Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purposes of this study are to determine whether administering escalating doses of cetuximab in patients with no early skin toxicity could delay the progression of disease in a significant proportion of patients and to study the molecular signatures of response.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Dose escalation of cetuximab
  • Drug: Standard first line treatment with cetuximab + Folfiri
Phase 2

Detailed Description

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the third most common form of cancer worldwide and remains a leading malignancy both in incidence and mortality.

In the light of existing knowledge, the investigators propose a phase II open label, two arm study in patients presenting with K-Ras wild-type metastatic colorectal tumours in the first line setting. The standard combination of irinotecan plus infusional 5-FU/LV (FOLFIRI) and cetuximab will be given to all patients entering the study. As the investigators hypothesize that increasing the dose of cetuximab might increase the intensity of skin reactions that directly correlates with outcome, in patients experiencing no skin toxicity, the dose of cetuximab will be escalated from 250 mg/m2 to 350 mg/m2 and then up to 500 mg/m2, in order to better define the effect of dose escalation in the first-line setting in a K-Ras wild type tumour population and in an attempt to increase efficacy.

Pharmacokinetic studies will be performed to document PK parameters of cetuximab in patients from both arms in selected centers.

Translational research studies are planned for all patients. Some more in depth molecular testing will be performed in a subset of patients from whom three serial tissue samples from accessible metastases by biopsy are available.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. PFS Probability Rate at 9 Months in the Dose Escalation Arm [9 months]

      A precise estimate (+/- 10%) of the probability of not having progression at 9 months. This measure is an estimation derived from the Kaplan-Meier algorithm and does not represent a dimple percentage of participants.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Median Time [Treatment + follow-up (3 years from database lock)]

      Progression free survival time was considered from start of treatment until the first observation of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. All patients (ITT).

    2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Median Time for Resected Patients [Treatment + follow-up (3 years from database lock)]

      Progression free survival time was considered from start of treatment until the first observation of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. This is the subset of resected patients (resection of secondary lesions with curative intent was performed). Patients resected after they started subsequent anti-cancer treatment or after progression on treatment were not considered as 'resected for metastatic lesions on study'. Patients were not censored at time of surgery.

    3. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Time for Resected Versus Non-resected Patients (Hazard Ratio) [Treatment + follow-up (3 years from database lock)]

      Progression free survival time was considered from start of treatment until the first observation of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. This is the subset of resected patients (resection of secondary lesions with curative intent was performed). Patients resected after they started subsequent anti-cancer treatment or after progression on treatment were not considered as 'resected for metastatic lesions on study'. Patients were not censored at time of surgery.

    4. Death Rates by 3 Years Follow-up [Treatment + follow-up (3 years from database lock)]

      Deaths by 3 years follow-up after last cetuximab administration + 30 days. All patients (ITT).

    5. Overall Survival (OS) Median Time [Treatment + follow-up (3 years from database lock)]

      Overall survival was considered from start of treatment to death. All patients (ITT).

    6. Overall Survival (OS) Median Time for Resected Patients [Treatment + follow-up (3 years from database lock)]

      Overall survival was considered from start of treatment to death. Subset of resected patients (resection of secondary lesions with curative intent was performed). Patients resected after they started subsequent anti-cancer treatment (600-01-006 and 600-04-006) or after progression (100-02-002, End point description: Clinical trial results 2009-009992-36 version 1 EU-CTR publication date: Page 15 of 38 200-03-001, and 600-01-038) were not considered as 'resected for metastatic lesions on study.

    7. Overall Response [Treatment duration (interval from first infusion to last infusion on study for each patient), an average of 8.5 months.]

      Overall response is defined as the best tumor response on treatment of either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (CR + PR). Tumor response is based on the CT/MRI assessments of target and non-target lesions as well as considering the occurrence of new lesions as per RECIST criteria. All patients (ITT).

    8. Overall Response in Patients With Liver-limited Disease [Treatment duration (interval from first infusion to last infusion on study for each patient), an average of 8.5 months.]

      Overall response is defined as the best tumor response on treatment of either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (CR + PR). Tumor response is based on the imaging (CT/MRI) assessments of target and non-target lesions as well as considering the occurrence of new lesions as per RECIST criteria. Subset of patients with liver-limited disease.

    9. Disease Control [Treatment duration (interval from first infusion to last infusion on study for each patient), an average of 8.5 months.]

      Disease control is defined as a best response on treatment (e.g. till end of treatment evaluation) of either complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) (CR + PR + SD). RECIST criteria (CT/MRI). All patients (ITT).

    10. Disease Control in Patients With Liver-limited Disease [Treatment duration (interval from first infusion to last infusion on study for each patient), an average of 8.5 months.]

      Disease control is defined as a best response on treatment (e.g. till end of treatment evaluation) of either complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) (CR + PR + SD). RECIST criteria (CT/MRI). Subset of patients with liver-limited disease.

    11. Duration of Response [Treatment + follow-up (3 years from database lock)]

      The duration of response in responding patients is defined as the time interval from the time measurement criteria are first met for CR/PR during treatment to either the first time disease progression is documented or death. Subset of responders.

    12. Duration of Response in Liver-limited Disease Patients [Treatment + follow-up (3 years from database lock)]

      The duration of response in responding patients is defined as the time interval from the time measurement criteria are first met for CR/PR during treatment to either the first time disease progression is documented or death. Subset of responders among patients with liver-limited disease.

    13. Resections for Metastatic Lesions [Treatment + follow-up (3 years from database lock)]

      All patients were deemed non-resectable at baseline but some became resectable during or posttreatment. All patients (ITT). Only those patients in whom resection of secondary lesions with curative intent was performed were considered as 'resected'. Patients resected after they started subsequent anti-cancer treatment (600-01-006 and 600-04-006) or after progression (100-02-002, 200-03-001, and 600-01-038) were not considered as 'resected for metastatic lesions on study'.

    14. R0 Rate (Free of Tumor After Resection for Metastatic Lesions) [Treatment + follow-up (3 years from database lock)]

      Rate of patients free of tumor after surgery. Subset of resected patients (resection of secondary lesions with curative intent was performed). Patients resected after they started subsequent anti-cancer treatment (600-01-006 and 600-04-006) or after progression (100-02-002, 200-03-001, and 600-01- 038) were not considered as 'resected for metastatic lesions on study'.

    15. Skin Toxicity (Safety) [From signature of informed consent to last cetuximab administration on study plus 30 days for each patient, an average of 9.5 months.]

      Treatment-emergent adverse events identified by the investigator as skin reaction or events with description skin infection or nail infection. Grading of severity was per NCI CTCAE version 4.0. All events are summarized based on the timing of occurrence per Arm in the first two rows, and worst grade per patient events are presented (following 3 rows). Grade 0 is the absence of any skin reaction and grade 3 is worst severity. All patients treated (Safety set). Note: There were 3 deviations from arm allocation rules based on the occurrence of skin toxicity. Detailed data is available upon request.

    16. Laboratory Safety Assessments [From signature of informed consent to last cetuximab administration on study plus 30 days for each patient, an average of 9.5 months.]

      Severe laboratory abnormalities (hematology and biochemistry grade 3 and higher). Worst grade per patient. All patients treated (Safety set).

    17. Deaths Till 30 Days From Last Cetuximab Administration [From signature of informed consent to last cetuximab administration on study plus 30 days for each patient, an average of 9.5 months.]

      Deaths of all causes occuring between the signature of consent and the date of last cetuximab administration + 30 days are listed per arm. None of these fatalities were deemed related to the investigational drug.

    Limitations/Caveats

    Insufficient population in escalation arm A as early skin toxicity in most patients; study not powered for formal comparison between arms. Systematic error sources: some AEs re-coded by sponsor, misclassification bias (local response assessment).
