Abstract 93P
Background
In the global, randomized, double-blind, phase 3 FRESCO-2 study (NCT04322539), treatment with F + BSC significantly improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) vs P + BSC, with a favorable toxicity profile in patients (pts) with refractory mCRC. Here we report efficacy and safety data according to race for Asian and non-Asian patient subgroups.
Methods
Patients in USA, Europe, Japan, and Australia were randomized 2:1 to receive F (5 mg) or matching P, PO QD, for 21 days every 28 days + BSC. Eligible pts had received prior chemotherapy, anti-VEGF therapy and, if RAS wild type, anti-EGFR therapy; if BRAFV600E mutant or MSI-H, an appropriate targeted regimen; and prior trifluridine/tipiracil and/or regorafenib. Primary endpoint was OS.
Results
Overall, 61 Asian pts (6 in USA, 55 in Japan) and 594 non-Asian pts were enrolled. Asian vs non-Asian pts were younger (64 vs 52% aged <65 years), had a higher proportion of ECOG PS of 0 (59 vs 41%), and a higher proportion had received >3 lines of prior therapy for metastatic disease (80 vs 71%); pt characteristics were generally balanced between treatment arms within subgroups. OS was improved with F + BSC vs P + BSC in Asian (median 7.1 vs 4.7 months; HR 0.38, 95% CI 0.17–0.83) and non-Asian pts (median 7.6 vs 4.8 months; HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.57–0.86). PFS was also improved with F + BSC vs P + BSC in both Asian and non-Asian pts (Table). The incidence of TEAEs with F + BSC vs P + BSC was 98 vs 84% in Asian pts and 99 vs 94% in non-Asian pts. Grade ≥3 TEAEs are shown in the table. Table: 93P

Conclusions
There was a clinically meaningful improvement in OS and PFS with F + BSC vs P + BSC in both Asian and non-Asian pts. Despite similar median OS between groups, the HR was different in the Asian subgroup; more results from sensitivity analyses may be reported. The safety and efficacy subgroup analysis results were consistent with the overall FRESCO-2 population and with the established monotherapy profile of F.
