Hecht WCGIC Introduction Panitumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) and is approved in the US for the treatment of refractory mCRC The US standard of care for first-line treatment of mCRC is the combination of bevacizumab plus oxaliplatin- or irinotecan- based chemotherapy (Ox-CT or Iri-CT) Preclinical and preliminary clinical studies have suggested that combining EGFr, VEGF inhibitors, and chemotherapy may improve efficacy 1,2 The PACCE study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab and chemotherapy +/- panitumumab for first-line treatment of mCRC 1 Shaheen et al.

Hecht WCGIC SUMMARY This phase 3b open-label, US community-based study investigated the potential benefit of adding an anti-EGFr antibody (panitumumab) to an anti-VEGF-A antibody (bevacizumab) and chemotherapy for first-line mCRC A planned interim analysis on the Ox cohort demonstrated an unfavorable risk:benefit profile for panitumumab+ bev/Ox-CT based on reduced PFS time and additional toxicity These efficacy data suggest that there is a lack of biological synergy between panitumumab and bevacizumab in combination with Ox-CT Additional toxicity was observed in the panitumumab + bev/Ox-CT arm –Dual pathway inhibition may have potentiated toxicity Lower dose intensity was observed in the panitumumab + bev/Ox- CT arm
Hecht WCGIC SUMMARY (cont.) In an exploratory, post-hoc analysis, specific populations, particularly patients who were elderly, had poor performance status, or had comorbidities > 1, had worse outcomes Most patients withdrew due to non-progressive events (64% on panitumumab + bev/Ox-CT arm, 73% on bev/Ox-CT arm) Further data collection and analyses are ongoing, including subset analyses based on biomarkers Phase 3 registrational studies are currently ongoing to investigate panitumumab with chemotherapy alone in first- and second-line mCRC –Independent data monitoring committees for these studies have recommended continuation without protocol modification
