A Study of Irinotecan Plus Cetuximab With or Without Enzastaurin in Participants With Colorectal Cancer

A Randomized Phase 2 Study of Irinotecan Plus Cetuximab With or Without Enzastaurin in Patients With Recurrent Colorectal Cancer

To see how well enzastaurin in combination with irinotecan and cetuximab works versus irinotecan and cetuximab in participants who have progressed within 3 months.

Inclusion Criteria:

Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if they meet all of the following criteria:

1. Histologic diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
2. Performance status of 0, 1, or 2 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status schedule.
3. Have had documented disease progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.0; Therasse et al. 2000) within 3 months after receiving 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) plus bevacizumab as first-line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease, or within 6 months after receiving FOLFOX with or without bevacizumab in the adjuvant setting.
4. Standard radiation therapy for rectal cancer is allowed. Participants must have recovered from the toxic effects (except for alopecia) of the treatment prior to study enrollment. Prior radiotherapy must be completed 4 weeks before study entry. Lesions that have been radiated in the advanced setting cannot be included as sites of measurable disease unless clear tumor progression has been documented in these lesions since the end of radiation therapy.
5. At least one uni-dimensionally measurable lesion meeting RECIST v1.0 guidelines (at least 10 millimeters [mm] in longest diameter by spiral computerized tomography (CT) scan, or at least 20 mm by standard techniques). Positron emission tomography (PET) scans and ultrasounds may not be used.

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants will be excluded from the study if they meet any of the following criteria:

1. Have received treatment within the last 4 weeks with a drug that has not received regulatory approval for any indication at the time of study entry.
2. Have previously completed or withdrawn from this study or any other study investigating enzastaurin, irinotecan, or cetuximab.
3. Have a serious concomitant systemic disorder [such as active infection including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or cardiac disease] that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the participant's ability to adhere to the protocol.
4. Have a serious cardiac condition, such as myocardial infarction within 6 months, angina, or heart disease, as defined by the New York Heart Association Class III or IV.
5. Have a prior malignancy (other than colorectal cancer, or adequately treated carcinoma in-situ of the cervix or nonmelanoma skin cancer), unless that prior malignancy was diagnosed and definitively treated at least 5 years previously with no subsequent evidence of recurrence. Participants with a history of low grade (Gleason score less than or equal to 6) localized prostate cancer will be eligible even if diagnosed less than 5 years previously.
