DISCLOSURES • AdvisoryRole, Honoraria, Researchfunding: • Amgen • Merck Serono • Roche
Background • Doublets plus bev are a standard of care in the first-line treatment of mCRC • Hurwitz et al. NEJM ‘04, Saltz et al. JCO ‘08 • FOLFOXIRI tripletdemonstratedsuperior RR, PFS and OS comparedto LV5FU2+CPT11 doublet in apreviousphase III trial by the GONO group • Falcone et al. JCO ‘07 • FOLFOXIRI plus bevachievedpromisingresults (median PFS 13.1 mos, RR 77%), with a safetoxicityprofile in a phaseII study (N=57) • Masi et al. Lancet Oncol ‘11
Objective To confirm the superiority in the 1st- line treatment of unresectablemCRC of FOLFOXIRI tripletcompared to FOLFIRI doublet alsowhenbevacizumabisassociated to chemotherapy

End-points / Statistics • Primary end-point • Progression free survival • to detect a HR for PFS of 0.75 in favour of FOLFOXIRI + bev • witha 2-sided type 1 error= 0.05; • power= 80% • 379 events required (approx. 450-500 patients to be rand.) • Secondary end-points • Response Rate • Secondary R0-resection rate • Overall survival • Safety profile • Biomarkers evaluation
KeyEligibilityCriteria • Histologically proven adenocarcinoma • Unresectable (locally assessed) mCRCnotpre-treated for mets • Measurablediseaseaccording to RECIST 1.0 • Age 18-75 • ECOG PS ≤ 2 (ECOG PS = 0 ifage = 71-75 years) • Adjuvantoxa-containingchemotherapyallowedif more than 12 monthselapsedbetween the end of adjuvant and first relapse • Adequate bone marrow, liver and renalfunctions

OverallSurvival: estimatedpower for the analysis • Based on the presentnumber of events (deaths= 286), accrualduration (34 mos) and median follow-up (32 mos) • Assuming an expectedmedian OS for FOLFIRI+Bev of 24 mos • With a 2-sided type I error= 0.05 the powerof the analysis to demonstrate a significantreduction in the risk of deathin the range of 20-25% isapproximately35-55%
Secondaryendpoint: OS (preliminary) – ITT population FOLFIRI + bev FOLFOXIRI + bev Medianfollow up: 32.3 mos FOLFIRI + bev: N = 256 / Died = 155 FOLFOXIRI + bev: N = 252 / Died= 131 FOLFIRI + bev, medianOS : 25.8 mos FOLFOXIRI + bev, medianOS : 31.0 mos Unstratified HR: 0.83 [0.66-1.05] p=0.125 Stratified HR: 0.79 [0.63-1.00] p=0.054 Overallsurvivalprobability F-up time (months)
Summary FOLFOXIRI plus bevcompared to FOLFIRI plus bev: • significantlyreduced the risk of progression (HR=0.77, p=0.006) • (with a significantinteraction with the priorexposure to adjuvant CT) • significantlyincreasedresponse rate (65% vs 53%, p=0.006), butnot R0 resection rate (15% vs 12%, p=0.327) in thisunselectedpopulation for conversion(see OLIVIA studyabst. #3619) • significantlyincreasedthe incidence of grade 3-4 neurotoxicity, diarrhea, stomatitis and neutropenia, butnot of febrile neutropenia, seriousAEs and treatment relateddeaths • may reduce the risk of death, but OS data are still immature
Conclusions • The trial achieveditsprimaryobjective of confirmingthe superiority of FOLFOXIRI vs FOLFIRI in terms of PFS, also in combination with bev • FOLFOXIRI moderatelyincreasesspecific side effects, but the overallsafetyprofileremainsacceptable • Based on theseresults FOLFOXIRI plus bevrepresents a new standard option in the treatment of mCRCptsselectedaccording to the eligibilitycriteria of thisstudy(particularinterest in BRAF mut) • Finallytheseresultssupport the hypothesisthat an upfrontintensive approach for fewmonthsassociated with a greatertumorshirinkage(followedby maintenance) mayhave a favourable impact in later PFS, and perhaps OS, also in a palliative settingindependently from an increase in resections
