The IL-17 cytokine family comprising IL-17A to IL-17F and receptor subunits IL-17RA to IL-17RE represents a genetically ancient intercellular network regulating local tissue homeostasis. Its pivotal role in antifungal defense and its central position in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases including psoriasis were discovered only relatively late in the early 2000s. Since the connection of dysregulated IL-17 and psoriasis pathogenesis turned out to be particularly evident, a number of monoclonal antibodies targeting IL-17 pathways have been approved and are used as first line treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and further agents are currently in clinical development.

First Line Treatment

The natural history of follicular lymphoma is usually characterized by an indolent course with a high response rate to the first line therapy followed by recurrent relapses, with a time to next treatment becoming shorter after each subsequent treatment line. More than 80% of patients have advanced stage disease at diagnosis. The time of initiation and the nature of the treatment is mainly conditioned by symptoms, tumor burden, lymphoma grading, co-morbidities and patients preference. A number of clinical and biological factors have been determined to be prognostic in this disease, but the majority of them could not show to be predictive of response to treatment, and therefore can’t be used to guide the treatment choice. CD20 expression is the only predictive factor recognized in the treatment of FL and justifies the use of “naked” or “conjugated” anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies as single agent or in combination with chemo- or targeted therapy. Nevertheless, as this marker is almost universally found in FL, it has little role for the choice of treatment. The outcome of patients with FL improved significantly in the last years, mainly due to the widespread use of rituximab, autologous and allogeneic transplantation in young and fit relapsed patients, the introduction of new drugs and the improvement in diagnostic accuracy and management of side effects. Agents as new monoclonal antibodies, immuno-modulating drugs and target therapy have recently been developed and approved for the relapsed setting, while studies to evaluate their role in first line treatment are still ongoing. Here we report our considerations on first line treatment approach and on the potential factors which could help in the choice of therapy.

e14645 Background: This meta-analysis was performed to determine whether the addition of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy treatment improves efficacy in KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), and whether infusional 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and oxaliplatin is a preferred combination for EGFR mAbs. Methods: Oxaliplatin (including treatment), EGFR mAbs, first-line treatment, KRAS wild-type, and mCRC were used as key words. The PRIME, OPUS, COIN, and NORDIC VII trials were identified by two independent authors. Time-to-event outcomes of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed using HRs (Hazard Ratios) with fixed effect, and response rate (RR) using odd ratios (OR) with fixed effect. Results: A total of 1,767 patients who were KRAS wild-type were included in this meta-analysis, with 866 patients in the mAbs and chemotherapy combination group and 901 patients in the chemotherapy alone group. The addition of mAbs to oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in patients with KRAS wild-type mCRC as first-line treatment resulted in significant improvements in PFS (HR=0.88; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.79 to 0.99; P=0.03) and response rate (RR) (OR = 1.38; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.66; P = 0.009) compared with chemotherapy alone, but the difference in OS was not significant (HR=0.96; 95% CI, 0.85 to 1.08; P=0.48). However, the differences neither in OS nor in PFS were not significant when mAbs were added to bolus 5-FU or capecitabine-based regimens compared with chemotherapy alone, whereas PFS improved with an infusional 5-FU and oxaliplatin combination (P=0.06; PFS, HR=0.76; 95% CI, 0.65 to 0.86; P=0.0002), and even OS was marginally significant. Conclusions: Oxaliplatin and infusional 5-FU regimen tends to be a better backbone combination with EGFR mAbs as first-line treatment in KRAS wild-type mCRC.
