Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44416   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7423   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Prospective investigation of overall survival from randomisation to third-line treatment (OS3) under cetuximab rechallenge versus an anti-EGFR-free treatment in patients that have responded to first-line treatment with cetuximab in combination with FOLFIRI or FOLFOX or FOLFOXIRI with CR or PR of any duration or SD ≥ 6 months
    Protection of trial subjects
    All study drugs were approved agents used in standard regimens for metastatic colorectal cancer. Toxicities were graded per NCI-CTCAE v4.03, and the protocol specified grade-based dose reduction, delay and discontinuation rules for each drug (e.g. permanent discontinuation of cetuximab after grade 3/4 infusion-related reactions). De-escalation of first-line therapy was permitted in case of toxicity, and treatment breaks at the patient's request or for surgery/radiotherapy were allowed. To minimise pain and distress, supportive measures were mandated or recommended: premedication with an H1 antihistamine and a corticosteroid before the first cetuximab infusion, a slow initial infusion rate with close monitoring of vital signs for at least two hours; prophylactic doxycycline or minocycline plus basic skin care to reduce cetuximab-induced skin toxicity; prophylactic antiemetics; atropine for irinotecan-related cholinergic syndrome; and a defined loperamide regimen for delayed diarrhoea with clear criteria for hospitalisation. Bevacizumab was paused around surgery to avoid wound-healing complications. Blood samples for translational research were collected during routine venipunctures. If a repeat tumour biopsy before third-line treatment was infeasible or posed an unacceptable risk, a liquid biopsy could be used instead to confirm RAS wild-type status. Safety was further ensured by expedited SAE/SUSAR reporting, annual safety reports, on-site monitoring and planned interim safety analyses for first-line and third-line treatment.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Part 1 recruited patients in Germany and Austria at 120 sites (111 DE, 9 AT). First patient randomised 11 Aug 2015, last 15 Feb 2021. Planned sample size was increased from 450 to 570 by amendment 6 (Dec 2018). In total, 672 patients were randomised; 657 received study treatment (DE 557, AT 100).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patients had untreated, non-resectable RAS wild-type mCRC, ECOG 0-1, measurable disease and adequate organ function. One prior FOLFIRI cycle was allowed if treatment was urgent. Screening was done within 28 days before randomisation; no wash-out or run-in period. Number of screened patients and screening failures were not recorded.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: FIRE-4 consists of two consecutively randomised parts. Therefore, the number of subjects starting Part 2 (n = 93: A2 = 47, B2 = 46) is not expected to equal the number of subjects completing Part 1.
