Cetuximab + Best Supportive Care Compared With Best Supportive Care Alone in Metastatic Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Positive Colorectal Cancer

ABSTRACT: RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can target tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Best supportive care is the use of drugs and other treatments to improve the quality of life of patients. Combining cetuximab with best supportive care may slow the growth of the tumor and help patients live longer and more comfortably. It is not yet known whether cetuximab combined with best supportive care is more effective than best supportive care alone in treating metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor-positive colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying cetuximab and best supportive care to see how well they work compared to best supportive care alone in treating patients with metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor-positive colorectal cancer.

Cetuximab and Best Supportive Care Compared with Best Supportive Care Alone in Treating Patients with Metastatic Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Positive Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:Interventions: This is a randomised, open-label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to participating center and ECOG performance status (0 or 1 vs 2). Patients are randomised to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Arm I: Patients receive an initial loading dose of cetuximab (Erbitux) IV over 120 minutes on day 1. Patients continue to receive maintenance infusions of cetuximab IV over 60 minutes weekly. Patients also receive best supportive care, defined as measures designed to provide palliation of symptoms and improve quality of life as much as possible. Arm II: Patients receive best supportive care as in arm I. In both arms, treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, and then at 4, 8, 16, and 24 weeks (or until deterioration to ECOG PS 4 or hospitalisation for end of life care). Patients are followed up every 4 weeks. Primary outcome(s): Compare survival of patients with metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor-positive colorectal cancer treated with cetuximab and best supportive care vs best supportive care alone.[Measured from enrolment] Study Design: Purpose: Treatment; Allocation: Randomised controlled trial; Masking: Open (masking not used);Assignment: Parallel;Type of endpoint: Efficacy

Durvalumab and Tremelimumab and Best Supportive Care vs Best Supportive Care in Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Project description:The standard or usual treatment for this disease is treatment with drugs and other treatments that may help to make a patient better or may improve their quality of life. This treatment is known as "best supportive care" (BSC). Although patients with best supportive care can feel better for some months, the cancer usually continues to grow.

A Phase III Randomized Study of BBI608 and Best Supportive Care versus Placebo and Best Supportive Care in Patients with Pretreated Advanced Colorectal Carcinoma

Project description:Interventions: Group 1: Best supportive care plus BBI608. Best supportive care defined as those measures designed to provide palliation of symptoms and improve quality of life as much as possible. BBI608 will be self-administered by participants at 480mg (6 x 80mg tablets) orally twice daily (960mg total daily dose) in 28 day cycles. Patients may continue to receive protocol therapy as long as they have not experienced any adverse events requiring permanent discontinuation of study medication and are, in the opinion of the investigator, continuing to derive benefit from protocol therapy. Patients will be asked to keep a diary of when they take the capsules and if they miss any doses to monitor adherance. Patients will also be asked to return any tablets which were not taken. Primary outcome(s): Overall survival (death from any cause)[Patient status updates will be sought every 2-4 weeks at clinic visit whilst on treatment and then every 8 weeks until death.] Study Design: Purpose: Treatment; Allocation: Randomised controlled trial

A Study to Estimate Overall Survival in Patients Receiving Best Supportive Care for Treatment-Resistant, Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma

Project description:The primary objective of this study is to estimate overall survival in patients only receiving best supportive care (BSC) for treatment-resistant, metastatic colorectal carcinoma. The primary efficacy outcome is overall survival, defined as the time from the date of the radiographic scan demonstrating disease progression post available treatments (time of origin, T0) to death from any cause.

Global gene expression analysis between cetuximab-sensitive and cetuximab-resistant colorectal cancer cells

Project description:Cetuximab is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-blocking antibody approved for treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. We examined differences in global gene expression between the syngeneic DiFi colorectal cancer cells, and a subline of DiFi cells with acquired resistance to cetuximab (DiFi5). We used Affymetrix HG-U133A array to compare the expression pattern of genes that are up-regulated or down-regulated between the parental DiFi colorectal cancer cells and the cetuximab-resistant DiFi5 cells.

Trial of Best Supportive Care and Either Cisplatin or Paclitaxel to Treat Patients With Primary Ovarian Cancer, Primary Peritoneal Cancer or Fallopian Tube Cancer and Inoperable Malignant Bowel Obstruction

Project description:The best way to treat MBO in patients with ovarian cancer has not been studied enough by trials that assess how more than one treatment arm (surgical, chemotherapeutic, supportive care approaches) affects clinical outcomes like resolution of bowel obstruction, survival, and quality of life. To improve patient outcomes, we must assess which patients will do better with palliative surgery, chemotherapy, or best supportive care. This study will gather safety information, and how reasonable it is to give chemotherapy and BSC to patients with advanced ovarian cancer and MBO who are non-surgical candidates. This study will also look into the effects of chemotherapy and BSC on the quality of life and resolution of bowel obstruction, in hopes to perform future studies that lead to the best management of MBO.

Decision-making factors for best supportive care alone and prognostic factors after best supportive care in non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Project description:Among patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), best supportive care (BSC) is well-known to improve patient's quality of life and prolong survival. This study aimed to clarify (1) the decision-making factors of BSC alone and (2) the prognostic factors after selection of no further anticancer therapies. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of patients with NSCLC between November 2004 and February 2014, who received BSC as only therapy and BSC after completion of anticancer therapies. One hundred eighteen patients received BSC alone. Among 860 patients treated with anticancer therapies, 236 were selected as control group, 160 of whom received BSC after anticancer therapy. The significant reasons for receiving BSC alone were: comorbidities of dementia, poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG-PS), patients' wishes, pulmonary comorbidities, wild type epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), relevant social background and psychiatric comorbidities. Poor prognostic factors at the start of BSC were poor ECOG-PS, presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and history of anticancer therapy. NSCLC patients with comorbidities, wild type EGFR, and relevant social background factors tended to receive BSC alone. Post-cancer therapy NSCLC patients and those with DIC and declining ECOG-PS have a shorter survival period from the start of BSC.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor inhibitor, AMG-479, in cetuximab-refractory head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat with limited chemotherapeutic options. Here, we describe a patient with HNSCC who had complete response to methotrexate (MTX) after progressing on multiple cytotoxic agents; cetuximab, a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), and AMG 479, a mAb against Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Receptor (IGF-1R). In tumor tissue of this patient we observed gene expression modulation by cetuximab and AMG 479 suggesting crosstalk between the EGFR and IGF-1R pathways that may have sensitized the tumor to MTX. This represents a promising novel approach to development of targeted agents in refractory cancer. Keywords: tumor response 10 samples from different time points during course of treatment in a single individual.
