Purpose Preclinical data has demonstrated the potential of simvastatin to overcome cetuximab resistance in KRAS mutant CRC patients. Therefore, we designed a study using simvastatin/cetuximab/irinotecan for KRAS mutant CRC patients who are refractory to irinotecan and oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Patients and methods In this phase II study, patients received 500 mg/m(2) cetuximab, 150-180 mg/m(2) (day 1), and 80 mg simvastatin (once daily, days 1-14, every 2 weeks). The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), the disease control rate (DCR), and safety. We also analyzed the relationship between the RAS gene expression signature score and treatment response to simvastatin/cetuximab/irinotecan. Results Fifty-two KRAS mutant CRC patients were enrolled. The ORR (complete response [CR], 0; partial response [PR], 1) was 1.9 % (95 % confidence interval [CI], -1.8-5.6). The DCR (CR, 0; PR, 1; stable disease, 33) was 65.4 % (95 % CI, 52.5-78.3). The median PFS and OS from the time of study drug administration were 7 center dot 6 months (95 % CI, 4.4-10.8) and 12.8 months (95 % CI, 9.5-16.2), respectively. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were anemia (28.8 %), neutropenia (13.5 %), and diarrhea (7.7 %). The RAS signature score was significantly correlated with the maximal change in target lesions from baseline (r = 0.57, P = 0.014). Conclusion The simvastatin/cetuximab/irinotecan regimen showed promising efficacy and safety in KRAS mutant CRC patients who failed irinotecan and oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. The RAS signature may be a novel predictor of treatment response to cetuximab-combined chemotherapy in CRC patients.
