  • Description: <jats:p> 654 </jats:p><jats:p> Background: Panitumumab and cetuximab can be used in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and these drugs are IgG2 fully human and IgG1 chimeric (mouse/human) monoclonal antibody against the epidermal growth hactor receptor (EGFR) respectively. The efficacy of panitumumab as a salvage chemotherapy after cetuximab-based chemotherapy failure is not clarified. </jats:p><jats:p> Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the panitumumab efficacy to KRAS wild-type mCRC patients who failed cetuximab-based chemotherapy. Response, progression-free survival (PFS) and serum tumor marker level (CEA and CA19-9), were assesed. We studied response by days from last cetuximab-based chemotherapy to panitumumab induction (C-P days). </jats:p><jats:p> Results: 22 patients (11 men, 11 women, median age 54 years m4 0-78 n) were enrolled. All of thease patients were cetuximab-based chemotherapy refractory KRAS wild-type mCRC. After progression, they received panitumumab monotherapy (6 mg/kg every 2 weeks).The best response was SD 10/22 (45.5%), PD 11/22 (50%) and NE 1/22 (4.5%). Overall median PFS was 90 days (13 to 182). The patients C-P days less than 30 days were 15 patients(5:SD, 10:PD). The patients more than 79 days were 7 patient(5:SD, 1:PD, 1:NE). Serum tumor marker level was decreased more than 50% patients. </jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions: This study suggested that it might be limited as possibility of clinical benefit with panitumumab administration after cetuximab failure. </jats:p>
