Age > 50 Abstract Background Limited data exists regarding outcomes and AT benefit/toxicity in Y pts with stage II and III CC. We examined overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS), recurrence free interval (RFI) and AEs in the 33,574 pt ACCENT dataset. Methods Individual pt data from 24 randomized Phase III clinical trials (CT) was obtained for survival outcomes, and 10 CT for AE outcomes. Two age-based cut-offs were used to define Y pts, age < 40 and < 50. Cox models stratified by study and adjusted for gender and stage. AT benefit analyses were limited to 9 CT testing 5-FU/LV or Lev vs control (7 CT) or oxaliplatin+5-FU/LV vs 5-FU/LV (2 CT). Results 1758 (5.2%) pts were age 0.35). Y pts had improved OS and DFS (Table), even when restricting to age 50, interaction p=0.19). No clinically meaningful differences in AEs were observed between ages. Conclusions Among pts on CT, Y (age 30-50) stage II and III CC pts had similar RFI and AT benefit as older pts, with no clinically meaningful differences in AEs. Y pts have improved OS and DFS, likely primarily due to to fewer competing causes of death. Adjuvant therapy is beneficial for CC pts aged meeting typical CT eligibility criteria.
