Treatment until progression: Data of the “on-treatment” population of the FIRE-3 (AIO KRK-0306) study.
2015
3589 Background: The FIRE-3 study (AIO KRK-0306) was designed as a randomized multicenter trial to compare the efficacy of FOLFIRI plus cetuximab (cet) to FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab (bev) as first-line treatment in KRAS WT mCRC patients. FOLFIRI plus cet as first-line treatment of KRAS WT mCRC patients resulted in comparable overall response rates (ORR) and progression free survival (PFS) when compared to FOLFIRI plus bev. Overall survival (OS) was significantly longer in the FOLFIRI plus cet arm. Methods: In this exploratory analysis outcome parameters were calculated in dependence of progression during antibody treatment. As reported before by Saltz et al. (ASCO GI 2007) an “on study treatm…
Efficacy of trastuzumab re-therapy in routine treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer patients who relapsed after completed (neo-)adjuvant anti-HER2…

602 Background: Addition of trastuzumab (Roche; T) to chemotherapy (CT) has improved outcomes in patients (pts) with HER2+ breast cancer at all stages, including locally advanced and metastatic disease. Anti-HER2 re-treatment with T is an increasingly used therapy option for the treatment of recurrent/metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, limited data on T re-treatment is currently available. Methods: Patients with locally recurrent and/or MBC who received T re-therapy were included in this non-interventional study. Among 232 pts enrolled at 121 sites in Germany, 174 pts (33 locally recurrent disease, 141 MBC) were already sufficiently documented to be analyzed for efficacy of T re-ther…
