Trifluridine/tipiracil plus bevacizumab as a first‐line treatment for elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (KSCC1602): A multicenter phase II trial

We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of FTD/TPI plus Bev in elderly patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer. The median PFS was 9.4 months as a primary endpoint, the median OS was 22.4 month, ORR was 40.5% and AEs were manageable. The combination of FTD/TPI plus Bev is an effective and well‐tolerated regimen for elderly patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer.


ABSTRACT

Background

A previous Phase I/II study demonstrated that TAS‐102 (trifluridine/tipiracil [FTD/TPI]) plus bevacizumab (Bev) has encouraging efficacy and controllable safety for patients with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer. Therefore, we designed for assessing the efficacy and safety of FTD/TPI plus Bev in elderly patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer.

Methods

This is a multicenter, single‐arm Phase II study included patients ≥70 years old with previously untreated, unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer. Treatment consisted of FTD/TPI plus Bev given every 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression‐free survival (PFS), assuming a null hypothesis of a PFS of 5 months. The secondary endpoints were the overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), and adverse events (AEs).

Results

Between 5 January 2017 and 13 March 2018, 39 patients were enrolled from 18 institutions. The median patient age was 76.0 years (range, 70–88); the ECOG‐PS was 0 in 24 patients and 1 in 15 patients. The median PFS was 9.4 months as a primary endpoint, and the median OS was 22.4 months. The ORR was 40.5% and the disease control rate was 86.5%. Grade 3–4 AEs included neutropenia (71.8%), leukopenia (51.3%), anorexia (15.4%), febrile neutropenia (10.3%), and fatigue (10.3%).

Conclusions

FTD/TPI plus Bev is an effective and well‐tolerated regimen for elderly patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer. Capecitabine/bevacizumab can be selected as a subsequent maintenance therapy without irinotecan and oxaliplatin because FTD/TPI has no cross‐resistance with 5‐fluorouracil.

Clinical trial registration: UMIN clinical trials registry (UMIN000025241).
