Real-world treatment patterns and clinical outcomes for chemotherapy-based regimens in first-line MSI-H/dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer

Micro Abstract: This retrospective observational study assessed real-world treatment patterns and clinical outcomes among first-line MSI-H/dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer patients. Of 150 patients in the study cohort, 38.7% were treated with chemotherapy and 61.3% with chemotherapy + EGFR/VEGF inh...

description Micro Abstract: This retrospective observational study assessed real-world treatment patterns and clinical outcomes among first-line MSI-H/dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer patients. Of 150 patients in the study cohort, 38.7% were treated with chemotherapy and 61.3% with chemotherapy + EGFR/VEGF inhibitor (EGFRi/VEGFi). Clinical outcomes were better among patients who received chemotherapy + EGFR/VEGF inhibitor than those who received chemotherapy. Introduction: Prior to pembrolizumab approval in first-line (1L) treatment of MSI-H/dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), patients were managed with chemotherapy with or without an EGFRi or VEGFi, agnostic of biomarker testing or mutation status. This study assessed real-world treatment patterns and clinical outcomes among 1L MSI-H/dMMR mCRC patients treated with standard of care (SOC). Patients and methods: Retrospective observational evaluation of patients ≥18 years diagnosed with stage IV MSI-H/dMMR mCRC who received community-based oncology care. Eligible patients were identified (01-Jun-2017 – 29-Feb-2020) and followed longitudinally until 31-Aug-2020/the last patient record/date of death. Descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier analyses were conducted. Results: Of 150 1L MSI-H/dMMR mCRC patients, 38.7% were treated with chemotherapy and 61.3% with chemotherapy + EGFRi/VEGFi. Accounting for censoring, the overall median real-world time to treatment discontinuation (95% CI) was 5.3 (4.4, 5.8) months; 3.0 (2.1, 4.4) and 6.2 (5.5, 7.6) months in the chemotherapy and chemotherapy + EGFRi/VEGFi cohorts, respectively. The combined median overall survival was 27.7 (23.2, not reached [NR]) months; 25.3 (14.5, NR) and 29.8 (23.2, NR) months in the chemotherapy and chemotherapy + EGFRi/VEGFi cohorts, respectively. The overall median real-world progression-free survival was 6.8 (5.3, 7.8) months; 4.2 (2.8, 6.1) and 7.7 (6.1, 10.2) months in the chemotherapy and chemotherapy + EGFRi/VEGFi cohorts, respectively. Conclusions: 1L MSI-H/dMMR mCRC patients receiving chemotherapy with EGFRi/VEGFi had better outcomes than those receiving only chemotherapy. An unmet need and opportunity to improve outcomes exists in this population that may be addressed by newer treatments like immunotherapies.
