Abstract

ABSTRACT Background The VELOUR study [NCT00561470] in previously treated mCRC showed significant improvement in overall survival (13.5 vs 12.06 months; P = 0.0032) and PFS (6.9 vs 4.67 months; P = 0.00007) with aflibercept-FOLFIRI vs placebo-FOLFIRI. Two sensitivity analyses (SAs) were performed to assess robustness of PFS observed in the primary analysis. Methods In the primary PFS analysis, an Independent Review Committee (IRC) assessed disease progression per radiological tumor progression. The primary PFS analysis was performed at a conservative α level of 0.0001. In SA #1, patients with documented radiological progression or death occurring >9 weeks after the last valid tumor assessment without progression and patients who received further anti-cancer therapy without documented progression were censored at the last valid tumor assessment date. In SA #2, PFS was per the investigators' assessment of lesions; clinical progression was considered as an event. Results SA #1 (Table) showed significant improvement in PFS with aflibercept-FOLFIRI compared to placebo-FOLFIRI (P Conclusion The data from these PFS sensitivity analyses (SAs) are consistent with the primary analysis of PFS in VELOUR, further supporting the statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS seen in the primary analysis.
