Abstract 438P

Background

Patients (pts) with mCRC progressing under standard chemotherapy have limited therapeutic options. Trifluridin/Tipiracil (TAS102) significantly improved survival in patients with refractory mCRC. Ramucirumab (ram) is approved in combination with FOLFIRI for 2nd line treatment. There is a strong rationale to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ram in combination with TAS102 in pts with refractory mCRC.

Methods

This is a randomized, open label, multicenter, phase IIb study in pts with advanced mCRC. Eligible patients are randomized to receive either ram (8 mg/kg on d1+15, q4w) and TAS102 (35 mg/m2 on d1-5 and d8-12, q4w, arm A) or TAS102 alone (arm B). Primary endpoint is overall survival. A total of 144 patients will be enrolled in 30 sites. Main secondary endpoints include overall response rate, progression free survival and safety. As no toxicity data were available for the combination of TAS102 and ram, two interim safety analyses were planned. Here we present the data of the 2nd interim safety analysis after 40 patients were treated for at least two cycles in the ram/TAS102 combination arm.

Results

Patients (40 arm A, 40 arm B) had received a median of 2.5 treatment cycles in arm A and 2 cycles in arm B; 31 patients in treatment arm A and 32 patients in arm B discontinued participation prematurely, mainly due to progression. Most patients developed adverse events (AEs): grade 3 AEs were observed in 28 pts (70%) in arm A (24 treatment related) and 27 pts (67%) (17 treatment related) in arm B. More grade 4 AEs were seen in arm A 13 pts (32.5%) than in arm B 5 pts (12.5%). In total, 46 Serious AEs (SAEs) occurred, 27 in arm A (10 treatment related) and 19 in Arm B (2 treatment-related). 5 SAEs (3 in arm A, 2 in arm B) had a fatal outcome (one in arm A treatment-related). Within the analyzed population, no SUSAR occurred.

Conclusions

The safety data showed an increase in toxicity in the experimental arm, but no unexpected events. There was no excessive toxicity-rates or unacceptable risks. The risk-benefit-considerations and the conduct of the trial remain unchanged.
