About this study

Official title: Preoperative Induction Therapy With 12 Weeks of Panitumumab in Combination With mFOLFOX-6 in an Enriched Population (Quadruple Wild-Type) of Patients With mrT3 Rectal Cancer of the Middle Third With Clear Mesorectal Fascia

Patients with rectal adenocarcinoma of intermediate risk (defined by magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]), without mutations in KRAS, BRAF, NRAS and PI3KCA, who are candidates for preoperative treatment, will receive a preoperative Induction therapy with 12 weeks of panitumumab with mFOLFOX-6 to evaluate the efficacy in terms of pathologic complete response (pCR)

Read the detailed description

Phase II, nonrandomized single-arm trial of preoperative treatment with mFOLFOX-6 and panitumumab in an enriched population of patients with rectal adenocarcinoma of intermediate risk, screened by MRI, without mutations in KRAS, BRAF, NRAS and PI3K. All patients enrolled in the study will receive 12 weeks of the investigational product (mFOLFOX-6 with panitumumab) every 14 days for six cycles, unless unacceptable toxicity occurs or progression is detected. After this treatment, response will be evaluated by diffusion-weighted MRI and endoscopy. In the absence of disease progression, patients eligible for R0 resection will undergo total mesorectal excision (TME). After surgery, patients will receive mFOLFOX6 x 6 cycles. In the case of intolerance to FOLFOX-panitumumab, disease progression or ineligibility for R0 resection, patients will receive chemoradiotherapy with capecitabine 825 mg/m2 every 12 hours concomitantly with radiotherapy (RT) with a total dose of 50.4 Gy. At the end of this treatment, patients will undergo TME between 6-8 weeks after finishing the CRT. If a patient has received 4 or more neoadjuvant cycles of FOLFOX-panitumumab before unacceptable toxicity or progression, it will be considered that the neoadjuvant treatment has been completed and the patient will have no additional neoadjuvant treatment but surgery. If the patient has received <4 cycles of neoadjuvant treatment, neoadjuvant CRT will be administered.

If a patient has an acceptable toxicity or disease progression or a R0 surgery is not possible to be performed and the patient received CRT, the patient will be followed up for 24 months, from the enrollment of the last patient in the trial, or until progression occurs, in order to assess progression-free survival and all the data regarding surgery and CRT will be recorded in the eCRF. If a patient withdraws consent and refuses to continue participating in the study, follow-up evaluations must be discontinued.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathologic complete response (pCR)

    Pathologic CR is defined as the absence of viable tumor cells in the primary tumor and lymph nodes (ypT0N0).

    Measured: Up to 16-18 weeks after first treatment administration

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Rates of R0 resection and free mesorectal fascia (or circumferential margin)

    Measured: Up to 16-18 weeks after first treatment administration

  2. Tumor regression grade (TRG)

    the residual tumor after preoperative treatment is evaluated semi-quantitatively using the 5-point regression grading scale established by Dworak

    Measured: Up to 16-18 weeks after first treatment administration

  3. Rate of tumor downstaging (mrT versus ypT)

    Measured: Up to 16-18 weeks after first treatment administration

  4. Quality of surgery

    According to the histopathology report

    Measured: Up to 16-18 weeks after first treatment administration

  5. Adverse events and changes in laboratory results

    The adverse events will be encoded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), version 18.1 or later, and evaluated using the U.S. National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 4.0.

    Measured: All AEs that occur up until 30 days after the last dose of investigational product will be recorded. Serious and nonserious AEs related with the study treatment that appear up until 30 days after the administration of the last dose should be reported.

  6. Surgical complications

    Measured: Over 30 days after surgery.

  7. Rate of local recurrence

    Measured: At 3 years after recruitment

  8. Distant metastasis rate

    Measured: At 3 years after recruitment

  9. Disease free survival

    Measured: At 3 years after recruitment

  10. Overall survival

    Measured: At 3 years after recruitment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Panitumumab, 5Fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin in people with Rectal Cancer, run by Grupo Espanol Multidisciplinario del Cancer Digestivo at 11 sites in Spain.

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 22 inclusion and 19 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 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in Spain. 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?

Pathologic complete response (pCR) (time frame: Up to 16-18 weeks after first treatment administration). 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 17 Mar 2022.
