BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the presence of diabetes mellitus (DM) influences the incidence, severity, and/or course of peripheral sensory neuropathy (PSN) after oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) therapy in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS: A retrospective pooled analysis incorporating three phase III studies was conducted: Multicenter International Study of Oxaliplatin, 5-Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin in the Adjuvant Treatment of Colon Cancer (MOSAIC) (adjuvant treatment; stage II/III colon cancer), EFC4584 (second-line treatment; metastatic CRC), and EFC2962 (first-line treatment; metastatic CRC). Patients were ineligible for the studies if they had known PSN (EFC4584) or PSN grade >/=1 (MOSAIC and EFC2962) at baseline. The incidence of PSN was evaluated retrospectively in patient subgroups with or without DM at baseline that received FOLFOX. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess the probability of PSN with increasing cumulative oxaliplatin dose. RESULTS: Of 1587 patients enrolled across the three studies, 135 (8.5%) had DM at baseline. The incidence of PSN (non-DM/DM) was 45.0%/46.7% (grade 1), 28.6%/26.7% (grade 2), and 13.0%/12.6% (grade 3). The probability of PSN by cumulative dose of oxaliplatin was similar in DM and non-DM patients. CONCLUSIONS: This retrospective analysis indicates that oxaliplatin-based therapy does not influence the incidence, severity, or time to onset of PSN in asymptomatic DM patients with CRC who meet eligibility criteria for clinical trials.
