The VOLFI study is a phase II trial comparing modified FOLFOXIRI plus panitumumab to mFOLFOXIRI. The study showed an improved overall response rate (ORR) of 87.3% v 60.6% (odds ratio, 4.469; 95% CI, 1.61 to 12.38; P = .004). The secondary resection rate was also improved with the addition of panitum...

Expectedly, the additional benefit observed with the triplet regimen comes with increased toxicities (Falcone et al., PMID 1...
