Brief summary

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the non-inferiority of overall survival FOLFIRI with or without Bevacizumab compared with Irinotecan (CPT-11) with or without Bevacizumab as Second-line therapy in Patient with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

Detailed description

Primary endpoint: Progression-free survival (PFS); Secondary endpoints: Overall survival (OS), Time to treatment failure (TTF), Overall response rate (ORR), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Safety.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALBevacizumab

5 mg/kg intravenously administered over 90 minutes (can be reduced to 30 minutes at the minimum) on day 1 of a 2-week cycle.

DRUGCPT-11

180 mg/m2 intravenously administered over 90 minutes on day 1 of a 2-week cycle

400 mg/m2 intravenous bolus on day 1 of a 2-week cycle.

2400 mg/m2 continuous infusion over 46 hours on day 1 and 2 of a 2-week cycle.

200 (dl-LV: 400) mg/m2 intravenously administered over 120 minutes on day 1 of a 2-week cycle.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-free survival (PFS)Assessed until 1.5 years after the last patient enrolmentTime from the date of enrollment to the earlier of the date of confirmed progression or death from any cause.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survivalAssessed until 1.5 years after the last patient enrolmentTime from the date of enrollment to death from any cause
Time to treatment failure (TTF)Assessed until 1.5 years after the last patient enrolmentTime from the date of enrollment to the earlier of the date of confirmed progression, death from any cause, or discontinuation of protocol treatment.
Overall Response Rate (ORR)Assessed at 6, 12 week and thereafter every 8 weeks, from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 weeksProportion of eligible patients with measurable lesions with a best overall response of CR or PR assessed by the attending physician.
Disease Control Rate (DCR)Assessed at 6, 12 week and thereafter every 8 weeks, from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 weeksProportion of best overall response of CR, PR, or SD assessed by the attending physician.
Incidence of Adverse Events (Adverse Reactions)From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 weeksThe incidence of worst-grade adverse events (toxicities) on study as graded by NCI-CTCAE v 4.0 will be determined by treatment arm in all treated patients for the following events.
