Clinical Trial Summary

To estimate progression-free survival at one year in elderly patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type unresectable mCRC and good performance status treated with FOLFIRI + panitumumab as first-line therapy.

The clinical hypothesis of this study is that the combination of panitumumab and FOLFIRI is a good treatment option in elderly patients with good performance status and RAS/BRAF wild-type unresectable mCRC. Another purpose of this clinical trial is to determine the RAS/BRAF mutation status in liquid biopsies at baseline and at the time of disease progression.

Description:

Phase II, multicentre, single-arm trial. Elderly patients with good performance status and RAS/BRAF wild-type unresectable mCRC will be evaluated before being included in this trial. Eligible patients will receive panitumumab plus FOLFIRI for disease control until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, investigator decision or the patient's withdrawal of consent.

Tumour response will be evaluated by investigators using RECIST criteria (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) version 1.1. Tumour response will be evaluated every 8 weeks until disease progression is documented. Disease response will be confirmed no less than 28 days after the criteria for response are first met. Radiographic progression of subjects with symptoms indicating disease progression will be evaluated at the time of symptom onset.

Following disease progression, information will be collected on the subsequent lines of treatment chosen by the investigator and survival at follow-up visits held every 12 weeks (± 4 weeks) until completion of the trial (approximately 24 months after inclusion of the last patient in the trial).

A blood sample will be taken at baseline and at the time of disease progression in order to determine the RAS/BRAF mutation status.

16. Treatment for systemic infection within 14 days prior to the start of the study treatment,

17. Clinically significant sensory peripheral neuropathy,

18. Any concurrent disease that may increase the risk associated with study participation or may interfere with the interpretation of study results,

19. Any investigational product within 30 days prior to inclusion,

20. Surgery (not including diagnostic biopsy or the placement of a central line) and/or radiotherapy within 28 days prior to inclusion in the study,

21. Males whose partner is of child-bearing age and who does not agree to use adequate contraceptive precautions, i.e. double-barrier methods (e.g. diaphragm plus condom) or abstinence for the duration of the study and for 1 month after the last administration of the study drug,

22. Subjects who do not agree or are unable to meet the study requirements,

23. Psychological, familial, sociological or geographical conditions potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and the follow-up schedule. Such conditions should be discussed with the patient before enrolment in the clinical trial
