Uit de SUNLIGHT studie (N = 490 patiënten totaal) blijkt dat wanneer darmkankerpatiënten met recidief of progressie van uitgezaaide darmkanker naast Lonsurf (trifluridine–tipiracil (FTD–TPI)) als medicijn bevacizumab (Avastin) erbij krijgen hun mediane overall overleving verbetert in vergelijking met alleen Lonsurf (trifluridine–tipiracil (FTD–TPI)) als behandeling: (10.8 maanden versus 7,5 maanden). Ook ziekteprogressievrije tijd verbeterde met de combinatiebehandeling van 2,4 naar 5,6 maanden. 

Resultaten uit het abstract vertaald:

In elke groep werden in totaal 246 patiënten ingedeeld.

  • De mediane totale overleving was 10,8 maanden in de combinatiegroep en 7,5 maanden in de FTD-TPI-groep (hazard ratio voor overlijden, 0,61; 95% betrouwbaarheidsinterval , 0,49 tot 0,77; P<0,001).
  • De mediane progressievrije overleving was 5,6 maanden in de combinatiegroep en 2,4 maanden in de FTD-TPI-groep (hazard ratio voor ziekteprogressie of overlijden, 0,44; 95% BI, 0,36 tot 0,54; P<0,001).
  • De meest voorkomende bijwerkingen in beide groepen waren neutropenie, misselijkheid en bloedarmoede. Er werden geen behandelingsgerelateerde sterfgevallen gemeld.
  • De mediane tijd tot verslechtering van de ECOG-prestatiestatusscore van 0 of 1 naar 2 of meer was 9,3 maanden in de combinatiegroep en 6,3 maanden in de FTD-TPI-groep (hazard ratio, 0,54; 95% CI, 0,43 tot 0,67) .

Abstract

BACKGROUND

In a previous phase 3 trial, treatment with trifluridine–tipiracil (FTD–TPI) prolonged overall survival among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Preliminary data from single-group and randomized phase 2 trials suggest that treatment with FTD–TPI in addition to bevacizumab has the potential to extend survival.

METHODS

We randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, adult patients who had received no more than two previous chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer to receive FTD–TPI plus bevacizumab (combination group) or FTD–TPI alone (FTD–TPI group). The primary end point was overall survival. Secondary end points were progression-free survival and safety, including the time to worsening of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance-status score from 0 or 1 to 2 or more (on a scale from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater disability).

RESULTS

A total of 246 patients were assigned to each group. The median overall survival was 10.8 months in the combination group and 7.5 months in the FTD–TPI group (hazard ratio for death, 0.61; 95% confidence interval , 0.49 to 0.77; P<0.001). The median progression-free survival was 5.6 months in the combination group and 2.4 months in the FTD–TPI group (hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.54; P<0.001). The most common adverse events in both groups were neutropenia, nausea, and anemia. No treatment-related deaths were reported. The median time to worsening of the ECOG performance-status score from 0 or 1 to 2 or more was 9.3 months in the combination group and 6.3 months in the FTD–TPI group (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.43 to 0.67).

CONCLUSIONS

Among patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer, treatment with FTD–TPI plus bevacizumab resulted in longer overall survival than FTD–TPI alone.
