The published data on the predictive and prognostic value of KRAS mutations in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with cetuximab seemed inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. Systematic computerised searches of the PubMed, EMBase, BIOSIS, and SCOPUS were performed. A total of 22 studies were identified. Random-effects model or fix-effects model was used according to between-study heterogeneity. A total of 2188 mCRC patients were included in the final meta-analysis. The rate of KRAS mutations was 38% (829/2188). The overall response rate (ORR) of mutant KRAS patients was 14% (119/829), whereas the ORR of wild-type KRAS patients was 39% (529/1359). The overall pooled relative ratio (RR) for ORR was 0.24 (95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.16–0.38; P < 0.01) when mutant KRAS patients were compared with wild-type KRAS patients. Median PFS was significantly shorter in mutant KRAS patients compared with that in wild-type KRAS patients (3.0 versus 5.8 months; HR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.62–2.33; P < 0.01). Similarly, median OS was significantly shorter in mutant KRAS patients compared with that in wild-type KRAS patients (6.9 versus 13.5 months; HR = 2.17; 95% CI: 1.72–2.74; P < 0.01). The meta-analysis strongly suggests that KRAS mutations represent adverse predictive and prognostic biomarkers for tumour response and survival in mCRC patients treated with cetuximab. Patients with tumours that harbour mutant-type KRAS are more likely to have a worse response, PFS, and OS when treated with cetuximab.  相似文献

BackgroundThe OPUS study demonstrated that addition of cetuximab to 5-fluorouracil, folinic acid and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX4) significantly improved objective response and progression-free survival (PFS) in the first-line treatment of patients with KRAS exon 2 wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). In patients with KRAS exon 2 mutations, a detrimental effect was seen upon addition of cetuximab to FOLFOX4. The current study reports outcomes in subgroups defined by extended RAS testing.Patients and methodsSamples from OPUS study KRAS exon 2 wild-type tumours were reanalysed for other RAS mutations in four additional KRAS codons (exons 3–4) and six NRAS codons (exons 2–4) using BEAMing. A cutoff of ⩾5% mutant/wild-type sequences was selected to define RAS status; we also report an analysis using a cutoff based on the technical lower limit for mutation identification (0.1%).ResultsOther RAS mutations were detected in 31/118 (26%) evaluable patients. In the extended analysis of RAS wild-type tumours (n = 87), objective response was significantly improved by addition of cetuximab to FOLFOX4 (58% versus 29%; odds ratio 3.33 [95% confidence interval 1.36–8.17]; P = 0.0084); although limited by population size, there also appeared to be trends favouring the cetuximab arm in terms of PFS and overall survival in the RAS wild-type group compared with the RAS evaluable group. There was no evidence that patients with other RAS mutations benefited from cetuximab, but small numbers precluded precise estimations of treatment effects. In the combined population of patients with any RAS mutation (KRAS exon 2 or other RAS), a clear detrimental effect was associated with addition of cetuximab to FOLFOX4.ConclusionPatients with RAS-mutant mCRC, as defined by mutations in KRAS and NRAS exons 2–4, derive no benefit and may be harmed by the addition of cetuximab to FOLFOX4. Restricting cetuximab administration to patients with RAS wild-type tumours will further tailor therapy to maximise benefit.  相似文献

Anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies (mAb) such as cetuximab, panitumumab are one kind of efficacious targeted drugs in treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, only a small proportion of patients harbored wild-KRAS genotype can benefit from it. We hypothesized that personal genetic heterogeneity might be the main cause leading to obvious difference in its clinical efficacy. A retrospective study including 82 mCRC patients treated with chemotherapy plus cetuximab and a comprehensive meta-analysis containing 2831 cases within sixteen eligible studies were conducted to investigate the possible association between FCGR2A H131R and FCGR3A V158F and clinical outcome of mCRC patients treated with anti-EGFR mAb based therapy. Results of the retrospective study showed that H131R within FCGR2A or V158F within FCGR3A were not associated with clinical outcome in 82 KRAS wild chemorefractory mCRC patients in co-dominant, dominant, recessive, over-dominant, allele genetic models. However, the comprehensive meta-analysis with the largest of sample size obtained the significant result between FCGR3A V158F and PFS (FV/VV vs. FF: Ph = 0.027, MSR = 0.680, 95%CI = 0.549−0.842 in overall population; Ph = 0.12, MSR = 0.728, 95%CI = 0.648–0.818 in KRAS wild population) and OS (VV vs. FF: Ph < 0.001, MSR = 0.733, 95%CI = 0.578−0.930 in overall population). These findings indicate that KRAS wild chemorefractory mCRC individual harbored genotype FF of V158Fcan benefit from anti-EGFR mAb adjuvant therapy in terms of PFS and OS, and it may be useful genetic biomarker to predict clinical survival of mCRC individuals with anti-EGFR mAb based therapy.  相似文献

BackgroundMetastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) tumours harbouring a RAS mutation are associated with a lack of treatment benefit from anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). However, observational evidence has led to speculation that mCRC patients with KRAS G13D mutant (MT) tumours may derive a benefit from treatment with anti-EGFR mAbs.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate whether the efficacy of anti-EGFR mAbs for mCRC differs between tumours harbouring a KRAS G13D mutation (KRAS G13D) and KRAS mutations other than G13D (other KRAS MT).ResultsEight RCTs (n = 5967) met the inclusion criteria for assessment of both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). For other KRAS MT the hazard ratio for OS benefit with addition of anti-EGFR mAb therapy was 1.06 (95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.96, 1.17), compared to 1.08 (95% CI; 0.73, 1.60) for KRAS G13D [test for interaction p = 0.99]. In contrast, the hazard ratio for KRAS wild-type (WT) tumours was 0.85 (95% CI; 0.76, 0.95). Regarding PFS benefit with anti-EGFR mAbs, the hazard ratio was 1.07 (95% CI; 0.92, 1.26) for other KRAS MT, 0.96 (95% CI; 0.73, 1.27) for KRAS G13D, and 0.68 (95% CI; 0.54, 0.85) for KRAS WT. Again, the test for interaction (p = 0.46) demonstrated no significant difference in PFS benefit for anti-EGFR mAb therapy between KRAS G13D and other KRAS MT.ConclusionThis meta-analysis demonstrates no significant difference between KRAS G13D and other KRAS MT tumours in terms of treatment benefit from anti-EGFR mAbs for mCRC.  相似文献

BackgroundRight- and left-sided colon cancers (RC, LC) differ with respect to biology, pathology and epidemiology. Previous data suggest a mortality difference between RC and LC. We examined if primary tumour side also predicts for outcome in chemotherapy refractory, metastatic colon cancer (MCC). We also compared RC versus LC as a predictor of efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibition with cetuximab.MethodsReanalyzing NCIC CO.17 trial (cetuximab versus best supportive care [BSC]), we coded the primary tumour side as RC (caecum to transverse colon) or LC (splenic flexure to rectosigmoid). The association between tumour side and baseline characteristics was assessed. Cox regression models determined factors affecting overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS).ResultsPatients with RC (150/399) had more poorly differentiated, mutant KRAS, mutated PIK3CA and wild-type BRAF tumours, fewer liver and lung metastases, and shorter interval between diagnosis and study entry. Among BSC patients, tumour side was not prognostic for PFS (hazard ratios (HR) 1.07 [0.79–1.44], p = 0.67) or OS (HR 0.96 [0.70–1.31], p = 0.78). Among wild-type KRAS patients, those with LC had significantly improved PFS when treated with cetuximab compared to BSC (median 5.4 versus 1.8 months, HR 0.28 [0.18–0.45], p < 0.0001), whereas those with RC did not (median 1.9 versus 1.9 months, HR 0.73 [0.42–1.27], p = 0.26), [interaction p = 0.002].ConclusionIn refractory MCC, tumour location within the colon is not prognostic, but is strongly predictive of PFS benefit from cetuximab therapy. Additional research is needed to understand the molecular differences between RC and LC and their interaction with EGFR inhibition.  相似文献

PurposeThis randomised phase II trial aimed to compare efficacy of the irreversible ErbB family blocker, afatinib, with cetuximab in patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma (mCRC) with progression following oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based regimens. Efficacy in patients with KRAS mutations was also evaluated.Patients and methodsPatients with KRAS wild-type tumours were randomised 2:1 to afatinib (40 mg/day, increasing to 50 mg/day if minimal toxicity) or cetuximab weekly (400 mg/m2 loading dose, then 250 mg/m2/week) according to number of previous chemotherapy lines. All patients with KRAS-mutated tumours received afatinib. Primary end-points were objective response (OR) for the wild-type group and disease control for the KRAS-mutated group. Secondary end-points were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).ResultsPatients with KRAS wild-type tumours (n = 50) received afatinib (n = 36) or cetuximab (n = 14). Unconfirmed and confirmed ORs were 3% and 0% for afatinib versus 20% and 13% for cetuximab (odds ratio: 0.122 [P = 0.0735] and <0.001, respectively). Median PFS was 46.0 and 144.5 days for afatinib and cetuximab, respectively. Median OS was 355 days with afatinib but not reached for cetuximab. In the KRAS-mutated group (n = 41), five (12%) patients achieved confirmed disease control (stable disease; P = 0.6394 [comparison versus 10%]); no ORs were reported. Median PFS and OS were 41.0 and 173 days, respectively. Most frequent treatment-related adverse events were diarrhoea and rash across groups.ConclusionsThe efficacy of afatinib was inferior to cetuximab in patients with KRAS wild-type mCRC. In patients with KRAS-mutated tumours, disease control was modest with afatinib. Afatinib had a manageable safety profile.  相似文献

BackgroundIntegrins are involved in tumour progression and metastasis, and differentially expressed on colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Abituzumab (EMD 525797), a humanised monoclonal antibody targeting integrin αν heterodimers, has demonstrated preclinical activity. This trial was designed to assess the tolerability of different doses of abituzumab in combination with cetuximab and irinotecan (phase I) and explore the efficacy and tolerability of the combination versus that of cetuximab and irinotecan in patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC) (phase II part).MethodsEligible patients had KRAS (exon 2) wild-type mCRC and had received prior oxaliplatin-containing therapy. The trial comprised an initial safety run-in using abituzumab doses up to 1000 mg combined with a standard of care (SoC: cetuximab plus irinotecan) and a phase II part in which patients were randomised 1 : 1 : 1 to receive abituzumab 500 mg (arm A) or 1000 mg (arm B) every 2 weeks combined with SoC, or SoC alone (arm C). The primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points included overall survival (OS), response rate (RR) and tolerability. Associations between tumour integrin expression and outcomes were also assessed.ResultsPhase I showed that abituzumab doses up to 1000 mg were well tolerated in combination with SoC. Seventy-three (arm A), 71 (arm B) and 72 (arm C) patients were randomised to the phase II part. Baseline characteristics were balanced. PFS was similar in the three arms: arm A versus SoC, hazard ratio (HR) 1.13 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.78–1.64]; arm B versus SoC, HR 1.11 (95% CI 0.77–1.61). RRs were also similar. A trend toward improved OS was observed: arm A versus SoC, HR 0.83 (95% CI 0.54–1.28); arm B versus SoC, HR 0.80 (95% CI 0.52–1.25). Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events were observed in 72%, 78% and 67% of patients. High tumour integrin αvβ6 expression was associated with longer OS in arms A [HR 0.55 (0.30–1.00)] and B [HR 0.41 (0.21–0.81)] than in arm C.ConclusionThe primary PFS end point was not met, although predefined exploratory biomarker analyses identified subgroups of patients in whom abituzumab may have benefit. The tolerability of abituzumab combined with cetuximab and irinotecan was acceptable. Further study is warranted.ClinicalTrials.gov identifierNCT01008475  相似文献

BackgroundThe CRYSTAL and OPUS randomised clinical trials demonstrated that adding cetuximab to first-line chemotherapy in patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) significantly improved treatment outcome compared with chemotherapy alone. The objective of this pooled analysis was to further investigate these findings in patients with KRAS wild-type tumours using extended survival data and following an enhancement in the ascertainment rate of KRAS and BRAF tumour mutation status from these studies.MethodsPooled individual patient data from each study were analysed for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and best overall response rate (ORR) in patients evaluable for KRAS and BRAF mutation status. Treatment arms were compared according to mutation status using log–rank and Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel tests.ResultsIn 845 patients with KRAS wild-type tumours adding cetuximab to chemotherapy led to a significant improvement in OS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.81; p = 0.0062), PFS (HR 0.66; p < 0.001) and ORR (odds ratio 2.16; p < 0.0001). BRAF mutations were detected in 70/800 evaluable tumours. No significant differences were found in outcome between the treatment groups in these patients. Prognosis was worse in each treatment arm for patients with BRAF tumour mutations compared with those with BRAF wild-type tumours.ConclusionAnalysis of pooled data from the CRYSTAL and OPUS studies confirms the consistency of the benefit obtained across all efficacy end-points from adding cetuximab to first-line chemotherapy in patients with KRAS wild-type mCRC. BRAF mutation does not appear to be a predictive biomarker in this setting, but is a marker of poor prognosis.  相似文献

BackgroundThe use of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors to treat metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients requires prior confirmation of tumour wild type (WT) RAS mutation status (exons 2/3/4 for KRAS or NRAS). This retrospective pooled analysis aims to robustly estimate RAS mutation prevalence and individual variation patterns in mCRC patients.MethodIndividual patient data from five randomised, controlled panitumumab studies (three phase III, one phase II and one phase Ib/II) were pooled for this analysis. The phase III studies included mCRC patients independent of RAS mutation status; the phase II and Ib/II studies included mCRC patients with confirmed WT KRAS exon 2 status. Four studies conducted RAS testing using Sanger sequencing; one study used a combination of next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing. In order to assign overall RAS status, the mutation status of all exons 2/3/4 KRAS or NRAS was required to be known.ResultsData from 3196 mCRC patients from 36 countries were included in the analysis. The overall unadjusted RAS mutation prevalence in mCRC patients was 55.9% (95% confidence interval (CI): [53.9–57.9%]), with the following distribution observed: KRAS exon 2 (prevalence 42.6% [40.7–44.5%]); KRAS exon 3 (3.8% [2.9–4.9%]); KRAS exon 4 (6.2% [5.0–7.6%]); NRAS exon 2 (2.9% [2.1–3.9%]); NRAS exon 3 (4.2% [3.2–5.4%]); NRAS exon 4 (0.3% [0.1–0.7%]). Differences in RAS mutation prevalence estimates were observed by study (p = 0.001), gender (p = 0.030), and by country (p = 0.028).ConclusionsThis analysis provides robust estimates of overall RAS mutation prevalence and individual variation patterns in mCRC patients.  相似文献

BackgroundCirculating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in plasma is a mixture of DNA from malignant and normal cells, and can be used as a liquid biopsy to detect and quantify tumour specific mutations e.g. KRAS. We investigated the clinical value of KRAS mutations when detected in plasma compared to tumour in patients from metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) prior to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) therapy. Secondly, we investigated the concentration of total cfDNA in relation to clinical outcome.Patients and methodsPatients were resistant to 5-FU, oxaliplatin and irinotecan and treated with 3rd line irinotecan (180 mg/m2) and cetuximab (500 mg/m2) q2w in a prospective phase II trial. The study was conducted prior to implementation of KRAS as selection criteria. Plasma was obtained from a pre-treatment EDTA blood-sample, and the total cfDNA, and KRAS mutations were quantified by an in-house qPCR method. Results are presented according to REMARK.ResultsOne-hundred-and-forty patients were included. Thirty-four percent had detectable KRAS mutations in the tumour, compared to 23% in plasma. KRAS detection in archival tumour tissue showed no correlation to survival, whereas plasma KRAS status remained a strong predictive and prognostic factor in multivariate analysis (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 2.98 (95% CI 1.53–5.80, p = 0.001) and 2.84 (1.46–5.53, p = 0.002), for OS and PFS, respectively). Combining the information of total cell free DNA levels and plasma KRAS mutation status, produced an additional prognostic effect.ConclusionThe value of clinically relevant mutations could be improved by performing the analysis on circulation plasma DNA rather than archival tumour tissue.  相似文献

BackgroundNeutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), defined as absolute neutrophils count divided by absolute lymphocytes count, has been reported as poor prognostic factor in several neoplastic diseases but only a few data are available about unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients (pts). The aim of our study was to evaluate the prognostic and predictive role of NLR in the TRIBE trial.Patients and methodsPts enrolled in TRIBE trial were included. TRIBE is a multicentre phase III trial randomizing unresectable and previously untreated mCRC pts to receive FOLFOXIRI or FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab. A cut-off value of 3 was adopted to discriminate pts with low (NLR < 3) versus high (NLR  3) NLR, as primary analysis. As secondary analysis, NLR was treated as an ordinal variable with three levels based on terciles distribution.ResultsNLR at baseline was available for 413 patients. After multiple imputation at univariate analysis, patients with high NLR had significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) [hazard ratio (HR) 1.27 (95% CI 1.05–1.55), P = 0.017] and overall survival (OS) [HR 1.56 (95% CI 1.25–1.95), P < 0.001] than patients with low NLR. In the multivariable model, NLR retained a significant association with OS [HR 1.44 (95% CI 1.14–1.82), P = 0.014] but not with PFS [HR 1.18 (95% CI 0.95–1.46), P = 0.375]. No interaction effect between treatment arm and NLR was evident in terms of PFS (P for interaction = 0.536) or OS (P for interaction = 0.831). Patients with low [HR 0.84 (95% CI 0.64–1.08)] and high [HR 0.73 (95% CI 0.54–0.97)] NLR achieved similar PFS benefit from the triplet and consistent results were obtained in terms of OS [HR 0.83 (95% CI 0.62–1.12) for low NLR; HR 0.82 (95% CI 0.59–1.12) for high NLR].ConclusionThis study confirmed the prognostic role of NLR in mCRC pts treated with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in the first line, showing the worse prognosis of pts with high NLR. The advantage of the triplet is independent of NLR at baseline.  相似文献

IntroductionChemotherapy is the principal treatment in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. RAC1b, a RAC1 spliced variant, is over-expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC), and impairs apoptosis by activation of nuclear-factor-KB. Since RAC1b has been associated with the BRAFV600E mutation, associated with poor prognosis in CRC, we evaluated the role of RAC1b expression as a predictor of chemotherapy efficacy in mCRC.MethodsWe analysed KRAS and BRAF mutation, microsatellite instability and RAC1b expression in 157 mCRC patients treated with FOLFOX/XELOX in first-line therapy.ResultsKRAS mutations were detected in 46 patients (34%), 10 patients were BRAF mutant (7%) and 79 were WT for both, KRAS and BRAF (59%). RAC1b overexpression was found in 30 patients (19%). In the multivariate analysis, BRAF mutational status was a poor prognostic factor for overall survival (OS); hazard ratio (HR), 2.78 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.35–5.72; p = 0.0057). RAC1b overexpression was a poor survival factor for OS (HR, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.2–4.59; p = 0.01) and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.2–4.78; p = 0.01) in KRAS/BRAF WT mCRC patients.ConclusionsRAC1b overexpression constitutes a marker of poor prognosis in KRAS/BRAF WT mCRC patients treated with first-line FOLFOX/XELOX therapy.  相似文献

BackgroundTo evaluate the antitumor activity and toxicity of single-agent cetuximab in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma (HGG) after failure of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.Patients and methodsIn this two-arm, open-label, phase II study patients were stratified according to their epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene amplification status. Cetuximab was administered intravenously at a dose of 400 mg/m2 on week 1 followed by weekly dose of 250 mg/m2. The primary end point for this study was the response rate in both study arms separately.ResultsFifty-five eligible patients (28 with and 27 without EGFR amplification) tolerated cetuximab well. Three patients (5.5%) had a partial response and 16 patients (29.6%) had stable disease. The median time to progression was 1.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.6–2.2 months]. Whereas the progression-free survival (PFS) was <6 months in the majority (n = 50/55) of patients, five patients (9.2%) had a PFS on cetuximab of >9 months. Median overall survival was 5.0 months (95% CI 4.2–5.9 months). No significant correlation was found between response, survival and EGFR amplification.ConclusionsCetuximab was well tolerated but had limited activity in this patient population with progressive HGG. A minority of patients may derive a more durable benefit but were not prospectively identified by EGFR gene copy number.  相似文献

BackgroundFrail elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) are not candidates for chemotherapy. Monotherapy with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies may be an option for these patients with few systemic toxic effects.Patients and methodsSingle-arm, multicentre, phase II trial including patients ⩾70 years with wild-type (WT) KRAS (exon 2) mCRC, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status  3, KPC (Köhne Prognostic Classification) – defined intermediate or high risk status, frailty and/or ineligibility for chemotherapy. Patients received panitumumab until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end-point was progression free survival (PFS) rate at 6 months.ResultsThe study included 33 patients (intention-to-treat (ITT) population). Median age: 81 years; sex: 66.7% male; high-risk KPC status: 45.4%. Median treatment duration was 14 weeks and 6-month PFS rate was 36.4% (95% confidence interval (CI): 20.0–52.8). The objective response rate: 9.1% (95% CI: 0–18.9) (all partial responses), and there were 18 stable diseases (54.5%). Median PFS was 4.3 months (95% CI: 2.8–6.4) and median overall survival (OS) was 7.1 months (95% CI: 5.0–12.3). There were no deaths or grade 4–5 adverse events (AEs) related to panitumumab and the most common grade 3-related AE was rash acneiform (15.2%). A significant association between clinical response and RAS status was observed (P = 0.037). In the WT RAS subgroup (WT exons 2, 3, and 4 of KRAS and NRAS, N = 15), 6-month PFS rate was 53.3% (95% CI: 30.1–75.2) and median PFS and OS were 7.9 and 12.3 months, respectively.ConclusionsSingle-agent panitumumab is active and well tolerated and may be a therapeutic option for high-risk frail elderly patients with WT RAS tumours considered not candidates for chemotherapy (clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT01126112).  相似文献

BackgroundWe investigated the influence of comorbidity, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status and age on the efficacy and safety profile of cetuximab and irinotecan in elderly irinotecan-pretreated patients with mCRC.Methods497 patients with mCRC were entered in the database of this non-interventional study (NIS). Comorbid conditions were recorded.ResultsA total of 247 and 250 patients aged <65 and >65 years, respectively, with a median age of 66 y were documented; 78% of the patients showed a reduced ECOG status. Grade III/IV toxicities occurred in 18% of patients without any difference between age groups although older patients had more comorbidities with a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) (p = 0.002). Skin rash was strongly related to response (p = 0.006). Age, line of therapy, ECOG, gender and CCI had no influence on response. The objective response rates were similar: 38.1% for age <65 years versus 36.4% for age >65 years (p = 0.57). Progression-free survival (PFS) did not differ between patients 18–65 years (6.0 months) and patients >65 years (6.2 months; p = 0.99). Only PS had a negative impact on PFS (hazard ratio (HR): 0,499; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.34–0.72; p = 0.002), whereas the presence of skin toxicity (grade > 1) influenced PFS and response rate (RR) positively (HR: 2.04; 95% CI, 1.6–2.6; p < 0.001).ConclusionsOnly PS and age had a negative influence on PFS irrespective of CCI or age. There were no significant differences in response rate and safety profile for elderly patients when treated with cetuximab and irinotecan. Comorbidities and age had no influence on efficacy or toxicity.  相似文献

BackgroundASP8273, a novel, small molecule, irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) specifically inhibits the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in patients with activating mutations or EGFR T790M resistance mutations. The current study examines the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ASP8273 versus erlotinib or gefitinib in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating EGFR mutations not previously treated with an EGFR inhibitor.Patients and methodsThis global, phase III, open-label, randomized study evaluated ASP8273 versus erlotinib/gefitinib in patients with locally advanced, metastatic, or unresectable stage IIIB/IV NSCLC with activating EGFR mutations. They were ineligible if they received prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS), and secondary end points included overall survival, investigator-assessed PFS, best overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate, duration of response (DoR), and the safety/tolerability profile.ResultsPatients (n = 530) were randomized 1 : 1 to receive ASP8273 (n = 267) or erlotinib/gefitinib (n = 263). Patient demographics between both treatment groups were generally balanced. Median PFS was 9.3 months (95% CI 5.6–11.1 months) for patients receiving ASP8273 and 9.6 months (95% CI 8.8–NE) for the erlotinib/gefitinib group, with a hazard ratio of 1.611 (P = 0.992). The ORR in the ASP8273 group was 33% (95% CI 27.4–39.0) versus 47.9% (95% CI 41.7–54.1) in the erlotinib/gefitinib group. Median DoR was similar for both groups (9.2 months for ASP8273 versus 9.0 months for erlotinib/gefitinib). More grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in patients receiving ASP8273 than in those receiving erlotinib/gefitinib (54.7% versus 43.5%). An independent data monitoring committee carried out an interim safety analysis and recommended discontinuing the study due to toxicity and limited predicted efficacy of ASP8273 relative to erlotinib/gefitinib.ConclusionsFirst-line ASP8273 did not show improved PFS or equivalent toxicities versus erlotinib/gefitinib.ClinicalTrial.gov numberNCT02588261.  相似文献

BackgroundWe report the first study examining the clinical, numerical and biological properties of circulating tumor cells according to molecular subtypes of non-small-cell lung cancer.Patients and methods125 patients with treatment-naïve stage IIIb-IV NSCLC were prospectively recruited for CellSearch analysis. Anti-vimentin antibody was included for examination of CTCs to assess their mesenchymal character. Associations of total CTCs and vimentin-positive (vim +) CTCs with clinical characteristics, tumor genotype, and survival were assessed.Results51/125 patients (40.8%) were total CTC+ and 26/125 (20.8%) were vim CTC+ at baseline. Multivariate analysis showed patients with ≥5 total CTCs had significantly reduced OS (HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.33–0.92, P = 0.022) but not PFS (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.42–1.1, P = 0.118) compared to patients with <5 total CTCs. No OS difference was evident between vim+ CTC and vim-negative CTC patients overall (HR 1.24, 95% CI 0.67–2.28, P = 0.494), but after subdivision according to NSCLC driver mutation, we found an increase of vim+ CTCs in the EGFR-mutated subgroup (N = 21/94 patients; mean 1.24 vs 1.22 vim+ CTCs, P = 0.013), a reduction of total CTCs in the ALK-rearranged subgroup (N = 13/90 patients; mean 1.69 vs 5.82 total CTCs, P = 0.029), and a total absence of vim+ CTCs in KRAS-mutated adenocarcinomas (N = 19/78 patients; mean 0 vs 1.4 vim+ CTCs, P = 0.006).ConclusionsWe validate that the baseline presence of ≥5 total CTCs in advanced NSCLC confers a poor prognosis. CTCs from EGFR-mutant NSCLC express epithelial–mesenchymal transition characteristics, not seen in CTCs from patients with KRAS-mutant adenocarcinoma.  相似文献

BackgroundFirst-line oxaliplatin-based therapy is the standard treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), but its dose-limiting toxicity is sensory neuropathy. The OPTIMisation of OXaliplatin (OPTIMOX) stop-and-go approach with oxaliplatin-free interval (OFI) offers a reasonable strategy. Influence of the first-line oxaliplatin-based treatment efficacy and the duration of OFI on tumour sensitivity to oxaliplatin reintroduction were investigated.MethodsThis was a pooled analysis of OPTIMOX1 and OPTIMOX2 studies, on 285 patients with previously untreated mCRC and FOLFOX reintroduction. An optimal OFI was estimated. Efficacy endpoints measured from reintroduction of FOLFOX included response rate (RR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).FindingsTwo groups of OFI <6 and ?6 months, were defined. The RR following FOLFOX reintroduction were 14% and 22% in patients with an OFI <6 and ?6 months, respectively (overall RR 19%). The median PFS after FOLFOX reintroduction following OFI< 6 and ?6 months were 3.0 [95% confidence intervals (CI): 2.7–3.7] and 5.5 months [95% CI: 4.8–6.5], respectively. The median OS following OFI <6 months was 8.8 months [95% CI: 7.5–10.5] and OFI ?6 was months 16.8 months [95% CI: 15.3–19.6]. In the case of partial response (PR), median PFS and OS were 4.6 [95% CI: 4.1–5.0] and 14 months [95% CI: 12.1–16.4], respectively, whereas in patients with initial stable disease (SD) 3.4 [95% CI: 2.7–4.7] and 10.3 months [95% CI: 7.3–12.9], respectively.InterpretationA sensitive population of patients more likely to benefit from oxaliplatin reintroduction is defined by the efficacy of induction therapy followed by an OFI of at least 6 months between two periods of FOLFOX therapy. OFI of <6 months identifies a subgroup of partially-resistant patients who can still benefit from oxaliplatin reintroduction.  相似文献

BackgroundThe MAPK-interacting kinase 1 (MKNK1) is localized downstream of the RAS/RAF/ERK and the MAP3K1/MKK/p38 signaling pathway. Through phosphorylation MKNK1 regulates the function of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E, a key player in translational control, whose expression is often upregulated in metastatic colorectal cancer patients (mCRC). Preclinical data suggest that MKNK1 increases angiogenesis by upregulating angiogenic factors. We therefore hypothesize that variations in the MKNK1 gene predict outcome in mCRC patients treated with first-line FOLFIRI and bevacizumab (bev).Patients and methodsA total of 567 patients with KRAS wild-type mCRC in the randomized phase III FIRE-3 and TRIBE trials treated with first-line FOLFIRI/bev (discovery and validation cohorts) or FOLFIRI and cetuximab (cet) (control cohort) were included in this study. Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the MAPK signaling pathway were analyzed.ResultsAA genotype carriers of the MKNK1 rs8602 single-nucleotide polymorphism treated with FOLFIRI/bev in the discovery cohort (FIRE-3) had a shorter progression-free survival (PFS) than those harboring any C (7.9 versus 10.3 months, Hazard ratio (HR) 1.73, P = 0.038). This association could be confirmed in the validation cohort (TRIBE) in multivariable analysis (PFS 9.0 versus 11.0 months, HR 3.04, P = 0.029). Furthermore, AA carriers in the validation cohort had a decreased overall response rate (25% versus 66%, P = 0.049). Conversely, AA genotype carriers in the control group receiving FOLFIRI/cet did not show a shorter PFS. By combining both FOLFIRI/bev cohorts the worse outcome among AA carriers became more significant (PFS 9.0 versus 10.5 months) in univariable (HR 1.74, P = 0.015) and multivariable analysis (HR 1.76, P = 0.022). Accordingly, AA carriers did also exhibit an inferior overall response rate compared with those harboring any C (36% versus 65%, P = 0.005).ConclusionMKNK1 polymorphism rs8602 might serve as a predictive marker in KRAS wild-type mCRC patients treated with FOLFIRI/bev in the first-line setting. Additionally, MKNK1 might be a promising target for drug development.  相似文献
