Abstract Background: Although chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has improved, the standard chemotherapy regimens for patients with RAS wild-type mCRC remain debated.Methods: This randomized phase II, open-label, multicenter study compared the efficacy and safety of S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX)+bevacizumab (B-mab) with SOX+cetuximab (C-mab) in patients with previously untreated recurrent advanced CRC with wild-type KRAS. Between February 2012 and October 2016, 45 patients were enrolled.Results: Overall response rates were 59.1% and 43.5% (p=0.29) and disease control rates were 90.9% and 91.3% (p=0.96) in the SOX+B-mab and SOX+C-mab groups, respectively. Median overall survival (OS) was 25.3 and 15.5 months (HR=0.607, p=0.167) and median progression-free survival (PFS) were 11.7 and 5.5 months (HR=0.558, p=0.077) in the SOX+B-mab and SOX+C-mab groups, respectively. The OS and PFS of patients with early tumor shrinkage (ETS) were not significantly different in the SOX+B-mab group. However, they were significantly better when ETS was ≥20 in the SOX+C-mab group (p=0.032 and p=0.003, respectively).Conclusions: The efficacy and safety of SOX+B-mab and SOX+C-mab for wild-type KRAS recurrent advanced CRC as first-line chemotherapy were almost the same.

TPS143 Background: Patients with KRAS and NRAS ( RAS) wild-type mCRC benefit from the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies (Abs) panitumumab and cetuximab, but nearly all patients experience resistance. Blood-based profiling of cell free DNA (cfDNA) can identify genomic alterations that drive acquired EGFR Ab resistance. After discontinuation of anti-EGFR Abs, acquired genomic alterations decay over time to undetectable levels. Some studies have suggested clinical benefit from EGFR Ab rechallenge, but there is limited evidence that EGFR Ab rechallenge improves survival compared to standard of care (SOC) therapies. We hypothesize that cfDNA profiling will identify patients appropriate for panitumumab rechallenge, and that these molecularly selected patients will have improved survival compared to current SOC therapies. Methods: This is a randomized phase II, open label study designed to compare the overall survival (OS) of panitumumab rechallenge versus SOC (investigator choice TAS-102 or regorafenib). Secondary objectives include comparisons of progression free survival, objective response rate, clinical benefit rate, and quality of life as measured by the linear analogue self-assessment (LASA) questionnaire. Eligible patients have radiographically measurable KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF codon 600 wild-type mCRC based on tumor tissue testing, and must have experienced progression or intolerance to treatment with a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, an anti-VEGF Ab, and an anti-PD-1 Ab if the tumor has mismatch repair deficiency or is MSI-H. Progression after at least 4 months treatment with an anti-EGFR Ab is required. All patients must be enrolled in the COLOMATE cfDNA screening protocol (NCT03765736) and meet molecular eligibility based on Guardant360 cfDNA profiling (absence of amplification of ERBB2, KRAS, NRAS, and MET; absence of mutations of BRAF, EGFR, ERBB2, KRAS, NRAS, and MET [mutant allele frequency > 0.5%]). Greater than 90 days must have elapsed between the most recent treatment with an anti-EGFR Ab and cfDNA profiling. Dosing for all study drugs is according to clinical SOC. 120 patients will be randomized 1:1 to panitumumab rechallenge or SOC. With 83 OS events, this study will have 80% power to detect an improvement in median OS from 6.5 to 10 months (HR=0.65; 1-sided α= 0.15). This study began enrollment in 6/2020. Recruitment is ongoing at 16 sites in the Academic and Community Cancer Research United (ACCRU) network (ACCRU-GI-1623). Clinical trial information: NCT03992456.

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.

3558 Background: Anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) antibodies alone or in combination with irinotecan (Iri) can be considered standard third-line therapy for KRAS wild-type (wKRAS) unresectable colorectal cancer (UNCRC). However, some UNCRC patients (pts) cannot tolerate Iri-containing therapy. S-1, an oral fluorouracil (FU) derivative, enhances the anti-tumor effect by inhibiting dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase activity and reducing digestive toxicity. Combination therapy with cetuximab (C-mab) may restore 5-FU resistance in 5-FU–resistant CCs. Therefore, we examined the efficacy of S-1+C-mab therapy in wKRAS UNCRC pts, who had previously received Iri, oxaliplatin (OX), and FUs. Methods: The study design was multicenter, single-arm, open-label phase II study. The major inclusion criteria were written informed consent; histologically proven CRC and clinically proven UNCRC; presence of measurable lesions; previous therapy with Iri, OX, and 5-FU; documented progressive disease after 5-FU–based chemotherapy; wKRAS tumors; age ≥ 20 years; performance status (PS) 0–1; and adequate organ function. The treatment protocol was as follows: weekly durable intravenous (DIV) C-mab administration at 400 mg/m2 (day 1) and 250 mg/m2/week (except day 1) and oral administration of 80 mg/m2/day S-1 on days 1–28 of each 42-day cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). A sample size of 39 was planned for a threshold PFS of 3.5 months and expected value of 6.0 months, with one-sided alpha of 0.05 and beta of approximately 0.2. Results: One patient was ineligible; 38 pts (PS 0/1, 32/6; 1/2/>3 prior chemotherapy regimens, 4/23/11) were enrolled from 10/2009 to 12/2010. The median PFS (central review) was 5.5 months (90% CI: 4.4 – 5.7); median overall survival (OS), 13.1 months; and the best ORR, 36.8%. The most common grade 3–4 adverse events were neutrophils, hypokalemia, rash, and dry skin. Conclusions: This study showed that S-1+C-mab may be a promising and well-tolerated treatment choice of wKRAS UNCRC, who had previously heavily treated by Iri, OX and FUs.

3558 Background: We previously reported the result of the phase II OGSG1602 study in which single agent of panitumumab (Pmab) demonstrated 76.5% and 50% of disease control rate (DCR), primary endpoint, and response rate (RR), respectively, in chemotherapy-naïve frail or elderly patietns (pts) with wild-type (wt) RAS unresectable colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we reports the survival analysis including overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) in terms of sidedness and early tumor shrinkage (ETS). Methods: Thirty-six pts aged ≥76 years, or ≥65 considered unsuitable for intensive chemotherapy were enrolled and received Pmab 6 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks. Primary tumors located in the cecum to transverse colon were coded as right-sided tumors (RST), while tumors located from the splenic flexure to rectum were considered left-sided tumors (LST). Early tumor shrinkage (ETS) was determined as tumor reduction of 20% at week 8 compared to baseline. Results: Of total of 36 enrolled pts, 34 pts were included in the efficacy analysis, with pts with LST vs. RST being 26 vs. 8 cases, while pts who achieved ETS (ETS+) vs. those who did not achieve ETS (ETS-) being 15 vs. 19 cases. Among the evaluable 34 pts, the median PFS (mPFS) and median OS (mOS) were 6.0 months (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 5.4-10.0) and 17.5 months (95%CI, 13.8-24.3), respectively, with the median follow-up of 17.0 months. For PFS, there were no significant differences between pts with LST vs. RST [6.6 months (95%CI, 5.4-11.5) vs. 4.9 months (95%CI, 1.9-NA), p = 0.120] but between pts with ETS+ vs. ETS- [10.4 months (95%CI, 7.4-NA) vs. months (95%CI, 2.1-7.9), p = 0.001]. Furthermore, OS was significantly different either in pts with LST vs. RST [19.3 months (95%CI, 14.2-NA) vs. 12.3 (95%CI, 9.9-NA), p = 0.043] or in pts with ETS+ vs. ETS- [ months (n = 15, 95%CI, 19.6-NA) vs. 10.1 months (n = 19, 95%CI, 6.8-21.8), p < 0.001]. Conclusions: Pmab monotherapy showed the favolable OS in the frail or elderly pts with RAS wt, unresectable CRC. Our data also confirmed the prognostic value of sidedness as well as predictive value of ETS in this setting. Clinical trial information: UMIN000024528. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of combination treatment with panitumumab plus trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) in patients with wild-type RAS metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who were refractory/intolerant to standard therapies other than anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy. Methods APOLLON was an open-label, multicentre, phase 1/2 trial. In the phase 1 part, 3 + 3 de-escalation design was used to investigate the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D); all patients in the phase 2 part received the RP2D. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 6 months. Secondary endpoints included PFS, overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), time to treatment failure (TTF), and safety. Results Fifty-six patients were enrolled (phase 1, n = 7; phase 2, n = 49) at 25 Japanese centres. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed in patients receiving panitumumab (6 mg/kg every 2 weeks) plus FTD/TPI (35 mg/m2 twice daily; days 1–5 and 8–12 in a 28-day cycle), which became RP2D. PFS rate at 6 months was 33.3% (90% confidence interval [CI] 22.8–45.3). Median PFS, OS, ORR, DCR, and TTF were 5.8 months (95% CI 4.5–6.5), 14.1 months (95% CI 12.2–19.3), 37.0% (95% CI 24.3–51.3), 81.5% (95% CI 68.6–90.8), and 5.8 months (95% CI 4.29–6.21), respectively. Neutrophil count decreased (47.3%) was the most common Grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse event. No treatment-related deaths occurred. Conclusion Panitumumab plus FTD/TPI exhibited favourable anti-tumour activity with a manageable safety profile and may be a therapeutic option for pre-treated mCRC patients.
