What Have We Learned So Far? Adjuvant therapy impacts outcome in stage III colon cancer 5-FU and Oxaliplatin impact disease-free and overall survival Irinotecan, bevacizumab and cetuximab do not
What Are the Challenges and Next Steps? Challenge 1 – Some people get chemotherapy who don’t need it Challenge 2 –Toxicity of therapy Challenge 3 – Not everyone is cured - what else can move the bar Challenge 4 – Other things “to do” outside of medications
Challenges 1: Identifying Who Should Get Adjuvant Therapy in Stage III Colon Cancer Clinical features Molecular signatures NSABP C07 – O’Connell et al Abstract 3512 Oncotype Dx Colon 12 Interaction by oxaliplatin usage (P = 0.48)
Challenge 2: Toxicities 5-FU toxicities Primarily all short term - with exception of DPD deficiencies, most patients easily managed Oxaliplatin toxicities Increased bone marrow suppression - short term – rare life threatening Liver toxicities - ? Long term effects NEUROPATHY
Incidence of Neurosensory Symptoms during Treatment and Follow-up after FOLFOX Andre et al J Clin Oncol. 2009 Jul 1;27(19):3109-16.
Oxaliplatin Toxicity Neuroprotectants Duration of therapy

International Duration Evaluation of Adjuvant Chemotherapy (IDEA) group • Three or Six Colon Adjuvant Trial (TOSCA) • Activated June 2007. Goal 3,500 stage II/III colon • Short Course Oncology Treatment (SCOT) • Activated March 2008. Goal 9,500 stage II/III colon or rectal • GERCOR • Activated May 2009. Goal 2,000 stage III colon • HORG • Activated Oct 2010. Goal 1,000 stage II/III colon • CALGB/SWOG 80702 • Activated July 2010. Goal 2,500 stage III colon
International Duration Evaluation of Adjuvant Chemotherapy (IDEA) group • All trials comparing 3 months FU/oxaliplatin versus 6 months FU/oxaliplatin (some include oral, most IV) • At least 10,500 stage III colon cancer patients pooled • DFS primary endpoint • Noninferiority if 2 sided 95% CI comparing 3 to 6 months lies entirely below 1.10
Challenge 3: Not Everyone Is Cured What Else Can Move Bar? Moving from metastatic adjuvant setting Approved but not been tested - Panitumumab Positive phase III data – Aflibercept, Regorafenib Cyclooxygenase inhibitors Associated with risk of colorectal cancer Prevent/reduce polyp # in patients with prior CRC or polyps Observational data associated with DFS

Challenge 4: Other things “to do” outside of medications Really extension of challenge 3 The questions many/most patients ask and we can’t answer (or can we?) What should I eat? Should I exercise? What about a multivitamin? What diet/lifestyle changes will help?
Data from Observational Studies for Stage I-III Disease • Decrease risk of recurrence • Physical activity • Avoidance of Western pattern diet • Avoidance of class II/ III obesity (BMI > 35 kg/m2) • Aspirin or COX-2 inhibitor • Higher vitamin D levels • No association with recurrence to date • Weight change (gain or loss) • Obesity < 35 kg/m2 • Smoking status or history • Multivitamin Credits: Charles Fuchs Jeffrey Meyerhardt Brian Wolpin Kimmie Ng Andrew Chan Nadine McCleary Donna Niedzwiecki Donna Hollis CALGB
89803 and Exercise: Disease-Free Survivalin Stage III Colon Cancer Survivors Hazard Ratio Recurrence or Death Regular Physical Activity (met-hours per week) Meyerhardt, J. A. et al. J Clin Oncol; 24:3535-3541 2006
Statistical Considerations • Reverse causality • Is the exposure changing outcomes or the outcome changing exposure • Restrict to events at least 90 days from exposure • Sensitivity analyses to extend restriction to 6 months and 12 months • Recall bias • The clock starts at time of questionnaire completion – all events are prospective beyond the exposure data • Limits generalizability – data speak to those that get to point of questionnaire

Conclusions Despite advances in adjuvant therapy in 80s, 90s and early 2000, bar has become stagnant We need to better define who needs therapy, who benefits and who needs other options Better understanding of complementary approaches will benefit our patients Potentially their colon cancer Other diseases down the road
