| Synonyms | Cetuximab + FOLFIRINOX|Cetuximab + FOLFOXIRI |
| Therapy Description | |
| Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cetuximab | Erbitux | IMC-C225 | EGFR Antibody 74 | 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, and in combination with Braftovi (encorafenib) with or without mFOLFOX6 in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
| Fluorouracil | Adrucil | 5-FU|5-Fluorouracil | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Adrucil (fluorouracil) is an antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent that interferes with DNA and RNA synthesis, thereby preventing cancer cell growth (PMID: 28520376). Adrucil (fluorouracil) is FDA-approved for use in patients with adenocarcinoma of the colon, rectum, breast, stomach, and pancreas (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 |
