MDA-2003-0749, NCT00080834

Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the objective tumor response rate in patients with progressive locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum treated with DJ-927 as second-line treatment.

Secondary

  1. Determine the duration of response in patients treated with this drug.
  2. Determine the time to tumor progression in patients treated with this drug.
  3. Determine the median survival time in patients treated with this drug.
  4. Determine the quantitative and qualitative toxic effects of this drug in these patients.
  5. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum
    • Progressive locally advanced or metastatic disease


  • Received 1 prior irinotecan- or oxaliplatin-containing regimen


  • At least 1 measurable lesion
    • Target lesion must be outside field of prior radiotherapy


  • No symptomatic brain metastases


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Biologic therapy

  • No concurrent biologic therapy

Chemotherapy

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • At least 4 weeks since prior myelosuppressive chemotherapy and recovered
  • No other concurrent chemotherapy

Endocrine therapy

  • Not specified

Radiotherapy

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • At least 4 weeks since prior radiotherapy and recovered
  • No concurrent radiotherapy
    • Localized radiotherapy to non-indicator lesions for pain relief allowed provided other methods of pain control are ineffective

Surgery

  • At least 4 weeks since prior major surgery and recovered
  • No prior major surgery in the stomach or small intestine

Other

  • More than 28 days since prior investigational agents (including analgesics and/or antiemetics)
  • No other concurrent anticancer therapy
  • No other concurrent cytotoxic therapy
  • No concurrent grapefruit products

Patient Characteristics:

Age

  • 18 and over

Performance status

  • ECOG 0-2

Life expectancy

  • At least 3 months

Hematopoietic

  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm3
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3

Hepatic

  • ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) (5 times ULN if liver metastases are present)
  • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN

Renal

  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 times ULN

Gastrointestinal

  • No difficulty with swallowing
  • No malabsorption
  • No diarrhea (excess of 2-3 stools/day above normal frequency) within the past month
  • No history of chronic diarrhea

Other

  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • HIV negative
  • No concurrent serious infection
  • No other concurrent severe or uncontrolled underlying medical condition that would preclude study participation
  • No neuropathy ≥ grade 2
  • No history of any severe or life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction
  • No psychiatric disorder that would preclude study compliance
  • No other malignancy within the past 2 years except nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix

Expected Enrollment

A total of 56-62 patients (28-31 per stratum) will be accrued for this study within 12 months.

Outline

This is an open-label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior first-line treatment regimen (irinotecan-containing vs oxaliplatin-containing).

Patients receive oral DJ-927* on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

 [Note: *Patients receive 1 of 2 selected doses to confirm the previously established maximum tolerated dose]

Patients are followed every 3 months.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
