About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Nintedanib and Capecitabine in Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of nintedanib when given together with capecitabine and to see how well they work in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Nintedanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It may also block the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving nintedanib with capecitabine may be a better treatment for colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  • I. To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and examine the dose-limiting toxicities of nintedanib when administered with capecitabine within the study population and, establish the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). (Phase I)
  • II. To assess progression free survival at 18 weeks. (Phase II)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  • I. To assess median progression free survival. (Phase II)
  • II. To assess median overall survival from the date of enrollment to the time of death will be documented. (Phase II)
  • III. To assess the objective response rate as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1. (Phase II)
  • IV. To assess the toxicity of dose regimen using the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 4.0). (Phase II)

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  • I. Measurement of circulating angiogenic cytokines (CAFs): vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (sVEGFR) 1/2, placental growth factor (PlGF), granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF), leptin, interleukin (IL)-1 alpha (a), IL-8, IL-6, fibroblast growth factor basic (FGFb), osteopontin and pentraxin-3. (Phase II)
  • II. Measurement of drug levels and pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling. (Phase II)

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of nintedanib followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive capecitabine orally (PO) twice daily (BID) (every 12 hours) on days 1-14 and nintedanib PO BID (every 12 hours) on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, every 28 days until resolution or satisfactory stabilization of persistent drug-related toxicity, and then every 6 months thereafter.

What is being measured

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

  1. To Examine the DLT

    The recommended Phase II dose is of the Nintedanib and Capecitabine combination is defined as the dose level that causes dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) in ≤ 1 out of 6 patients at highest dose level below the maximally administered dose.

    Capecitabine is fixed dose at 2000 mg/m2; while Nintedanib is evaluated at 150mg (dose level 1) and 200 mg (dose level 2).

    Measured: At least 21 days.

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate, Defined as the Proportion of Patients Who Survive Without Disease Progression Via the RECIST Version 1.1 (Phase II)

    Progressive disease is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions (the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm) or the appearance of new lesions.

    Will be summarized using standard Kaplan-Meier methods.

    Measured: At 18 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Median PFS (Phase II)

    Progressive disease is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions (the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm) or the appearance of new lesions. Estimates of median PFS will be obtained with corresponding 90% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Median OS (Phase II)

    Overall survival is defined as time from date of subject enrollment to the date of death due to any cause. Estimates of median OS will be obtained with corresponding 90% confidence intervals.

    Measured: From the date of enrollment to the time of death, assessed up to 2 years

  3. Objective Response Rate

    Overall Response is defined as Complete Response: Disappearance of all target lesions and any lymph nodes must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm; or Partial Response: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions; or Stable Disease: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response, nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease.

    Measured: After every 3 cycles (9 weeks) of therapy.

  4. Aggregate Rates of Adverse Events Measured by CTCAE Version 4.0 (Phase II)

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events, Graded According to the CTEP NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE Version 4.0).

    Measured: Up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Capecitabine, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Nintedanib in people with Colon Adenocarcinoma and Rectal Adenocarcinoma, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 2 sites 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 17 inclusion and 24 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 8 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 7 Jul 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?

To Examine the DLT (time frame: At least 21 days.). 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 NCT02393755, 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 8 Jul 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
