A Phase 2 Study of Panitumumab in Patients With Cetuximab-refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT01801904
- Lead Sponsor
- National Cancer Institute, Naples
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess if panitumumab is active enough to warrant comparative studies in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that has progressed after treatment with cetuximab.
- Detailed Description
The study was amended with modification of inclusion criteria (from wild-type tumor KRAS gene to wild-type RAS gene, including KRAS and NRAS exons 2, 3 and 4)
RAS mutational status of tumors of patients enrolled before amendment 1 approval will be centrally revised. Patients whose tumors will result RAS mutated at the biomarkers central revision, will be replaced. Therefore, the overall sample size at both the stages may be higher than the one initially planned.
