Synonyms | Cetuximab + FOLFIRINOX|Cetuximab + FOLFOXIRI |
Therapy Description | |
Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cetuximab | Erbitux | IMC-C225 | EGFR Antibody 60 | Erbitux (cetuximab) is a monoclonal antibody directed against EGFR, which inhibits signal transduction and cell proliferation (PMID: 28695301). Erbitux (cetuximab) is FDA approved for use in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and KRAS wild-type, EGFR positive colorectal cancer (FDA.gov). |
Fluorouracil | Adrucil | 5-FU|5-Fluorouracil | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Adrucil (fluorouracil) is an antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent, which interferes with DNA and RNA synthesis thereby preventing cancer cell growth and is FDA approved for colorectal, breast, stomach, and pancreatic cancer (FDA.gov). |
Irinotecan | Camptosar | CPT-11 | TOPO1 inhibitor 11 | Camptosar (irinotecan) inhibits Topoisomerase-I activity, resulting in inhibition of DNA replication, and potentially leading to cell death and is indicated as a component of first-line therapy in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin for patients with metastatic or recurrent colorectal carcinoma (FDA.gov). |
Leucovorin | Wellcovorin | Calcium folinate|Calcium citrovorum factor|folinic acid | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Wellcovorin (leucovorin) is a metabolite of folate that enhances the efficacy of fluoruracil (PMID: 32490554). |
Oxaliplatin | Eloxatin | Diaminocyclohexane Oxalatoplatinum | Chemotherapy - Platinum 7 | Eloxatin (oxaliplatin) is comprised of a platinum complex, which causes DNA-platinum cross-links, inhibition of DNA replication and transcription, and cell toxicity, and is FDA approved for colorectal cancer (FDA.gov). |

BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | no benefit | Cetuximab + Fluorouracil + Irinotecan + Leucovorin + Oxaliplatin | Phase II | Actionable | In a Phase II trial (FIRE-4.5), the combination of Erbitux (cetuximab) with FOLFOXIRI as first-line therapy did not result in an improved objective response rate (ORR) compared to Avastin (bevacizumab) with FOLFOXIRI, with an ORR of 50.8% (30/59) vs 66.7% (20/30) (P=0.92), a median progression-free survival of 7.6 vs 12.4 months (P=0.003), and a median overall survival of 15.2 vs 22.9 months (P=0.14), respectively, in metastatic colorectal cancer patients harboring BRAF V600E (PMID: 37352476). | 37352476 |
