Arm Label
Perfusion-computed tomography (CTP)
Arm Description
Patients undergo a total of four perfusion-computed tomographies from baseline to progression of disease.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
CTP as predictive marker for efficacy measured by progression-free survival
Predictive power of decrease in tumor vasculature on the clinical outcome in bevacizumab-based chemotherapy measured by progression-free survival (PFS). Decrease in tumor vasculature is measured by blood flow in CTP 3 compared to CTP 1 (baseline)
Secondary Outcome Measures
CTP as predictive marker for efficacy measured by progression-free survival
Predictive power of decrease in tumor vasculature on the clinical outcome in bevacizumab-based chemotherapy measured by progression-free survival (PFS). Decrease in tumor vasculature is measured by blood flow, blood volume, mean transit time and permeability surface-area product in CTP
CTP as predictive marker for efficacy measured by overall survival
Predictive power of decrease in tumor vasculature measured by CTP on the clinical outcome in bevacizumab-based chemotherapy measured by overall survival (OS)
Tumor vasculature at progression
Tumor vasculature measured by blood flow, blood volume, mean transit time and permeability surface-area product in CTP at the time of confirmed progression
Subgroup analyses according to the RAS mutation status, BRAF mutation status and VEGF-A level
Predictive power of RAS-mutation status, BRAF-mutation status and VEGF-A level on the clinical outcome in bevacizumab-based chemotherapy measured by progression-free survival (PFS)
Local and distant recurrences
Rates of local and distant recurrences according to RECIST 1.1 criteria

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the anti-angiogenic effect of bevacizumab measured by CTP as a predictive marker for efficacy measured by progression-free survival (PFS) in mCRC patients under first-line bevacizumab-containing, fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy
Detailed Description
So far, CTP has provided non-invasive imaging of tumor biological response to anti-angiogenic and vascular targeting agents in a number of clinical trials with increasing clinical application. CTP can be examined with a variety of commercially available CE-certified CT scanners and imaging post-processing is possible with commercially available CE-certified software from different vendors, too. In several studies, anti-angiogenic effects have been detected with CTP but further evidence for its clinical validation has to be proven in clinical trials.
Changes in tumor vasculature measured by CTP will be correlated to the clinical efficacy parameters progression-free survival, overall survival and response rate, thus identifying a group of patients who profit most from the anti-angiogenic treatment.
