FOLFOX6m Plus SIR-Spheres Microspheres vs FOLFOX6m Alone in Patients With Liver Mets From Primary Colorectal Cancer

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer Metastatic
Interventions
Drug: FOLFOX6m
Device: SIR-Spheres microspheres
Registration Number
NCT01721954
Lead Sponsor
Sirtex Medical
Brief Summary

This study is a randomized, multi-center study that will compare the efficacy and safety of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) using SIR-Spheres microspheres plus a standard chemotherapy regimen of FOLFOX6m versus FOLFOX6m alone as first-line therapy in patients with non-resectable liver metastases from primary colorectal carcinoma.

Treatment with the biologic agent bevacizumab, if part of the standard of care at participating institutions, is allowed within this study at the discretion of the Investigator.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Age 18 years or older
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent
  • Unequivocal and measurable CT evidence of liver metastases which are not treatable by surgical resection or local ablation
  • Limited extra-hepatic metastases in the lung and/or lymph nodes are permitted (Lung: 5 lesions total, < 1 cm, or 1 single lesion of up to 1.7 cm; Lymph nodules in one single anatomic area (pelvis, abdomen or chest): any number, < 2 cm)
  • All imaging evidence used as part of the screening process must be within 28 days
  • Suitable for either treatment regimen
  • WHO performance status 0-1
  • Adequate hematological, renal and hepatic function
  • Life expectancy of at least 3 months without any active treatment
Exclusion Criteria
  • Evidence of ascites, cirrhosis, portal hypertension, main portal or venous involvement or thrombosis as determined by clinical or radiologic assessment
  • Previous radiotherapy delivered to the liver
  • Non-malignant disease that would render the patient unsuitable for treatment according to the protocol
  • Peripheral neuropathy > grade 2 (NCI-CTC)
  • Dose-limiting toxicity associated with previous adjuvant 5-FU or oxaliplatin chemotherapy
  • Prior non-adjuvant chemotherapy for any malignancy. Adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer is permitted provided that it was completed more than 6 months before entry into the study
  • Pregnant or breast feeding
  • Concurrent or prior history of cancer other than adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
  • Allergy to contrast media that would preclude angiography of the hepatic arteries

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival (OS)From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause assessed up 3 yrs 8 months

OS defined as the time interval between the date of randomization and the date of death from any cause.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free SurvivalFrom date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years 8 months.

PFS defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as an increase in the sum of the longest diameters of ≥ 20% and an absolute increase in the sum of the longest diameters of ≥ 5 mm, or the appearance of a new lesion.
