Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized phase III trial is studying giving oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and fluorouracil together with bevacizumab to see how well it works compared to oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and fluorouracil alone in treating patients who have undergone surgery for stage II or stage III colon cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as bevacizumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Giving chemotherapy together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether treatment with oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and fluorouracil is more effective with or without bevacizumab in treating patients who have undergone surgery for colon cancer.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare the relative efficacy of mFOLFOX6 + bevacizumab with that of mFOLFOX6 alone in prolonging disease-free survival (DFS).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare the relative efficacy of mFOLFOX6 + bevacizumab with that of mFOLFOX6 alone in prolonging survival (S).

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the persistence of proteinuria following the discontinuation of bevacizumab.

II. To correlate the development of proteinuria with clinical sequelae. III. To evaluate the risk factors for development of proteinuria. IV. To determine the effect of discontinuation of bevacizumab on hypertension. V. To estimate the incidence of delayed vascular events such as myocardia infarction, CNS ischemia, and thrombosis in patients receiving chemotherapy + bevacizumab.

VI. To assess the effect of bevacizumab on ovarian function in premenopausal women.

VII. To assess the incidence rate of immunogenicity and examine post-treatment serum levels of bevacizumab in patients receiving bevacizumab.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive adjuvant chemotherapy comprising concurrent oxaliplatin and leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours on day 1. Patients also receive adjuvant fluorouracil IV over 2-4 minutes on day 1 followed by fluorouracil IV continuously over 46 hours on days 1 and 2. Treatment repeats every 14 days for 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II: Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive adjuvant oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil as in arm I. Treatment repeats every 14 days for 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of adjuvant chemotherapy, patients continue to receive bevacizumab alone every 14 days for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

- Patients with T4 tumors that have involved an adjacent structure (e.g., bladder, small intestine, ovary, etc.) by direct extension from the primary tumor are eligible if all of the following conditions are met:

- All or a portion of the adjacent structure was removed en bloc with the primary tumor

- In the opinion of the surgeon, all grossly visible tumor was completely resected ("curative resection")

- Histologic evaluation by the pathologist confirms the margins of the resected specimen are not involved by malignant cells; and

- Local radiation therapy will not be utilized

- Patients with more than one synchronous primary colon tumor are eligible; (staging classification will be based on the more advanced primary tumor)

- Patients must have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1

- At the time of randomization, postoperative absolute granulocyte count (AGC) must be >= 1500/mm^3 (or < 1500/mm^3, if in the opinion of the investigator, this represents an ethnic or racial variation of normal)

- At the time of randomization, the postoperative platelet count must be >= 100,000/mm^3

- Bilirubin must be =< ULN for the lab unless the patient has a chronic grade 1 bilirubin elevation due to Gilbert's disease or similar syndrome due to slow conjugation of bilirubin

- Alkaline phosphatase must be < 2.5 x ULN for the lab

- AST must be < 1.5 x ULN for the lab

- If AST is > ULN, serologic testing for hepatitis B and C must be performed and results must be negative

- Serum creatinine =< 1.5 x ULN for the lab

- Urine protein/creatinine (UPC) ratio of < 1.0; patients with a UPC ratio >= 1.0 must undergo a 24-hour urine collection, which must be an adequate collection and must demonstrate < 1 gm of protein in the 24-hour urine collection in order to participate in the study

- Patients with prior malignancies, including colorectal cancers, are eligible if they have been disease-free for >= 5 years and are deemed by their physician to be at low risk for recurrence; patients with squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, melanoma in situ, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or carcinoma in situ of the colon or rectum that have been effectively treated are eligible, even if these conditions were diagnosed within 5 years prior to randomization
