Alsina et al. Efficacy and safety of trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) in European patients with heavily pretreated metastatic gastric cancer (mGC): an analysis of the TAGS study

Conclusions:  FTD/TPI was effective and well tolerated in European patients, consistent with the overall population of TAGS.

Macarulla et al. Integrated population pharmacokinetic modelling of liposomal irinotecan in patients with various tumour types, including untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC)

Conclusions:  The PK of nal-IRI and SN-38 in patients with mPC is well described by the population model. The results suggest that UGT status has no impact on the PK of nal-IRI.

Merz et al. Plasmatic CXCL8 is a marker for TGFß- activated kinase 1 (TAK1) activation which may predict resistance to nanoliposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) in gemcitabine- refractory pancreatic cancer (PC) patients

Conclusions:  We identified CXCL8 as the most significant circulating marker of TAK1 activation. Our study candidates CXCL8 as a potential predictive biomarker of resistance to nal-IRI in gemcitabine-refractory PC patients.

Yoo et al. Multicenter randomized phase II trial of 5-Fluorouracil/leucovorin (5FU/LV) with or without liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) in metastatic biliary tract cancer (BTC) as second-line therapy after progression on gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GemCis): NIFTY trial

Trial design:  NIFTY trial is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, phase II trial and 5 referral cancer centers in Korea participated in this study. Histologically documented biliary tract cancer (intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and gallbladder cancer), documented progression on 1st line Gem/Cis, and at least one measurable lesion are key inclusion criteria. Eligible patients are randomized with 1:1 ratio to experimental arm (80 mg/m2 irinotecan hydrochloride trihydrate salt equivalent to 70 mg/m2 irinotecan free base over 90 minutes, followed by 400 mg/m2 LV over 30 min, and then 2400 mg/m2 5-FU over 46 h, every 2 weeks) and control arm (400 mg/m2 LV over 30 min, and then 2400 mg/m2 5-FU over 46 h, every 2 week). Response evaluation is graded by RECIST v1.1 and conducted every 6 weeks. Primary endpoint is progression-free survival and secondary endpoints are overall survival, response rates, quality of life assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 and safety profile. We hypothesized that the addition of nal-IRI to 5-FU/LV would enhance the PFS to median 3.3 months (P1) from median 2.0 (P0) with 5-FU/LV alone. With alpha of 0.05, power of 80%, and drop-out rates of 10%, a total of 174 patients (87 patients per each arm) are needed based on this hypothesis. As of March 2019, a total of 89 patients (51% of the target number) are enrolled.
