FOLFIRI and Bevacizumab With or Without Pelareorep for Second-Line Treatment of Metastatic RAS-Mutated, Microsatellite-Stable Colorectal Cancer

This is an open-label, randomized, multicenter Phase 2 study to assess the efficacy and safety of FOLFIRI + bevacizumab + pelareorep vs. FOLFIRI + bevacizumab in patients with RAS-mutated, MSS mCRC who have progressed after one prior line of oxaliplatin-based therapy.

About this study

Approximately 60 patients will be randomized 1:1 to the following study arms:

  • Arm A: FOLFIRI + bevacizumab + pelareorep
  • Arm B: FOLFIRI + bevacizumab The primary endpoint is ORR as assessed by the investigator per RECIST 1.1. OS, PFS, and assessment of the safety and tolerability of the study treatment combinations are secondary endpoints. The primary endpoint analysis will be performed after all patients have had at least one tumor assessment following initiation of study treatment or have progressed. The secondary endpoint analyses will take place at EOS.

Treatment and study plan

Bevacizumab

Drug

Bevacizumab (5 mg/kg) IV infusion

Other names: Avastin

FOLFIRI

Drug

irinotecan (180mg/m2), leucovorin 400 mg/m2 ± 5-FU (400 mg/m2) IV infusion

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: At week 8

    Proportion of patients with complete response [CR], partial response [PR] assessed by the investigators and/or central reader according to RECIST v1.1

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival (OS) -

    Time frame: From the date of randomization through long term follow up at two years

    OS defined as the time from date of randomization to death from any cause

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: From randomization to objective progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, up to two years

    Time from randomization to the date of investigator-determined objective progression (according to RECIST 1.1) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

  3. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: From randomization to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, up to two years

    Overall DCR, defined as the number of patients with a best overall response of CR, PR, or SD according to RECIST v. 1.1

  4. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: From randomization to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, up to two years

    Time from documentation of the first CR or PR to the time of first documented evidence of progressive disease (or relapse for subjects who experience CR during the study) or death.
