摘要: Purpose: Cetuximab improves survival in patients with K-ras wild-type advanced colorectal cancer. We examined the predictive and prognostic significance of additional biomarkers this setting, particular BRAF , PIK3CA PTEN. Experimental Design: Available tumor samples were analyzed from CO.17 study. mutations identified tumor-derived DNA by direct sequencing using a high-resolution melting screen confirmation sequencing. PTEN expression immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on tissue microarrays. For each biomarker, effects Cox model tests for treatment–biomarker interaction. Results: A total 572 pretreated cancer randomly assigned to receive cetuximab or best supportive care (BSC). Of 401 assessed status, 13 (3.2%) had mutations. 407 61 (15%) 205 PTEN, 148 (72%) negative IHC expression. None overall progression-free BSC arm. benefit cetuximab, either whole study population subset. In subgroup, adjusted HR according mutation status 1.39 (interaction P = 0.69), 0.79 0.63), 0.75 0.61). Conclusions: chemotherapy-refractory cancer, neither nor prognostic, they cetuximab. Evaluation requires larger sample size. Clin Cancer Res; 20(3); 744–53. ©2013 AACR .
