3588 Background: This study investigated the impact of early tumor-shrinkage (ETS) on progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated within the AIO KRK-0104-trial. ETS was previously shown to be a predictor of treatment response to cetuximab. The present analysis, for the first time, evaluates the correlation of ETS with outcome parameters in patients undergoing capecitabine-based therapy. It also aims to correlate the predictive value of ETS and cetuximab-induced skin toxicity. Methods: The AIO KRK0104 trial was performed as a randomised study comparing capecitabine/oxaliplatin (CAPOX) plus cetuximab to capecitabine/irinotecan (CAPIRI) plus cetuximab in the first-line treatment of mCRC. 121 patients were available for evaluation of ETS at 6 weeks. ETS was defined as a relative change of ≥20% in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions compared to baseline. Results: Tumors of 63 patients (71% KRAS wild-type (wt), 100% skin reactions) developed ETS, 58 tumors did not develop ETS (53% KRAS wt, 86% skin reactions). ETS was associated with prolonged PFS (8.9 vs. 4.7 months, p<0.001, hazard ratio: 0.37) and OS (31.6 vs. 15.8 months, p=0.005, hazard ratio: 0.48) in patients with KRAS wt tumors but not in patients with KRAS mutant mCRC. ETS occurred more frequently with CAPOX- vs CAPIRI-based therapy (p=0.05). There was a highly significant correlation between the occurrence of ETS and cetuximab-related skin toxicity of any grade (I-III) (p=0.002). ETS was documented more frequently in patients with liver metastasis (p=0.09), metastatic involvement of <2 organs (p=0.09), KRAS wild-type tumors (p=0.06) and no previous adjuvant chemotherapy (p=0.06). Conclusions: In patients with KRAS wild-type mCRC receiving capecitabine- and cetuximab-based first-line therapy ETS correlates with prolonged PFS and OS. ETS also correlates with cetuximab-induced skin toxicity. Both parameters may therefore serve as post-randomisation surrogate markers of favourable outcome for cetuximab-based treatment.

631 Background: Early tumor shrinkage (ETS) and depth of response (DoR) predict overall survival (OS) in first-line chemotherapy + anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies in KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). This association and the predictive accuracy of response measurements were investigated in the first-line setting for FOLFOX/FOLFIRI plus cetuximab. Methods: We performed a study of FOLFOX/FOLFIRI plus cetuximab as first-line treatment in Indian patients with KRAS wild-type mCRC. The primary endpoint was response rate (RR), and secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Radiologic assessments at week 8 were used to calculate the relative change in the sum of the longest diameters of the target lesions. Cox regression models analysis investigated associations between ETS and overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Results: Sixty (78.9 %) of 76 patients had ETS, which was associated with prolonged PFS and OS. Both ETS and DoR were able to predict survival as accurately as RECIST response. Both ETS and DoR were associated with PFS and OS at the univariate analyses and in the multivariate models stratified for other prognostic variables. In the study patients, the RR, median PFS, and OS were 68.4 %, 13.1 months, and 30.6 months, respectively. Median DpR was 52%. The DpR correlated with OS as well as PFS. FOLFOX plus cetuximab was active as a first-line, with no major toxicities. Conclusions: Our prospective evaluation of chronological tumor shrinkage showed that ETS and DpR correlate with outcomes in patients with KRAS wild-type mCRC who receive cetuximab-based chemotherapy. Achieving rapid and deep tumor shrinkage consistently delays tumor progression and prolongs survival in patients treated with first-line chemotherapy plus cetuximab. ETS is a promising and valuable end point for clinical trials’ design deserving further investigation.
