Overview
• Brief review of stop versus go trials
– COIN
– OPTIMOX1 and 2
– DREAM
– CAIRO-3
• Challenges to interpretation of these studies
• Strategies for clinical decision making
Common Clinical Decisions
• What is optimal management of mCRC post-induction
chemo?
• How long to continue induction systemic rx?
• Should maintenance therapy:
–
–
–
–
–
Be identical to induction?
Drop oxaliplatin?
Include 5FU/Bev?
Bev alone, Bev/erlotinib?
No maintenance?
• How long is it reasonable to continue chemo breaks?
Stop and Go Strategies for PostInduction Systemic Therapy Are Not
All Created Equal
Strategy for post-induction
systemic treatment for mCRC
patients who do not have PD
Plan to alternate intense/light
phases of treatment..eg 2 months
on 2 months off systematically
Eliminate the most toxic ingredient
eg oxaliplatin or irinotecan but
restart the more intense regimen at
progression
Eliminate cytotoxics and continue
biologics
Eliminate all therapy….true “holiday”
Example trial that uses this
strategy
GISCAD
OPTIMOX-1
DREAM/OPTIMOX-3, SAKK
OPTIMOX 2, CAIRO-3
Stop and Go Trials’ Heterogeneity
Makes them Challenging to Compare
• Different induction regimens/durations
• Different maintenance regimens/durations
• Various endpoints
•
•
•
1st PFS interval, 2nd PFS interval
Duration of disease control
OS
• Monitoring strategy influences PFS assessment
• CEA frequency
• Scan frequency

CAPOX or FOLFOX until PD vs. CAPOX/FOLFOX for 12 weeks with reinitiation of same chemo at progression for another 12 weeks
Median off-treatment duration with intermittent therapy was 4.3 months
Significantly fewer adverse events
Overall survival was similar in both groups
Intermittent strategy didn’t meet non-inferiority threshold

Median duration of maintenance therapy = 4.8 months in the arm 1
Median duration of chemotherapy free interval = 3.9 months in arm 2.
Chibaudel B et al. JCO 2009;27:5727-5733
OPTIMOX 2: Go and Full Stop
A chemotherapy holiday with no maintenance therapy has significantly worse
PFS compared to maintenance therapy (allowing for attenuating oxaliplatin).
Overall survival trend also favors maintenance therapy but is not significant

Metanalysis
•
•
•
•
Includes 10 trials, but not CAIRO3
Notes heterogeneity of stop/go strategies
Variation in maintenance regimens
Inconclusive as to benefits
Evidence Summary from Trials
• No strategy is clearly superior
• The preponderance of evidence favors some
form of maintenance therapy
• Reasonable to drop the oxaliplatin
(OPTIMOX-1)—low threshold to do so
• Reasonable to continue 5FU-B (CAIRO)
Gompertzian Model of Tumor Growth
and Norton–Simon hypothesis
The Norton-Simon hypothesis states
that the rate of cancer cell death in
response to treatment is directly
proportional to the tumor growth rate at
the time of treatment.
Schmidt C JNCI J Natl Cancer Inst 2004;96:1492-1493
Factors to Consider in Counseling mCRC
patients about “Chemo Holidays”
Tilt towards maintenance:
• Continued response could result
in candidacy for R0 resection
• Major/brisk/ongoing response
• More symptoms from cancer
than from chemotherapy
• Easy to track disease status—
CEA or measurable disease
• mCRC is primary threat to
survival
• Tolerates chemotherapy well
• Prefers intensive management
Tilt towards true holiday
• Will never be a candidate for
R0 resection
• Stable disease/slow response
• Minimal disease burden
• Tolerates therapy poorly
• Major comorbidity
• Prefers less
intensive/interventionist
management
Viewpoint
• We are saturated on maintenance regimen trials
• Time to tailor strategies to disease biology
• If biology doesn’t provide a clear cut signal-- patient
preference is the key issue
• Better understanding of resistance mechanisms and
genomics should enable us to distinguish low vs. high
grade tumors with greater accuracy
Are further trials of continuous versus
intermittent treatment important?
• With current agents, seems unlikely that
additional trials will provide greater
clarity
• May yield some insight from subgroup
analyses based on genomic
charachteristics of mCRC
• genomic analyses of olecular subtypes
by continuous vs. intermittent strategy
