Abstract 3082
Background
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of development and recurrence of colorectal cancer. The role of obesity in mCRC patients (pts) is still unclear, especially in those treated with triplet plus bevacizumab (bev). The aim of our study was to evaluate the prognostic and predictive role of BMI in mCRC pts treated with FOLFOXIRI plus bev or FOLFIRI/FOLFOX plus bev in the TRIBE and TRIBE-2 trial.
Methods
1160 pts enrolled in TRIBE and TRIBE-2 trials were included. Baseline height and weight were used to assign patients to one of the following BMI categories: underweight (group A = BMI <18.5 kg/m2; 52 pts), normal (group B= BMI 18.5–29.9 kg/m2; 952 pts) and obese (group C > 30 kg/m2; 156 pts).
Results
In our population, no differences in terms of PFS (p = 0.38) or OS (p = 0.93) resulted between three groups. No interaction effect between treatment arm and BMI was evident in terms of PFS (HR: 0.70 [95%CI: 0.40-1.22]; HR: 0.78 [95%CI: 0.68-0.89]; HR: 0.66 [95%CI: 0.48-0.91]; p for interaction= 0.61, in group A,B,C respectively) or OS (Group A HR: 0.62 [95%CI: 0.31-1.25]; Group B HR: 0.84 [95%CI: 0.72-0.98];Group C HR: 0.67 [95%CI: 0.46-0.99] p for interaction= 0.44). No statistically significant difference in terms of dose reductions due to toxicities were required according to BMI in overall population (p = 0.48) and in pts treated with FOLFOXIRI plus bev (p = 0.57).
Conclusions
BMI was not prognostic either for PFS or for OS in our population. Our analyses showed that the advantage of FOLFOXIRI plus bev versus FOLFIRI/FOLFOX plus bev was independent from BMI.
