Abstract 105P
Background
Cetuximab-based infusional 5-FU regimens are approved for the first-line treatment of mCRC in 116 countries. The OPTIM1SE study observed long-term real-world outcomes of these regimens in routine practice in Australia, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, Russia, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia.
Methods
OPTIM1SE was a prospective, open-label, observational study. Patients with untreated KRAS wild-type mCRC and distant metastases were treated per the locally approved label and monitored for 3 years via hospital, laboratory, and other records. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1. Safety and other efficacy outcomes were secondary endpoints.
Results
From 19 Nov 2013 to 30 Jun 2016, 520 patients were enrolled by 51 sites. Patients were mostly male (61.2%) with a mean age of 58.5 (±12.0) years; 1.7% were BRAF mutated; 420 patients were treated with FOLFIRI-based regimens and 94 with FOLFOX. The most common primary tumor site was rectum (38.8%) with liver metastases (65.0%). ORR was 45.4% (95% CI, 41.1%-49.7%), including 26 patients (5.0%) with a complete response. Median progression-free survival was 9.9 months (95% CI, 8.2-11.0); median overall survival (mOS) was 30.8 months (95% CI, 27.9-33.6). Patients receiving FOLFIRI-based regimens had better outcomes than those on FOLFOX, including increased ORR (48.6% vs 34.0%) and mOS (31.3 vs 28.6 months). Higher mOS was also associated with tumors of left- rather than right-sided origin (HR 0.69 [95% CI, 0.49-0.99]), and higher ORR with liver metastases compared to all other metastases (55.4% vs 40.2%). Adverse events were consistent with the known safety profile of cetuximab. The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) were rash (20.2%), dermatitis acneiform (16.5%), and paronychia (13.7%); 2.1% of patients had a serious TRAE.
Conclusions
Cetuximab-based 5-FU regimens were effective in treating patients with mCRC, particuarly in those with left-sided disease origin and with liver metastases only, in routine practice. FOLFIRI-based cetuximab regimens were more common and showed improved outcomes over FOLFOX. Our findings are consistent with recent studies.
