Brief summary

Recruitment to phase I of the PANTHER trial is complete. Phase II, is to evaluate the best overall response rate for AZD8931 + FOLFIRI treatment.

Detailed description

PANTHER is a registered phase I/phase II trial in patients with recurrent or metastatic colorectal cancer. The phase II part of the study will be a single arm trial. Patients will receive AZD8931 (an EGFR/ERBB inhibitor) in combination with FOLinic acid, Fluorouracil and IRInotecan (FOLFIRI), Treatment will be given in two-weekly cycles. Phase II's primary objective is to evaluate the Best overall response

Interventions

160 mg AZD8931 tablets, twice daily on days 1 - 4 of each 2-weekly cycle

DRUGIrinotecan

180 mg/m2 (IV infusion) of Irinotecan on day 1 of each 2-weekly cycle - can be given simultaneously with Folinic acid.

DRUGFolinic Acid

350 mg (IV infusion) of Folinic acid on day 1 of each 2-weekly cycle - can be given simultaneously with Irinotecan.

DRUGFluorouracil

400 mg/m2 (IV bolus) of Fluorouracil on day 1 of each 2-weekly cycle, to be given after completion of Irinotecan and Folinic acid.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Best overall responseFrom registration to date of documented best response, assessed up to 36 monthsBest overall response will be assessed according to RECIST v1.1.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To evaluate the efficacy of AZD8931 plus FOLFIRIBaseline to 12 weeks post treatment startPercentage change in tumour size will be considered the best response only if a second assessment has been carried out which confirms SD at least four weeks after trial entry. Assessment will be determined using CT scans performed at baseline, 12 weeks after start of chemotherapy, then every 3 months until disease progression up to 3 years from registration/ randomisation
Progression Free SurvivalFrom date of randomisation to date of documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 3 years from date of registration/ randomisationProgression-free survival time will be calculated from the date of trial entry to the date of documented progression, or death from any cause. In cases where progression is suspected and subsequently confirmed by scans, the date of documented suspected progression will be used.
Overall SurvivalFrom date of registration/ randomisation until date of death or date of last follow-up assessment (up to 3 years from date of registration/ randomisation)Overall survival time will be calculated from the date of trial entry to the date of death from any cause or end of trial follow-up.
Occurrence and Severity of Adverse EventsFrom date of registration/ randomisation until 30 days after completion of trial treatment (AZD8931 and FOLFIRI)Will include all grade 1-5 adverse events
