Trial summary

Metastatic diseases were found in 20-25% of patients with initial diagnosis of colorectal cancer and developed in up to 50% of patients. Owing to limited post-treatment response of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combined with leucovorin (LV) obtained in mCRC (metastatic colorectal cancer) patients, other therapeutic agents… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Determination of the UGT1A1 Polymorphism as Guidance for Irinotecan Dose Escalation in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Treated With First-Line Bevacizumab and FOLFIRI (PURE FIST)

Metastatic diseases were found in 20-25% of patients with initial diagnosis of colorectal cancer and developed in up to 50% of patients. Owing to limited post-treatment response of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combined with leucovorin (LV) obtained in mCRC (metastatic colorectal cancer) patients, other therapeutic agents with different mechanisms were considered, such as irinotecan, a potent inhibitor of topoisomerase I, which is involved in the unwinding of DNA during replication. Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that inhibits tumor angiogenesis by blocking vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and was the first antiangiogenic agent approved for the treatment of cancer.

Infusional fluorouracil/leucovorin plus irinotecan-based regimen (FOLFIRI) with bevacizumab has been widely used as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Recently, the investigators have shown that prospective analysis of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) genotyping for irinotecan dose escalation (FOLFIRI regimen) with combination of bevacizumab biweekly as the first-line setting in mCRC patients (ASCO Abstract #491 - 2013 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium).

In this study, the investigators will enroll approximately 320 mCRC patients (It was considered that an increase of response rate of 15% compared to conventional irinotecan dose of 180 mg/m2, and these were chosen as parameters with which to calculate the study power. Initial power calculation was suggested that a minimum of 140 patients in each group would be required to achieve statistical significance with a power of 80% at the 5% significance level. It is estimated that about 10% of 320 mCRC patients fail to complete the study). For these enrolled patients, the investigators will randomize and divide these patients into two groups: control group and study group. Control group includes mCRC patients who will receive the conventional regimen of FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab. Otherwise, patients in the study group will have genotyping of UGT1A1 before therapy, and dose escalating of irinotecan will depend on results of genotyping.

Read the detailed description

Control group:

Regimen for treatment consisted of bevacizumab (Avastin) 5mg/Kg (IV infusion) on day 1, follow by irinotecan (180 mg/m2 as a 120-min IV infusion), LV (400 mg/m2 IV infusion over 2 hours), and 5-FU (2800 mg/m2 IV infusion over a 46-hour period), repeated every 2 weeks.

Study group: FOLFIRI (infusional fluorouracil/leucovorin plus irinotecan) + Bevacizumab. The dosage of irinotecan is adjusted to the UGT1A1 genotyping

The wild-type (6/6) of UGT1A1:

Regimen for treatment consisted of bevacizumab (Avastin) 5mg/Kg (IV infusion) on day 1, follow by irinotecan (180 mg/m2 as a 120-min IV infusion), LV (400 mg/m2 IV infusion over 2 hours), and 5-FU (2800 mg/m2 IV infusion over a 46-hour period), repeated every 2 weeks.

After 2 cycles of each different dose of irinotecan, we will observe the adverse effects (AEs) of hematological / non-hematological. If the grade is under the grade 2, we will escalate the dose of 30 mg/m2 gradually. The estimated maximal dose of irinotecan is 260 mg/m2.

The (6,7) type of UGT1A1:

Regimen for treatment consisted of bevacizumab (Avastin) 5mg/Kg (IV infusion) on day 1, follow by irinotecan (180 mg/m2 as a 120-min IV infusion), LV (400 mg/m2 IV infusion over 2 hours), and 5-FU (2800 mg/m2 IV infusion over a 46-hour period), repeated every 2 weeks.

After 2 cycles of each different dose of irinotecan, we will observe the adverse effects (AEs) of hematological / non-hematological. If the grade is under the grade 2, we will escalate the dose of 30 mg/m2 gradually. The estimated maximal dose of irinotecan is 240 mg/m2.

The (7,7) type of UGT1A1:

Regimen for treatment consisted of bevacizumab (Avastin) 5mg/Kg (IV infusion) on day 1, follow by irinotecan (120 mg/m2 as a 120-min IV infusion), LV (400 mg/m2 IV infusion over 2 hours), and 5-FU (2800 mg/m2 IV infusion over a 46-hour period), repeated every 2 weeks.

After 2 cycles of each different dose of irinotecan, we will observe the adverse effects (AEs) of hematological / non-hematological. If the grade is under the grade 2, we will escalate the dose of 30 mg/m2 gradually. The estimated maximal dose of irinotecan is 180 mg/m2.

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 6 inclusion and 1 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 17 Nov 2021. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Progression-free survival (time frame: three to six months). 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 NCT02256800, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 17 Nov 2021.
