Background: Antiangiogenic treatments are a proven useful tool to improve clinical outcomes in patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Recently, higher levels of vascular endothelial growth factor-D (VEGF-D) are a potential predictive biomarker for ramucirumab efficacy on overall and progression-free survival in mCRC (Tabernero J, et al. ESMO 2017). However, there are limited data on mCRC associating the efficacy of antiangiogenic therapy with angiogenesis-related mediators, such as VEGF family members and their receptors, and with dynamic transition among these mediators during clinical courses. In addition, immune-related factors such as interferon gamma (IFNγ) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) may be associated with the regulation of angiogenesis. Methods: This prospective longitudinal study aims to investigate the association between plasma angiogenesis-related mediators and clinical outcomes in mCRC. The key eligibility criteria include pts with mCRC who will receive one of the following regimens: first-line chemotherapy plus bevacizumab, first-line chemotherapy plus anti-EGFR antibody (either cetuximab or panitumumab), second-line FOLFIRI plus ramucirumab, second-line FOLFIRI plus aflibercept, or second-line chemotherapy plus bevacizumab. Plasma is collected twice in pairs from all pts pre- and post-treatment. Comprehensive measurements of plasma angiogenesis-related mediators, such as placental growth factor (PlGF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), IL-6, IL-8, angiopoietin-2, neuropillin-1, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), thrombospondin-2 (TSP-2), osteopontin (OPN), sVEGFR-1, sVEGFR-2, sVEGFR-3, VEGF-A, VEGF-D, as well as key targets associated with immunotherapy such as IFNγ and TGFβ1 are analyzed in parallel by the multiplex assay with Luminex® technology. The target sample size is 1,000. This study was initiated in September 2017. Clinical trial information: UMIN000028616.
