Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is better to receive a new drug, BBI608, or better to receive no further treatment for colon or rectal cancer. To do this, half of the patients in this study will get BBI608 and the other half will receive a placebo (a substance that is designed not to do anything).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Colorectal Carcinoma Drug: BBI608 Drug: Placebo Other: Best Supportive Care Phase 3

Detailed Description:

This research is being done because currently there are no approved remaining effective treatments for colon or rectal cancer.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on colon cancer of a new drug, BBI608, and best supportive care (BSC) compared to BSC alone.

BBI608 has been shown to shrink tumours in animals and has been studied in a few people and seems promising, but it is not clear if it can offer better results than the usual care which is best supportive care alone.

The standard or usual treatment for this disease is treatment with drugs and other treatments that may help to make a patient feel better or may improve their quality of life. This treatment is known as "best supportive care" (BSC). Although patients with best supportive care can feel better for some months, the cancer usually continues to grow.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 36 month ]
    Time from the day of randomization to death. For alive patients, overall survival was censored at the last day the patient was known alive (LKA).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: 36 months ]
    Defined as the time from randomization to the first objective documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause.

  2. Disease Control Rate [ Time Frame: 36 months ]
    Proportion of all randomized patients with a documented complete response (CR) defined as disappearance of all target lesions, partial response (PR) defined as >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, and stable disease (SD) defined as <30% decrease but also <20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions without new lesions per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) 1.1 for target lesion.

  3. Number of Patients With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 36 months ]
    Number of patients with at least one adverse event as assessed by NCI CTCAE Version 3.0 criteria.

  4. Change of Global Quality of Life at 8 Weeks From Baseline [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
    Change scores from baseline at time 2 (8 weeks) from baseline for the global health status/quality of life scale scores (between 0 and 100 with higher value indicating better quality of life) as derived from responses of patients to the EORTC (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer) quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-C30).

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically confirmed advanced colorectal cancer that is unresectable.
  • Received a prior thymidylate synthase inhibitor (e.g. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), capecitabine, raltitrexed, UFT) for metastatic disease or as adjuvant therapy.
  • Received and failed an irinotecan containing regimen (i.e. single-agent or in combination) for treatment of metastatic disease, OR relapsed within 6 months of completion of an irinotecan-containing adjuvant therapy, OR have documented unsuitability for an irinotecan-containing regimen.
  • Received and failed an oxaliplatin-containing regimen for treatment of metastatic disease, OR relapsed within 6 months of completion of an oxaliplatin-containing adjuvant therapy OR have documented unsuitability for an oxaliplatin-containing regimen.
  • For patients with colorectal cancer that is K-ras wild type: Received and failed a cetuximab or panitumumab-containing regimen (i.e. single-agent or in combination) for treatment of metastatic disease OR have documented unsuitability for a cetuximab or panitumumab-containing regimen
  • The only remaining standard available therapy as recommended by the Investigator is best supportive care.
  • Must have presence of measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1).
  • Imaging investigations including CT/MRI of chest/abdomen/pelvis or other scans as necessary to document all sites of disease done within 14 days prior to randomization.
  • Must have an ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1.
  • Must be ≥ 18 years of age.
  • For male or female patient of child producing potential: Must agree to use contraception or take measures to avoid pregnancy during the study and for 30 days after the last Protocol treatment dose.
  • Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to randomization.
  • Must have alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 3 × institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) [≤ 5 × ULN in presence of liver metastases] within 14 days prior to randomization.
  • Must have hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 80 g/L within 14 days prior to randomization.
  • Must have total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × institutional ULN [≤ 2.0 x ULN in presence of liver metastases] within 14 days prior to randomization.
  • Must have creatinine ≤ 1.5 × institutional ULN or Creatinine Clearance > 50 ml/min within 14 days prior to randomization.
  • Must have absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 109/L within 14 days prior to randomization.
  • Must have platelet count ≥ 75 x 109/L within 14 days prior to randomization.
  • Other biochemistry which must be done within 14 days prior to randomization includes lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase.
  • Patient must consent to provision of, and investigator(s) must confirm access to and agree to submit at the request of the NCIC CTG Central Tumour Bank, a representative formalin fixed paraffin block of tumour tissue in order that the specific correlative marker assays may be conducted.
