Phase III FIRE-4 study (AIO KRK-0114): Influence of baseline liquid biopsy results in first-line treatment efficacy of FOLFIRI/cetuximab in patients with tissue RAS-WT mCRC.
Abstract:3507 Background: FIRE-4 (AIO KRK-0114) is performed in RAS wild-type (wt) mCRC patients. This randomized study tests the efficacy of early switch maintenance during 1st-line therapy (part 1) and re-challenge with cetuximab (part 2) in later-line treatment. In part 1, arm A patients continued FOLFIRI/Cet until progression or intolerable toxicity. In arm B, patients received FOLFIRI/Cet for 8-12 cycles, after which maintenance therapy with 5-FU/FA plus bevacizumab (5-FU/Bev) was applied. The first randomization… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
