Triplet (FOLFOXIRI) Versus Doublet (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) Regimen as First Line Treatment in Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma, a Prospective Phase II, Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The outcomes of treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is still unsatisfactory. Several trials approved that, the upfront treatment with triplet regimen included fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan and oxaliplatin improved the outcomes of patients with metastatic disease as compared to standard doublet regimen. The objective of our study is evaluating the impact of upfront treatment with triplet (FOLFOXIRI) regimen on both oncological outcomes (response rate and survival) and patients' tolerability in comparison to the standard doublet regimen.

Methods

We randomly enrolled 64 patients with a newly diagnosed unresectable mCRC to receive either FOLFOXIRI (experimental arm) or FOLFIRI or FOLFOX4 (control arm) biweekly up to 12 cycles. The primary endpoints
