Brief Summary:

This is a randomized, open-label, dose/schedule optimization study comparing NUC-3373/leucovorin (LV)/irinotecan plus bevacizumab (NUFIRI-bev) to 5-FU/LV/irinotecan plus bevacizumab (FOLFIRI-bev) for the treatment of patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer.

A total of 171 patients will be randomized 1:1:1 to either NUFIRI-bev on a weekly NUC-3373 schedule, NUFIRI-bev based on an alternate weekly NUC-3373 schedule, or FOLFIRI bev on an alternate weekly schedule. The main objectives are to assess and compare the efficacy and safety of the 3 regimens. Pharmacokinetics will be assessed on the 2 NUFIRI arms.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Provision of written informed consent.
  2. Histological or cytological confirmation of colorectal adenocarcinoma (excluding appendiceal and anal canal cancers, as well as signet-ring cell carcinoma) that is unresectable and metastatic.
  3. Measurable disease (as defined by RECIST v1.1).
  4. Received ≥2 months of a first-line fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin-containing regimen for metastatic disease or relapsed within 6 months of completing a fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin-containing neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy. Previous treatment with standard of care chemotherapy regimens in combination with molecular targeted therapies (e.g., VEGF and EGFR pathway inhibitors and immuno-oncology agents) is permitted. Previous treatment with maintenance therapy (e.g., capecitabine) is also allowed. Patients who started on a fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin-containing regimen in any setting but must discontinue the oxaliplatin due to.toxicity or allergy (and are now unable to receive oxaliplatin) are considered eligible regardless of the number of cycles of oxaliplatin they received.
  5. Known RAS and BRAF status. Patients with wild-type RAS tumours must have received prior treatment with an EGFR inhibitor, unless this was not standard of care according to relevant region-specific treatment recommendations.
  6. Known UGT1A1 status, or patient consents to UGT1A1 status testing if unknown.
  7. Known DPD activity status, or patient consents to DPD status testing if unknown. See exclusion criterion 1.
  8. Age ≥18 years.
  9. Minimum life expectancy of ≥12 weeks.
  10. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status 0 or 1.
  11. Adequate bone marrow function as defined by: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 × 109/L, platelet count ≥100 × 109/L, and haemoglobin ≥9 g/dL. Patients with benign neutropenia may be discussed on a case-by-case basis with the medical monitor.
  12. Adequate liver function, as defined by: serum total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN), AST and ALT ≤2.5 × ULN (or ≤5 × ULN if liver metastases are present).
  13. Adequate renal function assessed as serum creatinine <1.5 × ULN and glomerular filtration rate ≥50 mL/min (calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault method).
  14. Serum albumin ≥3 g/dL.
  15. Ability to comply with protocol requirements.
  16. Female patients of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first study drug administration. This criterion does not apply to patients who have had a previous hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy. Male patients and female patients of child-bearing potential must agree to practice true abstinence (defined in Section 10.3.1) or to use two forms of contraception, one of which must be highly effective. These forms of contraception must be used from the time of signing consent, throughout the treatment period, and for 6 months following the last dose of any study medication. Oral or injectable contraceptive agents cannot be the sole method of contraception
  17. Patients must have been advised to take measures to avoid or minimize exposure of the skin and eyes to UV light, including avoiding sunbathing and solarium use, for the duration of study participation and for a period of 4 weeks following the last dose of study medication

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of hypersensitivity or current contra-indications to 5-FU, FUDR, or capecitabine.
  2. History of hypersensitivity or current contra-indication to any of the combination agents required for the study.
  3. History of allergic reactions attributed to components of the NUC-3373 drug product formulation.

Chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiotherapy (other than a short cycle of palliative radiotherapy [e.g., for bone pain]*), immunotherapy, biological agents, or exposure to another investigational agent within 21 days (or four times the half-life for molecular targeted agents, whichever is shorter) of first administration of study treatment:
  11. Residual toxicities from prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy which have not regressed to Grade ≤1 severity (CTCAE v5.0), except for alopecia and residual Grade 2 neuropathy.
  12. History of other malignancies, except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in situ cancer of the cervix, surgically excised or potentially curatively treated ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast, or low-grade prostate cancer or patients after prostatectomy. Patients with previous invasive cancers are eligible if treatment was completed >3 years prior to initiating the current study treatment, and the patient has had no evidence or recurrence since then.

Patients who have not received bevacizumab by C2D1 must be replaced.
  18. Unhealed wound, active gastric or duodenal ulcer, or bone fracture.
  19. Serious thromboembolic event in the 6 months before inclusion.
  20. Patients with a history of haemorrhage within 6 months prior to enrolment.
