Clinical outcomes and ctDNA correlates for CAPOX BETR: a phase II trial of capecitabine, oxaliplatin, bevacizumab, trastuzumab in previously untreated advanced HER2+ gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Preclinical studies suggest that simultaneous HER2/VEGF blockade may have cooperative effects in gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas. In a single-arm investigator initiated clinical trial for patients with untreated advanced HER2+ gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, bevacizumab was added to standard of care capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and trastuzumab in 36 patients (NCT01191697). Primary endpoint was objective response rate and secondary endpoints included safety, duration of response, progression free survival, and overall survival. The study met its primary endpoint with an objective response rate of 81% (95% CI 65-92%). Median progression free and overall survival were 14.0 (95% CI, 11.3-36.4) and 23.2 months (95% CI, 16.6-36.4), respectively. The median duration of response was 14.9 months. T
