A Phase I/II Study of XELOXIRI and Bevacizumab as First-line Treatment in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Phase 1
Conditions
Metastatic Cancer
Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal Adenocarcinoma
Interventions
Drug: XELOXIRI/Bevacizumab
Registration Number
NCT04380103
Lead Sponsor
Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences
Brief Summary

The phase I/II study was designed to evaluate if the regimen of Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin, Capecitabine (XELOXIRI) and Bevacizumab is a superior first-line option for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC) in terms of safety and efficacy.

Detailed Description

Recent studies have shown that the triplet-drug regimen FOLFOXIRI (irinotecan/oxaliplatin/fluorouracil) can further improves survival benefit for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC) compared to standard two-drug regimens in first-line therapy, especially when combined with bevacizumab. However, the increased toxicities of FOLFOXIRI limited its usage. Capecitabine demonstrates a superior efficacy and safety than fluorouracil, so we designed this trial to evaluate if the XELOXIRI plus bevacizumab can be a better alternative to FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab. The phase I study is to determine the safety and the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of XELOXIRI plus Bevacizumab. In the phase II study, we aim to determine the efficacy of the regimen as first-line therapy for mCRC and explore potential molecular biomarkers (genomes, circulating tumor cell) for toxicity forecasting or efficacy monitoring.

MTD is determined according to the DLT in the phase I study

objective response rate (ORR)up to 2 years

ORR is defined as the proportion of patients achieving complete response or partial response

dose-limited toxicity (DLT)up to 1 year

dose limited toxicities are evaluated in the phase I study according to CTCAE v5.0 and reviewed through the phase I study completion

recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D)up to 1 year

RP2D is determined according to DLT and MTD in the phase 1 study
