About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Dasatinib (NSC 732517) in Previously-Treated Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This phase II trial is studying dasatinib to see how well it works in treating patients with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for their growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the progression-free survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have progressed on or following two prior chemotherapy regimens and are then treated with dasatinib.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the objective response rates in patients treated with dasatinib. II. Determine the overall survival of patients treated with dasatinib. III. Determine the toxicity in patients treated with dasatinib.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the incidence of somatic mutations in c-src, c-yes, fyn, lck, hck, lyn, yrk and csk in archival primary and metastatic colorectal cancer tissues from these patients and to correlate this with clinical outcome.

II. Determine the incidence of total c-src and phosphorylated c-src expression in archival primary and metastatic colorectal cancer specimens from these patients, and to correlate this with clinical outcome.

III. Evaluate the effect of dasatinib on serum VEGF levels.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive oral dasatinib twice daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Blood is collected on days 1 (prior to the first dose of dasatinib) and 15 of course 1 for measurement of VEGF pre-and post-dasatinib administration. Archived tumor tissue (tumor or core biopsy; primary or metastatic lesion) is collected for identification of the incidence of somatic mutations and polymorphisms by polymerase chain reaction and electrophoresis and for measurement of total c-src and phosphorylated src expression by immunohistochemistry.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for at least 8 weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression-free Survival Rate

    Progression will be evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee. Patients who are still alive and have not progressed will be censored at the date of the last negative examination. A Simon (1989), optimal, two-stage design will be employed. The progression-free survival count will be the proportion of subjects who are alive and progression-free at 4 months.

    Measured: From the start of treatment to the time of disease progression or death from any cause, assessed at 4 months after completion of treatment (i.e., up to 12 months.)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Response Rate (RR) (Complete or Partial Responders)

    Response will be evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the RECIST Committee. The response rate is the proportion of subjects who experienced a complete or partial response.

    Measured: Every 2 courses, assessed up to 8 weeks after completion of study treatment (i.e., up to 10 months)

  2. Incidence of Somatic Mutations

    Multivariable analysis of progression-free survival duration will be performed using the Cox (1972) regression model to evaluate the prognostic value of somatic mutations. For the mutational analysis endpoints, genetic mutations will also be correlated with drug activity via Fisher's exact test for comparisons of responders with non-responders and for comparison of patients progression-free and 4 months vs. those with early progression or death

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Association Between the Incidence of Total C-src and Phosphorylated C-src Expression and Response

    Examined by comparing expression in those who have an objective response versus those who do not and in those with and without disease progression at 4 months using Fisher's exact test.

    Measured: 4 months

  4. Change in Plasma Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Levels Over 15 Days

    Changes of VEGF will be correlated with response rates and 4-month progression-free survival utilizing the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

    Measured: At baseline and day 15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing dasatinib and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Recurrent Colon Cancer and Recurrent Rectal Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 50 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Sep 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free Survival Rate (time frame: From the start of treatment to the time of disease progression or death from any cause, assessed at 4 months after completion of treatment (i.e., up to 12 months.)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 May 2014.
