Real-World Study of anti-PD-1 Combined with Regorafenib and Raltitrexed as Third-Line Therapy in Colorectal Cancer
摘要
This studyaimed to assess the effectiveness of combining the anti-PD-1 drug with regorafenib and raltitrexed as a third-line treatment for mCRC.
MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer between December 2021 and December 2022, who had previously failed treatment and subsequently received anti-PD-1 drugs combined with regorafenib and raltitrexed as third-line therapy. The primary efficacy endpoints were the objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS), while secondary endpoints included the disease control rate (DCR) and overall survival (OS).
ResultsA total of 57 patients were enrolled in the study. The ORR and DCR were 14.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.1–23.1) and 50.9% (95% CI: 37.9–63.9), respectively. No patient achieved CR, 8 (14.1%) patients exhibited PR, 21 (36.8%) patients had SD, and 28 (49.1%) patients experienced PD. At the data cutoff, 23 (40.4%) deaths had occurred; with a median follow-up of 11 months (range 1-32.6). The median PFS was 4.2 months (95% CI: 1.7 to 6.7), and the median OS was 10.5 months (95% CI: 3.0 to 18.0). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade occurred in 50 (87.7%) patients, with the most common being palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (25, 43.9%), followed by a rash (7, 12.3%), and hypertension (5, 8.8%).
ConclusionsThe combination of anti-PD-1 drugs, regorafenib, and raltitrexed demonstrated promising antitumor efficacy and acceptable safety in patients with metastatic CRC, offering an alternative approach to optimize combination strategies in the management of refractory metastatic colorectal cancer.
