Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel) in subjects with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer. Subjects will be placed into two separate cohorts based on their RAS mutation status.

Detailed description

ABI-007-COLO-001 is a Phase 2, single arm, open label, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel) given on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28 day cycle in subjects with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer. Subjects will be enrolled into cohorts by RAS mutation status (wildtype or mutated). Stage 1 in a given cohort will enroll 15 subjects in the Intention to Treat population and if more than 8 subjects have Progression Free Survival at the 8 week assessment, then Stage 2 will open in the respective cohort. Stage 2 will enroll an additional 28 subjects for a total of 43 subjects in each cohort. The study will be positive if more than 26 subjects with Progression Free Survival at the 8 week assessment are observed in 43 subjects per cohort. Interim analysis after Stage 1 did not meet protocol defined criteria to proceed to Stage 2. Patients currently enrolled will be followed for Progression Free Survival and until 28 days after last dose, secondary endpoints including overall survival will not be followed

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Participants must have been previously treated and must have had radiologically documented measurable disease, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, and disease progression ≤ 2 months after the last delivery of the last standard therapy. They were enrolled by family of oncogenic proteins (RAS) mutation status .

Pre-assignment details

An efficacy analysis was conducted based on the data available for those accrued in each of the cohorts enrolled (Stage 1) between May-September 2014. The data from the primary efficacy endpoint met the stopping criteria defined by the Simon 2-stage design, which did not support further assessment of nab-paclitaxel; the study was stopped early.

Outcome results

Primary

Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate as Measured at Week 8

PFS rate was measured by Investigator Assessment according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 from the start of study treatment to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.

Time frame: At week 8 assessment period; up to 56 days

Population: Per the Simon 2-stage design, only 30 participants from Stage 1 (the first 15 participants in the Intent to Treat (ITT) population from each cohort) were included. The ITT population was defined as those who received treatment and met all eligibility criteria; four ineligible participants were excluded based on the protocol deviations/violations

Duration of Response (DOR)

Duration of response was defined as the time from the first tumor assessment when the confirmed CR/PR response criterion was met to the date of disease progression based on investigational assessment following RECIST 1.1.

Time frame: Up to 241 days

Population: The data from the primary efficacy endpoint met the stopping criteria defined by the Simon 2-stage design, which did not support further assessment of nab-paclitaxel as a monotherapy in the analysis of this group of participants. Duration of response was not analyzed as there were no responders observed in the study.
