About this trial

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, phase II study. It is expected to enroll 229 patients and aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FOLFOX8 versus mFOLFOX6 combined with bevacizumab or cetuximab as first-line treatment for unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer. The primary objective is to assess progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients. Secondary objectives include assessment of objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), safety, and other outcomes.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Oxaliplatin

    Drug

    85 mg/m² intravenously over 2 hours on Day 1, every 2 weeks for up to 12 cycles. For patients without disease progression after 12 cycles, oxaliplatin is discontinued and not used in maintenance.

  • 5-Fluorouracil

    Drug

    400 mg/m² intravenous bolus on Day 1, followed by 2400 mg/m² administered as a continuous intravenous infusion over 46-48 hours. Cycle repeats every 2 weeks for up to 12 cycles. Patients without disease progression then enter maintenance with the same 5-FU regimen every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Levofolinic Acid For Injection

    Drug

    200 mg/m² mixed with 5-FU 2400 mg/m² as a continuous intravenous infusion over 46-48 hours on Day 1 (concurrent infusion). Cycle repeats every 2 weeks for up to 12 cycles. Patients without disease progression then enter maintenance with the same mixture every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Calcium Folinate

    Drug

    400 mg/m² intravenously over 2 hours on Day 1, administered sequentially before 5-FU. Cycle repeats every 2 weeks for up to 12 cycles. Patients without disease progression then enter maintenance with the same dose and schedule of calcium folinate (without oxaliplatin) every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Bevacizumab

    Drug

    5 mg/kg intravenously on Day 1 every 2 weeks, starting from Cycle 2 (after genetic testing results are available). Continue through induction and maintenance until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Cetuximab (EGFR inhibitor)

    Drug

    500 mg/m² intravenously over more than 2 hours on Day 1 every 2 weeks, starting from Cycle 2 (after genetic testing results are available). Continue through induction and maintenance until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Progression-Free Survival(PFS)

Defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or death from any cause.

Time frame
From date of randomization to disease progression or death, an average of 14 months.

Secondary outcomes

1

Objective Response Rate(ORR)

Defined as the proportion of subjects achieving complete response or partial response evaluated by investigator based on RECIST 1.1

Time frame
From randomization until disease progression or death, an average of 14 months.
2

Overall Survival (OS)

Defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

Time frame
From randomization until death, an average of 30 months.
3

Impact of Treatment Regimen on Infusion Time

Total time required for intravenous infusion of leucovorin/Levofolinic Acid For Injection and 5-FU per cycle.

Time frame
Measured from cycle 1 until treatment discontinuation,an average of 14 months
4

Incidence of Adverse Events(AEs)

The incidence, severity, and causality of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) will be assessed according to CTCAE v5.0.

Time frame
From first dose of study treatment to 28 days after last dose, an average of 15 months.
