Continuing Cetuximab Plus Chemotherapy After First Progression in Wild-type KRAS, NRAS and BRAF V600E Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

A Clinical Study of Continuing Cetuximab Plus Chemotherapy After First Progression in Wild-type KRAS, NRAS and BRAF V600E Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuing cetuximab combined with chemotherapy after first-line progression in wild-type KRAS,NRAS and BRAF colorectal cancer.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Wild-type KRAS,NRAS and BRAF V600E Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Cetuximab combind mFOLFOX6/FOLFIRI

Detailed Description

In addition to the sequential therapeutic schedule of offering maintenance therapy and reintroduction of chemotherapy regimens to patients with nonresectable mCRC, multiline treatment strategy of continuing bevacizumab after progression to first-line bevacizumab plus chemotherapy demonstrated optimal clinical benefits in prolonging progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) . Continuing cetuximab after progression to first-line cetuximab is also a promising strategy. The underlying hypothesis is that a sustained inhibition of EGFR signaling with cetuximab would continuously eliminate sensitive clones of RAS wild-type tumor. The present phase 2 clinical trial evaluated standard fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy combined with cetuximab among patients with wild-type KRAS, NRAS and BRAF V600E mCRC who had progressed after cetuximab plus standard chemotherapy in the first-line setting.

(1)Blood routine examination criteria (without blood transfusion within 14 days): Hemoglobin (HB) ≥ 90g / L; The absolute value of neutrophils (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 109 / L; Platelet (PLT) ≥ 80 × 109 / L; (2) Biochemical examinations must meet the following criteria: Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 * ULN; serum creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 * ULN or creatinine clearance (CCr) ≥ 60ml / min; (3) Doppler ultrasound assessment: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ normal low limit (50%).

8.Women of childbearing age should agree to use contraceptives (such as intrauterine devices, contraceptives or condoms) during the study period and within 6 months after the end of the study; negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to study enrollment and must be non-lactating patients; men should agree to patients who must use contraception during the study period and within 6 months after the end of the study period.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Exceeding or currently suffering from other malignant tumors within 5 years, except for cervical cancer in situ, non-melanoma skin cancer and superficial bladder tumors [Ta (non-invasive tumor), Tis (in situ carcinoma) And T1 (tumor infiltrating basement membrane)].
2. Radiation therapy on tumor target was performed within 4 weeks before enrollment.
3. Unmitigated toxic reactions higher than CTC AE(4.0) grade 2 or above due to any prior treatment, excluding alopecia and neurotoxicity ≤ grade 2 due to oxaliplatin.

4. Any severe and/or uncontrolled disease, including:

   1. patients with hypertension who are not well controlled by antihypertensive drug (systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg).
   2. with grade I or higher myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction, arrhythmia (including QTc ≥ 480ms) and ≥ grade 2 congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification).
   3. Severe or uncontrolled disease or active infection (≥CTCAE grade 2 infection), which the investigator believes may increase the risk associated with study participation, study drug administration, or affect the subject's ability to receive study medication.
   4. Renal failure requires hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
   5. a history of immunodeficiency, including HIV-positive or other acquired, congenital immunodeficiency disease, or a history of organ transplantation.
   6. Patients with diabetes who have poor glycemic control (fasting blood glucose (FBG) > 10 mmol/L); subjects with active, known or suspected autoimmune diseases. Subjects with type 1 diabetes, residual hypothyroidism caused by autoimmune thyroiditis requiring hormone replacement therapy, and skin diseases that do not require systemic treatment (such as vitiligo, psoriasis or alopecia) can be enrolled.
   7. patients with seizures and requiring treatment.
5. Patients with gastrointestinal diseases such as intestinal obstruction (including incomplete intestinal obstruction) or those who may have caused gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation or obstruction.
6. Patients who underwent surgical treatment, incisional biopsy or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to enrollment.
7. In the 4 weeks prior to enrollment, patients with any bleeding event ≥ CTCAE 3 have unhealed wounds, ulcers or fractures.
8. Overactive/venous thrombosis events within 3 months, such as cerebrovascular accidents (including transient ischemic attacks), deep static Pulmonary thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

10. Patients with brain metastases.
11. Patients who have participated in other clinical trials of anti-tumor drugs within four weeks.
12. According to the investigator's judgment, there is a concomitant disease that seriously harms the patient's safety or affects the patient's completion of the study.
13. Cannot perform biopsy to provide histological specimens.
