KRAS WT retrospectively examined

First-line mCRC56 48 29 Ctx dose-escalation (400 to 700 mg/m2) q2w followed by Ctx + FOLFIRI WT, 55 Mut, 32 WT, 9.4 Mut, 5.6 NR

Failed first-line fluoropyrimidine/ oxaliplatin regimens for mCRC61 31 8 Ctx 500 mg/m2 q2w + irinotecan NR WT, 2.6* Mut, 1.7* WT, 14.1 Mut, 5.5

5-FU = 5-fluorouracil; Ctx = cetuximab; FOLFIRI = 5-fluorouracil + leucovorin + irinotecan; mCRC = metastatic colorectal cancer; Mut = KRAS mutant; NR = not reported; ORR = overall response rate; OS = overall survival; PFS = progression-free survival; q2w = every 2 weeks; WT = wild-type.
