Panitumumab, Regorafenib, or TAS-102, in Treating Patients With Metastatic and/or Unresectable RAS Wild-Type Colorectal Cancer

NCT03992456

Description:

This phase II trial studies how well retreatment with panitumumab works compared to standard of care regorafenib or trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride (TAS-102) in treating patients with colorectal cancer that is negative for RAS wild-type colorectal cancer has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), and/or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), and is negative for resistance mutations in blood. Treatment with panitumumab may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Some tumors need growth factors to keep growing. Growth factor antagonists, such as regorafenib, may interfere with the growth factor and stop the tumor from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as TAS-102, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving panitumumab may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer than with the usual treatment of regorafenib or TAS-102.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To compare the overall survival (OS) in molecularly selected patients with metastatic
      colorectal cancer (CRC) receiving panitumumab rechallenge versus standard therapy (TAS-102 or
      regorafenib).

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To compare the progression free survival (PFS) in molecularly selected patients with
      metastatic CRC receiving panitumumab rechallenge versus standard therapy (TAS-102 or
      regorafenib).

      II. To define the objective response rate (ORR) in patients receiving panitumumab rechallenge
      versus standard therapy (TAS-102 or regorafenib).

      III. To define the clinical benefit rate (CBR = complete response + partial response + stable
      disease >= 6 months) in patients receiving panitumumab rechallenge versus standard therapy
      (TAS-102 or regorafenib).

      IV. To compare the safety and tolerability of panitumumab rechallenge versus standard therapy
      (TAS-102 or regorafenib).

      V. To compare quality of life (QOL) between panitumumab rechallenge versus standard therapy
      (TAS-102 or regorafenib) as measured by the linear analogue self-assessment (LASA)
      questionnaires.

      CORRELATIVE RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:

      I. To assess plasma pharmacodynamics biomarkers of response and resistance to therapy.

      II. To explore any correlation between tissue and blood based biomarkers and clinical
      outcomes.

      OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

      ARM A: Patients receive panitumumab intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15.
      Treatment repeats every 28 days for a maximum of 24 cycles in the absence of disease
      progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM B: Patients receive trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride orally (PO) twice daily
      (BID) on days 1-5 and 8-12, or regorafenib PO once daily (QD) on days 1-21, at the discretion
      of the treating physician. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a maximum of 24 cycles in the
      absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 3
      months for up to 3 years after randomization.

Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:All
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame:3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:OS is defined as the Time from randomization to death from any cause. The distribution of overall survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Overall survival will be compared between the 2 treatment arms using the unstratified log-rank test.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Progression free survival (PFS)
Time Frame:3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:PFS is defined as the time from randomization to documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever is first. The distribution of progression free survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Progression free survival will be compared between the 2 treatment arms using the log-rank test.
Measure:Overall response rate (ORR)
Time Frame:At 12 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Defined as the number of patients with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1) divided by the number of evaluable patients in each arm at 12 months post ranomization. ORR will be compared between the 2 treatment arms. Confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Clopper and Pearson.
Measure:Clinical benefit rate
Time Frame:At 6 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Defined as the number of patients with a complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease for >= 6 months (as defined by the RECIST 1.1) divided by the number of evaluable patients in each arm. Confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Clopper and Pearson.
Measure:Incidence of adverse events
Time Frame:Up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient in each cycle. The overall adverse event rates for grade 3 or higher adverse events will be compared using Chi-Square or Fisher's Exact tests.
Measure:Patient-reported quality of life
Time Frame:Up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Patients reported quality of life (QOL) outcomes will be collected using the Linear Analog Self-Assessment (LASA) Questionnaire. Data will be collected each cycle. Mean values of the first question (regarding overall QOL) at each cycle will be plotted, and stratified by arm. Additional analyses using data collected from the LASA questionnaire may be performed.
