CHD1L Inhibitor OTI-611 Synergizes with Chemotherapy to Enhance Antitumor Efficacy and Prolong Survival in Colorectal Cancer Mouse Models. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
It is universally treated with a combination of the DNA damaging chemotherapy drugs irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), and oxaliplatin. Finally, the combination of low doses of OTI-611 with irinotecan significantly reduces tumor volume and extends survival in CRC xenograft mouse models compared to irinotecan alone. The combination of standard of care chemotherapy drugs with CHD1Li represents a promising advancement in future therapeutic strategies for CRC and other cancers driven by CHD1L.

Qualitative Transcriptional Signature for Predicting the Pathological Response of Colorectal Cancer to FOLFIRI Therapy. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
FOLFIRI (5-FU, leucovorin, irinotecan) is the first-line chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), but response rates are under 50%...In conclusion, the REO-based signature effectively identifies mCRC patients likely to benefit from FOLFIRI. Furthermore, these signature genes may play a crucial role in the chemotherapy.

The regimen may be a novel option for untreated unresectable mCRC.

Nonetheless, a larger sample size is needed for validation and identifying which patient subgroup might benefit from this regimen.

Treatment of stage IV colorectal cancer: A retrospective cohort study assessing whether failure of first‑line treatment indicates failure of second‑line treatment. (PubMed, Mol Clin Oncol)
Although current first- and second-line therapies stratify for KRAS/NRAS/BRAF mutations, microsatellite instability, tumour location and co-morbidities, the therapeutic mainstay for the first- and second-line treatment of the majority of patients consists of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemo-immunotherapy. By exchanging the chemotherapeutic combination partner from oxaliplatin to irinotecan or vice versa, plus the additive anti-epidermal growth factor receptor/anti-vascular endothelial growth factor antibody, the negative factor of non-response to first-line therapy could not be overcome by second-line treatment in this study population. These findings must be confirmed in larger studies, but indicate the need for novel treatment options, especially for patients not responding to first-line 5-FU-based chemo-immunotherapy.

Evaluation of circulating tumor DNA as a prognostic and predictive biomarker in BRAF V600E mutated colorectal cancer-results from the FIRE-4.5 study. (PubMed, Mol Oncol)
The randomized FIRE-4.5 (AIO KRK0116) trial compared first-line therapy with FOLFOXIRI (folinic acid, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan) plus either cetuximab or bevacizumab in B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. Those patients also achieved a significantly greater disease control rate (89% vs 20%; P = 0.008). In conclusion, LB evaluating ctDNA is informative and may help to guide treatment in patients with BRAF V600E-mutated mCRC.
