About this study

Primary Objective: This trial is elaborating a model for rapidly predicting (day 21) the response to monoclonal antibodies anti-EGFR and anti-VEGF (cetuximab and bevacizumab) based on biological markers and/or functional imaging. The response to treatment is evaluated by the conventional method after 2 months (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] criteria).

Secondary Objectives:

Read more
  1. This trial is also analyzing the correlation between the magnitude of response to treatment at 2 months (stabilization or objective response, RECIST criteria) and that of response observed after 6 months of treatment.
  2. The organisational objective is to develop a tumour bank of metastatic colorectal cancer.

Population: The population includes 252 male and female patients with metastatic colorectal cancer justifying the use of cetuximab or bevacizumab, with no heart disease.

Techniques: Computed tomography (CT scan), functional imaging (ultrasound with SonoVue); molecular imaging (positron emission tomography [PET] with fluorodeoxyglucose F18 [18-FDG]); and biology and pathology on microbiopsy of liver metastasis are used.

Outcome Criteria: The primary outcome is response to treatment with monoclonal antibodies according to RECIST criteria at two months.

Studied Factors:

Radiology:

  1. CT scan: RECIST criteria (gold standard);
  2. Ultrasound with SonoVue injection: 1 representative target (delay of contrast appearance, peak of rising, curve of increase and decrease of the signal, area under the curve, time of average transit).

Nuclear Medicine: PET scan and 18-FDG (standard uptake values [SUV])

Molecular Characterization of Tumors: p53 status; microsatellite instability (MSI) status; expression of oncogenes; EGFR status; VEGF status; determination of FcgammaRIIIA polymorphisms

Statistics:

  1. Descriptive analyses;
  2. Analysis of the appropriate threshold to measure: response to treatment by an ultrasound with SonoVue and by PET scan; correlation between response predicted by the ultrasound with SonoVue and the PET; conventional morphological CT at 2 months
  3. Analysis of prognostic factors:
  4. Evaluation of the role of each prognostic factor (pathology and imaging) on response to treatment;
  5. Multivariate analysis of prognostic factors;
  6. Analysis of the prognostic power of early response at 2 months on the response observed after 6 months of treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing cetuximab and bevacizumab in people with Colorectal Cancer and Neoplasm Metastasis, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The scientific commitee decided to stop the inclusions and exploit the results.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Elaboration of a predictive model, based on biological and functional imaging parameters, for the response to monoclonal antibodies as assessed through RECIST criteria 2 months after the beginning of treatment (time frame: at 7 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 9 Feb 2009.
