FIRE-3
FIRE-3: phase III H2H trial comparing 1L Avastin + FOLFIRI with cetuximab + FOLFIRI

• Phase III
• Primary endpoint: ORR
• Secondary endpoints: PFS, OS, time to failure of first-line therapy, ‘deepness of response’ (% tumour shrinkage compared to baseline), secondary R0 resection rate, safety
Cetuximab + FOLFIRI Avastin + FOLFIRIITT population (n=592) (n=297) (n=295)
*Fisher’s exact test (one-sided)1. Heinemann, et al. ASCO 2013; 2. Bergsland, et al. ASCO 2013
• The ‘assessable for response’ subgroup includes patients who had at least one additional CT scan to compare with their baseline scan in order to measure response and at least three completed cycles of chemotherapy
• The significant increase in ORR in patients assessable for response should be interpreted with caution as the number of patients excluded was significantly different in each treatment arm (n=42 in cetuximab arm vs n=24 in Avastin arm, p=0.026 [2-sided Fisher’s exact test]); of the 42 patients excluded from the cetuximab arm, 13 patients were excluded due to allergic reaction, 28 for ‘other reasons’ and one for early death2
ORR in the assessable for response subgroup was not defined as the primary endpoint; the study was designed and powered to show superiority of cetuximab over Avastin in the ITT population

CAIRO3: maintenance Avastin + capecitabine versus observation
Koopman, et al. ASCO 2013
• Phase III trial
• Primary endpoint: PFS after re-introduction = PFS2
• New EPOC is an extension to the EPOC study, which randomised patients to surgery alone versus surgery + chemotherapy
Following IDMC recommendation, new EPOC was terminated early when the study met a protocol predefined futility analysis (after 123 of the required 212 expected events had occurred, with 272 patients)

(n=518 in QoL analysis)
*Use of FOLFOX or FOLFIRI was at the physician’s discretionNaughton, et al. ASCO 2013
• Phase III
• Primary endpoint: QoL at 3 months
• QoL was assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, and 3, 6 and 9 months post-randomisation, using the EORTC QLQ-30 and the Dermatology- Specific Quality of Life (DSQL) scales
• As the QoL analysis enrolled the first 518 patients randomised to CALGB 80405, the majority were enrolled prior to a protocol amendment eliminating the dual biologic arm and restricting participation to patients with KRAS WT tumours

R
• Primary endpoint: PFS
• Secondary endpoints: OS, ORR, resection rate, safety, treatment effect in WT RAS tumours and WT RAS/BRAF tumours
• Patients with disease WT for KRAS exon 2 may have mutations in KRAS exons 3 or 4 or NRAS exons 2, 3 or 4. This retrospective analysis compared outcomes in these patients vs patients with disease WT in KRAS and NRAS (exons 2, 3 and 4) [no activating mutations]
• ‘Gold standard’ bidirectional Sanger sequencing and WAVE-based SURVEYOR scan kits were used to detect mutations in KRAS exon 3, exon 4; NRAS exon 2, exon 3, exon 4; and BRAF exon 15
• An additional analysis was performed ~1 year after the last patient was enrolled: primary analysis data cutoff was 30 May 2012; additional OS analysis data cutoff was 3 January 2013
PEAK: phase II retrospective analysis of efficacy by KRAS/NRAS mutation status
Schwartzberg , et al. ASCO 2013
PEAK: RAS mutations outside KRAS exon 2 and in NRAS are associated with resistance to EGFR inhibition
• The safety profile in both treatment arms was similar to previously reported studies and treatment discontinuation rates due to adverse events were similar between treatment arms
• Biomarker subpopulations showed similar adverse event rates compared with the primary analysis population

• Phase III
• Primary endpoint: PFS
• Secondary endpoints: OS, ORR, TTP, DOR, safety
• Sponsor: Amgen
• PRIME was amended prior to efficacy analysis and completion of enrolment to focus on hypothesis testing in the KRAS WT subset: the primary objective was to evaluate treatment effect on PFS and OS in pts WT for RAS (WT for KRAS and NRAS exons 2, 3 and 4) or WT for RAS and BRAF (WT for KRAS and NRAS exons 2, 3 and 4 and BRAF exon 15)
• Interaction texts were conducted to compare panitumumab treatment effect between WT RAS and MT RAS or WT RAS and WT KRAS exon 2/MT other RAS to assess the predictive value for RAS
• A new testing method was used (‘gold standard’ bidirectional Sanger sequencing and WAVE-based SURVEYOR scan kits) to detect mutations in KRAS exon 3, exon 4; NRAS exon 2, exon 3, exon 4; and BRAF exon 15

Oliner, et al. ASCO 2013
PRIME: panitumumab + FOLFOX4 has a detrimental effect in patients with RAS MT mCRC
• The addition of panitumumab to FOLFOX4 produced– significantly increased PFS and OS in patients with RAS WT mCRC– significantly detrimental effect on PFS and OS in patients with RAS MT mCRC
