About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Efficacy and Safety, Open-label, Multicenter Study of Imprime PGG® Injection in Combination With Cetuximab in Subjects With Stage IV KRAS-Mutated Colorectal Cancer

Study BT-CL-PGG-CRC0821 is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, efficacy and safety study. It will be conducted using a two-stage design with the intention of determining the initial efficacy of Imprime PGG in combination with a monoclonal antibody (MAb; cetuximab) in the treatment of KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer (CRC). Both stages will be conducted in subjects with Stage IV CRC demonstrating the KRAS gene mutation. Subjects will dose until progression of disease or discontinuation from the study for other reasons; e.g., safety, non-compliance. Approximately 56 subjects will be enrolled at three participating centers (17 into Stage 1 and 39 into Stage 2).

Study BT-CL-PGG-CRC0821 is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, efficacy and safety study. It will be conducted using a two-stage design with the intention of determining the initial efficacy of Imprime PGG in combination with a monoclonal antibody (MAb; cetuximab) in the treatment of KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer (CRC). Both stages will be conducted in subjects with Stage IV CRC demonstrating the KRAS gene mutation. All subjects will receive Imprime PGG at 4 mg/kg and standard doses of cetuximab; Imprime PGG and cetuximab will be administered in 6-week cycles. Subjects will dose until progression of disease or discontinuation from the study for other reasons; e.g., safety, non-compliance. The initial cetuximab dose will be 400 mg/m2 on Cycle 1/Day1 and subsequent doses of cetuximab will be 250 mg/m2 weekly. Imprime PGG will be dosed weekly at 4 mg/kg. Tumor measurements and determination of tumor responses for this study will be performed according to RECIST. Approximately 56 subjects will be enrolled at three participating centers (17 into Stage 1 and 39 into Stage 2). Final results will be determined from combined Stage 1 and Stage 2 data.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Measured: Assessed after 17 subjects complete 1 treatment cycle and at completion of study.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Disease control rate (DCR) and duration of disease control

    Measured: Assessed after 17 subjects complete 1 treatment cycle and at completion of study.

  2. Complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD) rates

    Measured: Assessed after 17 subjects complete 1 treatment cycle and at completion of study.

  3. Duration of objective tumor response

    Measured: Assessed after 17 subjects complete 1 treatment cycle and at completion of study.

  4. Duration of stable disease

    Measured: Assessed after 17 subjects complete 1 treatment cycle and at completion of study.

  5. Time to progression (TTP)

    Measured: Assessed after 17 subjects complete 1 treatment cycle and at completion of study.

  6. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Measured: Assessed after 17 subjects complete 1 treatment cycle and at completion of study.

  7. Safety of the dosing regimen

    Measured: Assessed after 17 subjects complete 1 treatment cycle and at completion of study.

  8. Overall survival

    Measured: Assessed after all subjects are deceased or lost to follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer, run by HiberCell, Inc. at 3 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 19 inclusion and 10 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 15 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: Assessed after 17 subjects complete 1 treatment cycle and at completion of study.). 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 15 Feb 2012.
