Brief Summary:
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying maintenance therapy with bevacizumab alone after an induction therapy combining bevacizumab+chemotherapy to see how well they work compared to maintenance therapy with bevacizumab+erlotinib alone after an induction therapy combining bevacizumab+chemotherapy in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Colorectal Cancer Drug: bevacizumab Drug: bevacizumab, erlotinib Phase 3

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare Progression-free survival during maintenance period ("Maintenance PFS")in patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer.

Secondary

  • Compare the duration of disease control and overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the tolerability of these regimens in these patients.
  • Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the occurrence of secondary surgery in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the chemotherapy-free intervals and response rates in patients treated with these regimens.

INDUCTION THERAPY

Bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1, combined with either:

  • modified FOLFOX7 (IV : oxaliplatin, folinic acid, fluorouracil),
  • XELOX2 (IV : oxaliplatin, oral capecitabine day 1 to 8),
  • FOLFIRI (IV : irinotecan, folinic acid, fluorouracil).

Treatment repeats every 2 weeks.

RANDOMIZATION Patients with stable or responding disease then receive maintenance therapy with bevacizumab alone or bevacizumab+erlotinib

MAINTENANCE THERAPY

  • Arm A : bevacizumab alone : bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1
  • Arm B : bevacizumab+erlotinib : bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1 and oral erlotinib once daily on days 1-21.

In both arms, treatment with bevacizumab +/- erlotinib repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ACCRUAL: A total of 700 patients will be accrued for this study.
