Anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapies are the most recommended first-line treatment for wild-type unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) according to the European Society for Medical Oncology guidelines. However, primary resistance renders this treatment ineffective for almost 40% of patients. Our previous work identified Aurora kinase A (AURKA) as a key resistance driver through non-canonical, Hippo-independent Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) activation.

Purpose: Wild-type unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) poses challenges for treatment optimization. Effective first-line targeted therapies are crucial for improving outcomes, particularly when combined with second-line oxaliplatin-based chemotherapies. This study examined the effects of first-line cetuximab+FOLFIRI versus bevacizumab+FOLFIRI, followed by second-line oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, on survival among patients with KRAS wild-type mCRC without primary tumor resection (PTR).

Objectives: The randomized GORTEC 2014-01 TPExtreme trial showed no significant improvement in overall survival with TPEx chemotherapy regimen (docetaxel-platinum-cetuximab) versus EXTREME regimen (platinum-fluorouracil-cetuximab) in first line treatment of recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, the TPEx regimen had a favorable safety profile, and could provide an alternative to standard of care with the EXTREME regimen in this setting. Our aim was to assess the cost-utility of the TPEx strategy versus EXTREME strategy in the French setting.

This study investigated the efficacy and safety of first-line cetuximab-based chemotherapy for patients aged 70 years and older with wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) from nationwide registry data in Taiwan. The study included 756 patients with wild-type mCRC who received cetuximab and chemotherapy as first-line therapy at multiple institutions in Taiwan from November 2016 to January 2021. After the prognoses of two age groups (≥ 70 and < 70 years) were determined, progression-free survival (PFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were regarded as the primary endpoints and severe adverse events (SAEs) were also compared.

Background: Metastatic recurrence of colorectal cancer (mCRC) after adjuvant therapy may differ biologically from recurrence in untreated mCRC. We examined first-line treatment outcomes of patients within the phase III CALGB/SWOG 80405 (CALGB 80405) and FIRE-3 trials according to previous exposure to oxaliplatin-based adjuvant treatment.

Methods: Patients from CALGB 80405 primary analysis (N = 1131) and FIRE-3 intent-to-treat population (N = 592) treated with FOLFIRI who previously received either oxaliplatin-based adjuvant therapy or no adjuvant therapy were identified.
