Udhayvir Grewal Shares New Article on HER2 Prognostic Impact in mCRC

Udhayvir Grewal, Resident Physician at Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport, shared a post on X about a recent article by Marco Maria Germani and colleagues:

“Largest pooled RCT analysis (N=1,604; TRIBE2, TRIPLETE, VALENTINO, ATEZOTRIBE, PANDA, PANAMA, PARADIGM, CALGB/SWOG80405) confirms their negative prognostic impact of HER2 alterations in mCRC no predictive role for biologics.

HER2 amplification/over-expression (~5%): shorter PFS (9.8 vs 12.2 mo; HR 1.31, p=.02) and OS (28.0 vs 34.9 mo; HR 1.37, p=.01), similar ORR (75% vs 72%).

HER2 mutations (~2%): shorter OS (23.7 vs 34.4 mo; HR 1.56, p=.04), no differential benefit from anti-EGFR or bevacizumab.

In left-sided HER2+ tumors, outcomes were similar with chemo+bevacizumab vs chemo+anti-EGFR.

Takeway:

HER2 status is a negative prognostic factor in pMMR/MSS RAS/BRAF WT mCRC. It should not guide the frontline choice between anti-vascular vs anti-EGFR therapy.

Does this change practice for you?”
