E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Phase I: To determine the safety and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of galunisertib plus capecitabine in patients with advanced chemotherapy resistant CRC with PM, who progressed after standard chemotherapy.
Phase II: To determine the anti-tumor activity, as measured by objective response rate (ORR) of galunisertib in combination with capecitabine in patients with advanced chemotherapy resistant CRC with PM. Secondary objectives include the safety and tolerability of the combination therapy, duration of response (DOR), time to response (TTR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), the pharmacokinetic profile of galunisertib in combination with capecitabine and exploratory genetic determinants of response and resistance (e.g. TGF-b expression) |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Any treatment with investigational drugs within 30 days prior to receiving the first dose of investigational treatment and/or radio- or chemotherapy within the last 2 weeks prior to receiving the first dose of investigational treatment. Palliative radia-tion (1x 8Gy) is allowed; except radiotherapy focused on the liver; 2. Known or suspected complete or partial dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficien-cy (Mutant for DPD*2A genotype, 1236G>A genotype, 1679T>G genotype and 2846A>T genotype); 3. Symptomatic or untreated leptomeningeal disease; 4. Symptomatic brain metastasis. Patients previously treated or untreated for these conditions that are asymptomatic in the absence of corticosteroid therapy are al-lowed to enrol. Brain metastasis must be stable with verification by imaging (e.g. brain MRI or CT completed at screening demonstrating no current evidence of pro-gressive brain metastases). Patients are not permitted to receive enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs or corticosteroids; 5. History of cardiac disease, including myocardial infarction within 6 months before first dose of study medication, unstable angina pectoris, New York Heart Associa-tion Class III/IV congestive heart failure, or uncontrolled hypertension, major cardiac abnormalities, a predisposition for developing aneurysms including family history of aneurysms, Marfan syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve, or evidence of damage to the large vessels of the heart; 6. Treatment with CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors and/or concomitant treatment with CYP2C9 substrates with narrow therapeutic window, including but not limited to vit-amin K antagonizing anticoagulants (e.g. acenocoumarol, phenprocoumon and war-farin) and phenytoin is not allowed; 7. Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of oral galunisertib (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, major small bowel surgery); 8. Woman who are pregnant or breast feeding; 9. Patients who have undergone any major surgery within the last 2 weeks prior to starting study drug or who would not have fully recovered from previous surgery; 10. Active infection requiring systemic antibiotics or uncontrolled infectious disease; 11. Patients with a known history of hepatitis B or C or known Human Immunodeficiency Virus HIV-1 or HIV-2 type patients; 12. Other severe, acute, or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnor-mality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration or that may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for the study; 13. Known hypersensitivity to one of the study drugs or excipients.
