KRAS G13D mutation testing and anti-egfr therapy
KRAS G13D mutation and anti-egfr therapy Current data do not support a need to specifically identify this mutation for assessing anti-egfr eligibility in mcrc Anti-EGFR treatment should not be used in patients with the KRAS G13D mutation Clinical data on the response of patients with G13D mutations to anti-egfr treatment are insufficient to change treatment practice Preclinical data should not be used to draw clinical conclusions Product labeling and guidelines continue to recommend anti- EGFR treatment only in patients with wild-type KRAS Data are limited, retrospective and conflicting Largest dataset: no consistent association of G13D and treatment benefit of panitumumab No statistically significant benefit in adding cetuximab in patients with G13D mcrc Other data refute the suggestion that G13D does respond to cetuximab mcrc, metastatic colorectal cancer Activating EGFR mutation (G719S) present in SW48 cell line used in De Roock et al (2010) paper Unknown how this affects sensitivity to cetuximab February 27, 2013 page 2 2012 Roche Taking recent data into account, latest NCCN guidelines support current labeling for use of panitumumab or cetuximab only in wild-type KRAS mcrc No changes have been made to the labeling of cetuximab or panitumumab: use only in wild-type KRAS mcrc
