Adjuvant 5-FU/LV demonstrated benefit in older patients compared with surgery alone1 Oral capecitabine is at least equivalent to bolus 5-FU/LV for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) as adjuvant therapy in patients with stage III colon cancer2 Older patients (≥70 years) treated with capecitabine also showed improved outcomes vs. 5-FU/LV (X-ACT)2 Recent data from the MOSAIC trial and ACCENT database demonstrated that newer adjuvant regimens (e.g. oxaliplatin combinations) were not associated with significant efficacy benefits vs. 5-FU/LV in patients ≥65 years compared with younger patients3,4 Background 1.

NO16968 (XELOXA): subgroup analysis Survival outcomes by age – analysis performed to: • Compare with data presented from ACCENT and MOSAIC • Assess treatment effects of XELOX vs. 5-FU/LV in patients by age: • ≥65 (planned) and ≥70 years (unplanned) • Determine if findings from ACCENT meta-analysis also apply to XELOX regimen • Determine relapse-free survival (RFS) overall and according to age

XELOX results in superior DFS compared with bolus 5-FU/LV as adjuvant treatment for patients with stage III colon cancer These findings confirm the benefits previously demonstrated with the addition of oxaliplatin to 5-FU in stage III patients Efficacy benefits are maintained in patients ≥65 and ≥70 years in contrast to results from ACCENT and MOSAIC in which no significant benefit is shown with FOLFOX in this age group: reasons for this apparent difference are unknown OS data thus far indicate a trend toward superior survival with XELOX XELOX is an effective adjuvant therapy and should be considered for all eligible patients, without an arbitrary upper age limit NO16968 (XELOXA): conclusions
