511 Background: Strong evidence is emerging about the usefulness of mutational profiling for CRC pts. This study aimed to evaluate the overall survival in three molecular groups, taking as reference the all-wild type category: (1) BRAF mutated; (2) KRAS mutated codons 12-13 only; (3) any of KRAS codons 61-146, PIK3CA exon 9-20 or NRAS cod 12-13-61 mutations. Also clinical variables were investigated as potential prognostic factors. Methods: Data of 194 consecutive pts treated for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) at our University Hospital in Udine, Italy, between Jan 2004 and Jan 2013 were reviewed. Point mutations were detected by pyrosequencing platform PyroMark Q96 ID instrument for KRAS/NRAS codons 12, 13, 61, and 146, BRAF exon 15, and PIK3CA exons 9 and 20. Clinical and molecular prognostic factors were identified using the Cox proportional hazards model. Results: The all wild-type population consisted of 76 pts (39%). 62 cases (32%) harboured mutations in KRAS codons 12-13. BRAF V600E mutation was found in 10 (5.2%) samples. Mutations in KRAS 61-146, PIK3CA and NRAS codons were detected in 9 (4.6%), 32 (16.5%) and 6 (3.1%) pts, respectively. All factors significant in univariate analysis were subjected to multivariate analysis (see Table). The all-wild type category had the longest survival (27.7 months). Patients carrying BRAF mutations reported an overall survival of 7.6 months and those with KRAS 12-13 mutation 16.7 months. Conclusions: This study reinforces the prognostic value of a full mutational molecular profile and points out some prognostic clinical factors in CRC. The influence of clinical variables such as right colon cancer, primary tumour not resected, exposure to bevacizumab and lines of chemotherapy need further investigation. [Table: see text]

3577 Background: The rechallenge with EGFR inhibitors represents an emerging strategy for anti-EGFR pre-treated patients with RAS wild type colorectal cancer (CRC). Unfortunately definitive selection criteria for anti-EGFR rechallenge in this setting are lacking. Very recently RAS wild type status on circulating tumor DNA (ct-DNA) at the time of rechallenge along with already known clinical criteria emerged as a potential watershed for this strategy. In the present study we explored liquid biopsy-driven anti-EGFR rechallenge strategy in the clinical practice for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods: Ct-DNA from RAS and BRAF wild type metastatic CRC patients previously treated with an anti-EGFR containing therapy was analyzed for RAS/BRAF mutations with the aim to evaluate the rechallenge strategy with anti-EGFR. The ct-DNA was analyzed for RAS-BRAF mutations using pyro-sequencing (PyroMark Q24 MDx Workstation) and nucleotide sequencing (Genetic Analyzer ABI3130) assays. Real-time PCR (Idylla) and droplet digital PCR (QX200 System) were performed to confirm the RAS-BRAF mutation status. Several clinical variables including previous response to anti EGFR containing therapy, tumor sidedness and anti-EGFR free interval were evaluated in relation to outcome. Tumor response evaluation was performed according to RECIST 1.1. Differences between categorical variables were evaluated using the Fisher’s exact test. Survival probability over time was estimated by the Kaplan–Meier method. Significant differences in the probability of survival between the strata were evaluated by log-rank test. Results: Twenty patients were included in the study. All patients were tested for RAS-BRAF mutations in ct-DNA. Fourteen patients (70%) showed a RAS-BRAF WT molecular profile, six patients (30%) showed a KRAS mutation. All the patients with ct-DNA RAS-BRAF WT profile underwent rechallenge with anti-EGFR. In details 11 patients (78.6%) underwent irinotecan+ cetuximab treatment, whereas 3 patients (21.4%) underwent panitumumab monotherapy. As for the outcome results to the rechallenge strategy, the median OS was 7 months (95% CI 5.0 to 13.0), the median PFS was 3 months (95% CI 2.0 to 6.0), the ORR was 27.3% with a DCR of 54.5%. Among the clinical variables evaluated as putative predictive/prognostic factors, previous response to anti-EGFR treatment was related to a not statistically significant improved OS (12 months vs 5 months HR:0.19 p: 0.06) and to a statistically significant improved ORR (75% vs 0% p:0.03). Conclusions: The rechallenge strategy with anti-EGFR confirmed to be feasible in clinical practice. The clinical outcome resulted consistent with the literature data. In addition to the molecular selection through the analysis of ct-DNA for RAS, previous response to anti EGFR treatment is confirmed as a prospective selection criteria for this therapeutic option.

57 Background: FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab (BEV) is regarded as the standard of care for selected patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), despite the high incidence of neutropenia and diarrhea. The AXEPT phase III study showed that the modified capecitabine (CAP) + irinotecan (IRI) + BEV (CAPIRI+BEV) [CAP 1600 mg/m2, IRI 200 mg/m2, and BEV 7.5 mg/kg q3wk] treatment was non-inferior to FOLFIRI+BEV, with a lower incidence of hematologic toxicity. We hypothesized that the modified CAPIRI combined with oxaliplatin (OX) and BEV (CAPOXIRI+BEV) would be more feasible than FOLFOXIRI+BEV, without compromising efficacy. Methods: The QUATTRO-II study is an open-label, multicenter, randomized phase II study. In Step 1, the recommended doses (RD) of OX and IRI were investigated as a safety lead-in. In Step 2, pts are randomized to either the RD of CAPOXIRI+BEV or FOLFOXIRI+BEV. In Step 1, four dose levels of CAPOXIRI (fixed dose of CAP 1600 mg/m2 and BEV 7.5 mg/kg plus escalated or de-escalated doses of OX and IRI, q3wk) were investigated in a 3+3 manner. A dose level of ≤ 2/6 of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) cases was expected as the RD. Results: A total of 9 pts (3 at Level 0, 6 at Level 1) were included in Step 1. The baseline characteristics were as follows: the median age was 62 years; 6 were male; 6 presented with a left-sided tumor; 8 had a performance status of 0; all wild type/ RAS mutant/ BRAF V600E mutant were 8/1/0; and UGT1A1 wild type/*6 single hetero/*28 single hetero were 7/0/2. In Level 0 (IRI 200 mg/m2, OX 100 mg/m2), one grade 4 neutropenia and one grade 3 anorexia were observed, but without DLT. In Level 1 (IRI 200 mg/m2, OX 130 mg/m2), two grade 4 neutropenia and one grade 3 colitis were observed, with 1 DLT (febrile neutropenia) case, fully recovered without G-CSF administration. No treatment-related deaths were observed. Although dose modifications were needed in 4 of the 6 pts, no further safety concerns related to treatment continuity were observed in the 2nd or subsequent cycles. Thus, we determined that the dose administered in Level 1 is the RD for Step 2. According to the preliminary efficacy results at 8 weeks after initiating study treatment, 6 pts achieved a partial response (2 in Level 0 and 4 in Level 1). Conclusions: The RD of CAPOXIRI+BEV was 200 mg/m2 IRI, 130 mg/m2 OX, 1600 mg/m2 CAP, and 7.5mg/kg BEV. The randomized phase II Step (Step 2) of QUATTRO-II is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT04097444.

445 Background: To investigate the predictive significance of KRAS exon 2, BRAF V600E, PIK3CA exon 9 and 20 mutational status, AREG- EREG mRNA expression, PTEN protein expression and skin rash in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with cetuximab containing salvage chemotherapy. Methods: Primary tumors from 112 mCRC patients were analyzed. The worst skin toxicity during treatment was recorded. Results: KRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA mutations were present in 37 (33%), 8 (7.2%) and 11 (9.8%) cases, respectively, PTEN was lost in 21 (19.8%) cases, AREG and EREG were overexpressed in 48 (45%) and 51 (49%) cases. In the whole study population, time to tumor progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) was significantly lower in patients with KRAS (p=0.001 and p=0.026, respectively) or BRAF (p=0.001 and p<0.0001, respectively) mutant tumors, downregulation of AREG (p=0.018 and p=0.013, respectively) or EREG (p=0.002 and p=0.004, respectively) and in those with grade 0-1 skin rash (p<0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively). In KRAS wt patients TTP and OS was significantly lower in patients with BRAF (p=0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively) mutant tumors, downregulation of AREG (p=0.021 and p=0.004, respectively) or EREG (p=0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively) and grade 0-1 skin rash (p<0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively). TTP was significantly lower in patients with PIK3CA mutations (p=0.01) or lost PTEN (p=0.002). Multivariate analysis revealed KRAS (hazard ratio [HR] 4.3, p<0.0001), BRAF mutation (HR: 5.1, p<0.0001), EREG low mRNA expression (HR: 1.6, p=0.021) and absence of severe/moderate skin rash (HR: 4.0, p<0.0001) as independent prognostic factors for decreased TTP. Similarly, KRAS (HR 2.9, p=0.01), BRAF mutation (HR: 3.0, p=0.001), EREG low mRNA expression (HR: 1.7, p=0.021), absecence of severe/moderate skin rash (HR: 3.7, p<0.0001) and the presence of undifferantited tumours (HR: 2.2, p=0.001) were revealed as independent prognostic factors for decreased OS. Conclusions: These results underscore the potential of advanced CRCs genetic profiling in order to identify patients with different treatment response.

147 Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths with liver being most common site of CRC metastasis. More than 50% of the CRC patients will develop metastatic liver lesion that eventually leads to death in about 70% of them. In this retrospective review we reviewed the outcome of pts who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by resection of liver lesion for metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods: 304 pts who had preoperative chemotherapy were identified from 1045 metastatic colorectal cancer patients who had liver metastasectomy at Mayo Clinic between 1997 and 2018. A retrospective review was conducted by using data from electronic medical records. Statistical analyses utilized Kaplan-Meier method, Log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards models. Results: There were 113 (37%) female and 191 (63%) male pts. Median age at primary disease diagnosis was 56.5 yrs. Two hundred forty-nine pts presented with stage IV metastatic colorectal cancer. Primary tumor locations were: 53 right-sided, 117 left-sided and 133 rectum. 152 (50%) pts had extrahepatic metastases. Two pts were found to be MSI-H, 113 MSS, 189 unknown. BRAF mutation was found in 6 patients. RAS mutation was present in 84 patients, with 124 unknown. Pts received chemotherapy for median of 2.82 months. Single agent fluoropyrimidine was administered in 38 (12%) pts and rest receiving chemotherapy doublet or triplet with fluropyrimidine plus oxaliplatin being most common regimen. The median overall survival from primary diagnosis for the entire group was 74.5 months. Median overall survival from liver metastasectomy was 60.0 months. In univariate analysis, metachronous disease, age < 60 yrs, and an absence of extrahepatic lesions led to statistically significant improvement of overall survival from primary diagnosis. Metachronous and extrahepatic lesions remained statistically significant in multivariate analysis. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by liver metastasectomy is beneficial for highly-selected metastatic colorectal cancer pts. Compared to a historical control of 30-36 months, our patient population had a median overall survival of about 5 years from resection.
