Excerpt:
Rates of PFS rates at 12 months were 31.2% (95% CI, 20.1%-42.9%) and 19.4% (95% CI, 10.6%-30.2%) in the avelumab and control groups, respectively, and 27.4% (95% CI, 16.8%-39.0%) and 9.1% (95% CI, 3.2%-18.8%) at 18 months....The SAMCO-PRODIGE 54 phase 2 randomized clinical trial showed, in patients with dMMR/MSI mCRC, better PFS and disease control duration with avelumab over standard second-line treatment, with a favorable safety profile.

Title:

LBA23 - Avelumab versus standard second-line treatment chemotherapy in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients with microsatellite instability (MSI): The SAMCO-PRODIGE 54 randomised phase II trial

Published date:
09/05/2022
Excerpt:
In this national, multi-center, open-label phase 2 trial, pts with MSI/dMMR mCRC who progressed on oxaliplatin or irinotecan-based first-line therapy ± targeted agents, were randomized to receive standard second-line therapy or avelumab (10 mg/kg q2w)….avelumab was superior to chemotherapy +/- targeted agents with respect to PFS (p=0.025). 12- and 18-month PFS rates were 19% and 9% in arm A, and 31% and 27%, in arm B.
