FOLFIRI plus panitumumab in the treatment of wild-type KRAS and wild-type NRAS metastatic colorectal cancer

Abstract

Background

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of first-line panitumumab plus folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) in patients with wild-type KRAS and wild-type NRAS metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

Methods

Patients with wild-type KRAS and wild-type NRAS mCRC presenting to the medical oncology department of the Okmeydani Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, between April 2014 and January 2018 were enrolled in this study.

Results

A total of 64 patients (35 males and 29 females) with a median age of 59 (35–81) years old were enrolled. The median follow-up was 18.9 months, and the median progression-free survival was 13 months. The median overall survival (OS) was 26 months in the patients with wild-type KRAS and wild-type NRAS mCRC. It was 90.4% for the 6-month OS, 79.5% for the 1-year OS, 53.7% for the 2-year OS and 31.1% for the 3-year OS. The median OS of the patients who underwent metastasectomies was 40 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 19.9–60.1] months, and the median OS of the patients without metastasectomies was 22 (95% CI = 17.7–26.4) months. There was a statistically significant difference between these (P = 0.007).

Conclusion

The first-line FOLFIRI plus panitumumab was associated with favourable efficacy in the patients with wild-type KRAS and wild-type NRAS mCRC, and it was well tolerated. The removal of the metastases that became resectable after chemotherapy further prolonged the patients' survival.
