MDOutlook proudly presents the second study on the clinical impact of new data presented at ASCO 2015. This OncoPoll™ includes analyses from 2 studies in Gastrointestinal Cancers involving more than 160 oncologists.
Our MD/PhD research team reports the following analysis highlights:
Non-CRC GI Cancers
- Anti-PD-1 antibodies are expected to have a large impact for selected patients with Gastric, Esophageal and Hepatocellular Cancers
- At current drug costs, only average value is placed on these agents in GI cancers (lower than what is seen for NSCLC)
- 75% of the respondents expect the PEGH20 addition to have intermediate or high clinical impact on the treatment of pancreatic cancer
- Regorafenib will be widely used in advanced G/GEJ cancers upon regulatory approval
Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
- The immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) are going to have a very significant impact on the treatment landscape for MMR-deficient mCRC
– Over a quarter of mCRC patients with this deficiency are expected to receive this treatment almost immediately
– Most mCRC patients will now be tested for an MMR deficiency - At today’s prices, physicians see good value in using the anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for mCRC
- Combining BRAF+/-MEK inhibitors with anti-EGFR antibodies is initially seen to have only a limited impact on the treatment of BRAF-mutated CRC
