Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the small bowel or ampulla of Vater that is either unresectable or metastatic.
  • Adequate tumor tissue available for KRAS mutational analysis or known KRAS wild-type status.
  • Prior progression on or intolerance to treatment with a fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin. Recurrence of disease within 6 months from the completion of adjuvant therapy with both a fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin is considered progression.
  • Patients must have measurable disease as per the revised Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria (Version 1.1).
  • If radiation was previously received, the measurable disease must be outside the previous radiation field, unless this area has demonstrated evidence of radiographic growth.
  • A minimum of 2 weeks must have elapsed from completion of any prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy or surgery and the start date of study therapy.

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 - 2.
  • Adequate organ function including: a) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) =/>1,000/ul; b) Platelets =/>75,000/ul; c) Total bilirubin =/< 1.5 x ULN; in patients with known Gilbert's syndrome direct bilirubin =/<1.5 x ULN will be used as organ function criteria, instead of total bilirubin; d) AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) < 3 x ULN; e) Creatinine <2 x ULN.
  • Negative urine or serum pregnancy test in women with childbearing potential (defined as not post-menopausal for 12 months or no previous surgical sterilization), within one week prior to initiation of treatment.
  • The effects of panitumumab on the developing fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for six months following the completion of therapy. Should a woman become pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
  • Patients must sign an Informed Consent and Authorization indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of this study and the known risks involved.
  • Magnesium level =/> lower limit of normal.

Who cannot join

  • Prior anti-epidermal growth factor receptor antibody therapy (eg. panitumumab or cetuximab) or prior small molecule anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy (eg. erlotinib) for adenocarcinoma of the small bowel or ampulla of Vater.
  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents nor have received any investigational drug 30 days prior to enrollment.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit adherence with study requirements.
  • Interstitial pneumonia or extensive and symptomatic interstitial fibrosis of the lung.
  • Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with panitumumab, breast feeding must be discontinued.
  • Age <18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of panitumumab in patients <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Panitumumab in KRAS Wild-type Locally Advanced or Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Small Bowel or Ampulla of Vater

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if panitumumab can help to control advanced cancer of the small bowel or ampulla of Vater. The safety of this drug will also be studied.

Read the detailed description

Panitumumab is designed to "turn off" a protein that is important in cell growth. This may stop the growth of cancer cells.

Study Drug Administration:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will receive the study drug during 14 day study "cycles."

On Day 1 of every cycle, you will receive panitumumab by vein over about 60-90 minutes.

Study Visits:

On or before Day 1 of each cycle:

  • You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your weight.
  • Your performance status will be recorded.
  • You will be asked about any symptoms you may be experiencing and any drugs you may be taking.
  • Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests.

Every 4 cycles:

  • You will have a chest X-ray or a computed tomography (CT) scan of your chest to check the status of the disease.
  • You will have a CT or MRI scan to check the status of the disease. If your scan shows that you are responding to the treatment, you will have another CT or MRI scan 6 weeks later.

Length of Study:

You may continue receiving the study drugs for as long as the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will no longer be able to take the study drugs if the disease gets worse or intolerable side effects occur.

End-of-Treatment:

After you stop taking the study drugs for any reason, you will have an end-of-treatment visit. The following tests and procedures will be performed:

  • You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your weight.
  • Your performance status will be recorded.
  • You will be asked about any symptoms you may be experiencing and any drugs you may be taking.
  • Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
  • If the doctor thinks it is needed, you will have a CT or MRI scan of the abdomen and pelvis to check the status of the disease.

Follow-Up:

Thirty (30) days after your last dose of study drug(s), you will be asked about any symptoms you may be experiencing and any drugs you may be taking. If you are unable to come to MD Anderson for this, the study staff will call you and ask you these questions. This call will last about 30 minutes.

You will then be called every 3 months and asked the same questions. Each call will last about 15-30 minutes.

If you are taken off study treatment for reasons other than the disease getting worse, you will have a CT or MRI scan of the abdomen and pelvis to check the status of the disease every 12 weeks (+/- 2 weeks) after the End-of-Treatment visit. This will be done until the disease gets worse and if you do not start any other anti-cancer treatment.

This is an investigational study. Panitumumab is commercially available and FDA approved to treat a certain type of colorectal cancer. Its use in this type of cancer is investigational.

Up to 27 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate (RR)

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: up to 100 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Progression-free Survival (PFS) for CAPOX and Panitumumab

    Time interval in months from date of first treatment until the date of first documented progression of participants.

    Measured: 7.6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Panitumumab in people with Gastrointestinal Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 12 inclusion and 6 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 21 Feb 2020. 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 21 Feb 2020). 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?

Response Rate (RR) (time frame: up to 100 weeks). 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 NCT01202409, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Feb 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
