Challenging Cases in Cancer:Integration of Findings from ASCO 2007Colorectal Cancer Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Axel Grothey, MD Senior Associate Consultant Division of Medical Oncology Mayo Clinic College of Medicine Rochester, MN
Case 3: First-line Colorectal Cancer • Patient was treated with adjuvant 5-FU/LV after R hemicolectomy for T3N1M0 stage III colon cancer • Two years later he relapses with rising CEA and 2 lung metastases plus 3 liver metastases • He is treated with modified FOLFOX6 plus bevacizumab for 12-cycles (six months) but develops grade 3 neuropathy • CT scan shows all lesions more than 50% smaller
Case 3: First-line Colorectal Cancer • Which treatment option would you recommend? • Continue therapy (unchanged) • Hold all treatment until tumor progression • Stop oxaliplatin and continue therapy with 5-FU/LV and bevacizumab • Stop oxaliplatin and continue therapy with bevacizumab alone • Switch therapy to an irinotecan-based regimen
Case 3: First-line Colorectal Cancer • Which treatment option would you recommend? • Continue therapy (unchanged) • Hold all treatment until tumor progression • Stop oxaliplatin and continue therapy with 5-FU/LV and bevacizumab • Stop oxaliplatin and continue therapy with bevacizumab alone • Switch therapy to an irinotecan-based regimen • Recommended approach • Stop oxaliplatin and continue therapy with 5-FU/LV and bevacizumab
Pertinent Issues for Case 3 • Metachronous metastases after 2-years to lung and liver • Should always consider resectability even with extrahepatic disease • In this case situation it was deemed unresectable • Good response to chemotherapy with FOLFOX + BEV, but grade 3 neurotoxicity after 12-cycles • Should patient have a “chemo-holiday”?
Definition of “Chemo-Holiday” • Stop of: • All medical therapy (chemo/biologics), no “maintenance” (OPTIMOX2) • Certain components of medical therapy, continuation of “chemo-light” (+/- biologics) (OPTIMOX1, CONcePT) • Conventional chemotherapeutics, continuation of biologics (DREAM)
Definition of “Chemo-Holiday” • Stop can occur: • After pre-defined number of cycles • When “best response” is achieved • When long-lasting SD has been documented • When toxicity threshold is reached • Restart/re-intensify therapy: • After pre-defined interval (OPTIMOX1, CONcePT) • When “relevant” tumor progression noted (OPTIMOX2)

Take-home Messages OPTIMOX2 • A strategy with complete chemotherapy-free intervals (CFI) leads to inferior outcome compared to an induction-maintenance-reintroduction approach • If PFS is the primary endpoint of your trial, do not stop treatment before progression (see NO16966) • DDC is NOT an appropriate endpoint in CRC In advanced CRC, the default treatment strategy should be “treatment to progression”
Recommendation for Case 3 • In palliative situation, goal of therapy is to extend duration and maintain the quality of life as long as possible • Do not “waste” potentially active agents unnecessarily (no irinotecan here!) • Maintenance therapy should be default position • Infusional 5-FU/LV + BEV or capecitabine + BEV should be considered • No role so far for BEV single agent as maintenance therapy
Case 4: First-line Colorectal Cancer • 52-year-old healthy restaurant owner presents with increasing pain on bowel movement and complains of several weeks of diarrhea and weight loss of 10 pounds • Finally cannot move bowels and begins to vomit • CT scan shows 12 cm mass in the LLQ with multiple liver nodules and an elevated CEA level of 60 ng/mL • GI evaluation with colonoscopy shows a nearly obstructing sigmoid mass – cannot pass scope – biopsy shows adenocarcinoma
Case 4: First-line Colorectal Cancer • Undergoes sigmoid colon resection with primary anastomosis and a wedge biopsy of the left lobe of the liver • Pathology reveals a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon metastatic to lymph nodes and liver • Now referred for consideration of chemotherapy
Case 4: First-line Colorectal Cancer • Which chemotherapy would you recommend? • 5-FU/LV or capecitabine • FOLFOX • CAPOX (XELOX) • FOLFIRI • IROX • FOLFOXIRI
Case 4: First-line Colorectal Cancer • Which targeted agent would you add? • None • Bevacizumab • Cetuximab • Panitumumab • Bevacizumab + cetuximab • Bevacizumab + panitumumab
Case 4: First-line Colorectal Cancer • Which targeted agent would you add? • None • Bevacizumab • Cetuximab • Panitumumab • Bevacizumab + cetuximab • Bevacizumab + panitumumab • Recommended approach • FOLFOX + bevacizumab or FOLFIRI + bevacizumab
Pertinent Issues for Case 4 • Palliative situation with unresectable, scattered liver metastases • Symptomatic primary (obstruction) → resection of primary warranted • What is optimal chemotherapy? • And should a biologic be added upfront?

Why Did BEV Not Increase PFS When Added to FOLFOX in NO16966? • No synergistic/additive effect with FOLFOX? • No, see E3200 (second-line) • Ceiling effect of first-line chemotherapy? • Perhaps… • Failure to OPTIMOXize? • Very likely!
