Group M1 - DKFZ-2025-01799 SP - 1297-1306 PY - 2025 N1 - 2025 Nov;133(9):1297-1306 AB - Patients with RAS wild-type (WT), left-sided metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), negatively hyperselected for anti-EGFR resistance alterations, benefit most from anti-EGFR-based first-line treatment. The predictive impact of these stratification parameters on maintenance strategy efficacy is unclear.This pooled analysis included individual patient data from the PanaMa (NCT01991873) and Valentino (NCT02476045) phase 2 trials. Patients with RAS WT mCRC received FOLFOX plus Panitumumab induction therapy followed by maintenance with 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5-FU/LV) plus Panitumumab vs. 5-FU/LV monotherapy (PanaMa) or Panitumumab monotherapy (Valentino). Outcomes included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Subgroup analyses examined primary tumor sidedness (left vs. right) and hyperselection status (negative vs. altered).Among 607 patients receiving induction, sidedness and hyperselection status were available for 589 and 511 patients, respectively. Left-sided and negative hyperselected tumors were observed in 80.2 LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)16 C6 - pmid:40877636 DO - DOI:10.1038/s41416-025-03164-5 UR - https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/304245 ER -
