Evaluating Panitumumab (ABX-EGF) Monotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Following Treatment With Fluoropyrimidine, Irinotecan, and Oxaliplatin Chemotherapy

A Phase 2 Multicenter Single Arm Clinical Trial of ABX-EGF Monotherapy in Subjects With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Following Treatment With Fluoropyrimidine, Irinotecan, and Oxaliplatin Chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to determine that panitumumab will have clinically meaningful anti-tumor activity in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have developed progressive disease or relapsed while on or after prior fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan and oxaliplatin chemotherapy.

Panitumumab was administered once every 2 weeks until participants developed progressive disease, were unable to tolerate panitumumab, or discontinued treatment for other reasons (eg, administrative decision). Participants then attended a safety follow-up visit 4 weeks from the last panitumumab infusion. Participants were subsequently contacted every 3 months from the last panitumumab infusion through month 24 to assess disease status and survival.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Pathologic diagnosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma (diagnostic tissue obtained by tissue biopsy)
• Metastatic colorectal carcinoma
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2
• Documented evidence of disease progression during, or following treatment, with fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan and oxaliplatin chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer
• Radiographic documentation of disease progression during or within 6 months following the most recent chemotherapy regimen is required
• Bidimensionally measurable disease
• Tumor expressing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) by immunohistochemistry
• At least 2 but no more than 3 prior chemotherapy regimens for metastatic colorectal cancer
• Adequate hematologic, renal and hepatic function

Exclusion Criteria:

• Symptomatic brain metastases requiring treatment
• Patient with a history of interstitial pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis or evidence of interstitial pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis
• Use of systemic chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 30 days before enrollment
• Prior epidermal growth factor receptor targeting agents
• Prior anti-tumor therapies including prior experimental agents or approved anti-tumor small molecules and biologics of short (less than 1 week) serum half-life within 30 days before enrollment, or prior experimental or approved proteins with longer serum half-life (e.g., AvastinTM) within 6 weeks before enrollment
