Overview

Brief Summary

This was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of vismodegib (GDC-0449) added to biochemotherapy standard-of-care regimens for metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), with treatment until disease progression. Patients received either FOLFOX (FOL=leucovorin calcium [folinic acid], F=fluorouracil, OX=oxaliplatin) or FOLFIRI (FOL=leucovorin calcium [folinic acid] F=fluorouracil, IRI=irinotecan hydrochloride) chemotherapy with bevacizumab. The decision of which regimen (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) to use was made by the treating physician and patient. Patients were randomized to receive vismodegib or placebo and were stratified based on the chemotherapy regimen chosen and whether or not Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) measurable disease was present at baseline.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Histologically confirmed metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC)
  • Representative tumor specimens in paraffin blocks (preferred) or at least 15 unstained slides, with an associated pathology report, must be confirmed to be available and requested at any time prior to entry of study

  • Adequate hematopoetic capacity
  • Adequate hepatic function
  • Adequate renal function
  • Use of an effective method of barrier contraception (for women of childbearing potential)
  • Signed informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • Prior chemotherapy for metastatic CRC or adjuvant chemotherapy for CRC within the prior 6 months
  • Clinically suspected or confirmed CNS metastases or carcinomatous meningitis
  • Major surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to the first day of treatment in this study (Day 1)
  • Pelvic radiation within 2 weeks prior to Day 1

  • Thromboembolic disease
  • History of other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates use of an investigational drug or that might affect interpretation of the results of the study or render the patient at high risk from treatment complications

Arms & Interventions

Vismodegib 150 mg

Patients received vismodegib 150 mg orally once daily starting on Day 3 of each 2-week treatment cycle. In addition, patients received either Modified FOLFOX (FOL=leucovorin calcium \[folinic acid\], F=fluorouracil, OX=oxaliplatin) + bevacizumab or FOLFIRI (FOL=leucovorin calcium \[folinic acid\] F=fluorouracil, IRI=irinotecan hydrochloride) + bevacizumab on Days 1-3 of each 2-week treatment cycle. The decision of which regimen (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) to use was made by the treating physician and patient.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Progression-free Survival (PFS)

Time Frame: From first treatment through the data cut-off date of March 15, 2010, up to 90 weeks

Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization to the earlier of documented disease progression (PD) or death from any cause. PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since treatment started, unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, or the appearance of one or more new lesions. For patients without measurable disease, PD was defined as an increase in the size of a lesion to one that is measurable or unequivocal progression of a non-target lesion.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Progression-free Survival (PFS) in Patients With Various Degrees of Hedgehog Antigen Tumor Expression(From first treatment through the data cut-off date of March 15, 2010, up to 90 weeks)
