About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel Group, Placebo-controlled, Dose Finding Study in Colorectal Cancer Patients Receiving 5-FU-based Chemotherapy to Assess the Efficacy of Different Doses of s.c. Elsiglutide in the Prevention of Chemotherapy Induced Diarrhea (CID)

This is a randomized, stratified, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group, placebo-controlled, dose finding, multicentre, multinational, phase II study in patient with colorectal cancer receiving 5- Fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI). Patients will receive, starting from the day of chemotherapy administration, a single daily dose subcutaneously (s.c.) of elsiglutide 10, 20 or 40 mg or placebo for 4 consecutive days. Each patient will be in the study for 3 consecutive chemotherapy cycles. The treatment period for each patient will be 4 consecutive days at each of the first 2 chemotherapy cycles.

The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of 3 s.c. doses of elsiglutide versus (vs.) placebo and vs. each other dose in the prevention of CID in colorectal cancer patients treated with 5-FU based chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) with no addition of a monoclonal antibody.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, stratified, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group, placebo-controlled, dose finding, multicentre, multinational, phase II study in patient with colorectal cancer receiving 5- Fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy (FOLFOX -FOLinic acid, Fluorouracil, OXaliplatin chemotherapy regimen - or FOLFIRI - FOLinic acid, Fluorouracil, IRInotecan chemotherapy regimen). Patients will receive, starting from the day of chemotherapy administration, a single daily dose subcutaneously (s.c.) of elsiglutide 10, 20 or 40 mg or placebo for 4 consecutive days. Each patient will be in the study for 3 consecutive chemotherapy cycles. The treatment period for each patient will be 4 consecutive days at each of the first 2 chemotherapy cycles.

Randomization will be performed with a 1:1:1:1 treatment allocation and will be stratified by chemotherapy regimen and country. Two populations are planned for this study.

The population receiving FOLFOX or FOLFIRI without monoclonal antibody is defined as the Target population, while the population concomitantly receiving monoclonal antibody is defined as the Additional population.

Randomization in Target and Additional population are handled independently.

Primary Objective:

To compare the efficacy of 3 s.c. doses of elsiglutide versus (vs.) placebo and vs. each other dose in the prevention of CID in colorectal cancer patients treated with 5-FU based chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) with no addition of a monoclonal antibody.

Secondary Objectives:

  • As a secondary objective, the efficacy of 3 s.c. doses of elsiglutide vs. placebo and vs. each other dose in the prevention of CID in colorectal cancer patients treated with 5-FU based chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) given in combination with a monoclonal antibody will be explored.
  • Safety and tolerability of the administered repeated doses of elsiglutide will be evaluated.

Additionally the following secondary objectives will be explored:

  • The pharmacokinetics (PK) of elsiglutide, and its metabolites in each patient who consents to undergo an exposure assessment after the first administration and at steady state. The influence of possible demographic and therapeutic covariates on the PK parameters and their variability will also be investigated. The possible relationship between exposure of elsiglutide and its metabolites and efficacy measures in the target and overall population will be explored.
  • The economic impact of the 3 doses of elsiglutide vs. placebo and each other dose in the treatment of CID.
  • The impact on patient's QoL (quality of life) of the different dosages vs. placebo.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of Patients Experiencing a Maximum Grade ≥ 2 Diarrhea During the First Cycle of Chemotherapy in the Target Population

    The endpoint of primary interest for efficacy was the proportion of patients within the Target population experiencing a maximum Grade ≥ 2 diarrhea in Cycle 1 (as assessed by the Investigator). For patient 8031362 who withdrew consent after 11 day in Cycle 1, Investigator assessments for the individual diarrhea events were missing. The data were imputed as Grade 0 for the primary endpoint, in line with the patient's eDiary data.

    Additional population is not included in primary endpoint evaluation.

    Measured: 15 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Elsiglutide in people with Drug and/or Toxin-induced Diarrhea, run by Helsinn Healthcare SA at 54 sites in 8 countries.

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 9 inclusion and 32 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 1 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 54 sites in Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Bulgaria, Belarus and 3 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 Mar 2024). 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?

Proportion of Patients Experiencing a Maximum Grade ≥ 2 Diarrhea During the First Cycle of Chemotherapy in the Target Population (time frame: 15 days). 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 1 Mar 2024.
