Study Summary

This trial is comparing panitumumab to the standard of care for treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread and is negative for RAS wild-type.

Who is the study for?
Adults with RAS wild-type colorectal cancer that has spread and/or can't be surgically removed, who have tried anti-EGFR therapy for at least 3 months. They must have good organ function, no major mutations in certain genes, and agree to use contraception. Excluded are those with specific gene mutations or amplifications, prior treatment with both TAS-102 and regorafenib, inability to swallow tablets, uncontrolled illnesses or conditions that could affect the trial's outcomes.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if panitumumab retreatment is more effective than standard treatments (regorafenib or TAS-102) for metastatic colorectal cancer without resistance mutations. Panitumumab may inhibit tumor growth by blocking growth factors; regorafenib might stop tumors by interfering with these factors; TAS-102 aims to kill or halt cancer cell division.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Panitumumab can cause skin reactions and magnesium deficiency. Regorafenib may lead to hand-foot skin reactions, high blood pressure, fatigue, diarrhea. TAS-102 side effects include low blood counts leading to infections or bleeding problems as well as nausea.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm A (panitumumab)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive panitumumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a maximum of 24 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm B (regorafenib, trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride)Active Control4 Interventions
Patients receive trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride PO BID on days 1-5 and 8-12, or regorafenib PO QD on days 1-21, at the discretion of the treating physician. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a maximum of 24 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this clinical trial popular in the United States?

"To make participation more convenient for patients, the 17 sites running this study are located in or near major cities including Chicago, Los Angeles and Atlanta."

Answered by AI

What are the primary indications for Panitumumab?

"Panitumumab is most frequently used to treat patients that have already received oxaliplatin chemotherapy. However, it has also been known to be effective in treating conditions such as previously treated with anti-vegf, sorafenib, and metastatic colorectal cancer (crc)."

Answered by AI

How many test subjects are part of this experiment?

"Unfortunately, this study is not currently enrolling new participants. The original posting was on April 24th, 2020 with the most recent update being October 18th, 2022. If you are seeking other trials, there are presently 4398 trials actively enrolling participants with stage iiia colorectal cancer ajcc v8 and 135 studies for Panitumumab actively looking for participants."

Answered by AI

Is this research project experimental in nature?

"There are 135 ongoing studies involving panitumumab in 37 countries and 545 cities. The first study was conducted in 2011 by Amgen and involved 75 patients. The study completed Phase 2 drug approval and since then, 437 additional studies have been conducted."

Answered by AI

Is there previous research to support the use of Panitumumab?

"There are a total of 135 clinical trials currently underway for panitumumab. Of these, 13 have progressed to Phase 3 testing. Even though the majority of these studies originate from Lakewood, New jersey, there are 2108 locations running trials for this potential treatment."

Answered by AI

Can new patients still join the clinical trial?

"Unfortunately, this study is no longer actively recruiting patients. The clinical trial was first posted on 4/24/2020 and was most recently updated on 10/18/2022. However, there are presently 4398 trials actively enrolling patients with stage iiia colorectal cancer ajcc v8 and 135 trials for Panitumumab that have open enrollment."

Answered by AI

Has Panitumumab been cleared by the FDA?

"Panitumumab's safety is based on data from Phase 2 trials, which means that while there is some evidence supporting its safety, none exists for its efficacy. Consequently, our team gave it a score of 2."
