About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Study of Modified FOLFOX6 (Infusional 5-Fluorouracil/Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin) and Bevacizumab With or Without Cetuximab in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This trial will evaluate the combination of modified infusional 5-fluorouracil/ leucovorin, oxaliplatin (FOLFOX6), bevacizumab, and cetuximab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. FOLFOX6 has proven to be a safe and effective regimen in first line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. The role of epidermal growth factor (EGFR) inhibitors in an earlier treatment setting in combination with optimal chemotherapy regimens is an important emerging question.

Read the detailed description

All patients received cetuximab: 400 mg/m2 (first cycle only) administered intravenously (IV) on day 1 and 250 mg/m2 IV on day 8 with all subsequent cycles 250 mg/m2 IV on days 1 and 8. Day 1 cetuximab was immediately followed by bevacizumab 5 mg/kg IV, oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 IV, and 5-fluorouracil 400 mg/m2 IV bolus, followed by 2400 mg/m2 administered as a continuous infusion over 46 hours via a pump (outpatient) and leucovorin 350 mg IV (modified FOLFOX6). Cycles were 14 days.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR), the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI or CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS), the Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Worsening of Their Disease

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the interval between the start date of treatment and the date of occurrence of progressive disease or death.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Overall Survival (OS), the Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Death

    Measured from the date of first treatment until the date of death from any cause

    Measured: 36 months

  3. Number of Patients With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety With FOLFOX6 Combined With Bevacizumab and Cetuximab

    The toxicity assessments were made according to the common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE version 3.0) of the National Cancer Institute. Number of participants with Grade 1 to 5 adverse events are reported here.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab, Cetuximab and 5-fluorouracil in people with Colon Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 10 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Mar 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Response Rate (ORR), the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00193219, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jan 2022.
