Tobias Arkenau Infusional 5-FU/FA plus Oxaliplatin (FUFOX)vs. Capecitabine plus Oxaliplatin (CAPOX) as first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer: safety and efficacy analysisfrom a phase III trial of the German AIO
Rationale for CAPOX in 1st-line ACRC • Addition of oxaliplatin to i.v. 5-FU/LV (FOLFOX/FUFOX) significantly improves efficacy • Capecitabine provides superior response rates and safety vs. bolus 5-FU/LV • In phase II trials, XELOX/CAPOX showed clear antitumor efficacy and good tolerability
Prospective, randomized, multicenter phase III study of CAPOX vs. FUFOX Metastatic CRC, no prior chemotherapy for metastatic CRC, adjuvant treatment > 6 months, Measurable disease (RECIST), Age >18 years; ECOG PS2 Normal renal, hepatic and hematological parameters Stratification: WBC, Alk. Phos., No. of sites, ECOG PS, Center Randomization (n=476)08/02 – 08/0469 German centers
Patient disposition 476 pts randomized 242 CAPOX 234 FUFOX Median # cycles 6 (1–21) 3-week cycles Median # cycles 4 (1–13) 5-week cycles

Endpoints/statistical design • Primary endpoint: progression-free survival (PFS) • Secondary endpoints: OS, RR, toxicity, TTF, QOL • Statistical design: 440 patients needed to exclude inferiority of 41% vs. 50% PFS rate at 9 months calculating a one-sided 95% CI for the HR (power: 80%) • The study was monitored by an external review committee

Conclusions • Similar safety profile for CAPOX and FUFOX: • significantly higher HFS grade 2/3 with CAPOX • CAPOX shows no inferiority compared to FUFOX within our statistical assumptions: • response rate: 47% vs. 49% • median PFS: 7.0 vs. 8.0 months (p=0.11) • median OS: 16.3 vs. 17.2 months (p=0.72)
