Maintenance with 5-FU/LV-aflibercept after induction with FOLFIRI-aflibercept versus FOLFIRI-aflibercept until progression as second-line treatment in older adults with metastatic colorectal cancer: the AFEMA phase II randomized trial

Background: The combination chemotherapy i.v. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), irinotecan, and aflibercept (FOLFIRI-A) is a standard second-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The aim was to assess maintenance treatment in second-line setting in older patients (aged >= 70 years) with mCR...

The aim was to assess maintenance treatment in second-line setting in older patients (aged >= 70 years) with mCRC. Patients and methods: We evaluated FOLFIRI-A given for six cycles followed by maintenance with 5-FU/leucovorin (LV)A (arm A) or FOLFIRI-A (arm B) until progression in older adults with mCRC in the AFEMA randomized, open-label, noninferiority phase II trial (EudraCT2016-004076-21/NCT03279289). Patients aged >= 70 years who previously failed oxaliplatin-fluoropyrimidine were randomly allocated (1 : 1) to either arm A (experimental) or arm B (control). After enrolling 35 patients, the FOLFIRI dose was reduced to level 1 in both arms due to toxicity. The primary endpoint was median progression-free survival (PFS); and secondary endpoints were median overall survival, objective response rate, and safety. Non-inferiority required the upper confidence interval (CI) limit to not exceed a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.5 (one-sided alpha=0.075, 80% power). Results: A total of 170 patients were randomly allocated to arm A or arm B (n = 85 each). The median follow-up was 12.2 versus 10.9 months in arm A versus arm B. Most patients died (83.5% versus 88.2% in arm A versus arm B), mainly from disease progression. PFS non-inferiority was met (HR = 0.78, 95% CI 0.566-1.076, P = 0.131) with a median PFS of 6.1 versus 5.5 months in arm A versus arm B. Median overall survival was similar in arms A and B (12.2 and 11.5 months, respectively) (HR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.640-1.227, P = 0.467). During the maintenance phase, severe asthenia (4.5% versus 21.6%, P = 0.038), serious adverse events (SAEs) (17.8% versus 37.8%, P = 0.049), and treatmentrelated SAEs (6.7% versus 10.8%, P = 0.695) were reduced in arm A versus arm B. Conclusion: In older adults, induction with six cycles of FOLFIRI-A plus maintenance with 5-FU/LV-A was non-inferior to FOLFIRI-A until progression. Severe asthenia, SAEs, and treatment-related SAEs were reduced with 5-FU/LV-A maintenance.ELSEVIER2024info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://iibsantpau.fundanetsuite.com/Publicaciones/ProdCientif/PublicacionFrw.aspx?id=18829https://ddd.uab.cat/record/304841ESMO OpenISSN: 20597029reponame:r-IIB SANT PAU.
