In a previous phase 3 trial, treatment with trifluridine-tipiracil (FTD-TPI) prolonged overall survival among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Preliminary data from single-group and randomized phase 2 trials suggest that treatment with FTD-TPI in addition to bevacizumab has the potential to extend survival.
We randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, adult patients who had received no more than two previous chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer to receive FTD-TPI plus bevacizumab (combination group) or FTD-TPI alone (FTD-TPI group). The primary end point was overall survival. Secondary end points were progression-free survival and safety, including the time to worsening of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance-status score from 0 or 1 to 2 or more (on a scale from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater disability).
A total of 246 patients were assigned to each group. The median overall survival was 10.8 months in the combination group and 7.5 months in the FTD-TPI group (hazard ratio for death, 0.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.49 to 0.77; P<0.001). The median progression-free survival was 5.6 months in the combination group and 2.4 months in the FTD-TPI group (hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.54; P<0.001). The most common adverse events in both groups were neutropenia, nausea, and anemia. No treatment-related deaths were reported. The median time to worsening of the ECOG performance-status score from 0 or 1 to 2 or more was 9.3 months in the combination group and 6.3 months in the FTD-TPI group (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.43 to 0.67).
Among patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer, treatment with FTD-TPI plus bevacizumab resulted in longer overall survival than FTD-TPI alone. (Funded by Servier and Taiho Oncology; SUNLIGHT ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04737187; EudraCT number, 2020-001976-14.).
在之前的一项 3 期临床试验中,接受曲氟尿苷替匹嘧啶(FTD-TPI)治疗的转移性结直肠癌患者的总生存期延长。来自单组和随机 2 期试验的初步数据表明,在贝伐珠单抗的基础上加用 FTD-TPI 有可能延长生存期。
我们按 1:1 的比例随机分配既往接受不超过 2 种化疗方案治疗晚期结直肠癌的成年患者,分别接受 FTD-TPI 联合贝伐珠单抗(联合组)或 FTD-TPI 单药(FTD-TPI 组)治疗。主要终点是总生存期。次要终点是无进展生存期和安全性,包括从 ECOG 体力状态评分 0 或 1 恶化至 2 或更高(评分范围为 0 至 5,得分越高表示残疾程度越大)的时间。
共有 246 例患者被分配至每组。联合组的中位总生存期为 10.8 个月,FTD-TPI 组为 7.5 个月(死亡风险比,0.61;95%置信区间[CI],0.49 至 0.77;P<0.001)。联合组的中位无进展生存期为 5.6 个月,FTD-TPI 组为 2.4 个月(疾病进展或死亡的风险比,0.44;95%CI,0.36 至 0.54;P<0.001)。两组最常见的不良反应均为中性粒细胞减少症、恶心和贫血。均未报告与治疗相关的死亡。联合组 ECOG 体力状态评分从 0 或 1 恶化至 2 或更高的中位时间为 9.3 个月,FTD-TPI 组为 6.3 个月(风险比,0.54;95%CI,0.43 至 0.67)。
在难治性转移性结直肠癌患者中,FTD-TPI 联合贝伐珠单抗治疗的总生存期长于 FTD-TPI 单药治疗。(由 Servier 和 Taiho Oncology 资助;SUNLIGHT ClinicalTrials.gov 编号,NCT04737187;EudraCT 编号,2020-001976-14。)
