Bevacizumabin CRC Therapy: Doses, efficacy, maintenance, and impact of ages - 3515, 3516, 3517, 3521 • S-1 in CRC: the un-replaceable role of fluoropyrimidines in CRC therapy, and equivalence of different analogs : -3518, 3519 • Early response is critical and an indicator for the overall outcome: 3520 • What can we learn from these studies? • What is the potential impact of these studies on clinic practice?
Evaluated the optimal dose of Bevacizumab (2nd-line): A long-time question since the first day of bevacizumab in clinical practice: 5mg/kg vs. 10 mg/kg vs. 7.5 mg/kg (commonly used in q3wks regimen with XELOX) 3516: FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab as second-line therapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have failed first-line bevacizumab plus oxaliplatin-based therapy: the randomized phase III EAGLE study Arm A: FOLFIRI Hiroshi Tamagawa, et al + bevacizumab 5mg/kg R Oxaliplatin based CTx + bevacizumab 5mg/kg Arm B:FOLFIRI + bevacizumab 10mg/kg N=367 • Primary End Point: PFS • Secondary end points: Toxicity, RR, TTF, OS, • OS from the first-line, duration from the start of the first-line

No differences: • dose intense of chemotherapy • subgroup analysis: sex, age, PS, primary site (rectal vs. colon) metastatic characteristics (location, numbers, peritoneal mets), CEA, CA19-9…
The Potential Impact of Bevacizumab Dose on the CRC Chemotherapy Efficacy Initial Phase II: Kabbinavar First line: AVF 2107g Second line: E3200
Conclusion • No significant difference was found in PFS between Arm A and Arm B. • No Surprise - dose of Bevacizumab was based on neither the Tumor mass (size or numbers) nor the biologics (VEGF, or VEGFR levels) of Cancer. • However, patients with first-line treatment <180 days, CEA ≥20 ng/mL, sum of target lesions ≥50 mm seem to benefit from bev 10 mg/kg. • May make sense as larger tumor burden may be benefit with more Bev. • The results from study suggest that the optimal dose of continuous bev as second-line treatment is 5 mg/kg. • With the efficacy from this and other studies and cost-effective ration—Agree! No need to have any further debate regarding the appropriate dose of Bevacizumab in CRC therapy (in the 2nd line setting)

Clinic Chemptherapy Goal: Increasing the efficacy, minimize/delay the toxicity • Optimox 1: maintain the efficacy and decreasing the toxicity with ‘stop and go’ strategy • Biological agents benefit in combination with chemotherapy • VEGF inhibitors vs. EGFR inhibitor(s) and combination?

Conclusions • The addition of erlotinib to bevacizumabfollowing induction therapywithbevacizumab-basedchemotherapysignificantlyincreases the maintenance PFS. • In contrast to anti-EGFR Mabs, KRAS tumorstatusdoes not select patients withmCRCbenefitingfromerlotinib However: Will the results change the practice? • Bevacizumabalone is not standard, and without clear benefit (SAKK 41/06, abs 3503); and after OPTIMOX 1, 5-FU (or Capecitabine)+ bevacizumabis already the maintenance therapy in many practices (which is supported by CAIRO3, abs 3502). • Erlotinib is not indicated in CRC May help future investigation of anti-VEGF mAb + Anti-EGFR TKI in mCRC

No major difference of AEs comparing with other Bevacizumab studies
Conclusions • A statistically significant improvement in PFS with the addition of bevacizumab to capecitabine (HR, 0.53; P<.001) • Patients grouped according to age (70–74 years, 75–79 years, ≥80 years) had a similar PFS benefit • The safety profile was consistent with previously reported data and consistent across age subgroups • Suggests that the combination of bevacizumab and capecitabine is an effective and well-tolerated regimen for elderly with good PS • Age is ‘relative’, even with anti-angiogenicagent, (however, data here is only for Bev… ). • Key issue is careful patient selection.

Discussion • Clinic investigation: EORT warrants further consideration as a potential surrogate endpoint to detect early signals for future trials, particularly randomized studies . • - Clinic Practice: EORT as a ‘clinic surrogate prognostic factor’ in mCRC treatment • - Questions: • Early response vs. Duration of response • Tumor biology • Early response brings more treatment options (resection, local-regional therapy, more lines of therapy), improved quality of life.
