Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Famitinib is a tyrosin-inhibitor agent targeting at c-Kit, VEGFR2, PDGFR, VEGFR3, Flt1 and Flt3, whose anti-tumor and anti-angiogenesis effects have been validated in preclinical tests. In PhaseⅡb study, a significantly improved Progression Free Survival (PFS) was found in patients with advanced colorectal cancer treated with Famitinib compared to placebo. On the other hand, the toxicity of Famitinib was manageable in both PhaseⅠand Ⅱb studies.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Famitinib can improve Overall Survival (OS) compared with placebo in total 540 patients with advanced colorectal cancer who have failed in previously received at least two lines of standard chemotherapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 18 Years to 75 Years

2. Pathologically confirmed advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma (all the other histological types are excluded)

3. Treatment failure in previously received standard therapy (at least two lines), which must include 5-Fu, irinotecan and oxaliplatin

Definition of "treatment failure":

A.Disease progression during experimental drug treatment or within 3 months after the last treatment, with definite imaging or clinical evidences;

B.For patients abandoning chemotherapy because of intolerance of advent events, hematologic toxicity is required to reach ≥Grade IV (platelet decrease ≥ Grade III ), and nonhematologic toxicity is required to reach ≥Grade III , according to NCI CTCAE 4.0. Furthermore, the original treatment should be not tolerated any more when it is repeated to the same patient, judged by investigators.

Note:

A.When adjuvant therapy including oxaliplatin was previously used, at least 9 courses of FOLFOX (2 weeks regimens), 6 courses of CapeOX (3 week regimen), or 750mg/m^2 cumulative consumption of oxaliplatin, are required. Adjuvant therapy will be regarded as the first-line treatment when disease progressed during or within 6 months after treatments

B.Monoclonal antibody drugs (bevacizumab, cetuximab, panitumumab, aflibercept, etc.) are allowed to combine with prior chemotherapy.

1. At least one measurable targeting lesion according to RECIST 1.1 (The diameter of tumor and lymph node lesion should be ≥ 10 mm and 15mm, respectively, with scanning layer ≤ 5 mm and without local treatment)

2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status:0-1.

3. Life expectancy ≥ 3 months

4. Adequate function of major organs, meaning the following criteria should be met within 14 days before randomization:

A.Routine blood test:

B. Blood biochemistry:

1. Total bilirubin < 1.25×the upper limit of normal (ULN)

2. Serum transaminase ≤ 2×ULN (≤ 5×ULN, If existing liver metastases)

3. Creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault Formula)

C.Doppler echocardiography assessment: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%

1. Having recovered from impairments of other therapy before taking research drugs (more than 6 weeks from the last treatment of Nitroso or MMC, more than 4 weeks from the last treatment of other cytotoxic drugs, targeted drugs, radiotherapy or operation, with completely healed wound, more than 2 weeks from the last treatment of Chinese traditional and patent medicine)

2. Signed and dated informed consent

3. Good compliance of patients and agreement of their family members to cooperate on the follow-up of survival.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Second malignancies, except for cured skin basal cell carcinoma and carcinoma in-situ of uterine cervix, before or during screening

3. Having joined in other clinical trials within 4 weeks

4. Factors influencing the usage of oral administration (e.g. unable to swallow, chronic diarrhea and intestinal obstruction, etc.)

5. Having haemorrhage history, ≥ Grade Ⅲ (NCI CTCAE 4.0 ) haemorrhage occurred within 4 weeks before screening

10. Tumor invasion around major vessels shown by imaging, high risk of major vascular invasion leading to massive hemorrhage judged by investigators

11. Abnormal international normalized ratio (INR) of patients with coagulation dysfunction and hemorrhagic tendency at 14 days before randomization. Application of anticoagulants or vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin, heparin or its analogues. However, low doses of warfarin (1mg orally, once daily) or aspirin (between 80mg to 100mg daily) can be used for prevention on the premise of INR ≤ 1.5

12. Artery/venous thromboembolic events occurred within 1 year before screening, such as cerebral vascular accident (including transient ischemic attack), deep vein thrombosis (except for recovered venous thrombosis judged by investigators, which was caused by venous catheter in previous chemotherapy) and pulmonary embolism, etc.
