Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the antitumor efficacy of SU011248 in patients with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma who failed prior treatment with irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and a fluoropyrimidine with or without bevacizumab.

Secondary

  1. Determine the onset and duration of tumor control and 1-year survival rate in patients treated with this drug.
  2. Determine the safety of this drug in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma not amenable to surgery, radiotherapy, or combined modality therapy with curative intent


  • Must have received prior irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and a fluoropyrimidine in the adjuvant and/or advanced disease setting with or without bevacizumab (in the advanced disease setting) AND developed resistance to these prior therapies, as defined by one of the following:
    • Irinotecan-, oxaliplatin-, or fluoropyrimidine-resistant disease, defined as relapse or progression during treatment OR within 6 months after completing the most recent regimen
    • Bevacizumab-resistant disease, defined as disease progression during treatment OR within 6 months after completing bevacizumab


  • At least one unidimensionally measurable lesion at least 20 mm by conventional radiographic techniques or MRI OR at least 10-16 mm by spiral CT scan
    • The following lesions are not considered measurable:
      • Bone lesions
      • Ascites
      • Peritoneal carcinomatosis or miliary lesions
      • Pleural or pericardial effusions
      • Lymphangitis of the skin or lung
      • Cystic lesions
      • Irradiated lesions
      • Disease documented by indirect evidence only (e.g., by laboratory test, such as alkaline phosphatase)


  • No known brain or leptomeningeal disease


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Biologic therapy

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • At least 3 weeks since prior immunotherapy and recovered
  • No prior vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors (except bevacizumab)
  • No concurrent biological response modifiers
  • No concurrent immunotherapy

Chemotherapy

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • At least 3 weeks since prior chemotherapy
  • No more than 3 prior systemic chemotherapy-based regimens for advanced disease
  • Prior chemoembolization therapy allowed provided areas of measurable disease are not affected
  • No concurrent chemotherapy

Endocrine therapy

  • No concurrent hormonal therapy

Radiotherapy

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • At least 3 weeks since prior radiotherapy and recovered
    • Areas of measurable disease must not be affected
  • No concurrent radiotherapy to the sole site(s) of measurable disease
    • Concurrent palliative radiotherapy allowed provided the measurable lesions (study target lesions) are not included in the irradiated field

Surgery

  • Recovered from prior surgery
  • Prior surgery allowed provided areas of measurable disease are not affected
  • More than 12 months since prior coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft
  • No concurrent surgery in the sole site(s) of measurable disease

Other

  • Prior intrahepatic therapy or cryotherapy allowed provided areas of measurable disease are not affected
  • No prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors (except bevacizumab)
  • No other concurrent anticancer treatment
  • No other concurrent investigational drugs
  • No concurrent participation in another clinical trial

  • Amylase and lipase ≤ ULN
  • Adrenocorticotrophic hormone stimulation test normal
  • No known HIV infection
  • No AIDS-related illness
  • No other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that would preclude study participation
  • No other malignancy within the past 5 years except adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix

Expected Enrollment

A total of 76-126 patients (38-63 per stratum) will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is an open-label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior bevacizumab (yes vs no).

Patients receive oral SU011248 once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 42 days for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed at 30 days and then every 2 months for 1 year.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
