Description
This was a retrospective clinical study of 97 metastatic colorectal cancer patients who received bevacizumab in conjunction with first-line chemotherapy (composed of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) only, 5-FU + oxaliplatin, 5-FU + irinotecan, or 5-FU + oxaliplatin + irinotecan). It assessed the relationship between PIK3CA mutation status in primary tumors and response to bevacizumab-containing first line chemotherapy, as measured by PFS. Of the 97 patients, 83 had wildtype PIK3CA and 14 had mutations in PIK3CA on either exon 9 or 20 (exon 9 mutations: E542K, E545K, E545G, E545D, Q546K, D549N. Exon 20 mutations: R1023Q, H1047R, H1047L, G1049A). The study found that patients harboring a PIK3CA mutation were not significantly more resistant to bevacizumab-containing first-line chemotherapy than patients with wildtype PIK3CA, as evidenced by a nonsignificant difference in PFS between the two groups.
