An Exploratory Study of Chemotherapy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Based Upon Thymidine Phosphorylase Expression, KRAS and BRAF Mutation Status, and ERCC1 Expression
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the feasibility, as defined by completion of three specific marker assays and
generation of clinically meaningful endpoints, of selecting treatment regimen components
based on biologic tumor characteristics in chemotherapy-naïve patients with metastatic
colorectal cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To investigate the response rate associated with genotype/phenotype guided therapy using
Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.
II. To investigate the time to failure of treatment strategy associated with
genotype/phenotype guided therapy, defined as the time from initiation of investigational
treatment strategy until death, disease progression, initiation of a new therapeutic agent,
or disease progression while on a partial or complete treatment holiday.
III. To investigate the progression-free survival associated with genotype/phenotype guided
therapy, defined as the time from enrollment to time of progression of disease or death.
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to treatment groups based on marker assay results.
ARM A: TP-/uncertain, KRAS and BRAF wild-type, ERCC1 high ARM B: TP-/uncertain, KRAS and
BRAF wild-type, ERCC1 low/uncertain ARM C: TP-/uncertain, KRAS or BRAF mutant/uncertain,
ERCC1 high ARM D: TP-/uncertain, KRAS or BRAF mutant/uncertain, ERCC1 low/uncertain ARM E:
TP+, KRAS and BRAF wild-type, ERCC1 high ARM F: TP+, KRAS and BRAF wild-type, ERCC1
low/uncertain ARM G: TP+, KRAS or BRAF mutant/uncertain, ERCC1 high ARM H: TP+, KRAS or BRAF
mutant/uncertain, ERCC1 low/uncertain ARM I: TP uninterpretable, KRAS or BRAF
uninterpretable, ERCC1 uninterpretable
KRAS testing is standard of care in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer; tymidine
phosphorylase, ERCC1 and BRAF testing assays are still experimental.
Courses in arms A-D and arm I repeat every 28 days and courses in arms E-H repeat every 21
days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 18 months.
