Combination Chemotherapy and Bevacizumab With or Without Bevacizumab Maintenance Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00952029
Lead Sponsor
Federation Francophone de Cancerologie Digestive
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bevacizumab may stop the growth of colorectal cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) is more effective when given with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving combination chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab to see how well it works in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Compare disease-control duration in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer receiving FOLFIRI chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab with or without bevacizumab maintenance therapy.

Secondary

* Determine objective response rate.

* Determine non-hematologic grade 3-4 (except alopecia) toxicity rate.

* Determine overall toxicity rate.

* Determine duration of chemotherapy-free interval.

* Determine progression-free survival.

* Determine overall survival.

* Determine time-to-treatment failure.

* Determine quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30).

* Complete geriatric evaluation.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to cancer center, primary tumor (resected vs unresected), and Köhne criteria (low vs intermediate vs high). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

* Arm A: Patients receive FOLFIRI chemotherapy comprising irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes and leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours on day 1 and fluorouracil IV over 46 hours on days 1-2. Chemotherapy treatment repeats every 2 weeks for 12 courses. Patients also receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes once every 2 weeks during chemotherapy. Patients then receive bevacizumab maintenance therapy once every 2 weeks during the chemotherapy-free interval.

* Arm B: Patients receive FOLFIRI chemotherapy and bevacizumab as in arm A. Patients receive no treatment during the chemotherapy-free interval.

In all arms, the chemotherapy treatment and the chemotherapy-free interval treatment repeats in the absence of disease progression during the chemotherapy portion or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who progress during the chemotherapy-free interval will receive 12 more courses of chemotherapy.

All patients complete quality of life questionnaires (QLQ-30) and patients ≥ 75 also complete the geriatric questionnaire at baseline and every 8 weeks during study treatment.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 8 weeks.
