Abstrakt: Purpose: To explore the efficacy and safety of FOLFOXIRI plus cetuximab regimen as conversion therapy for patients with unresectable RAS/BRAF wildtype colorectal liver-limited metastases (CLM). Patients and methods: This was a dual-center, phase II trial with the rate of no evidence of disease (NED) achieved as the primary endpoint. All enrolled patients with initially unresectable left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type colorectal liver-limited metastases received a modified FOLFOXIRI plus cetuximab regimen as conversion therapy. Results: Between October 2019 and October 2021, fifteen patients were enrolled. Nine patients (60%) achieved NED. The overall response rate (ORR) was 92.9%, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 100%. The median relapsefree survival (RFS) was 9 (95% CI: 0-20.7) months. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 13.0 months (95% CI: 5.7-20.5), and the median overall survival (OS) was not reached. The most frequently occurring grade 3-4 adverse events were neutropenia (20%), peripheral neurotoxicity (13.3%), diarrhea (6.7%), and rash acneiform (6.7%). Conclusion: The FOLFOXIRI plus cetuximab regimen displayed tolerable toxicity and promising anti-tumor activity in terms of the rate of NED achieved and response rate in patients with initially unresectable left-sided RAS/BRAF wildtype CLM. This regimen merits further investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
