  1. Niall C. Tebbutt International randomised phase III study of capecitabine, bevacizumab, and mitomycin C in first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer: Final results of AGITG MAX study

  2. The MAX study: final results Authors: Niall C. Tebbutt, Val Gebski, Kate Wilson, Michelle Cummins, YuJo Chua, Bridget Robinson, Adam Broad, David Cunningham, John Simes, Timothy Price; on behalf of the Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Trials Group (AGITG) Funding: MAX was an investigator-initiated study sponsored by AGITG, supported by Roche Products Pty Ltd, and coordinated independently at the NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre, University of Sydney.

  3. Background • Adding bevacizumab to oxaliplatin- or irinotecan-based doublet chemotherapy has shown benefit for patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). • Some patients may not be suitable for oxaliplatin or irinotecan based regimens because of comorbidities. Other patients may not require initial treatment with combination chemotherapy. • Capecitabine ± mitomycin C (MMC) is an alternative, convenient chemotherapy regimen with a generally favourable toxicity profile in the Australasian population. • This study evaluated the impact of the addition of bevacizumab ± MMC to capecitabine in patients with advanced CRC.

  4. MAX study objective To identify a low-toxicity regimen suitable for a broad population of patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer.

  5. Study schema Metastatic CRC (suitable for capecitabine monotherapy)stratified by: d1 d8 d15 d22 R A N D O M I S E C capecitabine* • Age, ≥65 vs <65 • PS, 0,1 vs 2 • Capecitabine dose • Institution CB capecitabine* Disease progression bevacizumab† bevacizumab† CBM capecitabine* bevacizumab† bevacizumab† + mitomycin C‡ * 1.25 or 1 g/m2 bd q3w; † 7.5 mg/kg q3w; ‡7 mg/m2 q 6w max 4 doses Interim safety analysis by IDSM after 60 and 150 patients completed 2 cycles.

  6. Eligibility • Histologically confirmed, unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer • no prior chemotherapy, other than adjuvant therapy with no relapse for 6 months • suitable for capecitabine monotherapy • adequate organ function • life expectancy at least 12 weeks • ECOG PS 0-2 • informed consent

  7. Primary endpoint • Progression-free survival • The study was designed to detect a difference in median progression-free survival from 5.5 months in arm C to 8 months arm CB or CBM at P<0.025 with 80% power (450 patients required). • Analysis was by intention-to-treat.

  8. response rate toxicity overall survival quality of life Secondary endpoints • Response RECIST assessed every 6 weeks. • Toxicity (NCIC CTCAE v 3.0) analyses by treatment received. • Quality of life assessed at 3, 6, 9, 12 weeks, then 6 weekly, with UBQ-C, CAQ, EQ-5D.

When the rate was adjusted for duration of treatment (average cycles: C, 8.4; CB, 10.9; CBM, 10.7), the rate of HFS was no higher in CB or CBM than C (unadjusted OR for HFS: CB vs C was 1.85, for CBM v C was 2.02 (P=0.03), and after adjustment, these were 1.30 and 1.39, respectively (P=0.40)).

  20. Conclusions • All treatment regimens were well tolerated. • Adding bevacizumab, with or without mitomycin C, to capecitabine significantly improves progression-free survival without causing major additional toxicity or impairment of quality of life. • Overall survival results were not significantly different between arms, but are promising for a relatively older patient cohort. • Capecitabine and bevacizumab, with or without mitomycin C, is an active, low-toxicity regimen that may be considered as a treatment option for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
