About this study

Official title: Phase 1b/2 Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Rivoceranib or Trifluridine/Tipiracil as Monotherapies and Rivoceranib and Trifluridine/Tipiracil as Combination Therapy in Subjects With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of rivoceranib when used in combination with trifluridine/tipiracil in participants with mCRC and to assess progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with mCRC.

Read the detailed description

This a multicenter open-label study comparing safety, tolerability and efficacy of rivoceranib and trifluridine/tipiracil monotherapies, and the combination of rivoceranib plus trifluridine/tipiracil in participants with mCRC. Participants with histologically or cytologically definitive adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum who have progressed following standard of care therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) will be randomly assigned (1:1:2) to rivoceranib, trifluridine/tipiracil or rivoceranib plus trifluridine/tipiracil treatment groups.

The study will consist of an initial phase 1b portion to assess the safety of and determine the RP2D of rivoceranib in combination with trifluridine/tipiracil. A subsequent phase 2 portion will assess the primary endpoint of progression free survival (PFS) by investigator assessment. When a participant discontinues rivoceranib and/or trifluridine/tipiracil for any reason, the participant will enter the 12-month survival follow-up period until withdrawal of consent from the study, lost to follow-up, end of the study or death, whichever occurs earlier.

The maximum duration of the study is estimated to be 36 months, which includes screening, treatment, and follow-up phases.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Rivoceranib and Trifluridine/Tipiracil in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Elevar Therapeutics at 4 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 21 inclusion and 27 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 2 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 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.

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: Phase 2 portion of the study was not performed due to redirection of the rivoceranib development plan by the Sponsor.). 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?

(Phase 1b) Percentage of Participants with Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) During Cycle 1 (time frame: Baseline up to 28 days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 May 2024.
