Background: Treatment of non-resectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) involves chemotherapy based on 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan and monoclonal antibodies targeting VEGF or EGFR. Rechallenge with oxaliplatin and irinotecan bi fractionation (FOLFIRI3) have previously shown efficacy in chemorefractory patients but desynchronized triplet chemotherapy was never tested. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new regimen so-called: FOLFIRINOX-3 bevacizumab in chemorefractory mCRC. Methods: A phase I study to test bFOLFIRINOX 3 regimen was designed using Standard “3 + 3” design for dose escalation. Patients enrolled, >18years and ECOG 0 or 1, have a pathologically confirmed mCRC and experienced treatment failure after standard chemotherapy that include 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan. Absence of residual neuropathy and previous grade 3 irinotecan related toxicity was manditory. Regimen tested consisted of bevacizumab (5mg/kg) plus simplified FOLFOX4 (folinic acid (400mg/m2), 5-fluorouracil (400mg/m2 bolus followed by 2400mg/m2 for 46h), oxaliplatin (85mg/m2) and irinotecan (administered before and after infusional 5-fluorouracil). Three irinotecan levels were planned at 60, 70 and 90 mg/m² (day 1 and day 3). Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) were identified during the first 2 cycles. Primary endpoint was assessment of maximum tolerable dose trough evaluation of acute toxicities (CTCAE v4.03). Secondary endpoints included objective response (RECIST 1.1), progression free survival, overall survival and late toxicity. Results: Thirteen patients received experimental treatment on this study. The RP2D was irinotecan 70mg/m² day 1 and day 3. Two patients experienced DLTs (G3 diarhea ) at dose level 90mg/m² and one DLT occured (G3 diarrhea) at 70mg/m² level. The most common drug-related adverse events (all grades) were fatigue (92.3%), diarrhea (76.9%), nausea (61.5%), peripheral neuropathy (61.5%), thrombopenia (46.1%) and anemia (15.3%). Among 11 response-evaluable patients, we noticed 4 partial responses, 7 stable disease and no progression as best response. Conclusions: The combination of bFOLFIRINOX-3 at the RP2D of 70mg/m² day 1 and day 3. was well tolerated and feseably. The regimen resulted in high response rate in chemorefractory metastatic colorectal cancer. Phase II is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03795311
