Comparing Efficacy and Safety of Stivant (AryoGen Bevacizumab) Versus Avastin in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

December 30, 2020 updated by: AryoGen Pharmed Co.

A Phase III, Randomized, Two-armed, Triple Blinded, Parallel, Active Controlled Non-Inferiority Clinical Trial of Stivant (AryoGen Trastuzumab) Efficacy and Safety in Comparison to Avastin in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This is a Phase III, randomized, two arms, double-blind (patient and assessor blinded), parallel active non inferiority controlled clinical trial with a 2:1 allocation. This trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab (produced by AryoGen Pharmed) plus FOLFIRI-3 compared with bevacizumab (Avastin®) plus FOLFIRI-3 in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Patients who met the following criteria could be recruited to receive the mentioned intervention randomly. Inclusion criteria: male or female aged 18-75 years, mCRC verified histologically, Having one or more bi-dimensionally measurable lesions as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria, Was not felt to be amenable to curative resection, With an (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 1, Life expectancy of longer than 3 months, Adequate organ and marrow function, May have received adjuvant therapy for primary colorectal cancer provided that at least 6 months have elapsed from the time the adjuvant therapy was concluded and recurrent disease was documented, Patients with history of hypertension must be well-controlled (blood pressure less than/equal to 150/100), on a stable regimen of anti-hypertensive therapy.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: PFS was measured from the start of chemotherapy to the date of disease progression or to the date of death if no progression whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months
PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first date of documentation progression (per investigator assessment) or death as a result of any cause.
PFS was measured from the start of chemotherapy to the date of disease progression or to the date of death if no progression whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Overall survival OS was defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause
Up to 12 months
Objective Response Rate
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Tumor response was defined as partial and complete responses, according to the RECIST criteria ( version 1.1). The definitions were as follows: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), decrease of at least 30% in the lesion that has the largest diameter; Objective Response Rate (ORR) = CR + PR.
Up to 12 months
Time to Treatment Failure
Time Frame: Up to 12 months

Time to treatment failure was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of each of the following,

  • The treatment modalities did not destroy or modify the cancer cells,
  • The tumor either became larger (disease progression) or stayed the same size after treatment,
  • Death due to any cause,
  • Discontinuation of treatment
Up to 12 months
Incidence of the Adverse Events
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Safety was assessed on the basis of reports of adverse events, laboratory-test results, and vital sign measurements. Adverse events were categorized According to the Common Toxicity Criteria of the National Cancer Institute, version 5.0, in which a grade of 1 indicates mild adverse events, a grade of 2 moderate adverse events, a grade of 3 serious adverse events, and a grade of 4 life-threatening adverse events
Up to 12 months
Number of Positive Anti-drug Antibody (ADA) Samples Among Patients (Immunogenicity)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Anti-drug antibody assessment
Up to 12 months
