Description
Mutational analysis of 109 metastatic colorectal cancer patients was used to examine objective tumor response, progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) following treatment with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies (cetuximab or panitumumab). In univariate analysis, KRAS mutations (G12V, G12S, G12D, G12A, G13V, G13D) were significantly associated with lack of response to panitumumab or cetuximab (objective response rate: 2/32 vs 20/77 for patients harboring KRAS mutated or wildtype tumors, respectively; P = 0.019). Multivariate logistic regression of KRAS mutations, PIK3CA mutations and PTEN protein expression also confirmed an independent effect of KRAS mutations on objective response (p = 0.0029). Authors noted that patients with tumors harboring KRAS mutations (32/108) tended to have decreased PFS and OS compared to those with wild-type tumors though the differences were not statistically significant.
