A New Agent GM-CT-01 in Combination With 5-FU, Avastin and Leucovorin in Subjects With Colorectal Cancer

Phase 2
Withdrawn
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
Drug: 5-Fluorouracil, Leukovorin, bevacizumab
Registration Number
NCT00388700
Lead Sponsor
Galectin Therapeutics Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether the combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) plus a DAVANAT (carbohydrate polymer) along with Avastin and Leucovorin (LV) is beneficial in treating colorectal cancer in patients unable to tolerate intensive chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase II, multi-center study of DAVANAT which has been shown to increase the anti-tumor activity of 5-FU in mice. 5-FU is a chemotherapy drug commonly used to treat tumors. A Phase I study of 40 patients showed that DAVANAT in different doses plus 5-FU was well tolerated in patients with different types of solid tumors who failed standard, approved treatments.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary Outcomes: Assess the efficacy and safety of GM-CT-01 administered with 5-FU, LV, and Avastin® in the first-line treatment of unresectable, locally advanced, and/or metastatic CRC.When 17 evaluable patients will complete the study

To assess the clinical benefit of a regimen of GM-CT-01/5-FU, LV plus Avastin® when administered intravenously as a first-line treatment to patients with Stage III or IV ,advanced or metastatic CRC. Clinical activity will be assessed by determining the percentage of subjects exhibiting an objective response (complete response \[CR\]) plus partial response \[PR\]). Tumor response will be assessed following Response Evaluation by RECIST guidelines.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Explore progression-free survival (PFS) and survivalWhen at least 17 evaluable patients complete the study

To explore time to tumor progression, duration of response and and survival at 6 and 12 months after the first dose of study drug.

To evaluate the safety of the DAVANAT®/5-FU, LV plus Avastin® regimen.Throughout the study and when 17 evaluable patients will when complete the study

Assess safety of regimen and also patient reported outcomes using a Quality of Life (QoL) instrument.
