Brief summary

This study was designed as multi-center, ambispective observational trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of addition of cetuximab to doublet or triplet chemotherapy as conversion therapy in right-sided BRAF/RAS wild-type CRLM with curative intent. The primary endpoint was radical resection rate (R0). The secondary endpoint was response rate, rate of NED, depth of remission, early tumor shrinkage, progression free survival and safety.

Detailed description

Patients with colorectal liver-limited metastases (CLM) represent an exceptional subgroup with regards to the possible benefits of potentially curative multidisciplinary strategies, in which the upfront most active combination regimens are preferred to improve the rate of radical resection (R0) and NED (no evidence of disease). Unfortunately, Data are limited that specifically address the tumor location's impact on conversion therapy. As far as right-sided CRLM are concerned, much lower R0 after conversion therapy could be achieved when compared with left-sided CRLM. Furthermore, great controversies remain about the optimal conversion regimens in right-sided CRLM and the potential roles of anti-EGFR with regards to the different recommendations from NCCN, ESMO and CSCO guidelines. Chemotherapy plus cetuximab have the advantages in terms of response rate, early tumor shrinkage and depth of response, thus it is still of great value to explore the roles of cetuximab plus chemotherapy as conversion strategy in the right-sided RAS/BRAF wild type and MSS CRLM in the real world scenario. This study was designed as multi-center, ambispective observational trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of addition of cetuximab to doublet or triplet chemotherapy as conversion therapy in right-sided BRAF/RAS wild-type CRLM with curative intent. The primary endpoint was radical resection rate (R0). The secondary endpoint was response rate, rate of NED, depth of remission, early tumor shrinkage, progression free survival and safety.
