Trial Information

Randomized PhIII Trial of Cetuximab, Bevacizumab & Biweekly Infusional 5FU/Leucovorin (FOLF-CB) vs. Oxaliplatin, Bevacizumab, & Biweekly Infusional 5FU/Leucovorin (Bev-FOLFOX) in First Line Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer


This is a Phase III, open label, nonblinded study. A total of 240 eligible patients will be
randomized on a 1:1 basis to either treatment Arm.

In this trial, we will compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of this novel
combination of biweekly infusional 5-FU/leucovorin plus cetuximab and bevacizumab (FOLF-CB)
to the current standard of care, biweekly infusional 5-FU/leucovorin plus oxaliplatin and
bevacizumab (Bev-FOLFOX). For practical purposes, this study will be a head to head
comparison of oxaliplatin versus cetuximab, since the other components of both regimens will
be the same.

Inclusion Criteria


INCLUSION CRITERIA:

- Histologically or cytologically confirmed colorectal cancer with metastatic disease

- Measurable disease

- Previously irradiated lesions will be considered evaluable, if they progressed since
radiation

- Has disease other than limited to surgically resectable liver-only or lung-only
metastatic disease

- Not received prior chemo and/or biotherapy for metastatic disease

- Not received oxaliplatin, bevacizumab, or cetuximab in the adjuvant setting

therapy, or stroke

- Sustained hypertension, as characterized by persistent blood pressures greater than
150/100 despite medical management

biologic composition to bevacizumab, cetuximab, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil,
leucovorin, or other agents used in the study

- Received prior cetuximab or other EGFR-directed therapy, or history of prior
anti-cancer murine or chimeric monoclonal antibody therapy; prior humanized and human
monoclonal antibody therapy is also excluded.

- Received prior treatment with bevacizumab or other agents specifically targeting VEGF
or VEGF receptors

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, not limited to, ongoing or active
infection requiring parenteral antibiotics, symptomatic congestive heart failure,
uncontrolled hypertension, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric
illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements in the
opinion of the Investigator/Treating Physician

abscess within 6 months prior to Day 1

- Current or recent use of a thrombolytic agent within last 30 days. Use for clearance
of central line catheter is permitted.
