Angiogenesis pathway genes show substantial genetic variability causing inter-individual differences in responses to anti-angiogenic drugs. We examined 20 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 13 of these genes to predict tumour response and clinical outcome measured as progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in 57 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) given bevacizumab plus chemotherapy. SNPs were detected (iPLEX® Assay) in genomic DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumour specimens. The variant allele CD39 rs11188513 was associated with a good tumour response (p = 0.024). Patients homozygous for the wild-type allele FGF2 rs1960669 showed a median PFS of 10.95 months versus 5.44 months for those with at least one variant allele-A (HR 3.30; 95% CI: 1.52–7.14; p = 0.001). Patients homozygous for wild-type MMP9 rs2236416 and rs2274755 showed a median PFS of 9.48 months versus 6 and 6.62 months, respectively, for those with at least one variant allele (p = 0.022, p = 0.043, respectively). OS was also lengthened to 30.92 months (p = 0.034) in carriers of wild-type ANGPT1 rs2445365 versus 22.07 months for those carrying at least one variant allele-A. These gene variants were able to predict clinical outcome and tumour response in mCRC patients given bevacizumab-based therapy.

Bevacizumab is used to treat metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, there are still no available predictors of clinical outcomes. We investigated selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes involved in VEGF-dependent and -independent angiogenesis pathways and other major intracellular signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of mCRC as an attempt to find predictors of clinical outcome. Forty-six patients treated with first-line bevacizumab-based chemotherapy were included in this study with a 5 year follow up. Genomic DNA was isolated from whole blood for the analysis of VEGF-A (rs2010963, 1570360, rs699947), ICAM-1 (rs5498, rs1799969) SNPs and from tumor tissue for the detection of genomic variants in KRAS, NRAS, BRAF genes. PCR and next generation sequencing were used for the analysis. The endpoints of the study were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The VEGF-A rs699947 A/A allele was associated with increased PFS (p = 0.006) and OS (p = 0.043). The ICAM-1 rs1799969 G/A allele was associated with prolonged OS (p = 0.036). Finally, BRAF wild type was associated with increased OS (p = 0.027). We identified VEGF-A and ICAM-1 variants in angiogenesis and other major intracellular signaling pathways, such as BRAF, that can predict clinical outcome upon bevacizumab administration. These identified biomarkers could be used to select patients with mCRC who may achieve long-term responses and benefit from bevacizumab-based therapies.

634 Background: Males have a higher cancer risk and worse clinical outcome in metastatic colorectal cancer compared to females, which has been related to loss of Y chromosome. In this study, we investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Y chromosome-related genes and their association with clinical outcome in patients from the FIRE-3 study (NCT00433927). Methods: Three SNPs (FOXL2 rs11924939 C>T, DMRT1 rs755383 T>C and DMRT1 rs3739583 A>T) were investigated in genomic DNA isolated from tissue samples of 295 patients (KRAS exon 2 wild-type) from the bevacizumab-arm of the FIRE-3 study. The median age of 195 (66.6%) male and 98 (33.4%) female patients was 65 months (range 27-76). Seventy-four (25.6%) patients had right-sided tumors and 215 (74.4%) had left-sided tumors. Results: The C/C genotype of DMRT1 rs755383 T>C was associated with significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) in univariable (C/C 14.3 months, T/T or T/C 10.0 months, hazard ratio (HR) 0.58; P=0.033) and in multivariable Cox regression analysis adjusted for baseline characteristics (HR 0.63; P=0.026). This difference was confirmed in male patients (C/C 15.9 months, T/T or T/C 10.1 months, HR 0.58; P=0.038 and HR 0.53; P=0.023) and patients with left-sided tumors (C/C 14.6 months, T/T or T/C 10.4 months, univariable HR 0.61; P=0.044 and multivariable HR 0.60; P=0.046). The T/T genotype of FOXL2rs11924939 C>T was associated with longer PFS in patients with right-sided tumors (T/T 13.4 months, C/C or C/T 7.8 months, univariable HR 0.47; P=0.043 and multivariable HR 0.30; P=0.031) and shorter PFS in left-sided tumors (T/T 6.9 months, C/C or C/T 11.3 months, univariable HR 1.83; P=0.017 and multivariable HR 1.99; P=0.009). Conclusions: In this study, we demonstrated for the first time that SNPs in Y chromosome-related genes are associated with outcome in metastatic colorectal cancer in a gender- and location-specific way. These results highlight the value of the SNPs as potential biomarkers.

Abstract Background We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of combination treatment with panitumumab plus trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) in patients with wild-type RAS metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who were refractory/intolerant to standard therapies other than anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy. Methods APOLLON was an open-label, multicentre, phase 1/2 trial. In the phase 1 part, 3 + 3 de-escalation design was used to investigate the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D); all patients in the phase 2 part received the RP2D. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 6 months. Secondary endpoints included PFS, overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), time to treatment failure (TTF), and safety. Results Fifty-six patients were enrolled (phase 1, n = 7; phase 2, n = 49) at 25 Japanese centres. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed in patients receiving panitumumab (6 mg/kg every 2 weeks) plus FTD/TPI (35 mg/m2 twice daily; days 1–5 and 8–12 in a 28-day cycle), which became RP2D. PFS rate at 6 months was 33.3% (90% confidence interval [CI] 22.8–45.3). Median PFS, OS, ORR, DCR, and TTF were 5.8 months (95% CI 4.5–6.5), 14.1 months (95% CI 12.2–19.3), 37.0% (95% CI 24.3–51.3), 81.5% (95% CI 68.6–90.8), and 5.8 months (95% CI 4.29–6.21), respectively. Neutrophil count decreased (47.3%) was the most common Grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse event. No treatment-related deaths occurred. Conclusion Panitumumab plus FTD/TPI exhibited favourable anti-tumour activity with a manageable safety profile and may be a therapeutic option for pre-treated mCRC patients.

Study Results

108 Background: Primary tumor sidedness has emerged as a prognostic and predictive biomarker for patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Tumor bulk has also been postulated to predict response to anti-EGFR therapy. We sought to evaluate the role of tumor bulk as a predictive biomarker to anti-EGFR therapy in pts with left- (LS) and right-sided (RS) mCRC. Methods: Data from 476 pts with mCRC enrolled across 2 first-line trials of anti-EGFR plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy were pooled. Pts were included if there was available information on tumor sidedness and tumor bulk. All were KRAS wild-type and BRAF wild-type or unknown BRAF status. The right colon was defined as the cecum through the transverse colon, and the left colon as the splenic flexure through the rectum. Tumor bulk was the mean tumor size of target lesions at baseline, bulky defined as > 3.5 cm. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox models adjusting for performance status (PS), platelet count, primary tumor (PT) resection, number of metastatic sites, and stratified by study. Results: Pts with bulky tumors (211, 44%) had higher PS, white blood cell and platelet counts, higher CEA, fewer sites of metastatic disease, more liver than lung metastases, and fewer had PT resection. OS and PFS medians in months (mos) are presented in the table with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs). Bulky tumors had inferior median OS compared with non-bulky (mOS, 17.9 vs. 21.3 mos, HRadj 1.33, 95% CI 1.05-1.69, P = 0.016) although median PFS was similar (mPFS, 8.6 vs. 8.7 mos, HRadj 1.15, 95% CI 0.92-1.42, P = 0.21). Conclusions: Tumor bulk is an independent prognostic factor for OS in KRAS wild-type and BRAF wild-type or unknown BRAF status pts. Pts with non-bulky RS tumors have survival outcomes similar to pts with bulky LS tumors. Although the mPFS for pts with RS tumors treated with anti-EGFR therapy was the lowest across subgroups, this finding was not statistically significant. Further research is warranted into whether pts with bulky RS tumors benefit from anti-EGFR therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT00182715, NCT00640081. [Table: see text]

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of cetuximab (CE) versus bevacizumab (BE) maintenance treatment after prior 8-cycle modified 5-fluorouracil, folinate, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) plus CE induction therapy in treatment-naive KRAS and BRAF wild-type (wt) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods From 2012 to 2017, prospectively maintained databases were reviewed to assess Asian postmenopausal women with treatment-naive KRAS and BRAF wt mCRC who underwent modified FOLFOXIRI plus CE induction therapy, followed by CE or BE maintenance until disease progression or death. Co-primary clinical endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results A total of 222 women were included (CE n = 110 and BE n = 112). At a median follow-up of 27.0 months (interquartile range, 6.5–38.6 months), median PFS was 21.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 16.4–24.4) and 17.7 months (95% CI 11.3–19.0) for CE and BE groups, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] 0.31, 95% CI 0.15–0.46); median OS was 26.0 months (95% CI 23.4–28.7) and 22.7 months (95% CI 21.2–24.3) for CE and BE groups, respectively (HR 0.22, 95% CI 0.11–0.37). Conclusions CE maintenance treatment is more poorly tolerated but has a slightly more modest survival benefit compared with BE maintenance treatment in mCRC.

561 Background: Weekly cetuximab and irinotecan is a standard regimen in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC). The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of combination chemotherapy with biweekly cetuximab and irinotecan in patients with pretreated MCRC harboring wild-type KRAS. Methods: Patients with wild- type KRAS MCRC that had progressed after chemotherapy with irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and fluoropyrimidine were included in this study. Cetuximab was administered at 500 mg/m2 biweekly with irinotecan. The primary endpoint was response rate. The secondary endpoints included adverse events, progression-free survival, and overall survival. The pharmacokinetics of cetuximab was also evaluated in five patients. Results: From May, 2009 to February, 2010, a total of 31 patients were enrolled from five institutions. One patient was not eligible. Among the 30 assessable patients, ECOG PS was 0 in 12, 1 in 16, and 2 in two patients. The objective response rate was 30.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.7-49.4), and the disease control rate (complete response, partial response, or stable disease) was 76.7% (95%CI, 61.4-92.3). The median progression-free survival was 5.3 months (95%CI, 3.4-7.3). Grade 3 skin toxicity was observed in 3 patients (10%), and treatment related death due to pneumonia occurred in one patient. Conclusions: The efficacy data are similar to those of standard dose of cetuximab plus irinotecan. Combination chemotherapy with biweekly cetuximab and irinotecan is effective for pretreated metastatic wild-type KRAS MCRC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

800 Background: The ASPECCT study showed panitumumab (Pmab) is non-inferior to cetuximab (Cmab) for chemotherapy-refractory and intolerant wild-type (WT) KRAS exon2 metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). In the subgroup analysis, Pmab provided more favorable outcomes than Cmab for patients (pts) previously treated with bevacizumab (Bmab). However, some reports suggested that anti-EGFR antibody (anti-EGFR) efficacy was reduced when received within 6 months of last administration of Bmab. In this study, we aim to evaluate the difference in efficacy between Pmab and Cmab in pts who received prior Bmab and were treated with anti-EGFR after a short interval. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated pts treated with anti-EGFR and irinotecan (IRI) after failure of Bmab, fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and IRI at two institutions. The main inclusion criteria were WT KRAS exon2 mCRC, ECOG PS 0-2, and no prior administration of anti-EGFR within 6 months after Bmab. Results: From Sep. 2008 to Mar. 2016, 124 consecutive pts met the inclusion criteria (Pmab/Cmab, 30/94). Pts’ characteristics were as follows (Pmab/Cmab): median age (range): 63/62 (38-76/27-82); male, 63%/72%; ECOG PS 0, 43%/27%; PS1, 57%/66%; PS2 0%/7%; tumor in left colon, 87%/76%; histology (por, muc), 10%/16%; ≥2 metastases, 67%/66%; ≥1 subsequent therapy, 73%/63%. Overall response and disease control rates in Pmab/Cmab were 31%/26% and 69%/67%, respectively. In Pmab/Cmab, the median overall survival was 15.8/12.2 months (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.4-0.97; P=0.04) and the median progression-free survival was 6.5/5.5 months (HR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.49-1.16, P=0.20). The adjusted HR with 10 covariates such as age, gender, PS, tumor location, histology, primary tumor resection, number of metastatic sites, liver limited disease, time from diagnosis of metastasis and initiation date of anti-EGFR plus IRI was 0.61 for PFS (p=0.1) and 0.61 for OS (p=0.04). Conclusions: Pmab plus irinotecan showed favorable outcomes compared with Cmab plus irinotecan in pts with WT KRAS exon2 mCRC within 6 months between the last administration of Bmab and initial anti-EGFR.

481 Background: Survival advantage of second line FOLFIRI plus cetuximab in patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer has not been well reported. Since mutations in codons 12 and 13 of the KRAS gene predict lack of response to Cetuximab, mutations of V600E BRAF and PI3CA have been controversial. Methods: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of second-line FOLFIRI plus cetuximab in KRAS wt mCRC. Primary endpoint was response rate, other secondary endpoints were PFS, OS and safety. KRAS, BRAF, PI3CA tests by direct sequence were performed in Yamaguchi University. The starting dose of irinotecan was 150mg/ m2 (approved dose in Japan), but decreased to 100mg/m2 with UGT1A1 *28,*6 homozygous or both heterozygous. Results: From December 2008 to November 2009, 112 pts were preregistered. 67 (59.8%) pts were KRAS codon 12, 13 wt, and 60 pts were enrolled: 39 males (65%), 21 females (35%); median age was 62 years (range 37-82). The incidence of UGT1A1*28, *6 homozygous was 2.8%, 4.7% respectively. Grade 3/4 adverse events were leucopenia 26.7%, neutropenia 43.3%, paronychia 10.0%, skin toxity (fissure) 10.0% and acne 5.0%. The confirmed response rate (RECIST) was 31.7% (19/60). The median progression free survival and overall survival were 7.5 (C.I. 5.2-10.1) and 19.5 (C.I. 11.7-22.2) months respectively. Three pts had BRAF mutations and tumor shirinkage were +50.9%, +12%, +85.6% respectively. Two pts had PI3CA mutations and tumor shirinkage were +4%, +44%, respectively. Conclusions: FLIER was the first multicenter phase II trial with prospective analysis of KRAS as a predictive biomarker for cetuximab in second-line mCRC in Japan. Second-line FOLFIRI+cetuximab is well-tolerated and active. Mutations in BRAF and PI3CA gene seemed to be lack of response to cetuximab.

633 Background: We previously reported that the Fc-gamma receptor (FCGR) germline polymorphism in the FCGR2A gene (rs1801274; His (H) to Arg (R) substitution) but not FCGR3A (rs396991; Phe (F) to Val (V)) was associated with cetuximab benefit on overall survival (OS) in metastatic colorectal cancer patients (CCTG CO.17 trial). We performed a validation of these results in CO.20, a randomized trial of cetuximab+placebo vs. cetuximab+brivanib for metastatic, chemotherapy refractory, wild type K-RAS colorectal cancer. Methods: After genotyping DNA extracted from whole blood, the polymorphism relationships with OS and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed using log-rank tests and hazard ratios (HR) from Cox proportional hazard models, adjusting for known prognostic factors. Results: Of 592/725 (82%) K-RAS wild type patients with available DNA and genotyping, those carrying the higher affinity FCGR2A H/H genotype (N = 165; 28%) had improved OS (HR 0.53; 95%CI:0.41-0.68) and PFS (HR 0.65; 95%CI:0.51-0.83) compared to those carrying the lower affinity R/R genotype (N = 128; 22%), corresponding to median absolute benefits of 3.7 (OS) and 3.3 months (PFS). The H/R genotype (N = 299; 50%) had intermediate outcomes. No significant associations were found between FCGR3A genotype and OS or PFS. No interaction between FCGR polymorphisms and treatment arm was observed. Patients carrying the double wild type combination of FCGR2A H/H and FCGR3A F/F genotypes (N = 45; 7.6%) had significantly better outcomes than other patients, particularly those carrying the rare (N = 11; 2%) R/R+ V/V genotype combination, corresponding to median absolute benefits of 12.5 (OS; HR 0.33 95%CI:0.16-0.68) and 4.5 (PFS; HR 0.45 95%CI:0.22-0.92) months. There were no significant associations between FCGR polymorphisms and either any grade of 3/4 toxicity or skin rash. Conclusions: In KRAS-wild type, cetuximab-treated patients, FCGR2A polymorphism was independently replicated to be associated with clinical outcome without affecting toxicity profiles. Additionally, in this large dataset, FCGR3A appears to modulate the relationship between FCGR2A polymorphism and outcome.
