United States34 participantsStarted 2020-10-19
Plain-language summary
The study will use previously established doses of panitumumab or cetuximab in the metastatic setting for the treatment of unresectable colorectal cancer (CRC). It is designed to investigate an alternative treatment strategy to maximize the benefit to inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) for a highly selected patient population. It will enroll 71 participants with left-sided, unresectable metastatic CRC. Participants will be on study up to 5 years.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information
* As determined by the enrolling physician or protocol designee, ability of the participant to understand and comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 2
* Have a diagnosis of histologically confirmed metastatic colorectal cancer with primary tumor located beyond the splenic flexure. Histologic confirmation of a colorectal primary tumor is acceptable if accompanied by radiographic evidence of metastatic disease.
* For Cohort A: Participants must enroll for study treatment in the first or second-line metastatic setting. Participants may receive 1 month of standard chemotherapy in the metastatic setting and still be eligible to initiate protocol therapy in the first-line setting. Adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy does not count as a line of therapy even if given in the setting of metastatic disease (oligometastatic), unless disease recurrence was noted within 6 months of completing the last dose of the adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy.
* For Cohort B: Participants must have had at least stable disease (per treating physician) on a prior EGFR inhibitor containing regimen and it must be at least 4 months since the prior anti-EGFR inhibitor treatment was completed. Participants previously enrolled in Cohort A can later enroll in Cohort B should the eligibility criteria be me…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
