All individuals collected a faeces sample from one bowel movement without specific diet or medication restrictions the week before the colonoscopy. They were specifically instructed to sample a stool where no blood was visible. f-Hb concentration was assessed using the automated OC-SENSOR™ (Eiken Chemical Co., Tokyo, Japan) and faecal calprotectin was determined using a commercial ELISA kit (Bühlmann fCAL ELISA calprotectin, Bühlmann Laboratories AG, Basel, Switzerland). The stool sample for the f-Hb determination was collected using the OC-SENSOR probe. The stool sample for the faecal calprotectin determination was collected independently. We determined blood haemoglobin (b-Hb) and mean corpuscular volume with a Beckman Coulter Autoanalyzer (Beckman Coulter Inc., CA, USA) and serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) using a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (UniCel DXI 800; Beckman Coulter).
For this analysis, consecutive complete data sets of patients with resection of colorectal AC, MAC, or SC were extracted. Patients with other histological subtypes and patients without oncological resection of their primary tumor were not included. The latest date of inclusion and follow-up was October 1, 2012. Histological, clinical, and survival data of patients with classical AC were compared with those of patients with MAC and SC. All patients were staged according to the seventh edition of the International Union Against Cancer (UICC)/American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor staging system.

Aim
The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of selected CD40 and CEACAM5 targeting RUBY™ bsAbs to bind both their targets simultaneously as well as their potential cross-reactivity with additional members of the CEA protein family was evaluated by ELISA.
Materials and Methods
96-well plates were coated with 0.5 μg/mL antigen, hCEACAM-1 (2244-CM-050, R&D Systems), hCEACAM-5 (4128-CM-050, R&D Systems), hCEACAM-6 (3934-CM-050, R&D Systems) or CEACAM-8 (9639-CM-050, R&D Systems) in PBS over night at 4° C. After washing in PBS/0.05% Tween 20 (PBST), the plates were blocked with PBST, 2% BSA for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before a second round of washing. RUBY bsAbs, diluted in PBST, 0.5% BSA, were then added and allowed to bind for at least 1 hour at room temperature. After washing, plates were incubated with either 50 μl detection antibody (0.5 μg/ml HRP conjugated goat anti human-kappa light chain, #STAR127P, AbD Serotec) for analysis of binding to CEACAM protein family proteins or 0.5 μg/ml biotinylated hCD40-muIg (504-030, Ancell) followed by HRP conjugated streptavidin (21126, Pierce) for confirmation of dual antigen binding. Finally, a final round of washing was performed and bound complexes detected using SuperSignal Pico Luminescent as substrate and luminescence signals were measured using Fluostar Optima.
Results and Conclusions
All evaluated RUBY™ bsAbs was indeed able to bind to both CD40 and human CEACAM5 simultaneously (
As can be seen in
All in all, it can be concluded that all evaluated RUBY™ bsAbs have the ability to bind CD40 and CEACAM5 simultaneously and a majority of the set was specific for CEACAM5, with no or little detectable binding to other evaluated members of the CEA protein family.

Candidate predictors were selected after an exhaustive literature search, and after consultation with experts from the participating centres. No data-driven method was used in the final selection of variables.21 All covariates had to be available at the start of treatment (e.g. the primary tumour surgery variable was only considered when subjects had been exposed before the start of first-line treatment). The covariates considered in this model were age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS; ⩾2 versus 0–1), primary tumour location (oesophagus, GEJ, stomach), HER2 expression level (IHC 2+/FISH+ versus IHC 3+), Lauren subtype (intestinal versus diffuse and mixed), signet ring cells, histological grade (1, 2, versus 3), overall tumour burden (stratified into four categories,
