Trial Identification

Brief Title: Cetuximab and Bevacizumab as First-Line Therapy Followed By Combination Chemotherapy and Bevacizumab With or Without Cetuximab as Second-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IV Colorectal Cancer

Official Title: Randomized Phase II Trial of Cetuximab/Bevacizumab (CB) as Palliative First-Line Therapy in Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer Followed by FOLFOX+CB vs. FOLFOX+B

Study ID: NCT00571740

Study Description

Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab and bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving monoclonal antibodies together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving cetuximab together bevacizumab works as first-line therapy, followed by combination chemotherapy and bevacizumab with or without cetuximab as second-line therapy in treating patients with stage IV colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: Primary * To assess the efficacy of bevacizumab and cetuximab as first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer, as measured by percentage of patients who remain progression-free at 6 months. Secondary * To evaluate adverse events, confirmed response, duration of response, time to disease progression, time to treatment failure, and survival of patients treated with bevacizumab and cetuximab. * To evaluate adverse events, confirmed response, duration of response, time to disease progression, time to treatment failure, and survival of patients who are refractory to dual-agent bevacizumab and cetuximab and are subsequently treated with modified FOLFOX7 chemotherapy and bevacizumab with or without cetuximab. * To evaluate quality of life parameters in patients treated with these regimens. * To estimate the direct medical resource utilization and costs. * To assess the reliability of FDG-PET as a measurement of early treatment response, as measured by percentage of patients who are progression-free at 6 months. * To identify circulating angiogenesis biomarkers. * To assay the activity of pro-angiogenic factors in plasma angiogenic assays. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study\*. Patients are stratified according to ECOG performance status (0-1 vs 2) and number of metastatic sites (1 vs \> 1). NOTE: \*Participating site must be PET-qualified. * First-line therapy: Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes and cetuximab IV over 2 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with progressive disease proceed to second-line therapy. * Second-line therapy: Patients are randomized\* to 1 of 2 treatment arms. * Arm I (modified FOLFOX7 with bevacizumab only): Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes, oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours, and leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours on day 1 and fluorouracil IV over 46 hours beginning on day 1. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. * Arm II (modified FOLFOX7 with bevacizumab and cetuximab): Patients receive bevacizumab and modified FOLFOX7 as in arm I. Patients also receive cetuximab IV over 2 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. NOTE: \*Randomization occurs prior to receiving first-line therapy. Patients undergo blood sample collection periodically for translational studies. Samples are analyzed for circulating endothelial cells and endothelial progenitor cells via flow cytometry; angiogenic activity of serum/plasma in angiogenesis-dependent diseases via endothelial proliferation assay and matrigel tube formation assay; and circulating angiogenesis biomarkers (i.e., free VEGF, soluble FLT-1, and KDR) via ELISA. Quality of life is assessed periodically using the UNISCALE, Skindex-16, and Skin Assessment Questionnaires. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 6 months for up to 3 years.
