  26. EGFR inhibitors in mCRC: questions & challenges • Optimal cytotoxic partner? • Optimal setting: more advanced disease or first line treatment? • Predictive markers for response and activity? • Selection of patients? • Prediction of and decreasing toxicity? • Relevance of correlation skin toxicity and efficacy • What is the clinical significance of increased resection rate of metastases with cetuximab in first line ? • Can EGFR antibodies be combined with other biologics? • bevacizumab? • How can we explain negative results of chemo + bevacizumab and panitumumab in first line? • Economic burden

  27. Patient Selection After EGFR Inhibitors • Skin rash • EGFR - IHC • Downstream markers? • Gene Mutations • KRAS • EGFR gene copy number, as assessed by FISH ? • Ligands: amphiregulin, epiregulin • …

  31. Anti-EGFR antibodies in first line treatment of mCRC • Specific issues/questions? • Do anti-EGFR antibodies increase the activity of chemotherapy in first line? yes (cetuximab trial), but which subgroup? no data in comparison with bevacizumab • Do anti-EGFR antibodies increase the toxicity? yes Is the toxicity in first line acceptable? Is there an interaction between panitumumab and bevacizumab? • Is KRAS a predictive marker for activity in first line in combination with chemotherapy? more data expected • Does cetuximab increase the resection rate in first line metastatic CRC? probably yes

  32. EGFR inhibitors in CRC • Are EGFR inhibitors an option in first line treatment of mCRC? • Probably yes • For who? • Biomarker or clinically driven selection? • Data: • Cetuximab • Panitumumab under evalution • Are EGFR inhibitors today a standard treatment in first line mCRC? • No
