Abstract 117P
Background
First-line (1L) treatment options for LS RASwt mCRC include the addition of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRi) to chemotherapy (CT), supported by the overall survival advantage versus CT + bevacizumab (BEV) demonstrated recently in PARADIGM, the first phase 3 trial with pre-planned analysis by tumour side. Treatment selection and outcomes in Australasian routine practice has yet to be described.
Methods
Data from 1/2015 – 5/2023 on patients with LS RASwt mCRC who received 1L doublet CT for palliative intent was reviewed from TRACC, a prospective, multi-site Australasian registry. Baseline clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes were analysed with p ≤0.05 denoted as statistical significance.
Results
Of 676 LS RASwt, palliative intent, mCRC patients, 573 (85%) were actively treated, 404 (60%) receiving 1L doublet CT. Of these, 193 (48%) also received EGFRi and 120 (30%) also received BEV. Compared to BEV, patients receiving 1L EGFRi trended towards younger age (57 vs 61 years, p=0.07), were more often Stage IV at diagnosis (80% vs 70%, p=0.05), and less likely to have a BRAF mutant tumour (5% vs 17%, p=0.002). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 11.7, 9.7 and 10.9 months for EGFRi + doublet CT, BEV + doublet CT and doublet CT alone respectively (HR 0.86 [0.67-1.12], p=0.06 for EGFRi + doublet CT versus BEV + doublet CT). Median overall survival (OS) was 38.1, 29.8 and 31.0 months for EGFRi + doublet CT, BEV + doublet CT and doublet CT alone respectively (HR 0.78 [0.58-1.07], p=0.12 for EGFRi + doublet CT versus BEV). Second-line (2L) PFS was similar for initial EGFRi (n=50 patients) then BEV versus opposite (n=32 patients) sequence (9.7 vs 8.0 months, p=0.55). Notably 24% of patients did not receive an EGFRi in 1L or 2L.
Conclusions
In Australasian practice, 1 in 2 patients with LS RASwt mCRC received 1L treatment with EGFRi + doublet CT, with trends toward improved PFS and OS versus BEV + doublet CT. 1 in 4 patients never received an EGFRi in 1L or 2L treatment, with further research required to understand clinician rationale for reserving active targeted treatments to later line settings.
