Abstract No : Abstract #2993
Indication : Colorectal Cancer
Intervention : Cetuximab + Avelumab
Company : Merck & Co.
Technology : Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI)
Results:
From August 10, 2018 to February 21, 2020, 77 pts have been enrolled and started treatment with avelumab 10 mg/kg q14 and cetuximab at 400 mg/m2 and subsequently 250 mg/m2 weekly until progression of disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity. Kaplan-Meier curves estimated for the whole intention-to-treat (ITT) population (77 pts): mOS was 13.1 mo (95% Confidence Interval CI, 7.4-18.8 mo; 32 events); mPFS, 3.6 mo (95% CI, 3.3-3.9 mo; 62 events). Among 65 pts evaluable for response, 1 pt (1.5%) experienced CR, 3 pts (4.6%) PR, 32 pts stable disease (SD) (49.2%); 29 pts PD (44.6%). Pts with PFS≥ 6 mo were 12/65 (18.5%). Grade-3 adverse events were reported in 16/77 pts (22%), the most common being skin rash 10/77 (13%) and diarrhoea 3/77 (4%).
Conclusion:
At this preliminary analysis, avelumab plus cetuximab as a rechallenge strategy is effective and well tolerated in chemorefractory RAS/BRAF WT mCRC pts.
