Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Safety, Efficacy, Therapy

To determine progression-free survival (PFS) of repeat sequential treatment with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (the Nordic FLOX regimen) and an immune checkpoint inhibitor (nivolumab) in previously untreated unresectable metastatic pMMR/MSS colorectal cancer (CRC).

Secondary objectives 2

  1. To determine safety and tolerability of the repeat sequential treatment.
  2. To monitor quality-of-life alterations during the therapy course.

Conditions and MedDRA coding

Colorectal cancer

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 4

  1. Patient has histologically verified CRC adenocarcinoma.
  2. Patient has radiologically measurable metastatic disease.
  3. Patient has not had previous systemic cytotoxic therapy for the metastatic disease, except for previous neoadjuvant treatment.
  4. Patient is eligible for the Nordic FLOX chemotherapy regimen.

Exclusion criteria 13

  1. Patient has initially resectable metastatic disease for which systemic therapy is deemed superfluous.
  2. Patient does not present any infradiaphragmatic metastatic manifestation.
  3. Patient has untreated or symptomatic brain metastasis (patient must be symptom-free without the use of corticosteroids).
  4. Patient experiences a period of less than 6 months since discontinuation of neoadjuvant or adjuvant oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy.
  5. Patient is ineligible for full (100%) chemotherapy doses at first treatment cycle.
  6. Patient has had radiation therapy against the only measurable lesion within 4 weeks of start of study treatment.
  7. Patient has a nervous system disorder worse than grade 1 of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0.
  8. Patient has any medical condition or has undergone any treatment within 4 weeks of start of study treatment that will preclude him/her from cancer immune therapy.
  9. Patient has any medical condition that will preclude him/her from receiving a component of the FLOX regimen.
  10. Patient has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 2 or worse.
  11. Patient has serum/plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) of 60 mg/L or higher.
  12. Patient does not meet the following requirements at baseline: adequate bone marrow function without current use of colony-stimulating factors (minimum values of neutrophils 1.5 x10e9/L, platelets 100 x10e9/L, hemoglobin 10 g/dL), adequate liver function (maximum values of AST/ALT 5 xULN and bilirubin 2 xULN; albumin value of 30 g/L or higher; INR within normal level), adequate renal function (maximum creatinine value of 1.5 xULN), protein in urine less than 2+ by dipstick (within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment).
  13. Patient has any other reason, in the opinion of Clinical Investigator, not to participate in the study.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. PFS: radiologic assessment following every 2 cycles each of FLOX and nivolumab, according to RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST

Secondary endpoints 6

  1. Safety: incidence of adverse events, as reported according to CTCAE v5.0, recorded on onboing basis and summarized at every visit.
  2. Tolerability: adverse event grading, as assessed by CTCAE v5.0, recorded on onboing basis and summarized at every visit.
  3. Objective response rate: the percentage of patients with a confirmed complete or partial response.
  4. Duration of response: the time from the first documentation of a complete or partial response to disease progression on active therapy.
  5. Secondary surgical curative-intent resection rate: the percentage of patients with a confirmed resection of metastatic disease with microscopically free margin (R0).
  6. Overall survival: the time from study enrollment to death of any cause.
