Abstract
493 Background: Standard 1L mCRC treatment (tx) includes a CT backbone (e.g., modified leucovorin [LV]/5-fluorouracil [5-FU]/oxaliplatin [mFOLFOX6] or LV/ 5-FU/ irinotecan [FOLFIRI]) and biologic therapy (e.g., BV). The preferred CT backbone for anti VEGF tx is unknown. MAVERICC (NCT01374425), a global, randomized, open-label, phase 2 trial, assessed tx efficacy and safety of mFOLFOX6-BV vs FOLFIRI-BV in pts with mCRC. Intratumoral ERCC1 and plasma VEGF-A were studied as biomarkers for oxaliplatin- and BV-containing tx, respectively. Methods: Pts with mCRC (≥1 measurable metastatic lesion, ECOG performance status ≤1) were randomized 1:1 to receive BV (5 mg/kg) + mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI every 2 weeks, stratified by ERCC1 level (low [£1.7] vs high [>1.7]) and region. VEGF-A levels were measured at baseline. Primary objectives were to evaluate: ERCC1 as a biomarker of progression-free survival (PFS) in 1L mCRC tx (mFOLFOX-BV vs FOLFIRI); and VEGF-A as a biomarker for BV and as a biomarker in combination with ERCC1 for PFS following CT + BV. Secondary objectives were to evaluate: the effect of ERCC1 and VEGF-A on overall survival (OS), objective response rate, hepatic metastases resection, and safety. PFS and OS were estimated by Kaplan–Meier methods, hazard ratios (HR) were estimated by Cox regression, and p-values were based on stratified log-rank tests. ERCC1 biomarker analyses are presented here. Results: A total of 376 pts were randomized: median age, 61 yr; white race, 83%; US region, 85%. Baseline characteristics: ERCC1 high, 35%; KRAS mutant, 34%. Efficacy results are shown (see Table). Conclusion: Consistent with previous findings, PFS and OS were comparable in pts treated with either 1L mFOLFOX6-BV or FOLFIRI-BV. Exploratory analyses within pts with high ERCC1 levels suggest consistent results. VEGF-A analyses are ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT01374425. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]
