624 Background: A randomized phase II WJOG6510G study demonstrated non-inferiority of panitumumab (Pmab) plus irinotecan (IRI) to cetuximab (Cmab) plus IRI in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) in wild-type (WT) KRAS exon 2 metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Here, we performed exploratory analyses of updated survival data using KRAS exon 2 and RAS/BRAF statuses. Methods: In this trial, patients with WT KRAS exon 2 mCRC who progressed after failure of fluoropyrimidine, IRI, and oxaliplatin were randomized to receive Pmab or Cmab in combination with IRI. An independent central laboratory performed RAS/BRAF testing using a PCR-reverse sequence specific oligonucleotide method which can detect 48 types of KRAS/NRAS and 34 types of BRAF mutations. Results: In the ITT population, patient characteristics included the following (Pmab/Cmab): number 61/59; male 69%/63%; median age 64 y/64 y; ECOG PS 0 62%/54%; left-sided primary tumor 85%/88%; multiple sites of metastases 51%/66%. At the time of updated analysis, 113 (94%) and 117 (98%) out of 120 patients had OS and PFS events, respectively. Median PFS was 5.42 months in the Pmab arm and 4.27 months in the Cmab arm (HR 0.674, unstratified log-rank p = 0.035). Median overall survival (OS) was 14.85 months in the Pmab arm and 11.53 months in the Cmab arm (HR 0.675, p = 0.037). In 83 patients, RAS/BRAF tests revealed 19 patients (23%) with RAS and 4 patients (5%) with BRAF mutations (two with V600E, two with non-V600E). Patients with RAS and BRAF mutations did not respond to the treatments. In the RAS WT population, a better PFS trend was observed for Pmab treatment (median 6.06 months vs. 5.26 months, HR 0.629, p = 0.08); however, OS was similar in both arms (median 14.85 months vs. 11.26 months, HR 0.818, p = 0.449). Conclusions: In this analysis, a modest survival benefit was found to be associated with Pmab plus IRI compared to Cmab plus IRI in WT KRAS exon2 mCRC, which warrants further evaluation in the WT RAS population. The number of analytic cases of RAS/BRAF status will be updated in the presentation. Clinical trial information: UMIN000006643.

481 Background: Survival advantage of second line FOLFIRI plus cetuximab in patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer has not been well reported. Since mutations in codons 12 and 13 of the KRAS gene predict lack of response to Cetuximab, mutations of V600E BRAF and PI3CA have been controversial. Methods: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of second-line FOLFIRI plus cetuximab in KRAS wt mCRC. Primary endpoint was response rate, other secondary endpoints were PFS, OS and safety. KRAS, BRAF, PI3CA tests by direct sequence were performed in Yamaguchi University. The starting dose of irinotecan was 150mg/ m2 (approved dose in Japan), but decreased to 100mg/m2 with UGT1A1 *28,*6 homozygous or both heterozygous. Results: From December 2008 to November 2009, 112 pts were preregistered. 67 (59.8%) pts were KRAS codon 12, 13 wt, and 60 pts were enrolled: 39 males (65%), 21 females (35%); median age was 62 years (range 37-82). The incidence of UGT1A1*28, *6 homozygous was 2.8%, 4.7% respectively. Grade 3/4 adverse events were leucopenia 26.7%, neutropenia 43.3%, paronychia 10.0%, skin toxity (fissure) 10.0% and acne 5.0%. The confirmed response rate (RECIST) was 31.7% (19/60). The median progression free survival and overall survival were 7.5 (C.I. 5.2-10.1) and 19.5 (C.I. 11.7-22.2) months respectively. Three pts had BRAF mutations and tumor shirinkage were +50.9%, +12%, +85.6% respectively. Two pts had PI3CA mutations and tumor shirinkage were +4%, +44%, respectively. Conclusions: FLIER was the first multicenter phase II trial with prospective analysis of KRAS as a predictive biomarker for cetuximab in second-line mCRC in Japan. Second-line FOLFIRI+cetuximab is well-tolerated and active. Mutations in BRAF and PI3CA gene seemed to be lack of response to cetuximab.

635 Background: Sorafenib and irinotecan (NEXIRI regimen) showed promising activity with a disease control rate (DCR) of 65% in heavily pretreated mutated (mt) KRAS metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients in a phase I/II trial (Samalin et al. 2014).This multicentre randomized phase II trial aimed to determine the 2-month progression-free survival rate (2-PFS) of NEXIRI versus irinotecan or sorafenib monotherapy in mtRAS mCRC patients after failure of all approved active drugs at the time of the study. Methods: Patients PS ≤ 1 with progressive measurable and non-resectable mtKRAS (then RAS) mCRC pre-treated with irinotecan, oxaliplatin, fluoropyrimidines and bevacizumab (none regorafenib), were randomized in 3 arms: NEXIRI (irinotecan IV 120 (C1), 150 (C2) and 180mg/m² (C3) if diarrhea grade < 1 in a biweekly regimen combined with a fixed dose of sorafenib, 400mg twice daily) versus irinotecan alone (180mg/m²) versus sorafenib alone until progression or toxicity, with cross over to NEXIRI at progression for the monotherapy arms. The primary endpoint was the 2-PFS (RECIST v1.1). Pharmacokinetic, pharmacogenetics and pathologic translational studies were undertaken. Results: We included 173 patients (median age 62 [31-82]; PS 0/1: 38/61%) between 2012/09 and 2014/07 in 17 French centres. Main results are shown below (median follow-up 17.5 months). Conclusions: We confirmed the NEXIRI regimen efficacy in a randomized study for refractory mtRAS mCRC patients. These results justify comparing this combination to regorafenib or TAS 102 monotherapies in this population. Ancillary studies are ongoing to identify biomarkers.

Purpose To evaluate panitumumab plus modified fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) or bevacizumab plus mFOLFOX6 in patients with previously untreated wild-type (WT) KRAS exon 2 (codons 12 and 13) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). A prespecified secondary objective was to assess treatment effects in an extended RAS analysis that included exons 2, 3, and 4 of KRAS and NRAS. Patients and Methods Patients with WT KRAS exon 2 tumors were randomly assigned at a one-to-one ratio to panitumumab plus mFOLFOX6 or bevacizumab plus mFOLFOX6. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary end points included overall survival (OS) and safety. Results Of 285 randomly assigned patients, 278 received treatment. In the WT KRAS exon 2 intent-to-treat group, PFS was similar between arms (hazard ratio [HR], 0.87; 95% CI, 0.65 to 1.17; P = .353). Median OS was 34.2 and 24.3 months in the panitumumab and bevacizumab arms, respectively (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.89; P = .009). In the WT RAS subgroup (WT exons 2, 3, and 4 of KRAS and NRAS), PFS favored the panitumumab arm (HR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.96; P = .029). Median OS was 41.3 and 28.9 months (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.39 to 1.02; P = .058) in the panitumumab and bevacizumab arms, respectively. Treatment discontinuation rates because of adverse events were similar between arms. Conclusion PFS was similar and OS was improved with panitumumab relative to bevacizumab when combined with mFOLFOX6 in patients with WT KRAS exon 2 tumors. Patients with WT RAS tumors seemed to experience more clinical benefit with anti–epidermal growth factor receptor therapy.

15 Background: Compared to observation, maintenance therapy with a fluoropyrimidine +/- bevacizumab showed significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) but not in overall survival (OS) in patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and disease control after first-line doublet chemotherapy (CT) +/- bevacizumab. Few studies are available on the role of maintenance therapy after induction anti-EGFR-based CT, and the benefit from anti-EGFR maintenance monotherapy during CT-free intervals (CFI) in patients with RAS wild-type (wt) mCRC. Methods: RAS wt unresectable mCRC patients with controlled disease after FOLFIRI + cetuximab (8 cycles) were randomized (1:1) to receive maintenance with bi-weekly cetuximab alone (arm A) or observation (arm B) until disease progression (PD)/unacceptable toxicity/death. Randomization was stratified according to tumor response, center, baseline Köhne Score, CEA and platelet count. In case of tumor progression during the CFI, FOLFIRI + cetuximab was to be reintroduced for 8 cycles, followed by a new CFI. Tumor response was assessed per RECIST1.1 every 8 weeks. The primary objective of this multicenter non-comparative randomized phase II trial was 6-month PFS rate after initiation of maintenance therapy. A total of 134 randomized and evaluable patients (67 per arm) were required (Fleming’s one-step design, one-sided α=5%, β=20%, H0: 40%; H1: 55%). Secondary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR), time to strategy failure, PFS, OS, safety, quality of life, circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA detection and dynamic changes during treatment. Results: From January 2014 to April 2019, 214 patients were included and 139 randomized (67 arm A/72 arm B) in 35 centers. Baseline characteristics were: males, 67%/69%; median age, 64/68 years; ECOG PS 0, 54%/46%; previous adjuvant therapy, 25%/14%; single metastatic site, 58%/47%; right-sided primary, 24%/18%. The ORR in the overall and the randomized population was 55% and 72%, respectively. The median follow-up was 30 months. The 6-month PFS rate after initiation of maintenance therapy was 30% 95%CI[19; 42] in the maintenance arm, and 6% 95%CI[2;14] in the observation arm, with a median PFS of 5.3 95%CI[3.7;6.5] and 2.0 95%CI[1.8;2.8] months, respectively. Any grade treatment-related toxicity, including skin rash (40%/4%), diarrhea (33%/8%), and hypomagnesemia (46%/10%) was more frequent in arm A. Conclusions: Based on the study hypothesis, the cetuximab maintenance arm did not meet the primary objective. However, the clinically meaningful difference in PFS without any overlap in the confidence intervals between the two arms warrants further investigation. Clinical trial information: NCT02404935.

557 Background: The optimal treatment sequence in current standard care for patients (pts) with anti-EGFR antibodies-naïve metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is cetuximab (C) followed by regorafenib (R). The objective of this randomized phase II trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of the therapeutic sequence of R followed by C compared with that of C followed by R for mCRC pts. Methods: Pts with KRAS exon 2 wild-type mCRC after failure of fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan were randomized to receive sequential treatment with R followed by C ± irinotecan (R-C arm) or reverse sequence (C ± irinotecan followed by R; C-R arm). The primary endpoint was OS. Key secondary endpoints included PFS with initial treatment (PFS1), PFS with second treatment (PFS2), safety, and QOL. The exploratory endpoint was serial biomarker analyses including oncogenic alterations from ctDNA or multiple serum proteins. Results: Between November 2013 and September 2016, 101 pts (51 in the R-C arm and 50 in the C-R arm) were randomized and eligible for efficacy analysis. Baseline characteristics were well-balanced in both arms. Bevacizumab had been previously administered in 96% and 98% pts in R-C and C-R, respectively. Sequential treatment was succeeded in 86% pts in both arms. After a median follow-up of 29.0 months with 81 death events, median OS in R-C and C-R were 17.4 and 11.6 months, respectively (stratified logrank P = 0.0293), with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.61 for OS (95% CI, 0.39–0.96). HR for PFS1 (R in R-C versus C in C-R) was 0.97 (95% CI, 0.61–1.54), whereas that for PFS2 (C in R-C versus R in C-R) was 0.29 (95% CI, 0.17–0.50). No unexpected safety signals were observed in both arms. OS results in RAS/RAF wild type populations with ctDNA analysis at study entry (n = 86) were similar to those of overall population. Conclusions: This was the first randomized study to compare the two therapeutic sequences of R and C for mCRC, suggesting R followed by C is the preferred sequence. Comparable PFS1 and remarkable PFS2 improvement may lead to a longer OS in R-C sequence. The results of detailed biomarker analysis would be also reported.
