    Abstract: Cetuximab is efficient in advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). We previously showed that KRAS mutations were associated with resistance to cetuximab in 30 CRC patients. The aim of this study was to validate, in an independent larger series of 89 patients, the prognostic value of KRAS mutations on response to cetuximab and survival. Patients and Methods Eighty-nine metastatic CRC patients treated with cetuximab after treatment failure with irinotecan-based chemotherapy were analyzed for KRAS mutation by allelic discrimination on tumor DNA. The association between KRAS mutations and tumor response, skin toxicity, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was analyzed. Results A KRAS mutation was present in 27% of the patients and was associated with resistance to cetuximab (0% v 40% of responders among the 24 mutated and 65 nonmutated patients, respectively; P 〈 .001) and a poorer survival (median PFS: 10.1 v 31.4 weeks in patients without mutation; P = .0001; median OS: 10.1 v 14.3 months in patients without mutation; P = .026). When we pooled these 89 patients with patients from our previous study, the multivariate analysis showed that KRAS status was an independent prognostic factor associated with OS and PFS, whereas skin toxicity was only associated with OS. In a combined analysis, median OS times of patients with two, one, or no favorable prognostic factors (severe skin toxicity and no KRAS mutation) was of 15.6, 10.7, and 5.6 months, respectively. Conclusion These results confirm the high prognostic value of KRAS mutations on response to cetuximab and survival in metastatic CRC patients treated with cetuximab.

    Abstract: The occurrence of KRAS mutation is predictive of nonresponse and shorter survival in patients treated by anti–epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) antibody for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), leading the European Medicine Agency to limit its use to patients with wild-type KRAS tumors. However, only half of these patients will benefit from treatment, suggesting the need to identify additional biomarkers for cetuximab-based treatment efficacy. Patients and Methods We retrospectively collected tumors from 173 patients with mCRC. All but one patient received a cetuximab-based regimen as second-line or greater therapy. KRAS and BRAF status were assessed by allelic discrimination. EGFR amplification was assessed by chromogenic in situ hybridization and fluorescent in situ hybridization, and the expression of PTEN was assessed by immunochemistry. Results In patients with KRAS wild-type tumors (n = 116), BRAF mutations (n = 5) were weakly associated with lack of response (P = .063) but were strongly associated with shorter progression-free survival (P 〈 .001) and shorter overall survival (OS; P 〈 .001). A high EGFR polysomy or an EGFR amplification was found in 17.7% of the patients and was associated with response (P = .015). PTEN null expression was found in 19.9% of the patients and was associated with shorter OS (P = .013). In multivariate analysis, BRAF mutation and PTEN expression status were associated with OS. Conclusion BRAF status, EGFR amplification, and cytoplasmic expression of PTEN were associated with outcome measures in KRAS wild-type patients treated with a cetuximab-based regimen. Subsequent studies in clinical trial cohorts will be required to confirm the clinical utility of these markers.

    Impact of FcγRIIa-FcγRIIIa Polymorphisms and KRAS Mutations on the Clinical Outcome of Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Treated With Cetuximab Plus Irinotecan

    Abstract: The antiepidermal growth factor receptor antibody cetuximab shows activity in irinotecan-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), mainly in wild-type KRAS tumors. Cetuximab may also exert antitumor effects through antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) in which antibody Fc portion interacts with Fc receptors (FcγRs) expressed by immune cells. ADCC is influenced by FcγRIIa-H131R and FcγRIIIa-V158F polymorphisms that are clinically relevant in follicular lymphoma and metastatic breast cancer treated with rituximab and trastuzumab, respectively. We investigated the association of FcγR polymorphisms and KRAS mutation with the outcome of irinotecan-refractory mCRC patients treated with cetuximab plus irinotecan. Patients and Methods Tumor and normal tissues from 69 patients were screened for KRAS mutations using a sensitive multiplex assay and genotyped for FcγRIIa and FcγRIIIa polymorphisms by direct sequencing and multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction, respectively. The results were correlated with response and progression-free survival (PFS). Results KRAS mutations were associated with lower response rate (4% v 27% in nonmutated patients; P = .021) and shorter PFS (3.0 v 5.3 months; P = .021). Patients with FcγRIIa-131H/H and/or FcγIIIa-158V/V genotypes had longer PFS than 131R and 158F carriers (5.5 v 3.0 months; P = .005). The difference remained significant for mutated-KRAS patients. By multivariate analysis, KRAS mutation and FcγR combined status were independent risk factors for PFS. Conclusion Combined FcγRIIa/FcγRIIIa polymorphisms are prognostic factors for disease progression in mCRC patients treated with cetuximab plus irinotecan. As these polymorphisms are also clinically relevant in mutated-KRAS mCRC, an important role of ADCC in cetuximab efficacy is presumed.
