About this study

Official title: Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-Center Study of a Maintenance Therapy With Immunomodulator MGN1703 in Patients With Advanced Colorectal Carcinoma With Disease Control After Initial First-line Therapy

This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, multi-center clinical study to evaluate efficacy and safety of a maintenance therapy with the immunomodulator MGN1703 compared to placebo control. The study will be conducted in patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma (AJCC Stage IV) with disease control after first-line standard chemotherapy regimens.

Read the detailed description

The phase 2 study will be conducted in patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma with disease control after first-line standard chemotherapy regimens with oral or intravenous fluoropyrimidines/leucovorin and irinotecan or oxaliplatin combined with a standard dose of bevacizumab lasted between 4.5 and 6 months, whereas the treatment duration with irinotecan or oxaliplatin should not be less than 3 months. Studies confirmed that completely chemotherapy-free intervals can be applicable in patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma who achieved disease control after initial first-line chemotherapy. Those therapy holidays minimize toxicity and unnecessary treatment load, reduce intensity of treatment, allow patients to stay longer on therapy, prevent therapy discontinuations due to toxicity, preserve the ability to re-administer chemotherapy later, and increase quality of life of the patients. The therapy-free interval represents a possibility to evaluate the efficacy of the study drug, MGN1703.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of median progression-free survival (PFS) in both treatment groups

    Measured: Measured on accrual time 3 years

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Assessment of PFS rate

    Measured: Measured at landmarks 12, 18 and 24 weeks after treatment start, and afterwards every 6 weeks until treatment stop

  2. Evaluation of median overall survival (OS)

    Measured: Measured on accrual time 3 years

  3. Assessment of OS proportion in both groups

    Measured: Measured at landmarks 12, 18 and 24 weeks after treatment start, and afterwards every 6 weeks until treatment stop

  4. Evaluation of overall response rate (ORR)

    Measured: Measured on accrual time 3 years

  5. Evaluation of duration of response (complete response, partial response, stable disease) as time from initial determination of response to progressive disease measured by RECIST

    Measured: Measured on accrual time 3 years

  6. Assessment of the dynamic of clinical and laboratory parameters

    Measured: An average time: participants are followed until progress

  7. Evaluation of immunologic response to MGN1703

    Measured: An average time: participants are followed until progress

  8. Assessment of quality of life (QOL)

    Measured: An average time: participants are followed until progress

  9. Assessment of the safety profile of MGN1703

    Measured: An average time: participants are followed until progress

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MGN1703 in people with Advanced Colorectal Carcinoma, run by Mologen AG at 12 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 12 inclusion and 18 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 20 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Germany, Russia, Austria, Czechia, France 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Evaluation of median progression-free survival (PFS) in both treatment groups (time frame: Measured on accrual time 3 years). 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 20 Jun 2014.
