Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient's signed informed consent
  • Patients ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent
  • Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum
  • Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 in a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan performed within 5 weeks prior to randomisation
  • Metastases are primarily unresectable or patient is unable/unwilling to undergo surgery
  • RAS (Rat Sarcoma) wild-type (Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS), exons 2, 3, 4 and Neuroblastoma RAS viral oncogene homologue (NRAS), exons 2, 3, 4) mCRC, proven in the primary tumor or metastasis. The RAS mutational status must be determined by means of a validated test method.

  • Patient is not eligible to undergo combination chemotherapy according to investigator's assessment or unwilling to undergo combination chemotherapy.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
  • Adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal organ function, defined by the following laboratory test results:
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 109/L (1500/μL)
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 80 g/L (8 g/dL)
  • Platelet count ≥ 75 x109/L (75,000/μL) without transfusion
  • Total serum bilirubin of ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/GOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT/GPT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN; if liver function abnormalities are due to underlying liver metastasis, AST and ALT ≤ 5 × ULN
  • Calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) according to Cockcroft - Gault formula or according to MDRD formula ≥ 30 mL/min or serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN
  • Urine dipstick for proteinuria < 2+ (within 14 days prior to randomisation), unless a subsequent 24-hour urine collection demonstrates < 1 g of protein in 24 hours.
  • Patients without anticoagulation need to present with an INR <1.5 x ULN and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) <1.5 x ULN. Patients with anticoagulation may be enrolled if the patient receives the medication at a stable dose for at least 2 weeks before randomisation and provided that international normalized ratio (INR) and PTT are <1.5 x ULN..
  • For females of childbearing potential (FCBP): negative pregnancy test within 14 days before randomisation and agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods with a failure rate of <1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study treatment.
  • A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarcheal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus). Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male partner's sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation supplemented with a barrier method, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
  • For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive measures, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm, as defined below: With female partners of childbearing potential, men must remain abstinent or use a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that together result in a failure rate of <1% per year during the treatment period and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. In this regard, double barrier methods are not considered to have a failure rate of < 1%. Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period. With pregnant female partners, men must remain abstinent or use a condom during the treatment period and for 6 months after the last dose of study medication to avoid exposing the embryo. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Panitumumab 20 milligram/ML, Bevacizumab and Trifluridine/Tipiracil Hydrochloride in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Dominik Paul Modest at 1 site in Germany.

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 20 inclusion and 28 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Feb 2024. 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 Germany. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dominik Paul Modest, Prof. (+49 30 450 553840, dominik.modest@charite.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate (time frame: 36 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 NCT05007132, 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 15 Feb 2024.
