Crisaborole Ointment for Skin Toxicity Induced by Cetuximab (COSTIC)

November 3, 2023 updated by: WeiWei Xiao, Sun Yat-sen University

Efficacy and Safety of Crisaborole Ointment, a Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) Inhibitor, for the Topical Treatment of Cetuximab-Related Skin Toxicity Among Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients:A Prospective, Single-arm, Phase II Clinical Trial

This is a prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical trial that will enroll metastatic colorectal cancer patients with Cetuximab-Related Skin Toxicity, who will receive crisaborole ointment twice daily.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The efficacy of cetuximab has been demonstrated in treating metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Skin toxicities, especially acneiform eruption, are the major side effects associated with cetuximab, which affect patients' quality of life and can lead to treatment discontinuation and cetuximab dose reduction.

This prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical trial aims to explore the efficacy and safety of crisaborole ointment in Cetuximab-Related Skin Toxicity. A total of 33 mCRC patients with acneiform eruption will be enrolled. All of the participants will receive crisaborole ointment twice daily. The total follow-up time is 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Remission rate of EGFR inhibitor-related acneiform eruption
Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of remission,assessed up to 8 weeks.
Grading of acneiform eruption would be assessed according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events (CTCAE) 5.0. Remission was defined as a reduction in acneiform eruption from grade 2 to grade 1 or grade 3 to grade 2 sustained for at least 2 weeks.
From date of randomization until the date of remission,assessed up to 8 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures

From date of randomization until the date of remission,assessed up to 8 weeks.
Cetuximab treatment discontinuation rate
Time Frame: 8 weeks from randomization.
