ABSTRACT
The randomized phase II VELO trial showed that the addition of panitumumab to trifluridine/tipiracil significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) as compared to trifluridine/tipiracil in third-line therapy in patients with refractory RAS wild-type (WT) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). With longer follow-up, final overall survival results and posttreatment subgroup analysis are presented. Sixty-two patients with refractory RAS WT mCRC were randomly assigned to receive, as third-line therapy, trifluridine/tipiracil alone (arm A) or in combination with panitumumab (arm B). Primary endpoint was PFS; secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and overall response rate (ORR). Median OS was 13.1 months (95% CI 9.5-16.7) in arm A compared to 11.6 months (95% CI 6.3-17.0) in arm B (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.54-1.71, P = .9). To evaluate the impact of subsequent lines of treatment, subgroup analysis was performed for the 24/30 patients in arm A, that received fourth-line therapy after disease progression. Median PFS was 4.1 months (95% CI 1.44-6.83) for 17 patients treated with anti-EGFR rechallenge as compared to 3.0 months (95% CI 1.61-4.31) for seven patients that received other therapies (HR 0.29, 95% CI 0.10-0.85, P = .024). Median OS from the start of fourth-line treatment was 13.6 months (95% CI 7.2-20), and 5.1 months (95% CI 1.8-8.3) for patients treated with anti-EGFR rechallenge vs other therapies, respectively (HR 0.30, 95% CI 0.11-0.81, P = .019). Final results of the VELO trial support the role of anti-EGFR rechallenge in the continuum of care of patients with RAS/BRAF WT mCRC.
