Background. Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and BRAF V600E mutation have a poor prognosis, with a median progression-free survival (PFS) of only 5–7 months after initial therapy. The current standard first-line chemotherapy for these patients includes FOLFOX or FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab. In this study, we explored the effects and oncological outcomes of UGT1A1 polymorphism for irinotecan escalation in patients with BRAF-mutated mCRC. Patients and Methods. This retrospective study included 17 patients with BRAF-mutated mCRC between April 2016 and December 2019. UGT1A1 genotyping was performed on all patients prior to initiating bevacizumab plus FOLFIRI chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was PFS, and the secondary endpoints were toxicity, response rate, disease control rate, and overall survival (OS). Results. Fifteen and two patients had UGT1A1 1∗/1∗ and 1∗/28∗, respectively. Eight underwent irinotecan dose escalation with tolerable adverse effects (AEs), and nine maintained an irinotecan dose of 180 mg/m2 or required deescalation to 150 mg/m2 due to intolerable AEs. After a median follow-up period of 15.7 (range, 3–54) months, the median PFS and OS were 9.4 and 15.7 months, respectively. Grade 3/4 AEs were observed in three (6%) patients. The disease control and partial response rates were 64.7% and 11.8%, respectively, indicating that most patients (14, 82.3%) could maintain this as a first-line line therapy with stable disease or proceed to second-line therapy if disease progression occurred, thereby maintaining acceptable performance status. Conclusions. The oncological outcomes of patients with BRAF-mutated mCRC treated using FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab with irinotecan dose escalation as a first-line therapy are acceptable with tolerable AEs; this may be a feasible treatment option in such patients. Pretherapeutic UGT1A1 genotyping-guided dose adjustment can achieve favorable outcomes.

491 Background: Infusional fluorouracil/leucovorin plus irinotecan-based regimen (FOLFIRI) with bevacizumab has been widely used as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We prospectively analyzed the influence of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) genotyping for irinotecan dose escalation in mCRC patients treated with combination of FOLFIRI and bevacizumab as the first-line setting. Methods: A total of 65 mCRC patients undergoing first-line treatment with FOLFIRI combined with bevacizumab were analyzed. Genotypes were performed by analyzing the sequence of TATA box of UGT1A1 of genomic DNA from the patients. Genotype and clinical parameters were compared by univariate analysis. The irinotecan dose is escalating form 180 mg/m2 to 260 mg/m2 in UGT1A1 6/6 or 6/7, and from 120 mg/m2 to 210 mg/m2 in UGT1A17/7. Results: The response rate was observed in 44 of 60 UGT1A1 6/6 or 6/7 (73.3%) in comparison to 1 of 5 UGT1A1 7/7 (20%) patients (p=0.013). The grade III-IV adverse events (AE) was observed in 4 of 60 UGT1A1 6/6 or 6/7 (6.7%) in comparison to 3 of 5 UGT1A1 7/7 (60%) patients (p<0.001), but it was not different between age of ≥ 70 and < 70 (p=0.559). Fifteen of 60 (20%) patients with UGT1A1 6/6 or 6/7 could be performed with liver or lung metastaectomy in comparison to none of 5 patients with UGT1A1 7/7. In addition, the disease control rate was significantly higher in irinotecan dose of ≥ 210 mg/m2 than irinotecan dose of < 210 mg/m2(p=0.015). Conclusions: UGT1A1 promoter polymorphism was found to be predictive of toxicity and efficacy in mCRC patients with first-line treatment of FOLFIRI combined with bevacizumab. The higher dose of irinotecan (≥ 210 mg/m2) may achieve a better disease control rate but do not increase the incidence of GR III-IV AE in mCRC patients of age ≥ 70 years.

625 Background: The polymorphisms of genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes can play a crucial role in the increased susceptibility of patients to chemotherapy. This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial to compare the clinical outcomes and adverse events in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients treated with bevacizumab plus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin/irinotecan (FOLFIRI) with or without UGT1A1genotyping and irinotecan dose escalation as the first-line setting (NCT02256800). Methods: The enrolled patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups on the basis of receiving UGT1A1 genotyping or not. The study group receives a biweekly FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab, with irinotecan dose escalation based on UGT1A1 genotyping; whereas the control group receives the conventional biweekly FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab without UGT1A1 genotyping. The primary endpoint was the overall response rate (ORR), and the second endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicities between the two groups. Results: BetweenAugust 2013 and May 2016, eighty-eight mCRC patients were enrolled, including 45 patients in the study group and 43 patients in the control group. With a median follow up time of 12.5 months (range, 5-30), the ORR was 71.4% vs. 44.2% ( P = 0.011). The PFS was 14.04 ± 1.44 vs. 9.08 ± 0.58 months in study group and control group ( P = 0.195), OS was 19.12 ± 1.24 vs. 14.16 ± 1.04 months ( P = 0.098), and ≥ Gr. III anemia was 2.2% vs. 23.3% ( P= 0.002) in study group and control group, respectively. However, there were no significant differences in ≥ Gr. III leukopenia or diarrhea even though the 1.36 fold relative dose intensity (RDI) in the study group. Conclusions: In the current study, patients with mCRC undergoing UGT1A1 genotyping may receive escalated doses of irinotecan for a potentially more favorable clinical response and outcome, in addition to acceptable toxicities. Such a personalized medicine based on genotyping may be feasible for potentially clinical practice. Clinical trial information: NCT02256800.

Abstract Background:The prognosis of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) depends on the metastatic site and systemic therapy regimen. Peritoneal metastases are associated with a relatively unfavorable prognosis among patients with mCRC. In this article, we present the treatment outcomes of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC)–only, liver metastasis (LiM)–only, and lung metastasis (LuM)–only CRC.Methods:Overall, 206 mCRC patients with single-site metastasis and who had received treatment from January 2014 to December 2018 were recruited. Among 206 patients with mCRC, 15 had PC-only mCRC, 145 had LiM-only mCRC, and 46 had LuM-only mCRC. They attended regular follow-ups until November 2020, and the median follow-up period was 24.7 months (5.1–41.3 months). Patients’ characteristics, including clinical data, gene mutation profiles, and clinical outcomes, were evaluated. All patients with PC-only CRC were treated with first-line bevacizumab and FOLFIRI, and the irinotecan dose escalation depended on UGT1A1 polymorphism.Results:Of the 206 patients, no statistical difference was observed between the PC-only, LiM-only, and LuM-only groups in terms of age, primary tumor location, RAS mutation status, BRAF mutation status, and epidermal growth factor receptor overexpression (all P > 0.05). KRAS mutations were detected in two (16.7%) patients with PC-only CRC, 39 (36.4%) patients with LiM-only CRC, and 12 (36.4%) patients with LuM-only CRC. NRAS mutations were detected in one (8.3%) patient with PC-only CRC, six (7.3%) patients with LiM-only CRC, and two (7.1%) patients with LuM-only CRC. BRAF mutations were detected in two (15.4%) patients with PC-only CRC, seven (6.9%) patients with LiM-only CRC, and one (2.9%) patient with LuM-only CRC. Patients with PC-only CRC had a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 18.0 months and a median overall survival (mOS) of 24.6 months. Patients with LiM-only or LuM-only CRC had mPFS of 18.2 and 26.6 months and mOS of 25.0 and 44.5 months, respectively. No significant differences regarding PFS and OS (both P > 0.05) between the three groups of patients with mCRC were observed.Conclusions:A PC-only status is considered to be a challenge in the treatment of patients with mCRC. Our study revealed that in patients with PC-only mCRC had a higher incidence of BRAF mutations, and treatment of first-line bevacizumab and FOLFIRI through irinotecan dose escalation according to UGT1A1 polymorphism could confer such patients with comparable outcomes to that of patients with LiM-only and LuM-only mCRC. However, further prospective randomized trials on patients with peritoneal metastatic mCRC should be conducted to verify the findings of this retrospective study.
