Median OS for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has been improved to 30 months in clinical trials.1 Data suggest that third- or later line treatments, such as trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) plus bevacizumab and fruquintinib, can extend OS even further2,3
Data on real-world treatment of mCRC in third and later lines are available. However, studies with a follow-up of recruited patients were limited to specific agents or to a single country
PROMETCO (NCT03935763) is the first international, prospective, real-world study of treatment of patients with mCRC after two disease progressions since diagnosis
Aim: To assess safety outcomes at third- or later line treatment in the real-world setting
Inclusion criteria: Adults with two disease progressions since first diagnosis of mCRC, who were willing to receive subsequent treatment
Exclusion criteria: Patients enrolled in other clinical trials, receiving treatment for other cancers, or those with reduced mental capacity
At enrolment (March 2019), patient data were collected retrospectively using electronic case report forms and the ClinInfo electronic data capture system,4 and were assessed prospectively for up to 18 months or until withdrawal or death
Baseline characteristics (N=736)
Safety outcomes (N=736)
Conclusions
*ECOG PS score for 41 patients was not recorded.
†Before FTD/TPI + bevacizumab was recognized as standard of care in third line.
ECOG PS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; FTD/TPI, trifluridine/tipiracil; mCRC, metastatic colorectal cancer; OS, overall survival.
