Learning Objectives Know the current trend for treatment of advanced colorectal cancer Know the current status of personalized medicine in advanced CRC Know the differences between left vs right sided colon cancer
CRC US statistics: Impact of CRC 3 rd highest incidence rate (~135,000/yr) 2 nd highest mortality rate (~49,000/yr) CRC Global statistics: 3 rd highest incidence rate ( ~ 1.2million/yr) 4 th highest mortality rate (~608,000/yr) The burden of disease is clearly evident
A High Number of Agents Is Currently Available for the Treatment of mcrc 5-FU Capecitabine Irinotecan Oxaliplatin Bevacizumab Cetuximab Regorafenib Aflibercept Panitumumab TAS-102 Ramucirumab BSC

Tools for Treatment Selection Age PS Comorbidities Tumor burden Potential for cure? Symptoms? Tumor location Clinical Markers Molecular Markers Histologic grade CEA KRAS NRAS BRAF MSI/MMR Patient characteristics + Tumor characteristics
Questions How can biologics be used to their full potential? Prognostic markers -Biomarker that correlates with clinical outcome regardless of therapy Predictive markers-biomarker that is associated with the likelihood of response to therapy Can a patient population be identified which would benefit most from one specific treatment strategy?

MSI-high CRC and Immune Checkpoint Blockade
Background In non selected colorectal cancer patients PD- 1 blockade seems to be ineffective. Average tumor has dozens of somatic mutations. Mismatch repair deficient tumors harbor thousands of mutations Somatic mutations have the potential to generate neo-antigiens which can be recognized by immune system.
Clinical Trial Design: Basket Trial Colorectal Cancer Noncolorectal Cancer Group A Mismatch-repair proficient (n = 25) Group B Mismatch-repair deficient (n = 25) Group C Mismatch-repair deficient (n = 21) Anti PD-1 antibody (Pembrolizumab): 10 mg/kg q 2 week Primary endpoint: Immune-related ORR and the 20-week immune-related PFS rate Mismatch-repair status was assessed in tumors with the use of the MSI Analysis System MSI, Microsatellite Instability Analysis System Le DT, et al.

Summary VEGF and EGFR mabs competing for first-line patients in RAS wt CRC For anti-egfr treatment, all RAS tests are required Primary tumor location is related to effect of cetuximab Bevacizumab, Ramucirumab and Aflibercept competing for second-line patients with each other, and with EGFR mabs in KRAS wt CRC
Summary Best sequence of therapies (VEGFi vs EGFRi) still to be established Regorafenib and TAS 102 as salvage therapy option Checkpoint inhibitors are highly active in select molecular subsets Rationale combination maybe able to covert cold tumor to hot tumor
