Colorectal Cancers Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Phase IIb, Nonrandomized, Open-Label Trial With Mouse Renal Adenocarcinoma (RENCA) Cell Containing Agarose-Agarose Macrobeads Compared With Best Supportive Care in Patients With Treatment-Resistant, Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma
This is a clinical research study of an investigational (FDA IND-BB 10091) treatment for patients with advanced colorectal cancer that no longer responds to standard therapies. The treatment is being evaluated for its effect on tumor growth. It consists of the placement (implantation) of small beads that contain mouse renal adenocarcinoma cells (RENCA macrobeads). The cells in the macrobeads produce substances that have been shown to slow or stop the growth of tumors in experimental animals and veterinary patients. It has been tested in 31 human subjects with different types of cancers in a Phase I safety trial. Phase II studies in patients with colorectal, pancreatic or prostate cancers are in progress
This is a Phase IIb, multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label study with RENCA macrobeads in patients with treatment-resistant, metastatic colorectal carcinoma to determine the effect of RENCA macrobead implantation on overall survival compared with best supportive care. Two treatment groups will be enrolled in this study, as follows: - Group A (n=40) - patients who will undergo up to 4 implantations of RENCA macrobeads (no less than 3 months apart), at a dosage level of 8 RENCA macrobeads per kilogram of body weight - Group B (n=80) - patients who had previously decided (independently of this study) to receive, or continue receiving, best supportive care, defined as management of symptoms aimed at maintaining or improving quality of life, but not including approved therapies targeting the patient's malignancy ;
