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 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically proven CRC with 1 to 8 metachronous or synchronous liver metastases considered to be completely resectable.
  • Primary tumor (or liver metastasis) of CRC must be KRAS and NRAS status "wild type".
  • Patients must have undergone complete resection (R0) of the primary tumor at least 4 weeks before randomization. Or for patients with synchronous metastases the primary tumor can be resected (R0) at the same time as the liver metastases if: the patient has a non-obstructive primary tumor and is able to receive preoperative chemotherapy (3-4 months) before surgery.

  • Patients must be 18 years old or older.
  • A WHO performance status of 0 or 1. Radiotherapy alone is allowed if given pre or post protocol treatment.

  • Previous adjuvant chemotherapy for primary CRC is allowed if completed at least 12 months before inclusion in this study.
  • All the following tests should be done within 4 weeks prior to randomization:
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 109/L, platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L, hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL and white blood cell count (WBC) ≥ 3 x 109/L.
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) (to exclude severe renal impairment); no significant proteinuria (urine protein < 1g/24 hours urine collection) OR urine protein/creatinine ratio < 1.0 OR 1+ proteinuria on urine dipstick.

Including known allergy or any other adverse reaction to any of the study drugs (including any of the excipients) or to any related compound, including hypersensitivity to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell products or other recombinant human or humanized antibodies.
  • Presence of any psychological, familial, sociological, or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial.

About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of FOLFOX Alone, FOLFOX Plus Bevacizumab and FOLFOX Plus Panitumumab as Perioperative Treatment in Patients With Resectable Liver Metastases From Wild Type KRAS/NRAS Colorectal Cancer

Patients presenting with multiple innumerable liver metastases will probably never come to resection, however, for all others, including patients with numerous multiple metastases or large metastases,resection should be considered after limited chemotherapy.

There is consensus for a backbone chemotherapy consisting of fluoropyrimidine + oxaliplatin. FOLFOX was used in the previous EORTC study and is again recommended.

The addition of targeted agents to standard chemotherapy in the perioperative strategy for mCRC might increase the ORR and R0 resectability, without significant increase in toxicity, therefore translating to a better outcome.

It was therefore decided to design an open label, randomized, multi-center, 3-arm late phase II study.

Arm A: (standard) mFOLFOX6 + Surgery Arm B: (experimental) mFOLFOX6 + Bevacizumab + Surgery Arm C: (experimental) mFOLFOX6 + Panitumumab + Surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression free survival

    Increase in progression free survival rate at 1 year in each experimental arm (mFOLFOX6 + bevacizumab or panitumumab) compared to mFOLFOX6 alone arm.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pathological response rate

    Increase in major pathological response rate between mFOLFOX6 alone arm and each experimental arm.

    Measured: 4 years

  2. Resection rate

    Compare the percentage of patients with total resection with these three treatments.

    Measured: 4 years

  3. Overall survival

    Overall survival is defined as the time interval between the date of randomization and the date of death. Patients who are still alive when last traced will be censored at the date of last follow-up.

    Measured: 8 years

  4. Safety

    All adverse events will be recorded; the investigator will assess whether those events are drug related (reasonable possibility, no reasonable possibility) and this assessment will be recorded in the database for all adverse events.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing FOLFOX6, Bevacizumab and Panitumumab in people with Colorectal Cancer Metastatic and Liver Metastases, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 25 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 17 inclusion and 13 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 12 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in France, Belgium, Austria, Netherlands, Spain 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low or poor accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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 (time frame: 1 year). 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 12 Oct 2016.
