About this study
Official title: A Phase 2, Open-Label Study To Evaluate The Efficacy And Safety Of Lenalidomide In Combination With Cetuximab In Pretreated Subjects With K-Ras Mutant Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine whether lenalidomide in combination with cetuximab is safe and effective in patients with KRAS mutant colorectal cancer.
- Conditions
- Colorectal Cancer
- Being tested
- cetuximab, lenalidomide
- Keywords
- Colorectal cancer, Revlimid, Lenalidomide, Cetuximab, Erbitux, KRAS
- Medical subject headings
- Colorectal Neoplasms
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
cetuximabDrug
Also called Erbitux
Intravenous infusions of cetuximab (400 mg/m^2 Cycle 1 Day 1, thereafter 250 mg/m^2), administered on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each 28 day cycle.
lenalidomideDrug
Also called Revlimid
Daily oral lenalidomide 25mg on days 1 to 28 of each 28 day cycle
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| lenalidomide plus cetuximab | Experimental | Combination therapy of lenalidomide plus cetuximab Receives: Drug: cetuximab; Drug: lenalidomide |
| lenalidomide | Experimental | Single agent therapy of lenalidomide Receives: Drug: lenalidomide |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) During the First Treatment Cycle of the Safety Lead-In Period
The number of participants with DLTs determines the maximum tolerated dose of the combination therapy used in the Proof of Concept (POC) period:
If <2 of the initial 6 participants experience a DLT, then the POC will start with lenalidomide at 25 mg.
If ≥2 of the initial 6 participants experienced a DLT, then 6 more subjects were to be enrolled at 20 mg lenalidomide.
If <2 of the additional 6 subjects experienced a DLT, then the lenalidomide starting dose for the POC was to be 20 mg.
If ≥2 of the additional 6 subjects experienced a DLT, then 6 more subjects were to be enrolled at 15 mg lenalidomide.
If <2 of the additional 6 subjects experienced a DLT, then the POC was to start with lenalidomide at 15 mg.
If ≥2 of the additional 6 subjects experienced a DLT, the dosing for the study was to be reassessed by Celgene Corporation and the investigators.
Measured: Up to Day 28 (Cycle 1)
Percentage of Participants With a Response to Treatment During the Proof of Concept Period
Tumor response was evaluated every 2 cycles beginning with Cycle 3 Day 1 and at treatment discontinuation. Response and progression were evaluated using the RECIST 1.1 criteria (Eisenhauer, 2009).
Treatment response includes both complete response and partial response.
- Complete response-disappearance of all lesions
- Partial response-30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline
Analysis was not performed due to the early termination of the study.
Measured: week 9 up to week 24
Secondary outcomes (5)
Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS was calculated as the time from randomization to the earlier of the first documentation of progressive disease (PD), or death on study due to any cause.
Analysis was not performed due to the early termination of the study.
Measured: up to week 24
Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Duration of Response
Duration of response was defined as the time from the initial response date to progressive disease (PD) for participants who achieved an objective confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).
Analysis was not performed due to the early termination of the study.
Measured: up to week 24
Percentage of Participants With Disease Control
Known as the Disease Control Rate (DCR), participants with a complete response, partial response or stable disease contribute to the DCR.
This analysis was not performed due to the early termination of the study.
Measured: up to week 24
Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Overall Survival
Overall survival was defined as the time between randomization and death. It was intended that participants would be followed for up to 5 years following discontinuation from treatment.
Analysis was not performed due to the early termination of the study.
Measured: up to 5.5 years
Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)
TEAEs are any adverse event occurring or worsening on or after the first treatment of any study drug and within 28 days after the last dose of the last study drug received. Relation to study drug was determined by the investigator. Severity of AE is graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.0. Severity is a 5-point scale: 3= severe or medically significant but not life-threatening 4=life-threatening, urgent intervention required 5=death related to AE.
Measured: up to week 28

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing cetuximab and lenalidomide in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Celgene Corporation at 17 sites in 6 countries.
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 4 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 17 sites in Belgium, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Australia and 1 more country. 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 21 May 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?
Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) During the First Treatment Cycle of the Safety Lead-In Period (time frame: Up to Day 28 (Cycle 1)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01032291, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 21 May 2013.
