Any upside to frontline mFOLFOXIRI-panitumumab in mCRC?
In patients with unresectable RAS and BRAF wildtype metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), a modified FOLFOXIRI plus panitumumab (mFOLFOXIRI/PAN*) treatment strategy in the first-line setting did not improve objective response rate (ORR) compared with FOLFOX plus panitumumab (mFOLFOX6/PAN**), results of the phase III TRIPLETE study showed.
