Description
Two patients participating in a large retrospective trial of cetuximab in metastatic, treatment refractory colorectal cancer had tumors which harbored KRAS Q61L. One patient, a 67 year old male, whose tumor was wildtype for BRAF and PIK3CA, was treated with cetuximab and irinotecan as a fourth line therapy. Cetuximab was discontinued due to toxicity and the patient experienced stable disease for 17 weeks and an overall survival of 23 weeks following treatment. The other patient was a 44 year old female whose tumor was wildtype for PIK3CA, BRAF and NRAS. The patient was treated with cetuximab and irinotecan as a third line therapy, and experienced progressive disease 23 weeks following treatment; overall survival was 30 weeks. Both patients experienced progressive disease following treatment.
