Analysis of early tumor shrinkage (ETS) and depth of response (DpR) in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients (pts) treated with second-line FOLFIRI plus panitumumab (Pani) or bevacizumab (Bev): Results from a randomized phase II WJOG6210G trial.

Background: The WJOG 6210G trial demonstrated a similar efficacy between Pani and Bev arms at 2nd-line setting in pts with KRAS exon2 wild-type mCRC (Shitara K, et al, Cancer Sci 2016). The exploratory analyses of clinical trials evaluating 1st-line chemotherapy for mCRC have shown significant associations of ETS and DpR with prognosis; however, there is few data in 2nd-line treatment. We investigated whether ETS and DpR are associated with clinical outcomes in mCRC pts treated with 2nd-line treatment using the data of WJOG 6210G trial. Methods: ETS was defined as tumor reduction of 20% at week 8 compared to baseline in the sum of longest diameters of target lesions according to the RECIST criteria. DpR was defined as the percentage of maximum tumor shrinkage of target lesions. Fisher’s exact test and t-test were used to compare ETS and DpR between Pani and Bev arms. A Cox regression model was used to evaluate associations between ETS and progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). The association of DpR with PFS and OS was analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Results: Eighty-seven pts were evaluable for ETS and DpR (Pani, n = 41; Bev, n = 46) among 121 pts enrolled in the WJOG6210G. Pts in the Pani arm had a higher ETS rate (39.0 % vs. 8.7 %, p< 0.001) and greater DpR [median: 23.7 % (range: -49.0 to 100) vs. 0 % (range: -40.7 to 61.5), p< 0.001] than pts in the Bev arm. Pts with ETS achieved longer PFS [median: 10.5 vs. 5.4 m, HR: 0.40 (95% CI: 0.20-0.80), p = 0.009] and OS [median: 22.3 vs. 14.5 m, HR: 0.49 (95% CI: 0.23-0.98), p = 0.044] than pts without ETS in the Pani arm. Similarly, the Bev arm pts with ETS had longer PFS [median: 17.1 vs. 5.6 m, HR: 0.078 (95% CI: 0.004-0.38), p = 0.0002] and OS [median: 30.9 vs. 13.2 m, HR: 0.35 (95% CI: 0.083-0.99), p = 0.048]. There were moderately linear correlations of DpR with PFS and OS in both Pani (PFS: r = 0.75, p< 0.001; OS: r = 0.60, p< 0.001) and Bev arms (PFS: r = 0.68, p< 0.001; OS: r = 0.44, p = 0.002). Conclusions: ETS and DpR were significantly associated with PFS and OS in mCRC pts treated with 2nd-line FOLFIRI in combination with Pani or Bev. Clinical trial information: UMIN000031621.
