E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine whether adjuvant treatment with 160 mg ASA once daily for 3 years can improve Time To Recurrence (TTR) in patients with colorectal cancer with somatic alterations in the PIK3CA (exon 9 and 20) compared with placebo. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To determine whether adjuvant treatment with 160 mg ASA once daily for 3 years can improve Disease-Free Survival (DFS) in patients with colorectal cancer with somatic alterations in the PIK3CA (exon 9 and 20) compared with placebo. To determine whether adjuvant treatment with 160 mg ASA once daily for 3 years can improve DFS in patients with colorectal cancer with somatic alterations in the PIK3CA (other than exon 9 and 20), PIK3R1 or PTEN genes compared with placebo. To determine whether adjuvant treatment with 160 mg ASA once daily for 3 years can improve TTR in patients with colorectal cancer with somatic alterations in the PIK3CA (other than exon 9 and 20), PIK3R1 or PTEN genes compared with placebo To compare overall survival (OS) at 5 years from randomization in patients receiving low-dose ASA versus placebo. To assess overall safety and tolerability. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Tumor with somatic alterations in PIK3CA, PIK3R1 or PTEN - Colon or rectal cancer tumor stage II-III - Patient between18-80 years (including) - Radical surgery according to surgeon and pathologist - Karnofsky performance status ≥70% - Platelets ≥ 100 x 109 / L - Clean Colonoscopy or Computed Tomography (CT) colon within 3 months preoperatively or postoperatively but before randomization - Patient able to swallow tablets
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Hereditary colorectal cancer linked to familial colonic polyposis or Lynch syndrome - Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) - Distant metastases - Other cancers (excluding colorectal cancer or other skin cancer than melanoma) within 3 years from screening - Known bleeding diathesis (such as hemophilia) - Concomitant antiplatelet therapy (eg clopidrogrel or ticlopidine) or anticoagulant therapy (warfarin or low molecular weight heparin). Postoperative treatment with low molecular weight heparin must be withdrawn before administration of study treatment - Active gastritis or peptic ulcer, or significant surgical post-op bleeding, within the previous three months assessed at screening and randomization - Ongoing regular use of corticosteroids, Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) - Uncontrolled hypertension according to Investigator's judgment - Clinically significant liver impairment according to Investigators judgment - Existing renal failure according to Investigator's judgment. Renal failure with decreased creatinine clearance <60 should lead to consultation with a nephrologist. - Significant medical illness that would interfere with study participation - Pregnancy or breastfeeding females - Known allergy to NSAIDs or ASA - Current participation in another clinical trial that will be in conflict with the present study - Patients who are unlikely to comply with the protocol (e.g. uncooperative attitude, inability to return for subsequent visits) and/or otherwise considered by the Investigator to be unlikely to complete the study Patients with regular administration of ASA, defined as >3 doses/week, will be included in the observation group. Other additional regular use of ASA must be withdrawn before randomization. |
