  • If RAS wild-type and medically appropriate, an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy (e.g., cetuximab, panitumumab).
  • If known microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) tumor and medically appropriate, a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) inhibitor.
  • Self-identify as Black and/or African American or Hispanic and/or Latino or as both.
  • Body weight ≥40 kilograms (kg).
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1 at screening.
  • Have assessable disease according to RECIST version 1.1, assessed locally.
  • In participants of childbearing potential, agreement to use highly effective form(s) of contraception, which results in a low failure rate (less than [<]1 percent [%] per year) when used consistently and correctly, starting during the screening period, continuing throughout the entire trial period, and for 2 weeks after taking the last dose of the trial intervention. Such methods include oral (PO) hormonal contraception (combined estrogen/progestogen or progestogen-only) associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal ligation, vasectomized partner, or true sexual abstinence in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. Those assigned male sex at birth must always use a condom.

About this study

Official title: A Single Arm Phase 4 Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Oral Fruquintinib in the Treatment of Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer in Patients From Minority Populations Underrepresented in Prior Fruquintinib Studies

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a known side effect of the treatment with fruquintinib. Current research does not provide a clear answer whether minority groups such as Black/African American and/or Hispanic/Latino with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have a bigger risk of higher blood pressure after treatment with fruquintinib. The main aim of this study is to learn how often adults of a minority group experience hypertension after they have been treated with fruquintinib for refractory mCRC. Other aims are to learn how safe fruquintinib is and how well it is tolerated by participants.

Participants will receive fruquintinib in 4-week treatment cycles until their condition worsens, they do no longer tolerate the treatment or stop the treatment for other reasons. After the last treatment, participants will be checked upon every 3 months until study completion.

  • FruquintinibDrug

    Also called Fruzaqla™

    Oral capsules

Study groups in NCT06562543
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Fruquintinib 5 mgExperimentalParticipants will receive fruquintinib capsule at a dose of 5 mg, orally (PO), once daily (QD), for the first 21 days of each 28-day treatment cycle until progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, or other discontinuation criteria are met.
Receives: Drug: Fruquintinib

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Grade 3 and Grade 4 Hypertension

    A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving the first dose of the study drug and within 30 days after the last dose of the study drug or the initiation of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs earlier. Severity (toxicity grade) for hypertension will be determined using the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), version 5.0.

    Measured: From the first dose of the study drug up to end of study (approximately 35 months)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of Participants with TEAEs, Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Deaths

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of the trial intervention. It does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with trial intervention. A TEAE is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. An AESI is an AE of scientific and medical concern (including palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome [hand-foot syndrome]) specific to the study drug or the same class of drugs (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF] inhibitors) for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the investigator to Takeda may be appropriate. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, leads to a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is considered medically significant event.

    Measured: From the first dose of the study drug up to end of study (approximately 35 months)

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS will be defined as the interval from the first dose of fruquintinib until death.

    Measured: Up to approximately 35 months

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS will be defined as the interval from the first dose of fruquintinib until the first radiographic documentation of objective progression assessed by investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) version 1.1, or death from any cause.

    Measured: Up to approximately 35 months

  4. Confirmed Objective Response Rate (cORR)

    Confirmed ORR is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), assessed by investigator per RECIST version 1.1. To be qualified for stable disease (SD), the duration of SD should last for at least 7 weeks.

    Measured: Up to approximately 35 months

  5. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a best overall response of confirmed CR, PR, or SD, as assessed by investigator per RECIST version 1.1.

    Measured: Up to approximately 35 months

  6. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR is defined as the interval from the first occurrence of PR or CR, whichever comes first, until the date of radiographic PD or death. DOR will be determined for participants with the best overall response of confirmed CR or PR as assessed by investigator per RECIST version 1.1.

    Measured: Up to approximately 35 months

  7. Plasma Concentration for Fruquintinib

    Measured: Pre-dose (within 1 hour) on Day 21 of Cycles 1 and 2; 2 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 21 of Cycles 1 to 4 and 3 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 21 of Cycles 1 and 2 (cycle length=28 days)
