Patients and Methods: The regimen consisted of intravenous oxaliplatin 130 to 100 mg/m2 on day 1, oral Cap 750 to 1000 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1 to 14, and Bev 7.5 mg/kg on day 1, every 3 weeks. After 4 cycles of CAPOX-Bev, the patients without evidence of disease progression received maintenance treatment with Cap 1000 to 1250 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1 to 14 and Bev 7.5 mg/kg on day 1, every 3 weeks, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was the 9-month disease control rate. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety were the secondary endpoints. Results: Overall, 36 patients were enrolled from March 2012 to April 2017 at our institution. After completion of CAPOX/Bev, 15 patients (41.7%) had a partial response, 18 (50.0%) had stable disease, and 3 (8.3%) had progressive disease. Thirty-three patients (91.7%) received the Cap/Bev regimen as maintenance treatment for a median of 8.6 cycles (range, 3-14 cycles). The 9-month DCR was 58.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 40.8-74.5), the median PFS was 8.8 months (95% CI, 6.7-10.3 months), and the median OS was 20.8 months (95% CI, 16.1-25.4 months). With the CAPOX/Bev regimen, the most common grade 3 toxicity included neutropenia (11.1%), diarrhea (5.5%), nausea/vomiting (2.8%), and fatigue (2.8%). Grade 3 neurotoxicity was not observed. With Cap/Bev maintenance therapy, grade 3 hand-foot syndrome was observed in 2 patients (6.0%). Conclusion: CAPOX/Bev, followed by Cap/Bev as maintenance treatment, is safe and effective in terms of PFS and OS for elderly patients aged > 75 years with mCRC.

Abstract

The CAPOX/Bev (capecitabine plus oxaliplatin and bevacizumab) regimen has previously shown efficacy for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Data on the efficacy and safety of CAPOX/Bev, followed by maintenance capecitabine and bevacizumab for elderly patients with mCRC, are limited. The present small study has shown that CAPOX/Bev, followed by maintenance capecitabine and Bev is safe and effective for mCRC patients aged > 75 years. Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of CAPOX-Bev (capecitabine [Cap] plus oxaliplatin and bevacizumab [Bev]), followed by maintenance Cap and Bev, for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and aged > 75 years. Patients and Methods: The regimen consisted of intravenous oxaliplatin 130 to 100 mg/m2 on day 1, oral Cap 750 to 1000 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1 to 14, and Bev 7.5 mg/kg on day 1, every 3 weeks. After 4 cycles of CAPOX-Bev, the patients without evidence of disease progression received maintenance treatment with Cap 1000 to 1250 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1 to 14 and Bev 7.5 mg/kg on day 1, every 3 weeks, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was the 9-month disease control rate. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety were the secondary endpoints. Results: Overall, 36 patients were enrolled from March 2012 to April 2017 at our institution. After completion of CAPOX/Bev, 15 patients (41.7%) had a partial response, 18 (50.0%) had stable disease, and 3 (8.3%) had progressive disease. Thirty-three patients (91.7%) received the Cap/Bev regimen as maintenance treatment for a median of 8.6 cycles (range, 3-14 cycles). The 9-month DCR was 58.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 40.8-74.5), the median PFS was 8.8 months (95% CI, 6.7-10.3 months), and the median OS was 20.8 months (95% CI, 16.1-25.4 months). With the CAPOX/Bev regimen, the most common grade 3 toxicity included neutropenia (11.1%), diarrhea (5.5%), nausea/vomiting (2.8%), and fatigue (2.8%). Grade 3 neurotoxicity was not observed. With Cap/Bev maintenance therapy, grade 3 hand-foot syndrome was observed in 2 patients (6.0%). Conclusion: CAPOX/Bev, followed by Cap/Bev as maintenance treatment, is safe and effective in terms of PFS and OS for elderly patients aged > 75 years with mCRC.
