METHODS: Grouping of 61 patients according to first-line treatment regimen (chemotherapy alone/chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab). Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to compare OS and PFS. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to measure the risk of first-line medication therapies while correcting for confounding factors that may affect PFS and OS.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in OS between patients treated with chemotherapy alone and those treated with chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab (P = 0.93; HR, 1.027; 95% CI, 0.555-1.901). Likewise, there was no significant difference in PFS between the two groups (P = 0.29; HR, 0.734; 95% CI, 0.413-1.304). Subgroup analysis showed that OS and PFS of different treatment regimens were not significantly different among subgroups. Multivariate analysis suggested that surgical treatment of primary tumor (P = 0.001; HR, 0.326; 95% CI, 0.169-0.631) and presence of liver metastasis (P = 0.009; HR, 2.399; 95% CI, 1.242-4.635) may serve as independent prognostic indicators in patients with BRAF-mutated advanced CRC. Surgical treatment of the primary tumor (P = 0.041; HR, 0.523; 95% CI, 0.280-0.974) was significantly associated with PFS too.
CONCLUSIONS: For patients with BRAF V600E-mutated advanced CRC, chemotherapy alone did not differ significantly in OS and PFS compared with chemotherapy + bevacizumab for advanced first-line therapy. Chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy did not render a survival benefit to these patients, demonstrating that the importance of developing new treatment options for this population.
方法:按照一线治疗方案(单纯化疗/化疗联合贝伐单抗)对61例患者进行分组。
结果:单纯化疗与化疗联合贝伐单抗治疗患者的OS无显著差异(P=0.93;HR,
结论:对于BRAFV600E突变的晚期CRC患者,
