KRAS analysis: Objective Objective A retrospective analysis investigated the impact on progression-free survival and response rate of the KRAS mutation status of tumors in the first-line treatment of metastatic CRC treated with FOLFIRI ± cetuximab
Relating KRAS status to efficacy • Efficacy analyses repeated on KRAS evaluable population • Genomic DNA isolated from archived tumor material • Paraffin-embedded, formalin-fixed tissue • KRAS mutation status of codons 12/13 determined using quantitative PCR-based assay

CRYSTAL trial: Conclusions (1) • Adding cetuximab to FOLFIRI in mCRC leads to a significant increase in PFS (HR=0.85; p=0.048) • The benefit of cetuximab + FOLFIRI is greater in patients with KRAS wild-type tumors: • PFS (HR=0.68; p=0.017) • Response rate 59% vs. 43% (p=0.0025) • Patients with KRAS mutant tumors do not benefit from the combination of cetuximab and FOLFIRI • The grade 3/4 adverse event profile was similar in the KRAS wild-type and mutant populations
CRYSTAL trial: Conclusions (2) • KRAS is the first molecular marker for the selection of a targeted therapy in combination with a standard chemotherapy regimen in first-line mCRC • Patients with KRAS wild-type tumors have a strong benefit from the combination of cetuximab and FOLFIRI • Cetuximab in combination with a standard first-line treatment for mCRC patients is an important new option in patients with KRAS wild-type tumors
