Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (XELOX) as adjuvant therapy forstage III colon cancer:Final results of NO16968 H-J. Schmoll, J. Tabernero, J. Maroun, F. de Braud T. Price, E. Van Cutsem, M. Hill, S. HoerschK. Rittweger, D. Haller
Background • Oxaliplatin in combination with a fluoropyrimidine is the accepted standard adjuvant regimen for patients with stage III colon cancer following curative resection1,2 • This recommendation is based on the DFS findings of three large randomized controlled trials – MOSAIC,3 NSABP C-07,4 and NO169685 • All three trials showed that adding oxaliplatin to a fluoropyrimidine significantly prolongs DFS compared with 5-FU/LV in patients with stage III colon cancer3–5 1.

Background • Mature survival data are now available for all three trials • In MOSAIC, a significant improvement in OS was observed with FOLFOX4 vs infusional 5-FU/LV in patients with stage III disease (median follow-up of 6.8 years)1 • In NSABP C-07, the difference in OS between FLOX and bolus 5-FU/LV did not reach statistical significance after a median follow-up of 8 years in patients with stage II/III disease2 1.

NO16968: Final OS analysis • NO16968 compared capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (XELOX) with bolus 5-FU/LV in patients with stage III colon cancer • We present here the pre-specified final analysis from this trial, which was performed after a median follow-up of 7 years

NO16968: Conclusions • XELOX improves DFS versus bolus 5-FU/LV in patients with stage III colon cancer • DFS benefits observed with XELOX translate into a significant OS gain after a median follow-up of 7 years • Benefit is less in patients ≥70 years than in younger patients • Translational research programme underway • XELOX should be considered a standard adjuvant treatment option in patients with stage III colon cancer
