First-Line FOLFOX Plus SIRT Versus FOLFOX for Unselected Patients With Liver-Only or Liver-Dominant Metastases and Limited Extrahepatic Metastases19
Outcome | Study Results | Absolute Effect Estimates | Quality of Evidence | Plain Language Summary | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
FOLFOX | First-Line FOLFOX + SIRT | ||||
OS | HR, 1.04 (95% CI, 0.90 to 1.19) (1,103 participants in three studies) | 749 deaths per 1,000 | 763 deaths per 1,000 | Lowa,b | FOLFOX plus SIRT probably has little or no effect on OS compared with FOLFOX alone |
Difference: 14 more per 1,000 (95% CI, 37 fewer to 58 more) | |||||
PFS | HR, 0.90 (95% CI, 0.79 to 1.02) (1,103 participants in three studies) | 851 deaths or progressions per 1,000 | 82 deaths or progressions per 1, 000 | Lowa,b | FOLFOX plus SIRT probably has little or no effect on PFS, compared with FOLFOX alone |
Difference: 31 fewer per 1,000 (95% CI, 73 fewer to 6 more) | |||||
Grade ≥ 3 AEs | OR, 1.42 (95% CI, 1.09 to 1.85) (1,078 participants in three studies) | 670 events per 1,000 | 742 events per 1,000 | Moderatea | FOLFOX plus SIRT worsens grade ≥ 3 adverse events during treatment, compared with FOLFOX alone |
Difference: 72 more per 1,000 (95% CI, 19 more to 120 more) |
Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; FOLFOX, folinic acid, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin; HR, hazard ratio; OR, odds ratio; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; SIRT, selective internal radiation therapy.
Downgrade: indirectness (38% with extrahepatic metastases).
Downgrade: imprecision.
