Duration of overall response
+4 more

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Group 2: Paricalcitol 7 mcg/kg Days 1 and 8Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
5-FU, LV, and nal-IRI will be administered at standard fixed doses. Briefly, 5-FU will be given at a dose of 2400 mg/m^2 continuous IV infusion over 46 hours, LV will be given at 400 mg/m^2 IV over 30 minutes, and liposomal irinotecan will be given at a dose of 70 mg/m^2 IV over 90 minutes (unless homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 7/7 allele, in which case the dose will start at 50 mg/m^2 and escalate to 70 mg/m^2 in subsequent cycles if no excessive toxicity is experienced) on Day 1 of each 14-day cycle. Paricalcitol 7 mcg/kg on Days 1 and 8 Treatment with liposomal irinotecan plus 5FU/ LV may continue indefinitely, and treatment with paricalcitol may continue for up to 10 cycles (20 weeks)
Group II: Group 1: Paricalcitol 75 mcg Days 1 and 8Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
5-FU, LV, and nal-IRI will be administered at standard fixed doses. Briefly, 5-FU will be given at a dose of 2400 mg/m^2 continuous IV infusion over 46 hours, LV will be given at 400 mg/m^2 IV over 30 minutes, and liposomal irinotecan will be given at a dose of 70 mg/m^2 IV over 90 minutes (unless homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 7/7 allele, in which case the dose will start at 50 mg/m^2 and escalate to 70 mg/m^2 in subsequent cycles if no excessive toxicity is experienced) on Day 1 of each 14-day cycle. Paricalcitol 75 mcg on Days 1 and 8 Treatment with liposomal irinotecan plus 5FU/ LV may continue indefinitely, and treatment with paricalcitol may continue for up to 10 cycles (20 weeks)
