About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase 2 Study of Valproic Acid in Combination With Bevacizumab and Oxaliplatin/Fluoropyrimidine Regimens in Patients With Ras-mutated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

The primary aim of this study is to test whether the combination of valproic acid with bevacizumab and oxaliplatin/fluoropyrimidine regimens (mFOLFOX6/mOXXEL) can prolong progression free survival (PFS) as compared with bevacizumab and oxaliplatin/fluoropyrimidine regimens alone as first-line treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with mutation of RAS.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive oxaliplatin based chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6/mOXELL) plus bevacizumab for 12 cycles or the same chemotherapy plus bevacizumab and valproic acid for 12 cycle.

Thereafter, in both arms, patients who are progression free after 12 cycles (24 weeks) of treatment continue maintenance bevacizumab+fluoropyrimidines until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Surgery may be carried out in case of appropriate tumour reduction is evident at response evaluation. Resectability has to be evaluated by a multidisciplinary review team and the decision regarding post-surgery chemotherapy is at the discretion of the investigators, according to the policy commonly adopted by their Institution in clinical practice.

What is being measured

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

  1. progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time elapsed from the date of randomization to the date of progression, as defined by investigators, or the date of death, whichever comes first

    Measured: until progression of disease (up to 5 years)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. centrally reviewed PFS (CR-PFS)

    FSCR is also measured as the time elapsed from the date of randomization to the date of progression, as defined by independent blind central review, or the date of death, whichever comes first

    Measured: at week 12th and 24th and thereafter every 12 weeks until progression of disease (up to 5 years(

  2. overall survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time elapsed from randomization to death due to any cause

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Determination of changes in quality of life

    EORTC QLQ-C30, a quality of life questionnaires, composed by 30 items graded from1 (not at all) to 4 (very much) after 1 year from the diagnosis

    Measured: at baseline, at week 12th and 24th and every 12 weeks thereafter until progression disease (up to 5 years)

  4. Response rate

    according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1

    Measured: at week 12th and 24th and thereafter every 12 weeks until progression of disease (up to 5 years)

  5. Number of participants with treatment-related side effects

    graded according to Common Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0

    Measured: baseline, day 1 of each cycle and on maintenance treatment until progression disease (up to 5 years)

  6. metastases resection rate (R0/R1/R2)

    determined at surgery (resection status) by pathologist follow: R0 no cancer cells at the resection margin; R1 microscopic positive margin, R2 macroscopic positive margin

    Measured: up to 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab, mFOLFOX6 regimen and mOXXEL regimen in people with Ras-mutated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute, Naples at 1 site in Italy.

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 10 inclusion and 37 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Antonio Avallone, MD (+39 081 590 3629, a.avallone@istitutotumori.na.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

progression-free survival (PFS) (time frame: until progression of disease (up to 5 years)). 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 NCT04310176, 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 13 Nov 2023.
