E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess efficacy (objective response rate, ORR) of adding panitumumab to FOLFOXIRI in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic colorectal cancer expressing wild-type RAS
Cohort I) Definitively unresectable metastatic disease, with a focus on symptomatic metastatic disease and/or large tumor load,
or
Cohort II) With chance of secondary resection with curative intent
according to recent S3 guidelines of the German Cancer Society. The ORR will be compared to expectations derived from historical data, which are verified by a randomised control group without the antibody.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate ORR in both cohorts
• To evaluate secondary resection rate with curative intent for patients cohort II
• To evaluate pathological response in liver surgery specimen (pretreatment biopsy of liver metastases in cohort II within the translational research program)
• To evaluate disease control rate (DCR)
• To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS)
• To evaluate duration of response
• To evaluate time to response
• To evaluate overall survival (OS)
• To evaluate toxicity and feasibility
• To assess time to recurrence (cohort II in case of secondary resection)
• To assess liver toxicity, and histopathological response rate for resected patients (central histological review, cf. appendix 6)
• To assess quality of life
by adding panitumumab to FOLFOXIRI.
• Translational research: detection of EGFR expression, functional genetic polymorphisms of the EGFR gene, EGFR amplification, EGFR activation, EGFR signalling, epigenetics (methylation) and miRNA profiles

Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal, GOT-GPT ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal in absence of liver metastases, or ≤ 5 x upper limit of normal in presence of liver metastases, AP ≤ 5 x upper limit of normal
Magnesium ≥ lower limit of normal; calcium ≥ lower limit of normal (may be substituted to maintain or exceed this level)
• Negative pregnancy test and willingness to use highly effective methods of contraception (per institutional standard) during treatment and for 6 months (male or female) after the end of treatment (adequate: oral contraceptives, intrauterine device or barrier method in conjunction with spermicidal jelly).
• Before subject registration, written informed consent must be given according to ICH-GCP, and national/local regulations.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Past or current history of malignancies except for the indication under this study and curatively treated:
- Basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
- In-situ carcinoma of the cervix
- Other malignant disease without recurrence after at least 5 years of follow-up
• Clinically significant cardiovascular disease in (incl. myocardial infarction, unstable angina, symptomatic congestive heart failure, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia) ≤ 6 months before enrollment.
• Clinically relevant interstitial lung disease, e.g. pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis or evidence of interstitial lung disease on baseline chest CT scan.
• History of evidence upon physical examination of CNS disease unless adequately treated (e.g. primary brain tumour, seizure not controlled with standard medical therapy, brain metastases or history of stroke).
• Pre-existing neuropathy > grade 1 (NCI CTCAE), except for loss of tendon reflex
• Allogeneic transplantation requiring immunosuppressive therapy.
• Severe non-healing wounds, ulcers or bone fractions.
• Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy.
• Patients not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation must have an INR < 1,5 ULN and aPTT > 1,5 ULN within 7 days prior to randomization. The use of full dose anticoagulants is allowed as long as the INR or aPTT is within therapeutic limits (according to the medical standard in the institution) and the patient has been on a stable dose for anticoagulants for at least two weeks at the time of randomisation.
• Concomitant therapy with certain anti-viral medicines (sorivudine and brivudine or analogue compounds).
• Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, nor significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to study treatment start, or anticipation of the need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study except for surgery for colorectal cancer with curative intent and central venous line placement for chemotherapy administration.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding women.
• Subjects with known allergy to the study drugs or to any of its excipients.
• Known DPD deficiency.
• Current or recent (within the 28 days prior to starting study treatment) treatment of another investigational drug or participation in another investigational study.
• Known grade III/IV allergic reaction against monoclonal antibodies.
• Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the subject before registration in the trial.
