Abstract 3888

Background

The C-cubed study investigates the optimal treatment strategy in patients with untreated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We tested the superiority of a sequential treatment of FP+BEV followed by OX+FP+BEV (arm A: OX “wait & go”) at first progression to a combination treatment of OX+FP+BEV (arm B: OX “stop & go”), trial information: UMIN000015405.

Methods

The Primary endpoint was time-to-failure of strategy (TFS). A target sample size of 304 patients was considered sufficient to validate an expected Hazard Ratio (HR) for TFS of arm A compared with arm B with 80% power and 2-sided 5% α in case of a true HR value of < 0.69. Secondary endpoints included overall response rate, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival, and safety.

Results

Between Dec 2014 and Sep 2016, 311 patients were enrolled, and 302 patients were randomized either to receive the arm A (n = 151) or B (n = 151) as a full analysis set (FAS). Superiority of TFS in the arm A was established in this study (HR, 0.475; 95% CI, 0.362–0.623; p < 0.0001). OSs in the arms A and B were not considered significantly different (HR, 0.930; 95% CI, 0.666–1.298). The patient population was predominantly positive for RAS mutant tumors (RAS MT) compared with that for RAS wild-type tumors (RAS WT), but this did not confer any clinical disadvantage in TFS to either arms (see table for details). We will present additional data associated with RAS status and differences between capecitabine and 5-fluorouracil at the meeting.Table:

Conclusions

The sequential “wait & go” strategy for OX was superior in TFS compared with the combinational “stop & go” accompanying with the equal survival benefit of nearly 30 months. Thus, the sequential approach with FP+BEV followed by OX is deemed an acceptable treatment strategy for patients with mCRC.
