone. Clinical trial information: NCT00043004
