E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To estimate the treatment effect as measured by progression free survival (PFS) in subjects receiving AMG 386 and FOLFIRI compared with FOLFIRI and placebo in the second line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate other measures of efficacy or clinical response including objective
response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), overall survival (OS) in subjects
treated with AMG 386 + FOLFIRI relative to subjects treated with FOLFIRI + placebo
To evaluate progression free survival and measures of efficacy by KRAS status
To evaluate patient reported outcomes (PROs), relative dose intensity of AMG 386
and all FOLFIRI components, incidence of anti-AMG 386 antibody formation,
pharmacokinetics of AMG 386 (Cmax and AUC) and safety (incidence of AEs and
significant laboratory changes)
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of FOLFIRI (Css and AUC for 5-FU; Cmax and
AUC for irinotecan and its active metabolite SN-38) in a sub-group of subjects
at selected sites outside of Europe |

E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
The sub-study will only take place at sites outside of the EU
(A substudy conducted in subjects enrolled on this study at selected institutions. These subjects will undergo intensive PK sampling of AMG 386 at Week 5. Sparse PK samples for AMG 386 PK will be collected from all subjects as described in Section 7.2. In addition, a sub-group of subjects enrolled on this study at selected institutions outside of Europe will undergo intensive (if feasible) and/or sparse PK sampling of irinotecan (and its active metabolite, SN-38) and 5-FU at Week 5 and at subsequent visits as described in Section 7.2.) |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Progression-free survival (PFS): time from date of randomization to date of disease progression per the modified RECIST criteria or death. Subjects not meeting the criteria for progression by the analysis data cutoff date will be censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary analysis will occur when 100 PFS events have been observed |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• Objective response rate (ORR): the incidence of either a confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) per modified RECIST criteria. A confirmed CR requires 2 assessments of CR of at least 28 days apart. Two assessments of at least 28 days apart of either CR or PR are required for determination of PR. Subjects who do not meet the criteria for confirmed response by the database cutoff date are considered non-responders
• Duration of response (DOR): (calculated only for those subjects with a confirmed objective response) time from first confirmed objective response to disease progression per the modified RECIST criteria or death. Subjects who do not meet the criteria for progression or who die by the database cutoff date for analysis are censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date
• Overall survival (OS): time from date of randomization to date of death from any cause. Subjects who are still alive at the database cutoff date for analysis are censored at their last contact date
• PFS by KRAS status
• Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and significant laboratory changes from baseline
• Overall exposure, dose adjustments, and rates of discontinuation for FOLFIRI
• Pharmacokinetics of AMG 386 (Cmax and AUC)
• Pharmacokinetics of FOLFIRI (Css and AUC for 5-FU; Cmax and AUC for
irinotecan and its active metabolite SN-38) in a sub-group of subjects at
selected sites outside of Europe
• Incidence of the occurrence of anti-AMG 386 antibody formation
• Change in tumor burden as measured by sums of longest parameters of target
lesions
• Time to response (TTR): time from date of randomization to date of first response for confirmed responders. Subjects with a best response of stables disease (SD) by the database cutoff date for analysis are censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date. Non-responders with a best response of progressive disease (PD)
are censored at the maximum time to a first confirmed response among all responders
• Time to progression (TTP): time from date of randomization to date of disease progression per modified RECIST criteria. Subjects who do not meet the criteria for progression by the database cutoff date for analysis will be censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date
• Change (improvement or worsening) in patient-reported outcomes as assessed with the EORTC QLQ-C30 (see Section 10.6.2.6 for details regarding this instrument) |
