The VELOUR and VITAL studies recently demonstrated ziv-aflibercept improved overall survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), including those previously treated with bevacizumab, but did not improve overall survival in non-small-cell lung cancer. Thus, VEGF-directed agents might be useful throughout the continuum of care in mCRC, but biomarkers are needed to identify patients likely to benefit.
VELOUR 和 VITAL 研究最近表明,ziv-aflibercept 改善了转移性结直肠癌(mCRC)患者的总生存期,包括那些先前接受贝伐珠单抗治疗的患者,但在非小细胞肺癌中并未改善总生存期。因此,VEGF 靶向药物在 mCRC 的整个治疗过程中可能有用,但需要生物标志物来识别可能受益的患者。
