Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to exploratorily examine efficacy and safety in the participants with chemotherapy-naïve unresectable, advanced/recurrent colorectal carcinoma of Kirsten rat sarcoma-2 virus (KRAS) wild-type who have been treated with 6 cycles (2 weeks/cycle) of first-line mFOLFOX6 + panitumumab combination therapy and then assigned to two groups i.e., a group receiving 5-FU/LV + panitumumab combination therapy and a group receiving mFOLFOX6 + panitumumab combination therapy.

Detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called panitumumab. Panitumumab is being tested to treat people who have advanced/recurrent colorectal carcinoma of KRAS wild-type. This study will look at the efficacy and safety of 5-FU/LV + panitumumab(Pmab) combination therapy or mFOLFOX6 + Pmab combination therapy in the participants. The study will enroll 164 patients. All participants will receive 6 cycles of Protocol Treatment \[1\]: Pmab 6 mg/kg, DIV, at Day 1, OXA 85 mg/m\^2, DIV, at Day 1, l LV 200 mg/m\^2, DIV, at Day 1, 5-FU 400 mg/m\^2, IV, at Day 1, 5-FU 2400 mg/m\^2, CIV, at Day 2 once every two weeks from cycle 1 through cycle 6. Then they will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the treatment groups. * Group A * Group B This multi-center trial will be conducted in Japan. The overall time to participate in this study is approximately 20 months.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-Free Survival Rate (PFS Rate) at 9 Months After RandomizationUp to 9 months after randomizationPFS rate was defined as the gross percentage of participants who survived with no evidence of progression from the day of randomization (Day 0) until 9 months after Day 0. The presence/absence of progressive disease (PD) was determined based on imaging, consideration of clinical PD, or survival research results. PD based on response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) is at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.
