amplification has been implicated in resistance to therapy with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor antibodies (anti-EGFRabs) in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The purpose of the study was to validate the predictive impact of amplification in mCRC.
We analyzed patients with wild-type mCRC across two distinct cohorts. In cohort 1 (n = 98), amplification was tested in tumor tissue using dual in situ hybridization ( amplification: ratio, 2.0 or greater). Cohort 2 (n = 70) included 16 patients with amplification and 54 nonamplified controls identified by next-generation sequencing ( amplification: four or more copies) who had received prior anti-EGFRabs. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) on treatment with anti-EGFRab therapy, which was estimated and compared using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test.
Median PFS in cohort 1 on anti-EGFRab-based therapy was significantly shorter in patients with amplification compared with nonamplified patients (2.8 8.1 months, respectively; hazard ratio [HR], 7.05; 95% CI, 3.4 to 14.9; < .001). These findings were validated in cohort 2 (median PFS for amplified nonamplified: 2.8 9.3 months, respectively; HR, 10.66; 95% CI, 4.5 to 25.1; < .001). The median PFS on therapy without anti-EGFRabs was similar among -amplified and nonamplified patients in both cohort 1 (9.7 11.1 months, respectively; HR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.4 to 2.4; = .97) and cohort 2 (9.6 11.3 months, respectively; HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.5 to 3.1; = .66). In multivariable analyses, amplification emerged as a single independent predictor of poor PFS on anti-EGFRab therapy in both cohort 1 (HR, 6.48; 95% CI, 3.1 to 13.6; < .001) and cohort 2 (HR, 10.1; 95% CI, 4.3 to 23.9; < .001).
amplification in wild-type mCRC seems to be a predictive biomarker for lack of efficacy of anti-EGFRab therapy. Screening patients with wild-type mCRC for amplification should be considered before anti-EGFRab treatment to guide therapy and to identify patients for early referral to clinical trials.
扩增与转移性结直肠癌(mCRC)患者对抗表皮生长因子受体抗体(抗EGFR抗体)治疗的耐药性有关。本研究的目的是验证扩增在mCRC中的预测作用。
我们分析了来自两个不同队列的野生型mCRC患者。在队列1(n = 98)中,使用双重原位杂交技术检测肿瘤组织中的扩增情况(扩增:比率为2.0或更高)。队列2(n = 70)包括16例经下一代测序鉴定为扩增的患者和54例未扩增的对照患者(扩增:四个或更多拷贝),这些患者均接受过抗EGFR抗体治疗。主要终点是接受抗EGFR抗体治疗的无进展生存期(PFS),采用Kaplan-Meier法和对数秩检验进行估计和比较。
在队列1中,接受基于抗EGFR抗体治疗的扩增患者的中位PFS显著短于未扩增患者(分别为2.8个月和8.1个月;风险比[HR],7.05;95%CI,3.4至14.9;P <.001)。这些结果在队列2中得到验证(扩增患者与未扩增患者的中位PFS分别为2.8个月和9.3个月;HR,10.66;95%CI,4.5至25.1;P <.001)。在队列1(分别为9.7个月和11.1个月;HR,1.01;95%CI,0.4至2.4;P =.97)和队列2(分别为9.6个月和11.3个月;HR,1.21;95%CI,0.5至3.1;P =.66)中,未接受抗EGFR抗体治疗的扩增患者和未扩增患者的中位PFS相似。在多变量分析中,扩增在队列1(HR,6.48;95%CI,3.1至13.6;P <.001)和队列2(HR,10.1;95%CI,4.3至23.9;P <.001)中均成为抗EGFR抗体治疗中PFS较差的单一独立预测因素。
野生型mCRC中的扩增似乎是抗EGFR抗体治疗缺乏疗效的预测生物标志物。在抗EGFR抗体治疗前,应考虑对野生型mCRC患者进行扩增筛查,以指导治疗并确定早期转诊至临床试验的患者。
