Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression free survival

    PFS will be calculated from date of commencing treatment to date of progression or death from any cause (whichever is sooner). Time of progression will be determined clinically or radiologically by the participant's treating oncologist.

    March 2023

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Overall survival

    March 2023

  • Objective response rate

    8-12 weeks post commencement of treatment

  • Disease control rate

    8-12 weeks post commencement of treatment

Study Arms (2)

Retrospective cohort

Patients with advanced colorectal cancer previously treated with an anti-EGFR agent (panitumumab or cetuximab).

Diagnostic Test: Immunohistochemistry

Prospective cohort

Patients with advanced colorectal cancer newly starting treatment with an anti-EGFR agent (panitumumab or cetuximab).

Diagnostic Test: Immunohistochemistry

Interventions

ImmunohistochemistryDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients with RAS-wt aCRC who received or are receiving standard care palliative treatment with an anti-EGFR agent and chemotherapy of physician's choice. Within the retrospective cohort, patients who received single agent anti-EGFR therapy under previous Cancer Drugs Fund criteria will be accepted.

You may qualify if:

  • Biopsy proven advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma at time treatment commenced (either inoperable metastatic disease at diagnosis or inoperable recurrent disease)
  • Aged 18 or over at time treatment commenced
  • The patient has received or has consented to receive treatment with cetuximab or panitumumab

You may not qualify if:

  • Stage I, II or III colorectal adenocarcinoma
  • RAS mutant disease
  • Eligible for potentially curative surgery (prospective cohort)
  • Underwent cancer surgery subsequent to anti-EGFR therapy (retrospective cohort)
  • Unable to provide informed consent (with the exception of patients in the retrospective cohort who have passed away)
