Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is a randomized multi-center trial that will assess the effect of adding Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT), using SIR-Spheres microspheres®, to a standard chemotherapy regimen of FOLFOX as first line therapy in patients with non-resectable liver metastases from primary colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Treatment with the biologic agent bevacizumab, if part of the standard of care at participating institutions, is allowed within this study at the discretion of the treating Investigator.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: mFOLFOX6 + SIRT

A single injection of SIR-Spheres microspheres into the liver plus systemic chemotherapy consisting of Oxaliplatin + Leucovorin + 5-Fluorouracil (FOLFOX)

Device: SIR-Spheres yttrium-90 microspheres
SIR-Spheres microspheres (yttrium-90 [Y-90] labelled resin microspheres), hepatic artery injection administered on Day 3 or 4 of cycle 1. mFOLFOX6 administered on Day 1 and at the start of each cycle every 14 days: 85 or 60 mg/m2 oxaliplatin by 2-hour intravenous (IV) infusion + 200 mg/m2 leucovorin by 2-hour IV infusion + 400 mg/m2 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) by IV bolus + 2.4 g/m2 5-FU by 46-hour continuous IV infusion. Treatment with the biologic agent bevacizumab, if part of standard practice at the participating institution, was permitted at the discretion of the treating Investigator. In the event that leucovorin was not available, use of levofolinic acid (the active S enantiomer) was acceptable at half the dose of the racemic leucovorin i.e. 100 mg/m2.
Other Names:
  • mFOLFOX6m + SIRT
  • SIR-Spheres Y-90 microspheres
  • Active Comparator: mFOLFOX6

    Systemic chemotherapy consisting of Oxaliplatin + Leucovorin + 5- Fluorouracil (FOLFOX).

    Drug: Systemic chemotherapy (FOLFOX)
    mFOLFOX6 administered on Day 1 and at the start of each cycle every 14 days: 85 or 60 mg/m2 oxaliplatin by 2-hour intravenous (IV) infusion + 200 mg/m2 leucovorin by 2-hour IV infusion + 400 mg/m2 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) by IV bolus + 2.4 g/m2 5-FU by 46-hour continuous IV infusion. Treatment with the biologic agent bevacizumab, if part of standard practice at the participating institution, was permitted at the discretion of the treating Investigator. In the event that leucovorin was not available, use of levofolinic acid (the active S enantiomer) was acceptable at half the dose of the racemic leucovorin i.e. 100 mg/m2.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) at Any Site [From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months]

      PFS defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as an increase in the sum of the longest diameters of ≥ 20% and an absolute increase in the sum of the longest diameters of ≥ 5 mm, or the appearance of a new lesion.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Overall Response [Through study completion, up to 60 months]

      Tumour Response Rate per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by CT: Complete Response (CR) - Disappearance of all target lesions which is confirmed if determined by two observations not less than 4 weeks apart; Partial Response (PR) - >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Comments A sample size of at least 450 patients for the SIRFLOX study was estimated to be needed to detect an increase in the median PFS at any site from 9.4 months to 12.5 months with 80% power and 95% confidence. Taking into account the number of patients who might receive the alternative treatment or lack of imaging data, the sample size was increased to 530. The Null hypothesis is no difference between the treatment arms with respect to PFS.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame From consent until 28 days post last dose of protocol chemotherapy.
    Adverse Event Reporting Description Adverse Events monitored for all participants who were randomized and received at least 1 cycle of study treatment. Of the 267 in 'mFOLFOX6 Plus SIRT' arm, 18 switched study treatment arms and 3 did not get any treatment. Hence safety population in this arm comprises 246 participants. The 'mFOLFOX6 alone' arm includes the initial 263 plus 18 that switched over. 11 did not receive any treatment. Hence safety population in this arm comprises 270 participants.
