Safety and efficacy of first-line irinotecan/fluoropymidine combinations in mCRC patients >65 years compared with those ≤65: The BICC-C study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
4076 Background: BICC-C was a multicenter, randomized study that assessed efficacy & safety of irinotecan/fluoropyrimidines combinations in previously untreated mCRC patients. This study showed that FOLFIRI or FOLFIRI+bev were superior to their comparators (Proc ASCO 2006). We conducted a secondary analysis of efficacy & safety among all patients >65 years compared with those =65. Methods: Pts were randomized to: infusional FOLFIRI, modified bolus IFL (mIFL), or CapeIri; and concurrent celecoxib or placebo in a double-blind fashion. The protocol was amended in April 2004 and bevacizumab (bev) was added to the FOLFIRI and mIFL arms whereas CapeIri was discontinued. Period 1 (P1) and Period 2 (P2) designate subjects enrolled before or after the amendment. Results: Of 430 pts enrolled in P1, 150 were age >65 (median 71; range, 66–87) and 280 were = 65 (median, 56; 20–65). Of 117 pts in P2, 75 were >65 (median, 73; 66–84) and 42 were = 65 (median, 54; 32–65). No significant differences in efficacy or safety were observed between the two age groups. Results for P1: median progression free survival (PFS) was 6.5 and 6.7 mos; and median overall survival (OS) was 18.8 and 19.2 for >65 and =65, respectively. For the FOLFIRI regimen specifically median PFS was 7.5 and 7.6 mos, and median OS was 20.1 and 24.3 mos for >65 and =65, respectively. Results for P2: median PFS was 10.3 and 10.6 mos; and median OS was 19.8 and 23 mos for >65 and =65, respectively. For the FOLFIRI+bev regimen specifically median PFS was 11.1 and 11.2 mos for >65 and =65 respectively, and median OS has not yet been reached for either subgroup at time of analysis. Common grade = 3 AEs are listed below. Conclusions: Efficacy and safety for first line irinotecan/fluoropyrimidine regimens and for FOLFIRI & FOLFIRI+bev, specifically, did not differ for older and younger mCRC patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
