Summary of Protocol Findings– Of the 80 patients enrolled, 12 (15%) patients reported grade 3
cardiac events, including hypotension (3), tachycardia (1), hypertension (2), decreased ejection fraction (1), chest pain (2), arrhythmia (3), coronary artery disease (1), acute coronary syndrome and diastolic dysfunction (1), TIA (1), and pericarditis (1).
– Other Grade 3-4 toxicities reported in >10% of patients were: fatigue (27), leucopenia (31), lymphopenia (35), neutropenia (34), and anemia (12).

2006-0260 (NCI 7548)Single-arm, Open-label, Phase II Trial of Rituximab plus Sargramostim for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Follicular B-cell Lymphoma in Adults
New Principal Investigator Nathan Fowler, MD, MD Anderson Cancer Center
Patient Population: A total of 52 patients with newly diagnosed follicular B cell lymphoma were enrolled. Closed to new patient entry 05/01/2009.
Top Enrolling CCOP Sites: Wichita CCOP, Grand Rapids CCOP
Treatment: CNPE
2006-0260 (NCI 7548)Single-arm, Open-label, Phase II Trial of Rituximab plus Sargramostim for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Follicular B-cell Lymphoma in Adults
Summary of Protocol Findings– 52 pts were enrolled on study, and all were eligible for
assessment. The median age was 56 (31-78), and 62% were male.
– 56% of patients had intermediate or high risk FLIPI. Fifteen (29%) pts had bulky disease (>5cm), and 29 (56%) pts had elevated B2M.
– Tolerance was good; and effects attributable to GM-CSF were minor. Absolute granulocyte count (AGC) elevation above 15K occurred in only 4% of pts; conversely, ≥ grade 3 neutropenia occurred in 8 pts. No significant infections occurred.
Treatment: CNPE
2006-0260 (NCI 7548)Single-arm, Open-label, Phase II Trial of Rituximab plus Sargramostim for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Follicular B-cell Lymphoma in Adults
Summary of Protocol Findings– At 3 months, the overall response rate was 69%, including 23%
of pts with a CR. With continued follow up, response rates improved (ORR 74%, CR 42%). Twenty four (46%) pts remain in remission without further treatment. At a median follow up of 14 months the median PFS of all pts was 28 months, including pts with bulky disease (median PFS of 16 mo). No difference in PFS was observed when comparing FLIPI score (0-1) vs (2-3) or B2M.
– Conclusion: Rituximab plus GM-CSF is well tolerated and active in untreated pts with FL. There did not appear to be significant difference in outcomes when comparing FLIPI scores, although PFS was inferior in patients with bulky disease. Randomized studies are required to determine whether this combination is superior to rituximab as a single agent.

Preliminary Findings – ASCO 2010
– Patients were 65% female, 86% non-Hispanic white,
average age of 59 (range 23-88), and 30% had a
college degree or higher.
– The most common cancers were breast cancer
(31%), lung cancer (12%), and colorectal cancer
(10%).
– 39% indicated that they have used one or more CAM
therapies following their cancer diagnosis.

2006-0198 (NCI MDA 2006-0198)CAM Use and Cancer
Preliminary Findings Continued– The most common categories of CAM used by
patients were:• massage therapy (19%) • relaxation techniques (19%) • special diet (18%) • megavitamins (15%)
– Reasons for using CAM included: • believes CAM beneficial (27%) • to address the emotional and spiritual aspects of the disease
(23%) • and to boost immune system (21%)
Cancer Control: Active
2006-0198 (NCI MDA 2006-0198)CAM Use and Cancer
Preliminary Findings Continued– Patients indicated that 9% of their physicians and 12% of nurses
had asked them about their use of CAM at that oncology visit. – Twenty-one percent of patients reported that they initiated a
discussion with their providers about their use of CAM and the most common responses were: encouraged me to continue (13%) and was neutral (7%).
– Reasons for not telling healthcare practitioners about CAM use included: my healthcare provider never asked (27%) and unsure if CAM beneficial (18%).
Cancer Control: Active
2006-0198 (NCI MDA 2006-0198)CAM Use and Cancer
Conclusions:More than one third of patients indicated that they used some type of CAM therapy and the majority of their providers did not ask them about their CAM use. There remains considerable uncertainty among patients about the role of CAM in the context of cancer care.

2004-0728 (NCI CCC 03-27)Prevention of Cisplatin- or Oxaliplatin-induced Peripheral Neuropathy with Alpha-lipoic Acid: A Placebo-controlled Phase III Trial
Of 243 pts randomized, 121 pts (51%) completed treatment for 12 weeks. At 24 weeks, only 34 evaluable pts remained in the ALA group, and 36 in the placebo group (p= 0.75). No statistical difference was noted in dose intensity for the oxaliplatin arm of the ALA group and the placebo group (median of 765 mg/m2 vs. 1020 mg/m2, p=0.18).
No significant differences were noted for either FACT/GOG-NTX scores (p=0.70), neurotoxicity (p=0.87), or best tumor responses between the 2 groups (p=0.85).

2004-0728 (NCI CCC 03-27)Prevention of Cisplatin- or Oxaliplatin-induced Peripheral Neuropathy with Alpha-lipoic Acid: A Placebo-controlled Phase III Trial
Conclusions: • Oral ALA 600 mg PO TID was ineffective at preventing neurotoxicity
caused by oxaliplatin or cisplatin. • Intense schedules of oral agents in the symptom/toxicity prevention
setting created adherence challenges due to pill size and frequency of administration.
• Poor adherence might affect the power to detect ALA’s effectiveness in this trial.
• Innovative drug delivery and trial designs are needed to further explore alpha lipoic acid in the prevention and/or reduction of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.

CCOP Strategic Plan
• Incoroporate emerging science and novel trial designs– Survivorship, tx toxicities, risk assessment
• Use epi and biologic data from underrepresented populations
• Improve clinical trial participation
Winning the future?
• What are our biggest assets at MDACC?• What do we do best?• What should we do best (but aren’t yet)?• Creative ideas moving forward?
