About this trial

FIRE-8 is a prospective, randomized, open label, multicenter phase II clinical trial. To evaluate the effecacy of trifluridine / tipiracil and panitumumab (Arm A) compared to trifluridine / tipiracil and bevacizumab (Arm B), participants will be randomly assigned to either Arm A or Arm B for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.

The primary objectives of this study is to compare the effecacy of treatment with trifluridine / tipiracil plus panitumumab versus trifluridine / tipiracil plus bevacizumab.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient's signed informed consent

Patients ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent

Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum

Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 in a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan performed within 5 weeks prior to randomisation

Disqualifiers

Prior systemic therapy of metastatic disease. Note: Prior adjuvant chemotherapy is permitted, if completed > 3 months prior to randomisation. Multimodal treatment of rectal cancer is not considered antimetastatic therapy and does not preclude study participation

Known brain metastasis. In case of symptoms that are suggestive of brain metastasis, brain metastasis has to be ruled out by means of cranial CT/MRI.

Significant cardiovascular disease such as: New York Heart Association Class III or greater heart failure; myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to randomisation; balloon angioplasty (PTCA) with or without stenting within 6 months prior to randomisation; despite anti-arrhythmic therapy unstable cardiac arrhythmia > grade 2 NCI CTCAE; unstable angina pectoris

Transient ischaemic attack or cerebrovascular accident within 6 months prior to randomization, history of cerebral or aortic aneurysm or dissection

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Panitumumab 20 milligram/ML

    Biological/Vaccine

    Participants receive Panitumumab at 6mg/ kg intravenously (IV) on Day 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Treatment is continued until occurrence of progression according to RECIST 1.1 criteria as evaluated by the investigator or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Bevacizumab

    Biological/Vaccine

    Participants receive bevacizumab at 5 mg/ kg intravenously (IV) on Day 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Treatment is continued until occurrence of progression according to RECIST 1.1 criteria as evaluated by the investigator or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Trifluridine/Tipiracil Hydrochloride

    Drug

    Participants receive Trifluridine/tipiracil at 35 mg/m² BSA, twice daily, orally on days 1-5 and 8-12
