About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Colorectal Cancer

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Before the start of induction therapy:

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histological proof of colorectal cancer (in case of a single metastasis, histological or cytological proof of this lesion should be obtained);
  • Distant metastases which are either technically unresectable or no chance to reach NED (patients with only local recurrence are not eligible);
  • Measurable disease (> 1 cm on spiral CT scan or > 2 cm on chest X-ray; liver ultrasound is not allowed). Serum CEA may not be used as a parameter for disease evaluation;
  • Ongoing or planned first line induction therapy with 8 cycles of FOLFIRI or mFOLFOX6.

Exclusion criteria

  • Prior adjuvant treatment for stage II/III colorectal cancer ending within 6 months before the start of induction treatment
  • Any prior adjuvant treatment after resection of distant metastases
  • Previous systemic treatment for advanced disease
  • RAS mutant mCRC

At randomisation:

Inclusion criteria:

  • WHO performance status 0-1 (Karnofsky PS > 70%);
  • Disease evaluation with proven SD, PR or CR according to RECIST after 8 cycles of FOLFIRI or mFOLFOX6;
  • Laboratory values obtained ≤ 2 weeks prior to randomisation: adequate bone marrow function (Hb > 8.0 mmol/L, absolute neutrophil count > 1.5 x 109/L, platelets > 100 x 109/L), renal function (serum creatinine ≤ 1.5x ULN and creatinine clearance, Cockroft formula, > 30 ml/min), liver function (serum bilirubin ≤ 2 x ULN, serum transaminases ≤ 3 x ULN without presence of liver metastases or ≤ 5x ULN with presence of liver metastases);
  • Life expectancy > 24 weeks;
  • Age: 18-75 years;
  • Negative pregnancy test in women with childbearing potential;
  • Expected adequacy of follow-up;
  • Institutional Review Board approval;
  • Written informed consent Exclusion criteria
  • Chronic active infection;
  • Any other concurrent severe or uncontrolled disease preventing the safe administration of study drugs;

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    This study is try to evaluate the effect of cetuximab monotherapy as maintenance treatment, versus continuation after 8 courses of induction therapy with cetuximab plus standard chemotherapy regimen (FOLFIRI or mFOLFOX6)in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. The maintenance treatments are continued until disease progression or untolerated toxicity. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that cetuximab monotherapy is non-inferior to continuation treatment, in those mCRC patients who responded to induction therapy(SD, PR, or CR), and carry biomarker-panels (KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA) favor EGFR antibody.

Furthermore, the mutation status of biomarker panel consist of KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, BRAF, EGFR, ERBB2, ERBB3, PIK3CA, PTEN, SMAD4, SMAD2, TGFBR2, cMET, Src, mTOR, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, EPHA2, MSI, TP53, ERCC1, ERCC5, KCNQ5, ILK, and Myc will be analyzed by NGS sequencing. The ctDNA as surrogate marker via liquid biopsy will be conducted before randomization, during maintenance treatment, and disease progression.
