• Subject with metastatic carcinoma of the colon or rectum with at least one metastatic site recorded
• Subject with initially non resectable mCRC at the start of panitumumab plus chemotherapy treatment
• Subject who was diagnosed with a tumour, assessed by CT/MRI etc. prior to panitumumab plus chemotherapy initiation
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed carcinoma of the colon or rectum as the primary site
• Subject ≥ 18 years of age on the date of enrolment
• Subjects whose care will be managed primarily by the enrolling physician and/ or all records will be available from initiation of 1st line panitumumab plus chemotherapy treatment to end of safety follow up

Study design details

Main study objective

To obtain characteristics of subjects with WT RAS non resectable mCRC receiving panitumumab in combination with chemotherapy as a 1 st line treatment, and to describe the patterns of treatment, including 1 st and 2nd line therapies.

Outcomes

The following data will be collected:demographics: age, sex, targeted medical history: type of primary tumour, date of diagnosis, site of primary tumour: rectum vs colon, right vs left colon, surgical procedures, lymph nodes: number and involvement, TNM stage, adjuvant chemotherapy, including regimen, sites, Response to 1st line treatment Safety assessments: ADR reports Prophylaxis treatment for skin toxicity Questionnaire FACT-EGFRI-18 if permitted in a country per local regulations.

Data analysis plan

The baseline data will be summarized using descriptive statistics for subjects with mCRC who received panitumumab in combination with chemotherapy as 1st line treatment according to the type of chemotherapy received. The data will be summarized for the total study population divided by the type of chemotherapy received: FOLFOX, FOLFIRI and others. The data will be summarized for the total study population and per country. Counts and percentages will be provided. Continuous outcomes will be summarized by the number of non-missing values, mean, standard deviation, median, lower and upper quartiles and minimum and maximum values. Time to event data alalysis using Kaplan Meier estimator. The eCRFs will be designed to minimise missing data and to optimise the integrity of collected data. Subjects’ records will not be excluded because of missing data and missing data will not be inputted. For categorical variables, missing responses will be shown as a separate category in the analysis.
