Adjuvant Aflibercept for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (C261)

February 13, 2020 updated by: howard safran, Brown University

BrUOG C261:Single Agent Adjuvant Aflibercept for Patients With Resected or Ablated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Randomized Phase II Study

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate if aflibercept can reduce the chance that metastatic (spread of) colorectal cancer can grow back after finishing standard treatment. The study will also look at the side effects of aflibercept and the effect on quality of life.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

There are over 1.2 million new cases of colorectal cancer and 600,000 deaths worldwide. The liver is the dominant site of metastases. Approximately 20-25% of patients with advanced colorectal cancer will be candidates for resection/ablation of all sites of metastatic disease.1 Unfortunately, despite resection/ablation of all metastatic sites only about 20% of these patients are ultimately cured.1 An effective adjuvant agent would prevent tumor recurrence.

Aflibercept and bevacizumab are effective when combined with FOLFIRI for metastatic colon cancer. Neither has been tested in a randomized study in the adjuvant setting for patients with resected metastatic disease. Since aflibercept more effectively inhibits all forms of VEGF including VEGF-A, VEGF-B and PIGF, in striking contrast to bevacizumab which inhibits only VEGF-A, aflibercept likely will be more effective than bevacizumab as a single agent in the adjuvant metastatic setting. Therefore, we propose a randomized study of adjuvant aflibercept for patients metastatic colorectal cancer who have received 10-12 cycles of perioperative FOLFOX and have had had a complete response to all sites of metastases after chemotherapy and local modalities such as surgical resection or ablation. SBRT may also be used to produce a complete response in a metastatic site not easily amenable to surgery or ablation. Only patients with very high risk of recurrence, defined as 3 or more metastatic sites, will be included in this study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
