Abstract

The association of a chemotherapy doublet (FOLFOX/FOLFIRI) with an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (cetuximab or panitumumab) is an upfront option for the treatment of RAS and BRAF wt mCRC patients. Phase II studies investigating the combination of the triplet FOLFOXIRI with an anti-EGFR reported promising activity results and an acceptable safety profile when lower doses of 5FU and irinotecan were adopted. The added value of intensifying the upfront chemotherapy when combined with a targeted agent in a molecularly selected population is not established.
