A Randomized Phase III Study of Anlotinib Versus Bevacizumab in Combination With CAPEOX as First-Line Therapy for RAS/BRAF Wild-Type Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Clinical Trial Protocol
Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment(2023)
摘要
Background: Chemotherapy combined with antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or anti-epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies is the most promising approach to prolong survival and improve the quality of life of patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Anlotinib is an oral antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets VEGF receptors 1/2/3, fibroblast growth factor receptors 1-4, and platelet-derived growth factor receptors a/beta. Since anlotinib combined with oxaliplatin and capecitabine (CAPEOX) as a first-line treatment was previously shown to be effective and safe for patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type (WT) mCRC, we designed this randomized, open-label, parallel-group, non-inferiority, phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib plus CAPEOX versus bevacizumab plus CAPEOX in patients with RAS/BRAF WT mCRC. Methods/design: The primary inclusion criteria are Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0/1, confirmed RAS/BRAF WT colorectal adenocarcinoma, and unresectable metastases assessed by a multidisciplinary team. The main exclusion criteria are as follows: high microsatellite instability or deficient mismatch repair status, resectable or potentially resectable metastases, and previous systemic therapy for mCRC. A total of 698 patients will be randomized into the anlotinib and bevacizumab groups in a 1:1 ratio. Patients will receive 4 to 8 cycles of induction therapy (CAPEOX plus anlotinib or bevacizumab), followed by maintenance treatment (capecitabine plus anlotinib or bevacizumab) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by an independent review committee is the primary endpoint, whereas investigator-assessed PFS, overall survival, objective response rate, disease control rate, duration of response, resection rate of liver metastases, quality of life, and safety are the secondary endpoints. Enrollment commenced in May 2021. Discussion: A prospective, randomized, phase III trial will provide a meaningful comparison of the efficacy and safety of anlotinib plus CAPEOX with standard treatment for patients with unresectable RAS/BRAF WT mCRC.
