Abstract:

Background: Analysis of a phase III pmab monotherapy study indicated that KRAS and NRAS mutations beyond KRAS exon 2 may be predictive of pmab efficacy (Peeters et al, 2013). Methods: The primary objective of this prospectively defined retrospective analysis of PRIME was to assess the effect of pmab + FOLFOX vs FOLFOX on overall survival (OS) in pts with mCRC based on RAS (KRAS or NRAS) or BRAF mutation status. "Gold standard" bidirectional Sanger sequencing and WAVE-based SURVEYOR Scan Kits from Transgenomic (conducted independently) were used to detect mutations in KRAS exon 3, exon 4; NRAS exon 2, exon 3, exon 4; and BRAF exon 15. Results: RAS ascertainment rate was 90%. Tx HRs for pts with WT RAS were 0.78 (95% CI, 0.62 - 0.99; p = 0.04) for OS (median gain of 5.8 months in the pmab arm) and 0.72 (95% CI, 0.58 - 0.90; p = < 0.01) for PFS. Tx HRs for WT KRAS exon 2/mutant (MT) other RAS were 1.29 (95% CI, 0.79 - 2.10; p = 0.31) for OS and 1.28 (95% CI, 0.79 - 2.07; p = 0.32) for PFS. Tx HRs for pts with WT or MT BRAF were inconsistent with a predictive biomarker (Table). Prognostic effects of the tested biomarkers will be presented. Conclusions: A statistically significant OS benefit was observed in pts with WT RAS mCRC treated with pmab + FOLFOX vs FOLFOX. Pmab is unlikely to benefit pts with any RAS mutations. In this analysis, BRAF mutation had no predictive value. Clinical trial information: NCT00364013.
