An open-label multicenter phase II study of oral lapatinib (GW572016) as single agent, second-line therapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
3583 Background: Lapatinib is an orally active, reversible inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of ErbB1 (EGFR) and ErbB2 (HER-2/neu). This multicenter, open-label, phase II study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of single-agent lapatinib in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma, whose tumors progressed on first-line therapy with 5-fluorouracil in combination with irinotecan or oxaliplatin. Methods: Eighty-six (86) patients received 1250mg of oral lapatinib daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Safety and efficacy assessments were performed at 4-week and 8-week intervals respectively. Tumor response was determined by an independent review committee using RECIST guidelines. Results: The median age was 60 years (22–83) and median KPS was 90 (70–100). Patients were not selected based on ErbB expression; however, 54.2% and 44.1% of the patients had positive expression (+1, +2, +3) for ErbB1 and ErbB2, respectively. The most commonly encountered adverse events were: diarrhea (45% grade 1, 2, 5% grade 3), rash (33% grade 1, 2, 2% grade 3), fatigue (27% grade 1, 2, 2% grade 3), nausea (20% grade 1, 2, 1% grade 3), anorexia (16% grade 1, 2, 2% grade 3), and vomiting (14% grade 1, 2). In addition, 3 (3%) patients experienced a drug-related Grade 2 (≥20%) decrease in LVEF. All decreases in LVEF were asymptomatic and resolved within three weeks after discontinuation of lapatinib. One (1%) patient experienced a confirmed partial response; however, five patients experienced a minor response with cytoreduction of 20%, 22.4%, 22.8%, 26.8%, and 34% at week 8. Overall, five patients experienced clinical benefit with stable disease for ≥20 weeks. The median TTP and overall survival were 8 and 42.9 weeks respectively. Conclusions: Lapatinib was well tolerated, but demonstrated limited activity as second-line monotherapy in patients with recurrent metastatic colorectal cancer.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
