About this study

Official title: Phase II Examination of Irinotecan, Cetuximab and Everolimus to Chemotherapy Resistent Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer and KRAS Mutations or After Progression With KRAS Wildtype on Irinotecan and Cetuximab - Effect and Biological Markers

This is an open, multicenter phase II trial of therapy with a combination of cetuximab, and irinotecan every second week combined with a daily dose of everolimus to patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS) mutation or to patients resistent to cetuximab and irinotecan therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Main objective:

  • Number of patients with progressive disease that obtain disease control defined as the sum of patients that obtain a Complete Remission (CR), Partial Remission(PR, or stable disease (SD))

Secondary objectives:

  • Time to progression after first therapy.
  • Length of disease control (CR, PR and SD)
  • Survival from date of start of therapy.
  • Safety and toxicity of the therapy graded according to Common Toxicity Criteria version 3.0
  • Influence of smoking on disease control, response, survival and time to progression and other effect parameters in the investigation.
  • Significance of metabolic response evaluated by a Photon Emissions Tomography (PET)/Computer Tomography(CT)scan.
  • Blood: Examine the influence of potential predictive and prognostic tumour biomarkers in blood as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER-2), YKL-40, Interleukin-6 (IL-6) ,metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 (TIMP-1), procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP), Procollagen type 3 N-terminal propeptide (P3NP), gen-, micro-ribonucleinate (microRNA)- and protein array profiles, metabolomics and C-reactive protein (CRP) 2 weeks after start of therapy and thereafter every 8.weeks on disease control, response, survival and time to progression and other parameters investigated.
  • Tissue: Examine possible predictive and prognostic biomarkers in tissue from primary tumour or metastases for micro-RNAarray profiles, mutations in K-RAS, murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (BRAF), Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PIK3CA), EGFR, tumor protein 53 (p53), and protein expression and polymorphisms of th phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), epiregulin (EREG), amphiregulin (AREG), Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), IGF-1 Receptor (IGF-1R), VEGF, p53, topoisomerase 1 (Topo1), YKL-40, and TIMP-1
  • Correlation between possible predictive and prognostic biomarkers in blood and tissue.

What participants receive

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

  • EverolimusDrug

    Patients with KRAS mutant tumours are treated with cetuximab, everolimus and irinotecan as third line.

    Patients with KRAS wildtype tumours that have progressed on therapy with cetuximab and irinotecan are treated with cetuximab, everolimus and Irinotecan.

  • EverolimusDrug

    1.66 mg per day up to 7½ mg per day

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical benefit (SD+PR+CR)

    Clinical benefit is defined as the number of patients with stable disease lasting 2 months and partial response and CR as defined in RECIST 1.1

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Everolimus in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Herlev Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 20 Mar 2012. 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 Denmark. 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 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?

Clinical benefit (SD+PR+CR) (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01387880, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Mar 2012.
