Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Avastin (Bevacizumab) in Combination With XELOX in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (NCT NCT00700570)

NCT ID: NCT00700570

Last Updated: 2016-11-02

Results Overview

Participants were assessed via microscopic and macroscopic examination for tumor resectability after completion of 5 cycles of neoadjuvant treatment. Unresectable participants exhibited any of the following criteria: greater than or equal to (≥) 4 liver metastases; location and/or distribution of metastatic disease within the liver considered unsuitable for resection with clear margins; liver involvement precluding resection, in the setting of adequate parenchymal volume for otherwise viable liver function in the immediate postoperative period; and inability to maintain adequate circulation for viable liver function. Participants who had not met any of the above criteria at the end of 5 cycles underwent surgical resection. The percentage of participants with conversion from initially unresectable to resectable liver metastases was calculated as \[number of participants eligible for surgical resection divided by the number analyzed\] multiplied by 100.

Resected
Participants with unresectable liver metastases secondary to colorectal cancer (CRC) were assigned to receive neoadjuvant treatment of intravenous (IV) bevacizumab with oral (PO) capecitabine and IV oxaliplatin (XELOX). Bevacizumab was given as 5 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) on Day 1 of each 14-day cycle during Cycles 1 to 5 and/or Cycles 8 to 12. During Cycles 1 to 12, IV oxaliplatin was given as 85 milligrams per meter-squared (mg/m\^2) on Day 1, and PO capecitabine as 1000 mg/m\^2 twice daily on Days 1 to 5 and 8 to 12. Resectability was assessed at completion of Cycle 5. Resectable participants followed a new algorithm: complete Cycle 6 (XELOX), rest for 4 weeks, undergo surgery, rest for 4 weeks, complete adjuvant therapy during Cycles 7 (XELOX) and 8 to 12 (bevacizumab plus XELOX), and continue an additional 6 cycles with capecitabine and bevacizumab per Investigator discretion. Participants could be withdrawn at any point for unacceptable toxicity.

Resectability was assessed at completion of Cycle 5. Unresectable participants with partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD), according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, repeated neoadjuvant treatment until documented resectability or progressive disease (PD). Participants could be withdrawn at any point for unacceptable toxicity.

Population: ITT Population.

Objective tumor response was assessed using RECIST version 1.1. Disease progression was defined as a ≥20 percent (%) increase in the sum of longest diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum obtained at previous tumor assessment, or the appearance of any new lesions.

Timeframe: Up to approximately 3 years (at Baseline, end of Cycle 5, time of surgery, within 4 weeks of EOT, and at least 4 weeks after initial response)

Population: ITT Population.

Objective tumor response was assessed using RECIST version 1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions, and PR was defined as a ≥30% decrease in the sum of longest diameters compared to Baseline. Response was to be confirmed at a minimum of 4 weeks after the first documented response. Stable disease (SD) was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, as well as no new target lesions. Disease progression or PD was defined as a ≥20% increase in the sum of longest diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum obtained at previous tumor assessment, or the appearance of any new lesions. Non-evaluability for tumor assessment was also documented when applicable. The percentage of participants with each level of response was calculated as \[number of participants meeting the respective criteria divided by the number analyzed\] multiplied by 100.
