Abstract
Background
Panitumumab (pan) plus chemotherapy is a preferred first-line therapy for unresectable RAS and BRAF wild type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Older patients may not be suitable for combination regimens. We investigated 2 lower intensity pan-containing regimens.
Methods
Prospective, noncomparative, randomized (1:1) phase 2 study of pan alone (Arm A) or pan plus FU (Arm B). Previously untreated mCRC were ≥70 years; RAS/BRAF wild type. Primary endpoint: 6-month progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included: overall survival (OS), response rate (RR), feasibility of geriatric assessments and overall treatment utility (OTU)—a composite measure based on radiological response, clinical progress, toxicity and patient-reported treatment worth. Planned sample size was 40 patients per arm.
Results
36 patients (Arm A n = 19, Arm B n = 17) were randomized between June 2018 and June 2021. Median age was 79 and 80 years respectively. 6-month PFS 63% (95% CI 38%-80%) arm A 82% (95%CI 55%-94%) Arm B. Median OS 21 months Arm A (95%CI 13-31) 28 (95%CI 14-39) months Arm B. RR 47% and 65% Arms A and B respectively. Baseline comprehensive geriatric assessments were completed in >80% of patients. At week 16, OTU was categorized as good in 92% (Arm A) and 90% (Arm B). No unexpected adverse events were seen.
Conclusions
Six-month PFS in both arms was consistent with that achieved with FU/bev, whilst the rate was numerically higher for Arm B. Baseline comprehensive geriatric assessments were feasible and OTU was high. Both treatment arms might be suitable in appropriately selected patients.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Colorectal Cancer is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research of gastrointestinal cancers. Clinical Colorectal Cancer is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of colorectal, pancreatic, liver, and other gastrointestinal cancers. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to gastrointestinal cancers. Specific areas of interest include clinical research and mechanistic approaches; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; and integration of various approaches.
