Cetuximab Monotherapy Maintenance Treatment in mCRC
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Investigating the efficacy of Cetuximab Monotherapy versus Continuation after induction treatment with chemotherapy + Cetuximab in inoperable or irresectable and non-progressive metastatic colorectal cancer after first line induction treatment for 24 weeks with mFOLFOX6/FOLFIRI and Cetuximab treatment. Reinduction treatment will be done in case of progression.

Detailed Description
Investigating the efficacy of Cetuximab Monotherapy versus Continuation after induction treatment with chemotherapy + Cetuximab in inoperable or irresectable and non-progressive metastatic colorectal cancer after first line induction treatment for 24 weeks with mFOLFOX6/FOLFIRI and Cetuximab treatment. Reinduction treatment will be done in case of progression. This treatment is continued until progression or severe toxicity.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Histological proof of colorectal cancer (in case of a single metastasis, histological or cytological proof of this lesion should be obtained);
-
Distant metastases (patients with only local recurrence are not eligible);
-
Unidimensionally measurable disease (> 1 cm on spiral CT scan or > 2 cm on chest X-ray; liver ultrasound is not allowed). Serum CEA may not be used as a parameter for disease evaluation;
-
In case of previous radiotherapy, at least one measurable lesion should be located outside the irradiated field;
-
Ongoing or planned first line treatment with 6 cycles of mFOLFOX6/FOLFIRI plus Cetuximab.
At randomisation:
-
WHO performance status 0-1 (Karnofsky PS > 70%);
-
Laboratory values obtained ≤ 2 weeks prior to randomisation:
-
adequate bone marrow function (Hb > 6.0 mmol/L, absolute neutrophil count > 1.5 x 109/L, platelets > 100 x 109/L),
-
renal function (serum creatinine ≤ 1.5x ULN and creatinine clearance, Cockroft formula, > 30 ml/min),
-
liver function (serum bilirubin ≤ 2 x ULN, serum transaminases ≤ 3 x ULN without presence of liver metastases or ≤ 5x ULN with presence of liver metastases);
-
Negative pregnancy test in women with childbearing potential;
-
Expected adequacy of follow-up;
-
Institutional Review Board approval;
-
Written informed consent Exclusion criteria;
-
History or clinical signs/symptoms of CNS metastases;
-
History of a second malignancy ≤ 5 years with the exception of adequately treated carcinoma of cervix or basal/squamous cell carcinoma of skin.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Prior adjuvant treatment for stage II/III colorectal cancer ending within 6 months before the start of induction treatment;
-
Any prior adjuvant treatment after resection of distant metastases;
-
Previous systemic treatment for advanced disease.
