Condition(s) targeted: Colorectal Cancer

Intervention: Irinotecan (Drug); Avastin (Drug); Erbitux (Drug)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: Terminated

Sponsored by: Hellenic Oncology Research Group

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
John Souglakos, MD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: University Hospital of Crete

Summary

This phase II study will evaluate the efficacy of the combination of two monoclonal antibodies (Avastin + Erbitux) with irinotecan, in patients with colorectal cancer progressed after 1st line treatment with FOLFIRI Avastin or XELIRI Avastin.

Clinical Details

Official title: Phase II Study of Avastin Plus Erbitux Plus Irinotecan as 2nd Line Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer in Patients Achieving Disease Progression as Best Response After 1st Line Treatment With FOLFIRI+Avastin or XELIRI+Avastin

Study design: Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Time To Progression

Secondary outcome:

Objective Response Rate

Toxicity profile

Quality of life, Symptoms improvement

Detailed description: Treating patients with primary resistance to the most active multi-agent combination remains a challenging clinical problem. The reported data demonstrated that addition of ERBITUX may reverse IRINOTECAN resistance. Further data support the feasibility of the combination of two monoclonal antibodies (AVASTIN+ERBITUX) with IRINOTECAN with better responses compared to historical controls (ERBITUX±IRINOTECAN). As such, a phase II study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of AVASTIN plus ERBITUX plus IRINOTECAN as second line treatment in patients progressing while on treatment with FOLFIRI AVASTIN or XELIRI AVASTIN
