PARADIGM

  1. Design:
    • Randomized, open-label, phase 3 clinical trial
    • Multi-center trial conducted at ↣ 197 sites in Japan
    • Tested the effect of adding panitumumab vs bevacizumab to standard first-line chemotherapy
    • Primary endpoint: overall survival
    • Secondary endpoints: progression-free survival, response rate, duration of response, and curative resection rate
  2. Number of patients: 823 patients
    • 802 patients in the as-treated population
  3. Patients characteristics:
    • Chemotherapy-naive RAS wild-type, unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer
    • Median age: 66 years
    • 35.2% women
    • 604 (75.3%) had left-sided tumors
  4. Agent:
    • Panitumumab (an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody) or bevacizumab (an anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody)
    • Given with modified fluorouracil, l-leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) every 14 days
  5. Treatment line: First-line chemotherapy
  6. Trial Name: NCT02394795
  7. Comparison of two groups (panitumumab vs bevacizumab) in the as-treated population:

Curative resection rate - Overall population16.5%10.9%5.6% (1.0% to 10.3%)
  • Overall survival: Panitumumab vs bevacizumab
    • Left-sided tumors: median overall survival of 37.9 months vs 34.3 months, hazard ratio for death, 0.82 (95.798% CI, 0.68-0.99; P = 0.03)
    • Overall population: median overall survival of 36.2 months vs 31.3 months, hazard ratio for death, 0.84 (95% CI, 0.72-0.98; P = 0.03)
