Chemoradiotherapy plus immunotherapy may expand checkpoint blockade benefit in mismatch repair-proficient rectal cancer

Skip to content The CRC Digest ◇ RESEARCH Chemoradiotherapy plus immunotherapy may expand checkpoint blockade benefit in mismatch repair-proficient rectal cancer Adding immune checkpoint blockade to chemoradiotherapy has been associated with pathological complete response rates of 30% or more in pMMR rectal cancer trials, higher than expected with chemoradiotherapy alone, though

Phase II trial examines quality of life with panitumumab-based intensified regimen

Skip to content The CRC Digest Phase II trial examines quality of life with panitumumab-based intensified regimen The VOLFI trial analyzed health-related quality of life in patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer treated with mFOLFOXIRI plus panitumumab versus FOLFOXIRI, noting that anti-EGFR antibodies like panitumumab are associated with a

Matching-Adjusted Indirect Comparison of Sotorasib Plus Panitumumab Versus Trifluridine/Tipiracil Plus Bevacizumab in Chemorefractory Metastatic CRC

Skip to content The CRC Digest ◇ RESEARCH Matching-Adjusted Indirect Comparison of Sotorasib Plus Panitumumab Versus Trifluridine/Tipiracil Plus Bevacizumab in Chemorefractory Metastatic CRC A matching-adjusted indirect comparison evaluated sotorasib combined with panitumumab versus trifluridine/tipiracil plus bevacizumab in chemorefractory metastatic colorectal cancer.

PD-L1 blockade shows activity in MSS rectal cancer when combined with radiation and chemotherapy

Skip to content The CRC Digest ▸ TREATMENT PD-L1 blockade shows activity in MSS rectal cancer when combined with radiation and chemotherapy The PRECAM-R trial demonstrated that short-course radiotherapy may create an immune-priming window in microsatellite-stable tumors, allowing PD-L1 blockade to achieve a 44.8% pathologic complete response rate. (The ASCO

Envafolimab plus chemoradiation improves pathologic complete response in MSS rectal cancer

Skip to content The CRC Digest ◆ TRIAL DATA Envafolimab plus chemoradiation improves pathologic complete response in MSS rectal cancer An interim analysis of the phase III PRECAM-R trial found that adding subcutaneous PD-L1 blocker envafolimab to short-course radiotherapy and CAPEOX improved pathologic complete response to 44.8% in patients with

Encorafenib, cetuximab, and nivolumab rechallenge succeeds in BRAF V600E mCRC case

Skip to content The CRC Digest Encorafenib, cetuximab, and nivolumab rechallenge succeeds in BRAF V600E mCRC case A case report from the AGMT mCRC Registry describes successful rechallenge with encorafenib and cetuximab combined with nivolumab in a patient with BRAF V600E mutated, mismatch-repair-proficient metastatic colorectal cancer. (Clinical Colorectal Cancer) This

AZUR-4 Phase II trial tests neoadjuvant dostarlimab plus CAPEOX in MSS stage III colon cancer

Skip to content The CRC Digest ◆ TRIAL DATA AZUR-4 Phase II trial tests neoadjuvant dostarlimab plus CAPEOX in MSS stage III colon cancer This randomized Phase II study compares neoadjuvant dostarlimab plus CAPEOX versus CAPEOX alone in previously untreated T4N0 or stage III mismatch repair proficient/microsatellite stable resectable colon

KRAS Mutations Shape Immunosuppressive Tumor Environment

Skip to content The CRC Digest ◇ RESEARCH KRAS Mutations Shape Immunosuppressive Tumor Environment A review describes how KRAS mutations—present in approximately 52% of colorectal cancers—actively create an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, presenting a major barrier to both targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

Fruquintinib plus immunotherapy evaluated in MSS refractory mCRC

Skip to content The CRC Digest Fruquintinib plus immunotherapy evaluated in MSS refractory mCRC A retrospective study of 145 patients with microsatellite-stable metastatic CRC who had progressed after at least two systemic treatment lines aimed to evaluate whether fruquintinib alone, fruquintinib plus a PD-1 inhibitor, or the combination with radiotherapy

COMMIT trial analysis examines chemoimmunotherapy in dMMR metastatic CRC

Skip to content The CRC Digest ◆ TRIAL DATA COMMIT trial analysis examines chemoimmunotherapy in dMMR metastatic CRC A new analysis explores what the COMMIT trial can and cannot tell us about combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy in patients with deficient DNA mismatch repair metastatic colorectal cancer.
