About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Single Agent Axitinib as Maintenance Therapy for Patients With First Line Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)

This is a non-randomized, open-label, Phase II trial investigating axitinib as a single-agent maintenance therapy following standard first-line FOLFOX/bevacizumab therapy for patients with mCRC.

Read the detailed description

All patients will receive FOLFOX/bevacizumab for four 28-day cycles (a total of 16 weeks). After 4 cycles, maintenance axitinib will be started. With approval of the Medical Monitor,patients who are having significant benefit from FOLFOX/bevacizumab may continue chemotherapy to a maximum of six 28-day cycles. During trial treatment, all patients will be assessed for response every 8 weeks (2 cycles).

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival

    Defined as the time from first treatment until objective tumor progression or death from any cause, assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Objective Response Rate

    Defined as the percentage of evaluable patients showing a complete or partial response (CR or PR) per RECIST v1.1 criteria. CR = disappearance of all lesions. PR = at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. Stable disease (SD) = neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest (nadir) sum LD since start of treatment.

    Measured: every 8 weeks, assessed up to approximately 24 months

  2. Time To Progression (TTP)

    Defined as the time after a disease is diagnosed (or treated) until worsening of the disease.

    Measured: every 8 weeks, assessed approximately up to 24 months

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    Defined as the time from first treatment until death from any cause.

    Measured: every 8 weeks until progression then every 3 months for up to 5 years.

  4. Frequency of Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety

    The frequency of adverse events (AEs) was analyzed in 2 groups of patients, those receiving FOLFOX/bevacizumab (N=70), and patients who received axitinib maintenance (N = 48). AEs were assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v4.0.

    Measured: Every 4 weeks plus 30 days during treatment and up to 5 years thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Axitinib, Bevacizumab and 5-Fluorouracil in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 12 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 10 inclusion and 27 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 24 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 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.

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 12 Jan 2017). 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?

Progression-free Survival (time frame: 24 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 24 Sep 2019.
