About this study

Official title: Phase II, Multi-Center, Open-Label, Prospective Study of Capecitabine and Cetuximab as First-Line Therapy in Patients With Metastatic Wild Type KRAS Colorectal Cancer Who Are Considered Nonoptimal Candidates or Are Intolerant to a First-Line Oxaliplatin/Irinotecan Regimen

The combination of capecitabine and cetuximab as first-line therapy will result in improved progression free survival compared to single agent capecitabine in patients with KRAS wild type colorectal cancer. Patients who are not able or willing to take Oxaliplatin/Irinotecan combination therapy are eligible for this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • capecitabine and cetuximabDrug

    Cetuximab 500 mg/m2 IV infusion over 1-2 hours Once every 2 weeks

    Capecitabine 1500 mg/m2 PO BID Days 1-7 followed by 7 days of no treatment and repeated every 2 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary objective is to assess PFS in patients with WT KRAS CRC treated with the combination regimen of capecitabine and cetuximab

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To assess the response rate in patients with metastatic WT KRAS CRC treated with capecitabine and cetuximab

    Measured: 18 months

  2. To assess the overall survival rate among patients with metastatic WT KRAS CRC treated with capecitabine and cetuximab

    Measured: 18 months

  3. To characterize the toxic effects and AEs of the combination regimen of capecitabine and cetuximab in this patient population

    Measured: every three months

  4. To perform exploratory analyses of serum and tumor biomarkers (EGFR mutations and genotyping) on toxicity and efficacy.

    Measured: 1 year after study closure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing capecitabine and cetuximab in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Translational Genomics Research Institute at 1 site 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 12 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2022. 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 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Primary objective is to assess PFS in patients with WT KRAS CRC treated with the combination regimen of capecitabine and cetuximab (time frame: 18 months). 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 20 Oct 2022.
