A phase II study of FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab (Bmab) as initial chemotherapy for patients (pts) with untreated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC): TRICC1414 (Be TRI).

Abstract

134 Background: FOLFOXIRI-Bmab has been recognized as one of the standard first-line treatments for mCRC. We conducted a single arm, multicenter, phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of FOLFOXIRI-Bmab in pts with untreated mCRC harboring UGT1A1(*6 and *28) wild or single hetero genotype. Methods: Pts received FOLFOXIRI-Bmab (irinotecan 165 mg/m2, oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, l-leucovorin 200mg/m2, fluorouracil 3200 mg/m2 and Bmab 5mg/kg repeated biweekly) up to a maximum of 12 cycles, followed by the sequential therapy which consisted of the remaining drugs if any of the individual drugs were discontinued at the investigator’s discretion. Protocol therapy was continued until progressive disease, an unacceptable adverse event, tumor resection or consent withdrawal. The primary endpoint was ORR evaluated by central reviewers. Secondary endpoints include TTF, PFS, OS, R0 resection rate, relative dose intensity (RDI) and safety. The exploratory objectives were early tumor shrinkage (ETS), depth of response (DoR). Results: 47 pts were enrolled from 16 centers between April 2015 and May 2017, of whom 1 was excluded for not meeting the inclusion criteria. The full analysis set consisted of 44 pts because 2 had no target lesions that were considered measurable lesion by central reviewers. 46 pts had the following characteristics: median age 58 (29-68), 57% male, 76% PS0, 22% right-sided tumors and 52% UGT1A1 wild. RAS status was 37% wild, 52% mutant, 11% unknown. Primary endpoint was met. The ORR was 63.6% (95% CI, 47.8-77.6). ETS and DoR was 70.5%, 43.9%, respectively. R0 resection rate was 23%. Median PFS was 15.5mo (95% CI, 11.5-23.4). Median TTF was 8.1mo (95% CI, 5.3-10.1). Median OS was 34.4mo (95% CI, 26.4-not reached). The mean RDI of fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin were 71%, 67%, and 64%, respectively. Grade 3 or higher adverse events (≥10%) were neutropenia (65.2%), febrile neutropenia (FN) (26.1%), anorexia (10.9%), nausea (10.9%), and diarrhea (10.9%). No treatment-related deaths were observed. Conclusions: Our results of FOLFOXIRI-Bmab in Japanese pts showed to be beneficial and manageable although caution to FN is required. Clinical trial information: NCT02497157.
