Brief Summary:
This is an open-label, randomized, controlled, multicenter, phase III study with two parallel arms. Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer after definite interventional therapy of all lesions are randomized in a 2:1 fashion (favoring active therapy) to investigate the efficacy, patient reported quality of life and safety of mFOLFOXIRI/mFOLFOX-6 as additive treatment (Arm A) versus active follow-up/surveillance (Arm B).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Colorectal Cancer Drug: mFOLFOX6 Drug: mFOLFOXIRI Phase 3

Detailed Description:

The trial will consist of both a clinical and translational part. During the study, re-assessments (radiologic assessment, blood and QoL) will be conducted for all trial subject of the trial every 3 months. Tumor biopsies will be collected at screening (baseline sample) and in case of relapse of disease if a new tumor sample is obtained.

The objective of the re-assessments is detection of relapse either radiologically or within the translational material (blood samples with ctDNA dynamics and tumor - if available from relapses). CT scans of thorax/abdomen and/or MRI scans will be performed every 3 months within the 2 years after randomization. After the first two relapse-free years, intervals should be stretched to 6 months in the third and following years after study start. Structured follow-up for up to 60 months after randomization should be maintained for both arms.

Patients in Arm A receive additive study drug intervention (mFOLFOXIRI or mFOLFOX-6) for up to six months (12 cycles) after randomization with additional clinical and safety assessments.

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient's signed informed consent.
  2. Patient's age ≥18 years at the time of signing the informed consent.
  3. Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum.
  4. Resected (R0 or R1) and/or effectively treated metastases (all techniques allowed) of colorectal cancer within 3-10 weeks before randomization (earlier randomisation allowed if at least 3 weeks interval between intervention and treatment start is guaranteed) AND resected primary tumor (synchronous or metachronous). In cases of synchronous metastases the interval of 3-10 weeks might be calculated following the removal of the primary tumor if this intervention was the last to address all tumor lesions.
  5. Absence of significant active wound healing complications (if applicable) at randomization. Resolved wound healing complications after resection/ablation are acceptable for inclusion into the trial.
  6. No radiographic evidence of active metastatic disease at study entry in a CT and/or MRI scan not older than 10 weeks prior randomization. Pre-surgery/ablation images are eligible for the study if all lesions have been addressed in the interval

A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is post-menarcheal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus). Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male partner's sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices.

For men: With female partners of childbearing potential, men must remain abstinent or use a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that together result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period.
