The effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor pretreatment on clinical outcomes of trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) plus bevacizumab (BEV) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate this effect.
Patients with mCRC treated with FTD/TPI plus BEV were retrospectively enrolled. Disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs) were compared. In total, 73, 50, and 33 patients were treated with fluorouracil+levofolinate calcium+irinotecan (FOLFIRI) plus BEV, ramucirumab, and aflibercept, respectively.
The DCR and median PFS/OS did not significantly differ among the groups (DCR: 54.8% vs. 56.0% vs. 42.4%, P = 0.43; PFS: 3.9 vs. 4.6 vs. 3.7 months, P = 0.45; OS: 12.0 vs. 9.5 vs. 11.9 months, P = 0.28). The most common grade 3-4 AE was neutropenia. The incidence of grade 3-4 AEs did not significantly differ among the groups. The frequency of grade ≥2 proteinuria during FTD/TPI plus BEV treatment was significantly higher in patients with grade ≥2 proteinuria before FOLFIRI plus VEGF inhibitor use than in those without proteinuria. Multivariate analysis revealed poor performance status (ECOG PS) and liver metastasis as independent predictors of short PFS/OS (ECOG PS, PFS: P = 0.021, OS: P < 0.001; liver metastasis, PFS: P = 0.03, OS: P < 0.001) and grade 3-4 neutropenia in a month as a predictor of long PFS/OS (PFS: P = 0.047, OS: P = 0.03).
Different pretreatment VEGF inhibitors did not affect the efficacy and safety of FTD/TPI plus BEV.
血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)抑制剂预处理对转移性结直肠癌(mCRC)患者使用曲氟尿苷/替匹嘧啶(FTD/TPI)联合贝伐单抗(BEV)的临床疗效的影响尚不清楚。我们旨在研究这种影响。
回顾性纳入接受FTD/TPI联合BEV治疗的mCRC患者。比较疾病控制率(DCR)、无进展生存期(PFS)、总生存期(OS)和不良事件(AE)。分别有73、50和33例患者接受氟尿嘧啶+亚叶酸钙+伊立替康(FOLFIRI)联合BEV、雷莫西尤单抗和阿柏西普治疗。
各组间DCR和中位PFS/OS无显著差异(DCR:54.8%对56.0%对42.4%,P = 0.43;PFS:3.9对4.6对3.7个月,P = 0.45;OS:12.0对9.5对11.9个月,P = 0.28)。最常见的3-4级AE是中性粒细胞减少。3-4级AE的发生率在各组间无显著差异。FOLFIRI联合VEGF抑制剂治疗前有≥2级蛋白尿的患者在FTD/TPI联合BEV治疗期间≥2级蛋白尿的发生率显著高于无蛋白尿的患者。多因素分析显示,体能状态差(ECOG PS)和肝转移是PFS/OS短的独立预测因素(ECOG PS,PFS:P = 0.021,OS:P < 0.001;肝转移,PFS:P = 0.03,OS:P < 0.001),而1个月内发生3-4级中性粒细胞减少是PFS/OS长的预测因素(PFS:P = 0.047,OS:P = 0.03)。
不同的预处理VEGF抑制剂不影响FTD/TPI联合BEV的疗效和安全性。
