Abstract
62 Background: Both Regorafenib (R) and Trifluridine/Tipiracil (T) ± BEV are widely used treatments for mCRC in later lines. This RW study evaluated optimal sequencing and associated outcomes among patients who initiated R and T in sequential lines of therapy (LOT) between LOT1-LOT6 within community oncology settings in the US. Methods: A retrospective study utilizing electronic medical record data from The US Oncology Network examined adult patients with mCRC who initiated R and T ± BEV sequentially between 09/01/2015 and 11/30/2022 (index date), with follow-up until 05/31/2023. Treatment patterns, overall survival (OS) and time to next treatment (TTNT) after sequence were assessed overall, R first (R-T) and T first (T-R). Multivariable Cox regression adjusting for age, sex, ECOG, tumor stage, and prior medication, assessed the association of factors with OS and TTNT. Results: In total, 308 mCRC patients initiating R and T (R-T, 156 pts [140 R-T and 16 R-T+BEV]; T-R, 152 pts [136 T-R and 16 T+BEV-R]) met study criteria. Baseline demographic (mean age 63 yrs, males 55%) and clinical characteristics (70% colon cancer, 58% ECOG 0-1) were similar between the cohorts. Most patients initiated index therapies at the third line of therapy (LOT3) (49% R-T, 45% T-R). The median (IQR) sequence duration was 7.4 (5.6), 6.7 (4.4), and 7.0 (4.7) months, respectively in patients with R-T, T-R, and overall. The median (95% CI) OS was 12.8 (11.2, 14.1) months among R-T and 10.2 (8.8, 11.9) months among T-R patients. Compared to R-T, the adjusted HR for the T-R sequence was 1.2 (95% CI 0.9–1.6; p=0.2). The median (95% CI) TTNT was 9.3 (8.4, 10.3) and 8.6 (7.8, 9.4) months, for R-T and T-R, respectively; the adjusted HR was 1.1 (95% CI 0.8–1.4; p=0.62). Conclusions: Patients initiating R first appeared to have a longer duration of treatment and survival, although not statistically significant. The one-year median duration of survival in this real-world setting confirms the importance of access to these treatments in patients with mCRC and can inform physicians regarding the choice of medications while sequencing therapies in mCRC.
