About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Second-line Irinotecan Plus Brivanib, a Dual Tyrosine Inhibitor of VEGFR and FGFR, in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients Enriched for Elevated Levels of Plasma FGF Following Progression on Bevacizumab-based Treatment

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if adding brivanib to irinotecan can help control the disease in patients with colorectal cancer that has spread. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.

Read the detailed description

Study Drugs:

Brivanib is designed to keep cancer cells from receiving the blood supply they need. This may slow down the growth of cancer cells.

Irinotecan is designed to interfere with the DNA (genetic material) of cancer cells. This may slow down the growth and spread of cancer cells.

Study Drug Administration:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will take brivanib by mouth 1 time every day. The study drug should be taken at the same time each day with a glass (about 8 ounces) of water. You can take it with or without food.

You will be given irinotecan by vein over about 1½ hours on Day 1 of each 14-day cycle. You may be given other drugs to help prevent side effects. The study staff will tell you about these drugs, how they will be given, and the possible risks.

If you have a side effect, you should tell your doctor or study nurse right away. Your study doctor may prescribe drugs for your side effects, delay future treatments, lower the dose of the study drugs, or stop your treatment with the study drugs.

Study Visits:

On Day 7 of Cycle 1:

  • Your vital signs will be measured.
  • Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests and to check your thyroid function. If the doctor thinks it is needed, part of the blood may be used to check your blood's ability to clot.

Before all cycles, starting with Cycle 2:

  • You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs.
  • Your performance status will be recorded.
  • Blood (about 1-2 tablespoons) will be collected for routine tests. If the doctor thinks it is needed, part of the blood may be used to check your blood's ability to clot if needed.
  • You will be asked about any drugs you may have taken and side effects you may have had.
  • Before Cycles 2 and 3 only, blood (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn to check your thyroid function.

Every 8 weeks:

  • You will have a CT scan or MRI scan to check the status of the disease.
  • Blood (about 2-3 tablespoons) will be drawn for thyroid, CEA, and cytokine testing.
  • Urine will be collected for routine tests.

Every 12 weeks (Weeks 12, 24, 36, and so on), you will have an ECHO to check your heart function.

Length of Study:

You may continue taking the study drugs for as long as the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will no longer be able to take the study drugs if the disease gets worse or intolerable side effects occur.

End-of-Treatment Visit:

Within 2 weeks after you stop taking the study drugs, the following tests and procedures will be performed if not done in the last 14 days:

  • You will be asked about any side effects you may have had and any drugs you may be taking.
  • You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs.
  • Your performance status will be recorded.
  • You will have a CT scan or MRI scan to check the status of the disease.
  • Blood (about 1-2 tablespoons) and urine will be collected for routine tests.
  • Blood (about 2-3 tablespoons) will be drawn for thyroid, CEA, and cytokine testing.

Long-Term Follow-Up:

After you stop taking the study drugs, you will be called every 3 months. You will be asked questions about your health. These calls should last about 15 minutes each time.

This is an investigational study. Brivanib is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. Irinotecan is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of colorectal cancer. The combination of brivanib and irinotecan is considered investigational.

Up to 60 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

What participants receive

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

  • BrivanibDrug

    Also called BMS-582664

    800 mg (4 x 200 mg tablets) self-administered orally at approximate same time each day on a continuous daily schedule Days 1-14 of 14 day cycle.

  • IrinotecanDrug

    Also called CPT-11, Camptosar

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Median Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: Enrollment (baseline) to disease progression or death, followed each 14 day treatment then every 2 months,up to 100 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Brivanib and Irinotecan in people with Colorectal Cancer and Colorectal Adenocarcinoma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 14 inclusion and 31 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 3 Sep 2020. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Sep 2020). 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?

Number of Participants With Median Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Enrollment (baseline) to disease progression or death, followed each 14 day treatment then every 2 months,up to 100 week). 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 3 Sep 2020.
