Identification of predictive circulating biomarkers of bevacizumab-containing regimen efficacy in pre-treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients

BACKGROUND: To identify whether circulating levels of angiogenesis-related factors may be predictive of bevacizumab efficacy in pre-treated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. METHODS: Pre-treatment serum levels of 24 cytokines were measured using a multiplex bead assay (MBA) in 32 pre-tre...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: To identify whether circulating levels of angiogenesis-related factors may be predictive of bevacizumab efficacy in pre-treated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. METHODS: Pre-treatment serum levels of 24 cytokines were measured using a multiplex bead assay (MBA) in 32 pre-treated mCRC patients treated with irinotecan plus bevacizumab-based salvage therapy. Macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC), interleukins (ILs) 8 and 6 levels were also validated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at different time points during therapy. RESULTS: Higher epidermal growth factor (EGF) and MDC baseline levels (2.2- and 1.4-fold, respectively) and lower IL-10, IL-6 and IL-8 levels (0.2-, 0.6-, and 0.6-fold, respectively, P<0.05) were observed in patients responding to therapy. Baseline levels of these five serum factors compose a risk signature that may define the subset of patients most likely to benefit from bevacizumab-based therapy in terms of response rate and survival times. A positive correlation was found between MBA and ELISA results (P<0.01). Treatment exposure increased MDC and had opposite effects on IL-8 levels, which were decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: This study suggests that a set of inflammatory and angiogenesis-related serum markers may be associated with the efficacy of bevacizumab-containing regimen.
