Background: Anti-EGFR therapies are frequently given as first-line therapy for patients with mCRC, while anti-angiogenic therapies may be suitable at any line. Despite improving outcomes for patients with mCRC, there is still an unmet need regarding the optimal treatment sequence. In this post hoc analysis, the safety and effectiveness of aflibercept + FOLFIRI was evaluated for patients with mCRC based on their prior anti-EGFR therapy use. Methods: OZONE is a prospective, multicenter, observational, non-comparative study evaluating patients receiving aflibercept + FOLFIRI in the clinical setting, for 24 months from aflibercept initiation or until death. Patients were retrospectively assessed according to prior use of anti-EGFR therapy (defined as patients who received cetuximab and/or panitumumab as previous anti-cancer therapy). Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed by hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI); overall response rate (ORR) was analyzed by odds ratios (OR) and 95% CI. Results: Among the overall treated population (N = 766), 19.2% (n = 147) received prior anti-EGFR therapy. Prior anti-EGFR therapy had no significant impact on the median OS (11.47 vs 12.58 months; HR [95% CI] 1.112 [0.889–1.390]), median PFS (5.29 vs 6.24 months; HR [95% CI] 1.022 [0.830–1.260]), or ORR (14.96% vs 18.75%; OR [95% CI] 0.597 [0.332–1.071]) of patients vs those who did not receive prior anti-EGFR therapy. Rates of grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were similar between patients who did vs did not receive prior anti-EGFR therapy (70.7% vs 67.7%). The most frequently reported grade ≥ 3 TEAEs for patients who did vs did not receive prior anti-EGFR therapy were neutropenia (12.2% vs 15.0%), hypertension (8.8% vs 10.3%), and diarrhea (10.2% vs 9.4%). Conclusions: This post hoc analysis of the OZONE study did not reveal major differences in safety and effectiveness according to prior anti-EGFR therapy.
