| Therapy Name | Cetuximab + Fluorouracil + Irinotecan + Leucovorin |
| Synonyms | Cetuximab + FOLFIRI |
| Therapy Description | |
Filtering
- Case insensitive filtering will display rows where any text in any cell matches the filter term
- Simple literal full or partial string matches
- Separate multiple filter terms with a spaces, order doesn't matter (a b c and c b a are equivalent )
- Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page, filtering has no impact on query parameters
- Use quotes to match a longer phrase which contains spaces "mtor c1483f"
Sorting
- Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending, however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
- Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
- Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column, be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column, before moving on to the next column.
| Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cetuximab | Erbitux | IMC-C225 | EGFR Antibody 31 | Erbitux (cetuximab) is a monoclonal antibody directed against EGFR, which inhibits signal transduction and cell proliferation (PMID: 28695301). Erbitux (cetuximab) is FDA approved for use in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and KRAS wild-type, EGFR positive colorectal cancer (FDA.gov). |
| Fluorouracil | Adrucil | 5-FU | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 13 | Adrucil (fluorouracil) is an antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent, which interferes with DNA and RNA synthesis thereby preventing cancer cell growth and is FDA approved for colorectal, breast, stomach, and pancreatic cancer (FDA.gov). |
| Irinotecan | Camptosar | CPT-11|Onivyde | TOPO1 inhibitor 8 | Camptosar (irinotecan) inhibits Topoisomerase-I activity, resulting in inhibition of DNA replication, and potentially leading to cell death and is indicated as a component of first-line therapy in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin for patients with metastatic or recurrent colorectal carcinoma (FDA.gov). |
| Leucovorin | Wellcovorin | Calcium folinate|Calcium citrovorum factor|folinic acid | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 13 | Wellcovorin (leucovorin) is a metabolite of folate that enhances the efficacy of fluoruracil (PMID: 32490554). |

| Molecular Profile | Indication/Tumor Type | Response Type | Therapy Name | Approval Status | Evidence Type | Efficacy Evidence | References |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NRAS mutant | colorectal cancer | no benefit | Cetuximab + Fluorouracil + Irinotecan + Leucovorin | Phase III | Actionable | In a retrospective analysis of a Phase III trial, the combination of Erbitux (cetuximab) and FOLFIRI did not demonstrate an improved clinical benefit compared to FOLFIRI alone in colorectal cancer patients with RAS mutations (PMID: 25605843). | 25605843 |
| NRAS wild-type | colorectal cancer | predicted - sensitive | Cetuximab + Fluorouracil + Irinotecan + Leucovorin | Phase III | Actionable | In a Phase III trial, the combination of Erbitux (cetuximab) and FOLFIRI demonstrated a significant clinical benefit in OS, PFS, and objective response compared to FOLFIRI alone in colorectal cancer patients with RAS wild-type status (PMID: 25605843). | 25605843 |
