Therapeutic value No estimate possible yet
Substantiation De eindpunten van de klinische studie werden behaald. Patiënten die met fruquintinib behandeld werden behaalden een mediane overall survival van 7,4 maanden (95% CI, 6.7-8.2) versus 4,8 maanden (95% CI, 4.0-5.8) met placebo (HR, 0.662; 95% CI, 0.549-0.800; P < .001). Daarnaast leidde de behandeling met fruquintinib tot een PFS van 3,7 maanden (95% CI, 3.5-3.8) versus 1,8 maanden (95% CI, 1.8-1.9) met placebo (HR, 0.321; 95% CI, 0.267-0.386; P<.001).

Additional remarks Gemetastaseerde coloncarcinoom betreft 2.085 patiënten in stadium 4 en gemetastaseerde rectumcarcinoom betreft 612 patiënten in stadium 4 in 2021. Samen gaat het dus om maximaal 2.697 patiënten in de eerstelijns. Er wordt verwacht dat er maximaal 500 patiënten in aanmerking komen op basis van gebruikersaantallen van Lonsurf. Dit volume zal lager uit vallen doordat het later in de lijn wordt ingezet.
