608 Background: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) management has been improved by targeted therapies. The evaluation of the use of panitumumab (PANI), after approval, in the real life is strategic to assess health politics. OMIT Bretagne - Pays de Loire is a network of private and public cancer centers. Methods: Data from patients treated with PANI in mCRC were collected. Previously published data are recited. Sex, age, primary tumor, Kras status, line of treatment, toxicity, reason of discontinuation, response, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) have been studied. Results: Data of 322 patients treated between second half of 2008 and end of 2010 have been collected. PANI was used alone (85.5%) or with chemotherapy (14.5%) : mainly FOLFIRI, IRINOTECAN or FOLFOX). KRAS status was wild-type (WT 96.5%), mutated (0.5%), undetermined (2.5%) or not searched (0.5%). Only KRAS WT patients treated with monotherapy of PANI at 6 mg/kg every 2 weeks were analysed (n=263). Sexe : 177 men and 86 women. Median age : 67 years [36-90] (Van Custem JCO 2007: 62 years [27-83]). Primary tumor of patients was : colon (75%), rectum (22%) and others (3%). They received PANI mostly at line 2 (25%), 3 (46%) or 4 (19%). Discontinuation of treatment was mostly due to disease progression : 64%, death: 15% and toxicities : 7% (skin toxicities 3.7%). Clinical response was evaluated for the first 84 patients: partial response (PR): 30%, stable disease (SD): 14% and progression (P): 56%. In KRAS WT patients treated by PANI, Amado described 17% of PR, 34% of SD and 49% of P (Amado JCO 2008). Median duration of treatment was 69 days [0;360] (n=249). Median duration between end of treatment and death when death is the cause of end of treatment was 13 days [0;54] (n=35). Median of OS was 137 days [0;816] (n=143) which is lower than previously described (Van Cutsem JCO 2007 : 192 days regardless of KRAS status ; Amado JCO 2008 : 243 days in KRAS WT). Conclusions: The OMIT analysis of patients treated by PANI in Bretagne/Pays de Loire for a mCRC allows to assess the good use, according to its label, in the real life. Complete results about clinical response, PFS (cut-off 01/12/2011), OS and safety as well as previously published data will be shown at the meeting.
e14148 Background: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) management has been improved by targeted therapies. The evaluation of the use of panitumumab (PANI), after approval, in the real life is strategic to assess health politics. Clinical trials concern usually patients younger and with better health status. Little is known about elderly people (over 70 years old). The observatory of Cancer Bretagne - Pays de Loire is a network of private and public cancer centers. Methods: Patients with wild-type KRAS, EGFR-expressing, mCRC progressing after fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-containing chemotherapy , received PANI,6 mg/kg biweekly. Sex, age, primary tumor, line of treatment, toxicity, reason of discontinuation, response, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were collected. Results: 269 patients (183 men and 86 women) treated between second half of 2008 and end of 2010 have been included. Median age: 67 years [36-90] (Amado et al, 2008 : 62.5 years [29-82]). Primary tumor was : colon (74%), rectum (24%) and double site (2%). PANI was used mostly at line 2 (19%), 3 (31%) or 4 (29%). Discontinuation of treatment was due to disease progression: 53%, death: 12% and toxicities: 5% (skin toxicities 3.5%). Clinical response was evaluated for the first 201 patients: partial response (PR): 20%, stable disease (SD): 19% and progression (P): 60% (Amado et al, 2008 PR : 17%, SD : 34%, P : 49%). Median duration of treatment was 2.3 months [0.26-17.52]. Median of OS was 6.71 months which is lower than previously described (Amado : 8.1 months). Median duration between end of treatment and death when death is the cause of end of treatment was 17 days [4-57] (n=24). From our data of 269 patients, a comparison between 123 patients over 70 and 146 patients under 69 will be shown at the meeting. Conclusions: Analysis of patients treated with PANI for a mCRC allows assessing the proper, per label use, in the real life. Complete results on clinical response, PFS, OS and safety as well as previously published data will be shown at the meeting.
BackgroundIn 2006, bevacizumab, a targeted therapy agent was combined with FOLFIRI for the firstline treatment of patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer.Methods/ResultsA study on a homogenous series of 111 patients from the Brittany and Pays de la Loire areas who received bevacizumab-FOLFIRI as first-line treatment in 2006 showed the following results: 51 responses, 29 stabilisations, 21 progressions and 10 cases of toxicity prior to assessment. Median overall survival (OS) was 25.1 months and median progression-free survival was 10.2 months. Surgery secondary to treatment tripled median OS which reached 59.2 months in resected patients versus 18.8 months in unresected patients. Comparison of patients aged more or less than 70 years showed no differences in terms of benefits or risks.ConclusionBevacizumab-FOLFIRI could be administered as part of a routine care protocol to elderly patients previously evaluated by a geriatric assessment and validated by a multidisciplinary staff.
