690 Background: In recent years, prognostic and predictive factors in mCRC are becoming more important, outstanding the tumor and metastasic location, the primary tumor and/or metastasis resections as well as molecular biomarkers (KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA). Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 334 patients with mCRC diagnosticated between January 2010 and June 2015 in the Oncology Service from HGUGM. The objective of our study was to evaluate the overall survival (OS) relating to each of these settings. We also evaluated OS considering the biological treatment received in first line. Multivariant analysis was performed with independence of tumor and metastasic location, metastasectomies, no primary tumor resection, biological treatment used in first line, age, sex and moleculars biomarkers. Results: Median OS was 24,34m. The advantageous prognostic factors which statistically significant impact on the median OS have been triple (RAS and BRAF) (n = 86) and quadruple (RAS, BRAF and PIK3CA) (n = 76) wild-type (wt 36,6m vs mut 23m, p = 0,02; wt 37,6m vs mut 23,38m, p = 0.02, respectively), left tumor location with rectum (left 25,55m vs right 19,44m, p = 0,001) and isolated hepatic and pulmonary metastasic location (30,32 vs 23 m, p = 0,03; 45,32m vs 23,38 m, p = 0,004, respectively). The main disadvantageous prognostic factor has been the no primary tumor resection (13,75m vs 31,61m, p = 0,00001) with independence of synchronous presentation of the disease as well as biomarkers mutational status. Median OS in first line was 30.13 m with bevacizumab (n = 54) vs 16,18m with antiEGFR (n = 28) (p = 0.02) in extended RAS wild-type patients (n = 101). Considering the multivariate analysis, the independent prognostic factors have been the isolated pulmonary metastasis (HR = 0,46; CI 95% 0,30-0,73;p = 0,001), quadruple wild-type (HR = 0,69;CI 95% 0,49-0,97; p = 0,031), metastasectomies (HR = 0,29; CI 95% 0,21-0,4; p = 0,000), right location (HR = 1,43; CI 95% 1,08-1,9;p = 0,014) and no primary tumor resection (HR = 2,06; CI 95% 1,49-2,86; p = 0,000). Conclusions: Isolated pulmonary metastasis, quadruple wild-type, metastasectomies, left location and primary tumor resection have independent positive prognostic value, according to our retrospective study.

After initial treatment, maintenance therapy is now commonly used in mCRC patients, which can help patients live longer, have lower side effects, and higher quality of life. The maintenance treatment may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or combined with chemotherapy and targeted therapy. But the evidence of cetuximab maintenance is still scant.Methods: We collected real-world data of wild-type RAS unresectable mCRC patients who were treated with cetuximab-based chemotherapy as the first-line therapy between January 2013 and December 2018 at the Zhejiang Cancer Hospital (Hangzhou, China).Results: A total of 177 patients were ultimately included in the study, and 107 patients had progression information in medical records; all patients had survival data. The median OS was 40.9 ms, ORR was 14.7%, and DCR was 73.5%. The subgroup analysis showed that the mOS was better in maintenance patients than in non-maintenance patients (47.1 vs. 28.6 ms, p = 0.001), patients with primary tumor resection had better mOS than who did not (47.1 vs. 35.4 ms, p = 0.038). In those 107 patients who had progression information, the median PFS was 9 ms, the median OS was 42.6 ms, ORR was 18.7%, and DCR was 84.1%. The subgroup analysis showed that the mPFS and mOS were 11.6 and 47.1 ms, respectively, in the maintenance group, which were significantly better than 6.1 ms and 28.7 ms in the non-maintenance group (p = 0.025 and 0.017, respectively). The mPFS and mOS in patients with efficacy evaluation of CR + PR + SD were 10.3 and 47.1 ms, respectively, which is significantly better than 2.8 and 13.5 ms in the PD patients (p = 0.012 and <0.001, respectively). The mOS was best in only lung metastases patients (60.9 ms), then only liver metastases patients (47.1 ms), and then in both liver and lung metastases (42.6 ms); the mOS in patients with other organs metastases was the worst (22.4 ms), p = 0.022. The mOS in male individuals is better than that in female individuals, 60.99 vs. 29.1 ms, respectively, p = 0.042. The primary tumor site and primary tumor resection also affect the OS, primary tumor resection better than did not (not reach the end vs. 35.7 ms, p = 0.048), left side better than right side (47.1 vs. 16.6 ms, p < 0.001), which is consistent with the literature report. There was no statistical difference in other subgroups.Conclusion: For patients with all RAS wild-type and initially unresectable mCRC who experienced standard first-line cetuximab-based treatment and maintenance treatment that contained cetuximab can significantly improve the mPFS and mOS, and the observed toxicity was mostly mild too. So, we consider that cetuximab can be an effective and safety maintenance drug in mCRC patients.

Abstract Background Stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) patients are heterogeneous with distinctive clinicopathologic features and prognosis. Radical resection of primary tumor and distant metastases is associated with improved survival outcomes in metastatic CRC. The value of palliative primary tumor resection is controversial. The present study explored which subgroups benefited more from primary tumor resection in metastatic CRC. Methods Between 2004 and 2015, patients with metastatic CRC were identified using the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database. Uni- and multivariable Cox regression analysis were performed to identify factors associated with decreased cancer-specific mortality. The subgroups were divided based on the independent prognostic factors. Results Age, marital status, race, serum CEA, histologic type, differentiation, tumor location, surgery of primary or metastatic lesion, site of metastases, number of metastatic sites, chemotherapy and radiotherapy were identified as independent prognostic factors. Patients with non-white race, normal serum CEA, non-signet ring cell carcinoma, well or moderate differentiation, surgery of metastases, isolated liver metastasis, single metastasis, receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy presented more survival benefit from primary tumor resection. Conclusion Subgroup of metastatic CRC optimizes decision-making and selected patients will benefit more from primary tumor resection.

3507 Background: In patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and unresectable metastasis, the prognostic impact of primary tumor resection still remains a matter of debates. The goal of this study was to estimate, after adjustment for prognostic factors, the effect of primary tumor resection on survival. Methods: Individual patients’ data of the 1155 patients with metastatic CRC included in 4 first-line chemotherapy trials (FFCD 9601, FFCD 2000-05, ACCORD 13 and ML 16987) where retrieved. Patients were eligible for this study if they had synchronous metastasis judged unresectable. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), secondary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS). A Cox proportional hazard model stratified on the trial was used to estimate the impact on survival. Results: 810 patients beginning first-line chemotherapy with either fluoropyrimidine alone, oxaliplatin, irinotecan and/or bevacizumab were eligible. Patients with a history of resection (n = 478 (59%)), as compared to those without (n = 332 (41%)), were more likely to have colonic primary (p < 0.0001), lower carcino embryonic antigen (CEA) (p < 0.0001) or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level (p=0.04) and normal white blood cell count (WBC) (p < 0.0001). In the univariate analysis, stratified on the trial, primary tumor resection was associated with a better OS (Hazard Ratio HR: 0.73 [0.63-0.84]; p < 0.0001) and PFS (HR : 0.73 [0.63-0.84]; p < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis, adjusted for primary tumor location, CEA, ALP and WBC levels, OMS performance status and number of metastatic sites confirmed that primary tumor resection was an independent predictor of better OS (HR : 0.63 [0.53-0.75] ; p < 0.0001), and PFS (HR : 0.82 [0.70-0.95] ; p = 0.0007). Significant interactions were found between resection and CEA level (p=0.02) and resection and primary tumor location (p=0.01) for OS (not for PFS) with a lower impact of resection with higher CEA levels or a colonic primary. Conclusions: This study confirmed the independent prognostic value on survival of primary tumor resection in patients with unresectable metastases of CRC.

658 Background: In patients (pts) with mCRC with an asymptomatic primary tumor, there is limited evidence regarding the indication for primary tumor resection. The primary objective was to evaluate the prognostic value of primary tumor resection in synchronous mCRC pts. Methods: In this IPD analysis, a total of 3,423 pts from 8 first-line randomized trials (RCTs) with systemic therapy in the ARCAD (Aide et Recherche en Cancérologie Digestive) database were analyzed. Five RCTs included targeted (anti-VEGF and/or anti-EGFR) agents. Synchronous mCRC was defined as distant metastases occurring ≤ 6 months of the initial CRC diagnosis. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared by stratified multivariate Cox models. Results: There were 710 (21%), 1,705 (50%) and 1,008 (29%) pts with non-resected and resected synchronous mCRC and metachronous mCRC, respectively. Compared to the non-resection group, pts in the synchronous resection group were associated with female gender, colon tumor, isolated liver/lung involvement, single metastatic site, and lower LDH (all p<.001). Adjusted for age, gender, performance status and prior chemotherapy, the non-resection group had a significantly worse median OS (16.4m) compared to the resection (22.2m; HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.43-1.78) and metachronous (22.4m; HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.58-2.07) groups. Similarly, PFS was significantly worse for the non-resection group (7.9m) compared to the resection (9.7m; HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.19-1.44) and metachronous group (8.9m; HR 1.47, 95% CI 1.30-1.66). Similar trends were observed in pts treated with non-targeted vs targeted agents, and anti-VEGF vs anti-EGFR therapy. In a subset analysis (n= 526), the observed associations remained after additional adjustment for primary tumor location, liver/lung involvement, number of metastatic sites, BMI and LDH. Conclusions: In this largest IPD analysis of mCRC trials to date, primary tumor resection is associated with better OS and PFS in synchronous mCRC pts. These results may be subject to bias since reasons for (non)resection were not available. Prospective RCTs on this topic are ongoing.
