Brief summary
This trial will evaluate the combination of modified infusional 5-fluorouracil/ leucovorin, oxaliplatin (FOLFOX6), bevacizumab, and cetuximab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. FOLFOX6 has proven to be a safe and effective regimen in first line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. The role of epidermal growth factor (EGFR) inhibitors in an earlier treatment setting in combination with optimal chemotherapy regimens is an important emerging question.
Detailed description
All patients received cetuximab: 400 mg/m2 (first cycle only) administered intravenously (IV) on day 1 and 250 mg/m2 IV on day 8 with all subsequent cycles 250 mg/m2 IV on days 1 and 8. Day 1 cetuximab was immediately followed by bevacizumab 5 mg/kg IV, oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 IV, and 5-fluorouracil 400 mg/m2 IV bolus, followed by 2400 mg/m2 administered as a continuous infusion over 46 hours via a pump (outpatient) and leucovorin 350 mg IV (modified FOLFOX6). Cycles were 14 days.

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI or CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
Time frame: 18 months
Population: This study was originally designed as a randomized study with patients receiving FOLFOX and bevacizumab with or without cetuximab. Following an amendment, all patients received cetuximab, FOLFOX and bevacizumab. The 5 patients randomized prior to the amendment that did not receive cetuximab are excluded from the analysis.
