Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of rivoceranib when used in combination with trifluridine/tipiracil in participants with mCRC and to assess progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with mCRC.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

This a multicenter open-label study comparing safety, tolerability and efficacy of rivoceranib and trifluridine/tipiracil monotherapies, and the combination of rivoceranib plus trifluridine/tipiracil in participants with mCRC. Participants with histologically or cytologically definitive adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum who have progressed following standard of care therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) will be randomly assigned (1:1:2) to rivoceranib, trifluridine/tipiracil or rivoceranib plus trifluridine/tipiracil treatment groups.

The study will consist of an initial phase 1b portion to assess the safety of and determine the RP2D of rivoceranib in combination with trifluridine/tipiracil. A subsequent phase 2 portion will assess the primary endpoint of progression free survival (PFS) by investigator assessment. When a participant discontinues rivoceranib and/or trifluridine/tipiracil for any reason, the participant will enter the 12-month survival follow-up period until withdrawal of consent from the study, lost to follow-up, end of the study or death, whichever occurs earlier.

The maximum duration of the study is estimated to be 36 months, which includes screening, treatment, and follow-up phases.
