Background: A few reports have shown the efficacy of bevacizumab (BV) independent of the KRAS Exon2 mutational status (KRAS). We performed a sub-group analysis by KRAS from the HGCSG0802 observational cohort study that investigated 115 patients (pts) treated with 1st line BV for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods: The objective of HGCSG0802 was to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), response rate (RR), and safety. The key eligibility criteria were with evaluable lesions, older than 20 years, ECOG PS 0-2. In this analysis, pts characteristics, RR and safety were compared using Fisher’s exact test. Univariate and multivariate analysis for PFS and OS were performed using patient characteristics. Survival analyses were performed with Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model. Results: Of 108 pts (the full analysis set), 99 pts were evaluable for KRAS. Sixty-two pts (62.6%) had KRAS wild-type (wt) and 37 pts (37.4%) had mutation (mt). The pts characteristics between those with wt and with mt were generally balanced except for PS 0 (91.9% in wt, 75.7% in mt; p = 0.036) and lung metastasis (33.9% in wt, 62.2% in mt; p = 0.007). RR was 70.0% in wt versus 65.7% in mt. Adverse events related to BV were almost balanced except for bleeding (any grade) (30.6% in wt, 13.5% in mt; p = 0.088). The median PFS and OS was 9.9 and 26.8 months in wt versus 7.9 and 17.5 months in mt (PFS ; HR 1.519, p = 0.064 and OS ; HR 1.944, p = 0.005). In Cox multivariate analysis, KRAS mt showed significantly shorter PFS and OS (PFS ; HR 1.637, p = 0.045 and OS ; HR 2.132, p = 0.005). Conclusions: In this cohort, depending on the KRAS Exon2 mutational status, severe adverse events were no significant difference. The multivariate analysis showed that PFS and OS were significantly longer in the KRAS Exon2 wild-type patients. So, KRAS Exon2 mutational status can be a predictive and prognostic marker in bevacizumab combined 1st line chemotherapy. Clinical trial information: UMIN000018935.
