Cetuximab, Bevacizumab & 5FU/Leucovorin vs. Oxaliplatin, Bevacizumab & 5FU/Leucovorin in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00252564
Lead Sponsor
US Oncology Research
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the rates of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) at 12 months for patients treated with Bev-FOLFOX versus patients treated with FOLF-CB for first line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase III, open label, nonblinded study. A total of 240 eligible patients will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to either treatment Arm.

In this trial, we will compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of this novel combination of biweekly infusional 5-FU/leucovorin plus cetuximab and bevacizumab (FOLF-CB) to the current standard of care, biweekly infusional 5-FU/leucovorin plus oxaliplatin and bevacizumab (Bev-FOLFOX). For practical purposes, this study will be a head to head comparison of oxaliplatin versus cetuximab, since the other components of both regimens will be the same.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)12 months

From randomization to first progression or death, whichever comes first (event); or first new anti-cancer treatment if before or without progression / death (censoring); or last follow-up date otherwise (censoring).

Kaplan-Meier median PFS time and PFS rate (at 12 months)

Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate at 1 Year.12 months

From randomization to first progression or death, whichever comes first (event); or first new anti-cancer treatment if before or without progression / death (censoring); or last follow-up date otherwise (censoring).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival (OS)up to 4 years

From randomization to death (event); or last follow-up date if alive (censoring).

Kaplan-Meier OS median time.

Objective Response Rate12 months

Percentage of patients with tumor response (by RECIST criteria, including complete response, or CR, i.e. disappearance of all target lesions; and partial response, or PR, i.e. at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of the longest diameters) among all "per-protocol population" patients.
