Clinical Trial Summary

A Phase II trial to demonstrate the response rate, using the Response evaluation criteria in solid tumours (RECIST) criteria, of patients with locally advanced / metastatic colorectal cancer treated with combination of irinotecan, oxaliplatin, UFT and cetuximab.

ENDPOINTS Primary: Objective response rate (RECIST) Secondary: Progression free survival (PFS), Overall survival (OS) Toxicity (CTCAE), Resectability of liver, lung and pelvic disease after chemotherapy, Time to progression (TTP).

POPULATION: The trial aims to recruit 50 patients with inoperable, metastatic colorectal cancer ELIGIBILITY: Histologically confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma Normal haematology and adequate renal and liver function Written informed consent and able to attend follow-up for at least 3 months TREATMENT 4 weekly cycles of chemotherapy with alternating irinotecan (day 1) and oxaliplatin(day 15). Cetuximab every 2 weeks and oral UFT with Leucovorin for 3 weeks every 4 weeks.

DURATION First patient recruited April 2009. Accrual to take place over 24 months Follow-up will continue until death or for a minimum of 3 years

Intervention

Drug:
• Cetuximab
Cetuximab will be prepared under Good Manufacturing practice (GMP) and supplied by Merck KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany) as a solution for intravenous infusion. It will be made up into 250ml with N/Saline. Dose administered is 400mg/m2 and will be given on day 1 and day 15 of a 28 day cycle.Cetuximab will always be administered first, i.e. the cetuximab infusion should be completed one hour before any chemotherapy begins. The cetuximab dose must always be based on the body surface area(BSA). There is no restriction for cetuximab in patients with a BSA > 2 m2 .
• Irinotecan
Dose is 180mg/m2 made up into 250ml with 5% dextrose or 0.9% saline. It will be administered as a short infusion over 60-90 minutes after a 60 minute gap left after cetuximab administration. Irinotecan is administered on day 1 of the 28 day cycle.
• Oxaliplatin
Dose is 100mg/m2 and will be made up into 250ml with 5% dextrose. It will be administered as a short infusion over 120 minutes after the 60 minute gap left after cetuximab administration. Oxaliplatin is administered on day 15 of the 28 day cycle.
• UFT
UFT dose is 250mg/m2 and is given in three divided doses with calcium folate 30mg p.o. tds on days 1-21 of the 28 day cycle. The highest dose of UFT should be given in the morning if the dose cannot be divided equally.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Objective response rate (according to RECIST criteria)	Patients will receive triphasic CT scans at 8 weekly intervals after treatment has started. Patients remain on trial until disease progression or at the discretion of the Investigator.	8 weeks post starting treatment	No
Secondary	Progression Free Survival	Progression will be defined according to RECIST criteria with appropriate clinical assessment and radiological investigations. This will be measured from the time of entry into the study.	8 week intervals post starting treatment	No
Secondary	Overall survival (OS; all causes of death).	The date and cause of death will be recorded for each patient. Survival will be measured from the date of registration into the trial and will be reported on an intention-to treat-basis.	3 years post treatment	No
Secondary	Toxicity	Grade 3 or 4 Adverse Events experienced from the start of treatment up to the point of the first response CT scheduled for 8 weeks after treatment start date.; Number and description of Serious Adverse Events experienced will also be recorded.	2 months post starting treatment	Yes
Secondary	Resectability of liver, lung and pelvic disease after chemotherapy		8 weekly intervals from the start of treatment	No
Secondary	Time to progression (TTP)	This is defined as the time from start of treatment to the time of documented radiological progression of disease locally	8 weekly intervals following starting treatment	No
