About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b/2 Trial of AMG 655 in Combination With Panitumumab in Subjects With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This is an exploratory phase 1b/2, global, multicenter, single-arm, 2-part (phase 1b and 2) study of conatumumab in combination with panitumumab in patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is an exploratory phase 1b/2, global, multicenter, single-arm, 2-part (phase 1b and 2) study of conatumumab in combination with panitumumab in patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

The objective for Part 1 is to identify a tolerable dose of conatumumab in combination with panitumumab based on the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities in patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

The objective for Part 2 is to evaluate the objective response rate stratified by Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Virus Oncogene (KRAS) status (wild-type versus mutant) in patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer treated with the combination of panitumumab and conatumumab (tolerable dose identified in part 1).

What is being measured

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

  1. Part 1: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities

    A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as any grade 3 or 4 conatumumab-related or combination (panitumumab and conatumumab)-related adverse event, or grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormality that occurred during the first 4 weeks (28 days) of treatment with panitumumab and conatumumab. Anemia and lymphopenia were not considered DLTs.

    Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 was used to grade all adverse events and toxicities.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Number of Participants With an Objective Response

    An overall objective response of either a confirmed complete response or partial response, where the overall objective response was equivalent to the best overall response recorded for each participant from enrollment until disease progression or recurrence. Tumor response was assessed by the investigator according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.0. Responses were confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were first met. Complete response defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. Partial response defined as either the disappearance of all target lesions with the persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s), or, at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of target lesions, taking as reference the Baseline SLD and the disappearance of all or the persistence of 1 or more non-target lesions.

    Measured: Participants were evaluated for tumor response until radiographic disease progression or until the participant began another anticancer treatment (up to a maximum of 55.6 weeks).

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    Kaplan-Meier estimate of the median time from enrollment to death from any cause or disease progression. Progressive disease is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters (SLD) of target lesions, taking as reference the nadir SLD recorded since the treatment started, or the appearance of one or more new lesions, or the unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Measured: Participants were evaluated for tumor response until radiographic disease progression or until the participant began another anticancer treatment (up to a maximum of 55.6 weeks).

  2. Overall Survival

    Kaplan-Meier estimate of time from enrollment to death from any cause

    Measured: Participants were evaluated for tumor response until radiographic disease progression or until the participant began another anticancer treatment (up to a maximum of 55.6 weeks).

  3. Number of Participants With Disease Control

    Disease control defined as participants with an overall objective response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease during the treatment period, assessed by the investigator according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Responses were confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were first met. CR defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR defined as either the disappearance of all target lesions with the persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s), or, at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of target lesions, taking as reference the Baseline SLD and the disappearance of all or the persistence of 1 or more non-target lesions. Stable disease defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the nadir LD since the treatment started.

    Measured: Participants were evaluated for tumor response until radiographic disease progression or until the participant began another anticancer treatment (up to a maximum of 55.6 weeks).

  4. Time to Response

    The interval in days from the first dose of study therapy to the date of first confirmed objective response. Calculated only for participants with an objective response.

    Measured: Participants were evaluated for tumor response until radiographic disease progression or until the participant began another anticancer treatment (up to a maximum of 55.6 weeks).

  5. Duation of Response

    The interval in days from the first confirmed objective response to disease progression per the modified RECIST criteria or death. Calculated only for participants with an objective response.

    Measured: Participants were evaluated for tumor response until radiographic disease progression or until the participant began another anticancer treatment (up to a maximum of 55.6 weeks).

  6. Number of Participants With Anti-therapeutic Antibodies

    Number of participants with human anti-panitumumab antibodies (HAPA) or anti-conatumumab antibodies measured by immunoassay.

    Measured: Antibody samples were collected at weeks 1, 7, and 23 and every 6 months thereafter during treatment, and at the safety follow-up and follow-up visits. The mean follow-up time was 35.7 weeks.

  7. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment, and includes any such occurrence (eg, sign, symptom, or diagnosis) or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition from the time that a participant has signed informed consent to the time of initiation of investigational product. The severity of AEs was graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0, according to the following:

    1. = Mild: Aware of sign or symptom, but easily tolerated
    2. = Moderate: Discomfort enough to cause interference with usual activity;
    3. = Severe: Incapacitating with inability to work or do usual activity;
    4. = Life-threatening: an event in which the patient was, in the view of the investigator, at risk of death at the time of the event;
    5. = Fatal.

    Measured: From first dose of investigational drug until 30 days after the last dose, up to a maximum of 50 weeks.

  8. Number of Participants With Post-baseline Laboratory Values Grade 3 or Higher

    Laboratory values were assessed using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria (version 3.0) according to the following: 1 = Mild; 2 = Moderate; 3 = Severe; 4 = Life-threatening; 5 = Fatal.

    Measured: From first dose of investigational drug until 30 days after the last dose, up to a maximum of 50 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Panitumumab and Conatumumab in people with Colon Cancer and Colorectal Cancer, run by Amgen.

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 22 inclusion and 23 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 6 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 6 Feb 2014). 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?

Part 1: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Feb 2014.
