Esempi di Ricerca Traslazionale:POCHER 1 e POCHER 2
Come nasce e cosa è POCHER
• Si tratta dell’evoluzione di due linee di ricerca integrate
A) la cronobiologia e la cronoterapia
B) il trattamento delle metastasi epatiche da CRC
• Come inserire tutto ciò nel contesto delle conoscenze attuali e del trattamento del CRC

• Do patients need chemotherapy for treatment of CRLMs? We think YES
• Aim: Cure or Increase of survival?• When deliver chemo? After, Before, Sandwich …• Which one? Chemo alone, chemo + Ab ….• How to deliver it? EV or IA or both?• How long after resection?? • Do all patients have the same biologic behaviour?
Clearly Not
Chemotherapy and Liver Metastases
Definition of “Curative Intent”
Cure: DFS at 3 years and not OS
OS can reflect tumor biology while DFSlikely reflects surgical cure
Not all patients who can be offered apossible R0 resection can be offered itwith realistic curative intent

PATIENTS AND METHODS
Cetuximab plus chronomodulated CPT-FFL: first-line/patientswith unresectable CLM.
Schedule:a) weekly cetuximab (400 mg/m2 - w1, then 250 mg/m2)b) CPT-11 130 mg/m2/d1 (6-h infusion-peak 13:00), then 12-h
infusions of L-OHP 20/mg/m2/d (peak at 16:00), FA 150 mg/m2/dplus 5-FU 600 mg/m2/d (peak at 4:00), days 2-5 q2 weeks.
Cetuximab was given irrespective of EGFR IHC expression orK-RAS mutation status. Both were evaluated retrospectively.
After the first 17 patients 5-FU and the L-OHP daily dose werereduced from 600 to 550 mg/m2 and from 20 to 15 mg/m2
respectively with CPT-11 at 130 mg/m2/d1 (courses every 2wks). Two/ 43 patients received FOLFOXIRI instead of CPT-FFL.French recommendations and internal criteria were used toclassify liver metastases for resectability.

• miR play distinct roles in clock physiology
• Their dysregulation can induce marked alterations in circadian timing and output
• They can become a therapeutic target
• miR132 e 219 affect PER1expression
• miR192/194 decrease PERexpression
• miR192/194 were significantly down-regulated in CRC tissues and cell lines
