The single-arm phase II CAVE mCRC trial evaluated the combination of cetuximab plus avelumab as rechallenge strategy in wild-type (WT) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients, with clinical response to first-line anti-EGFR-based chemotherapy, who progressed and received a subsequent line of therapy. The correlation of skin toxicity (ST) and different clinico-molecular variables with overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and response rate (RR) was assessed at univariate and multivariate analysis. A total of 33/77 (42.9%) patients experienced grade 2-3 ST and displayed median OS (mOS) of 17.8 months (CI 95%, 14.9-20.6); whereas 44/77 (57.1%) patients with grade 0-1 ST exhibited mOS of 8.2 months (CI 95%, 5.5-10.9), (hazard ratio (HR), 0.51; CI 95%, 0.29-0.89; = 0.019). Median PFS (mPFS) was 4.6 months (CI 95%, 3.4-5.7) in patients with grade 2-3 ST, compared to patients with grade 0-1 ST with mPFS of 3.4 months (CI 95%, 2.7-4.1; HR, 0.49; CI 95%, 0.3-0.8; = 0.004). Grade 2-3 ST (HR, 0.51; CI 95%, 0.29-0.89; = 0.019) and WT circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) (HR, 0.50; CI 95%, 0.27-0.9; = 0.019) had a statistically significant effect on OS at univariate analysis. At the multivariate analysis, WT ctDNA status maintained statistical significance (HR, 0.49; CI 95%, 0.27-0.9; = 0.023), whereas there was a trend towards ST grade 2-3 (HR, 0.54; CI 95%, 0.29-1.01; = 0.054). Skin toxicity is a promising biomarker to identify patients with mCRC that could benefit of anti-EGFR rechallenge.
单臂II期CAVE mCRC试验评估了西妥昔单抗联合阿维鲁单抗作为再挑战策略,用于一线抗表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)化疗有临床反应、病情进展并接受后续治疗的野生型(WT)转移性结直肠癌(mCRC)患者。在单变量和多变量分析中评估了皮肤毒性(ST)以及不同临床分子变量与总生存期(OS)、无进展生存期(PFS)和缓解率(RR)之间的相关性。共有33/77(42.9%)例患者发生2-3级ST,其总生存期(mOS)中位数为17.8个月(95%置信区间,14.9-20.6);而44/77(57.1%)例0-1级ST患者的mOS为8.2个月(95%置信区间,5.5-10.9),(风险比(HR)为0.51;95%置信区间,0.29-0.89;P=0.019)。2-3级ST患者的无进展生存期(mPFS)中位数为4.6个月(95%置信区间,3.4-5.7),而0-1级ST患者的mPFS为3.4个月(95%置信区间,2.7-4.1;HR为0.49;95%置信区间,0.3-0.8;P=0.004)。单变量分析中,2-3级ST(HR为0.51;95%置信区间,0.29-0.89;P=0.019)和WT循环肿瘤DNA(ctDNA)(HR为0.50;95%置信区间,0.27-0.9;P=0.019)对OS有统计学显著影响。多变量分析中,WT ctDNA状态保持统计学显著性(HR为0.49;95%置信区间,0.27-0.9;P=0.023),而2-3级ST有一定趋势(HR为0.54;95%置信区间,0.29-1.01;P=0.054)。皮肤毒性是一种有前景的生物标志物,可用于识别可能从抗EGFR再挑战中获益的mCRC患者。
