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.
Reported as time to progression.
