• Increased dose of imatinib has been used in progressive disease• Established role for sunitinib in progressive disease setting

• Median time to recurrence of primary high-risk GIST is ~ 2 years

• Risk of recurrence in primary low-risk GIST is ~2%2

• Role of adjuvant treatment yet to be confirmed

E. Wehrle, G. D. Demetri• OOR was achieved by

– 8 of 18 (44%) pts in Q1 (Cmin <1,110 ng/mL) – 24 of 36 (67%) Q2 (>1,110 - <2,040 ng/mL)– 14 of 19 (74%) Q3 and Q4 (>2,040 ng/mL)

• In pts with GIST with exon 11 KIT mutation (n=39), – OOR was 55.6% for Q1 vs 93.3% for Q2-Q4 (p=0.006).

• Exposure to adequate drug levels of IM appears to correlate with clinical benefit; pts with the lowest IM levels show the lowest OOR and shortest TTP. These results suggest that monitoring IM exposure may be important for optimal clinical outcome.

Duration: Imatinib Interruptus1 Year

• D. Pérol et al: J Clin Oncol 26: 2008 (May 20 suppl; abstr 10556)

• Despite a significant increase of PD in the I arm, IM re-introduction at the same dose allows a tumor control in the majority of pts.

• IM interruption seems to have no impact on the sensitivity/resistance of GIST tumor cells.

Duration: Imatinib Interruptus3 Years

• A. Adenis et al: J Clin Oncol 26: 2008 (May 20 suppl; abstr 10522)

• After 3 yrs of IM 400mg/day, pts free from progression were randomly offered to continue (C arm) or interrupt (I arm) IM,

• 50 non-progressive pts. • 1 yr PFS were 87.7 and 23.7% for C and I arms,

respectively. • IM reintroduction 100% disease control so far. • OS were similar in both arms• No impact of IM discontinuation on OS could be

detected. • This work is supported by research funding from

Sorafenib in GIST

Progression after both IM and SU 26 pts (6 IM-RES, 20 IM/SU-RES) enrolled 1/06-12/07 at 5

sites. Disease control rate (PR + SD): 71%. These preliminary data suggest that SOR is active and

well-tolerated in pts with IM-and SU-resistant GIST. Supported by NCI grant N01-CM-62201.

IPI-504 Hsp90 inhibitor in GIST

A. J. Wagner et al: J Clin Oncol 26: 2008 (May 20 suppl; abstr 10503)

Inhibition of the Hsp90 chaperone protein results in selective destruction of the mutated KIT kinase in human GIST cell lines across multiple genotypes which confer TKI resistance.

54 pts (38 GIST; 16 STS) 5 dose levels (90 mg/m2 IPI-504 [n=6], 150 [6], 225 [9],

300 [3], 400 [23] 500 [7]). 18 GIST pts assessed by PET, 22% had a PET partial

response and an additional 66% had stable disease according to the EORTC PET response criteria.

Fun Facts about Neuroendocrine Cancers

• Carcinoids are different from Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Cancers

• There is an increasing incidence of non-functional pancreatic NETs, at least in Michigan (Fitzgerald et al GI ASCO 2007)

• Streptozotocin/5FU did not beat depot Octreotide for TTP and was more toxic in Pancreatic NETs (Pavel et al GI ASCO 2008)

– Bevacizumab (Kulke et al GI ASCO 2008)– PTK787 (Anthony et al ASCO 2007, GI ASCO 2008)– Sorafenib (Hobday et al ASCO 2007)

• Somatostatin Analogues– Safety of high doses (Chadha et al GI ASCO 2008)– Radiolabelled Octreotide analogues – Pasireotide (SOM230) (Kvols et al ASCO 2007)

• Chemotherapy– FOLFOX + Bevacizumab (Bergsland et al GI ASCO 2008)– CAPOX + Bevacizumab (Kunz et al GI ASCO 2008)– Pemetrexed (negative) (Bhargava et al ASCO 2007)– Everolimus (Rad001) (Yao et al ASCO 2007)– Temozolomide (Kulke et al ASCO 2007)

Bile Duct Tumors, Cholangiocarcinomas

The Unknowns– Should we use radiation?– Is there a role for orthotopic liver transplantation?– Is there a standard chemotherapy?

Page 51: Education Session Overview John Marshall, MD –GIST, Neuroendocrine, and Biliary Johanna Bendell, MD –Esophageal and Pancreatic Philip Philip, MD –Pancreatic.

Bile Duct Tumors, CholangiocarcinomasRole of Radiation

No randomized trials, lots of bias SEER Database analysis of 8,597 patients

– All had surgery, 20% had radiation– Overall Survival

• Radiation- 16 months• No Radiation- 9 months

– Conclusion: • Radiation should be strongly considered.

– Shinohara et al: GI Cancers Symposium:143, 2008 Small Retrospective Analysis

– 45 patients- resected then chemo/radiation– 5 year OS 33%, 5 year local control 78%– Radiation helped local control– Conclusion

• Systemic mets still the major problem, need better drugs– Nelson et al: GI Cancers Symposium:150, 2008

Page 52: Education Session Overview John Marshall, MD –GIST, Neuroendocrine, and Biliary Johanna Bendell, MD –Esophageal and Pancreatic Philip Philip, MD –Pancreatic.

Bile Duct Tumors, CholangiocarcinomasRole of Liver Transplant

Mayo Clinic Series– Early stage Cholagio or Cholagio in PSC.– Neoadjuvant chemo and radiation– Operative staging to rule out LN involvement– Orthotopic liver transplant– 90 of 148 went to transplant– 57% 5 year OS– 74% 5 year OS in those transplanted– Blechacz et al: GI Cancers Symposium:139, 2008

This is not translatable to general practice

Page 53: Education Session Overview John Marshall, MD –GIST, Neuroendocrine, and Biliary Johanna Bendell, MD –Esophageal and Pancreatic Philip Philip, MD –Pancreatic.

Bile Duct Tumors, CholangiocarcinomasAny New Chemo Options?

Gemcitabine/Carboplatin Phase II (49 patients)– 29.2% PR, 50% SD– Acceptable toxicity– Suresh et al: Proc Am Assoc Clin Oncol 15102, 2007

Sorafenib Phase II (36 patients)– 6% PR, 29% SD, Median PFS 2 months– Low response, maybe similar SD rates as chemo?– El-Khoueiry et al: Proc Am Soc Clin Oncol 4639, 2007

Plenty of room for improvement

Bischof, G. Schernthaner, T. Gruenberger Single-centre phase II study of cetuximab in combination with

gemcitabine and oxaliplatin Cetuximab 500 mg/m² on day 1 followed by 1,000mg/m² gemcitabine

(day 1) and 100mg/m² oxaliplatin on day 2 were administered every second week.

22 patients (11 male, 11 female) ORR 58%, 1 CR, 6 SD Cetuximab in combination with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin seems a

well tolerated regimen in patients with cholangiocarcinoma. The first results demonstrate promising efficacy for both response rates and progression-free survival. Therefore cetuximab in combination with GEMOX deserves further evaluation in prospective randomized trials.
