Relationship of efficacy with KRAS status (wild type versus mutant) in patients with irinotecan-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), treated with irinotecan (q2w) and escalating doses of cetuximab (q1w): The EVEREST experience (preliminary data)

TLDR
This work has shown that in pts with mCRC after failure of irinotecan-based therapy, the efficacy could be improved by escalating the dose of cetuximab, and this work aims to demonstrate this in patients with a prior history of central giant cell granuloma.
Abstract
4001 Background: We previously demonstrated in the EVEREST trial that, in pts with mCRC after failure of irinotecan-based therapy, the efficacy could be improved by escalating the dose of cetuximab...

A Randomized Phase IIIB Trial of Chemotherapy, Bevacizumab, and Panitumumab Compared With Chemotherapy and Bevacizumab Alone for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: The addition of panitumumab to bevacizumab and oxaliplatin- or irinotecan-based chemotherapy results in increased toxicity and decreased PFS, and these combinations are not recommended for the treatment of mCRC in clinical practice.

Genetic prognostic and predictive markers in colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: There has been an explosive increase in the number of markers thought to be associated with prognosis and treatment outcome in this disease, and this Review attempts to summarize the sometimes confusing findings, and critically assess those markers already in the public domain.

Biomarkers Predicting Clinical Outcome of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor–Targeted Therapy in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: The use of KRAS mutations as a selection biomarker for anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (eg, panitumumab or cetuximab) treatment is the first major step toward individualized treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Amphiregulin and epiregulin mRNA expression in primary tumors predicts outcome in metastatic colorectal cancer treated with cetuximab

TL;DR: In this paper, the power of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) epiregulin (EREG) and amphiregulus (AREG) ligands' expression in primary tumors to predict the outcome in patients with chemorefractory metastatic colorectal cancer (cmCRC) treated with the combination of cetuximab and irinotecan.
