Background
• Aflibercept – Soluble fusion protein
– Consists of portion of extracellular domains of human VEGF receptors 1 and 2 fused to human IgG1 Fc portion
– Binds all VEGF-A isoforms, VEGF-B and PlGF
• VELOUR study clinical results presented at World GI – this review summarizes that clinical data and the subgroup analyses presented at ESMO

STUDY COMMENTARY
• Adding aflibercept to FOLFIRI in mCRC in 2nd Line mCRC in OS and PFS benefits :– statistically significant but of questionable
clinical significance
• However there were signifcant toxicities associated with FOLFIRI and aflibercept

www.OncologyEducation.com
BOTTOM LINE FOR MEDICAL ONCOLOGISTS
• Given the 6 wk improvement in OS in the face of significant toxicities, aflibercept has a poor therapeutic ratio
• In addition – given the Canadian standard of first line FOLFIRI – ? how to extrapolate results of this trial
(efficacy and toxicity) to use with second line FOLFOX

Part 2:Subset Analyses of Patients
Previously Treated With Bevacizumab
![Page 12: Www.OncologyEducation.com ECCO ESMO 2011 GI Cancer Updates “ VELOUR” Study Author: J Tabernero et al Reviewed by: Dr. Scott Berry Date posted: October.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649d085503460f949da14c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Background
• Non-randomized data from the BRiTE observational study suggested that bevacizumab post progression first line might be beneficial to patients (Grothey, JCO, 2008) – This observation needs to be confirmed in a
randomized study

Background (cont’d)
• This is the first randomized study of a 2nd line VEGF inhibitor where some patients had been treated previously with Bevacizumab – Although this will not give a definitive answer, the
subset analyses of patients previously treated with bev in this study can provide some insight into whether there might be merit in continuing VEGF inhibition post progression

Pre-Specified Subgroup Analyses
• Goal: to confirm consistency of the effect of aflibercept on OS and PFS
• Methodology: impact assessment on pre-specified subgroups:
– FOCUS ON : Stratification factors •Prior bevacizumab

Methodology for Pre-Specified Subgroups Analyses
• For each parameter, a Cox Proportional Hazard Model was used for the overall population, including the parameter, the treatment effect and the treatment by parameter interaction.
• Interactions between treatment and each subgroup were tested at the 2-sided 10% level– ie, a p-value > 0.1 indicates no evidence of
heterogeneity of treatment effect across the subgroups for each factor.
• Safety was analyzed according to prior treatment with bevacizumab

Summing Up
Pre-planned subgroup analyses supported consistency and of the efficacy results across all domains, including prior treatment with bevacizumab.
•Prior treatment with bevacizumab does not appear to significantly impact the safety profile of aflibercept
•This subset analyses supports the observations from the BRiTE study regarding the potential benefit of contiued VEGF inhibiton after progression on a VEGF inhibitor
•The first definitive answer will come next year at ASCO from the German randomized study outlined on the next slide
