Exclusion criteria

  • History of or known presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases

  • Prior anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) antibody therapy or treatment with small molecule EGFr inhibitors
  • Any investigational agent or therapy within 30 days before randomization
  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to irinotecan, 5-FU or leucovorin
  • History of interstitial lung disease or evidence of interstitial lung disease on baseline chest computed tomography (CT) scan
  • Active inflammatory bowel disease or other bowel disease causing chronic diarrhea
  • Known positive tests for human immunodefiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C viris (HCV), acute or chronic active hepatitis B virus (HBV)
  • Major surgery within 28 days of randomization or minor surgical procedure within 14 days of randomization
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding

  • Other protocol-specified criteria may apply

Treatment and study plan

Panitumumab

Drug

Panitumumab was administered by IV infusion on Day 1 of each 14-day cycle, just before administration of FOLFIRI chemotherapy.

Other names: Vectibix®

FOLFIRI

Drug

FOLFIRI chemotherapy was initiated on Day 1 of each treatment cycle at the following starting doses: irinotecan 180 mg/m^2, leucovorin 400 mg/m^2 racemate (or 200 mg/m^2 I-leucovorin), 5-FU bolus 400 mg/m^2, 5-FU infusion 2400 mg/m^2.

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 8 April 2008. Maximum follow-up time was 17 months.

    Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to first disease progression per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria or death, based on independent central radiological assessment. Participants who were alive but did not meet criteria for progression by the data cutoff date were censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.

    Progressive disease is defined as a ≥ 20% increase in the size of target lesions or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions or any new lesions.

  2. Overall Survival

    Time frame: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 30 April 2009. Maximum follow-up time was 33 months

    Overall survival was defined as the time from randomization to the date of death. Participants who had not died by the analysis data cutoff date had their time of death censored at their last contact date.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response

    Time frame: Every 8 weeks until disease progression up to the data cut-off date of 30 April 2009. Maximum time on follow-up was 33 months.

    Participants were evaluated for tumor response per the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria every 8 weeks until disease progression. Objective response was defined as the incidence of either a confirmed complete or partial response (CR or PR) while on study, as determined by blinded independent central review and confirmed no less than 4-weeks after the criteria for response are first met. CR: Disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions and no progression of non-target or no new lesions, or, disappearance of all target lesions and the persistence of ≥ 1 non-target lesion not qualifying for either CR or progressive disease. Participants without a post-baseline assessment were considered non-responders.

  2. Time to Disease Progression

    Time frame: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 30 April 2009. Maximum follow-up time was 33 months

    Time to progression was defined as the time from the randomization date to the date of first observed disease progression per the modified RECIST criteria. Participants not meeting these criteria by the analysis data cutoff date were censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.

    Progressive disease is defined as a ≥ 20% increase in the size of target lesions or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions or any new lesions.

  3. Duration of Response

    Time frame: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 30 April 2009. Maximum follow-up time was 33 months

    Calculated only for those participants with an objective response as the time from the first objective response (subsequently confirmed within no less than 4 weeks) to first observed disease progression per modified-RECIST criteria. Participants not meeting these criteria by the analysis data cutoff date were censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.

    Progressive disease is defined as a ≥ 20% increase in the size of target lesions or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions or any new lesions.

  4. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 30 April 2009. Maximum follow-up time was 33 months.

    A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined by regulatory authorities as one that • is fatal • is life threatening (places the subject at immediate risk of death) • requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity • is a congenital anomaly/birth defect • other significant medical hazard. The relationship of the adverse event to the study treatment was assessed by the Investigator by means of the question: "Is there a reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the study treatment?"
