Multicenter, Open-Label, Phase 2 Study Of CPX-1 (Irinotecan HCl: Floxuridine) Liposome Injection In Patients With Advanced Colorectal Carcinoma


CPX-1 Liposome Injection is a liposomal formulation of a fixed combination of the
antineoplastic drugs irinotecan HCl and floxuridine. The two drugs are present inside the
liposome in a fixed 1:1 molar ratio. CPX-1 was developed as a means of delivering and
preserving a fixed 1:1 molar ratio of the two drugs. This ratio was found in vitro and in
vivo models of cancer to have synergistic anti-cancer activity and preservation and delivery
of this ratio is important because other ratios of these two drugs have been found to be
antagonistic or only additive. Both floxuridine and irinotecan HCl are active
chemotherapeutic agents, each approved for clinical use in the United States and Canada for
colorectal cancer. Current practice routinely administers 5- fluorouracil with irinotecan
in combination regimens in first or second line treatment without the means of preserving
the synergistic ratio.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Ability to understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent form

- Age > 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form

- No more than two regimens overall; one for neoadjuvant/adjuvant and one for
metastatic/advanced disease

- Prior therapy (Group 2, irinotecan refractory):

- Disease progression on or within 3 months after prior irinotecan-containing
regimen

- CPX-1 treatment must start within 6 months after documentation of disease
progression on irinotecan (other therapies are permitted after irinotecan and
before study entry)

- Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements

- Life expectancy of at least 24 weeks

- Laboratory values fulfilling the following:

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1500 cells/mm3 (1.5 x 109/L)

- Platelet count > 100,000/mm3 (100 x 109/L)

- Serum creatinine <1.5 x upper limits of normal (ULN)

- Serum SGOT/AST and SGPT/ALT <3 x upper limits of normal (ULN) (<5 times ULN if
caused by liver metastases)

- Serum total bilirubin < 1.25 x upper limits of normal (<2 times ULN if caused by
liver metastases)

period and for three months afterward if not otherwise documented to be infertile.

the patient recovered from any toxicity related to the radiation therapy.

2 to 3 stools above the normal daily rate within the past four weeks.

- Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality or psychiatric illness that
would prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form.
