AVASTERB OUEST: A prospective cohort study of unresectable metastatic colon cancer treated successively by FOLFIRI bevacizumab and cetuximab irinotecan

Abstract

e15103 Background: Bevacizumab and cetuximab regimen are approuved since 2005 in Europe for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients (MCCP). Very few studies have reported data concerning the sequence (FOLFIRI BEVA and after failure CETUXIMAB- CAMPTO) in MCCP from the real world. Methods: Since 2003, in west of France, (Bretagne-Pays de Loire),a network called OMIT(Observatoire des Médicaments et Innovations Thérapeutiques) directed by Regional Health Agencies has been created. This structure gathered prospectively data from MCCP treated with targeted therapies. Since 2006, a cohort of MCCP treated successively by FOLFIRI BEVACIZUMAB (same protocol : same dose) as first line to progression or unacceptable toxicity and CETUXIMAB- CAMPTO after the first line failure was constitued (AVASTERB cohort). Criteria for initial unresectability of metastic lesions was based on investigator's evaluations during local comitee (surgeons and oncologists). In order to have a large follow up, the 35 first patients of the cohort were studied in this abstract.Age, sex, response rate to the different regimens,secondary metastatic lesion resection, time to progression to the different regimens, follow up and overall survival are the criterias studied. Results: Median age 60 years (49–83), Males : 60%, colon 71%,rectum: 17%, colorectal jonction :12%.Response rate(OR+SD)with Folfiri Bevacizumab : 45.7%. 17% of the patients underwent hepatic surgery with curative intent (all during Folfiri bevacizumab) Time to progression with Bevacizumab : 6 months. Fifty eight percent of the patients are still alive with a median follow up of 25 months (11–29)Median overall survival was not reached.The 12 months and 24 months overall survival rates are respectively 71.4% and 45.7% (date of point: 01/01/2009). Actualisation of the data will be provided during the meeting Conclusions: The results from this prospective unselected cohort of MCCP treated with the sequence FOLFIRI BEVA and after failure CETUX-CAMPTO from the real world show promising TTP, and overall survival. The study of the Kras mutation and others biomarkers could improve these results by personalization of the treatment. This part of our study is actually ongoing.
