Early-Line Anti-EGFR Therapy to Facilitate Retreatment for Select Patients With mCRC
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study will use previously established doses of panitumumab or cetuximab in the metastatic setting for the treatment of unresectable colorectal cancer (CRC). It is designed to investigate an alternative treatment strategy to maximize the benefit to inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) for a highly selected patient population. It will enroll 110 participants with left-sided, unresectable metastatic CRC. Participants will be on study up to 5 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Cohort A Objective Response Rate (ORR) [up to 1 year]
Objective responses which will include all confirmed complete responses (CR) and confirmed partial responses (PR) determined as per RECIST v1.1 on treatment with panitumumab in metastatic, left-sided, non-bulky colorectal cancer.
- Cohort B Progression Free Survival (PFS) [up to 4 years]
PFS will be defined as the duration (in months) from the date of study enrollment to date of disease progression (or death). If no progression (or death) event is observed during the follow-up period of the study, then PFS will be censored at the last date of follow-up per standard RECIST vs. 1.1 evaluation.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Cohort A Progression Free Survival (PFS) [up to 4 years]
PFS will be defined as the duration (in months) from the date of study enrollment to date of disease progression (or death). If no progression (or death) event is observed during the follow-up period of the study, then PFS will be censored at the last date of follow-up per standard RECIST vs. 1.1 evaluation.
- Cohort B Objective Response Rate (ORR) [up to 1 year]
Objective responses which will include all confirmed complete responses (CR) and confirmed partial responses (PR) determined as per RECIST v1.1 on treatment with panitumumab in metastatic, left-sided, non-bulky colorectal cancer.
- Type and Severity of Toxicities [up to 1 year (adverse events collected to 30 days post treatment)]
Toxicities will be graded using the most recent version of the CTCAE criteria. Toxicities will be summarized by type and severity in tabulator format.
- Rate of Retreatment with EGFRi [up to 4 years]
The rate of retreatment with EGFRi will be defined as the proportions of all eligible subjects who are retreated with EGFRi among all eligible subjects.
- Overall Survival (OS) [up to 4 years]
OS will be defined as the duration (in months) from the date of study enrollment to the date of death (of any case). If no death event is observed during the follow-up period in a subject, then OS for that subject will be censored at the date of the last known survival status.
Other Outcome Measures
- Change in Participant Derived Organotypic Spheroid Response over baseline [baseline, post treatment (up to 1 year)]
To determine the ability of patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids to predict clinical response to EGFR inhibition, participant derived organotypic spheroids will be grown from biopsy at baseline assessment and compared to clinical response from EGFR inhibitor. This measure will a percentage change from the baseline.
- Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) at time of Progression [1 month (cycle 1, day 1 of 28 cycle), 4 months (cycle 3, day 1 of 28 day cycle), up to 1 year (30 days post treatment)]
To evaluate ctDNA for early markers predictive of clinical resistance, ctDNA will be evaluated for subclonal alterations at the time of clinical disease progression and compared to repeat tissue biopsy.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information
-
As determined by the enrolling physician or protocol designee, ability of the participant to understand and comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study
-
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 2

Have a diagnosis of histologically confirmed metastatic colorectal cancer with primary tumor located beyond the splenic flexure. Histologic confirmation of a colorectal primary tumor is acceptable if accompanied by radiographic evidence of metastatic disease.
-
For Cohort A: Participants must enroll for study treatment in the first or second-line metastatic setting. Participants may receive 1 month of standard chemotherapy in the metastatic setting and still be eligible to initiate protocol therapy in the first-line setting. Adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy does not count as a line of therapy even if given in the setting of metastatic disease (oligometastatic), unless disease recurrence was noted within 6 months of completing the last dose of the adjuvant of neoadjuvant therapy.
-
For Cohort B: Participants must have had at least stable disease (per treatment physician) on a prior EGFR inhibitor containing regimen and it must be at least 4 months since the prior anti-EGFR inhibitor treatment was completed. Participants previously enrolled in Cohort A can later enroll in Cohort B should the eligibility criteria be met.

-
Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1,000 / mcL

The two contraception methods can be comprised of two barrier methods, or a barrier method plus a hormonal method.
-
Tumor must be mismatch repair (MMR) proficient as determined by microsatellite instability or immunohistochemistry for MMR proteins
-
