A Study of EZN-2208 Administered With or Without Cetuximab in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, multiple-arm, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of EZN-2208. EZN-2208 will be administered as a single agent in patients with K-RAS mutations in the tumors. Patients with wild type K-RAS in tumors will be randomized to EZN-2208 + cetuximab or to standard of care (Camptosar® + cetuximab), patients must have failed regimens containing irinotecan (Camptosar®, CPT-11), oxaliplatin (Eloxatin®), and fluoropyrimidine. After discontinuation of study treatment, patients will receive care as considered appropriate by the investigator. Patients will continue to be followed for disease progression, subsequent anticancer therapy, and survival.

Detailed Description
-----------------
EZN-2208 will be administered by i.v. infusion weekly for 3 weeks in 4-week cycles. The cetuximab infusion will be administered before the EZN-2208 (Arm B) or irinotecan (Arm C) infusion. Study treatment will be continued until evidence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of the patient's consent for participation in the study. Approximately 220 patients will be enrolled in this study: approximately 100 patients in the K-RAS mutated arm and approximately 120 patients in the wild-type K-RAS arm.

Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: Patients must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for enrollment in the study. Histologically confirmed CRC adenocarcinoma that is metastatic or locally recurrent CRC that is nonresectable Patients must agree to genetic testing of the original or metastatic CRC tumor biopsy tissue for K-RAS mutational status. Disease progression Previous therapy with irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and fluoropyrimidine either alone or in any combination(s). Patients must have radiographically documented progressive disease while receiving, or within 3 months of receiving, these agents alone or in combination. No more than 2 prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens.

Known chronic infectious disease Major surgery within 3 weeks before study start Known or suspected brain metastases requiring intervention with steroids and/or radiation therapy. Prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, non-investigational agent, or other therapy used to treat the cancer within 3 weeks before the scheduled administration of EZN-2208 History of other primary cancer within 5 years of enrollment, unless Curatively resected non-melanomatous skin cancer, or Curatively resected cervical cancer Lack of recovery to Grade 1 from any reversible side effects related to the administration of an investigational agent, or other prior treatments for the cancer Any condition such as uncontrollable diabetes, uncontrollable hypertension, or active infection. Current participation in another clinical study with an investigational agent and/or use of an investigational drug (not including investigational use of an approved drug) in the 30 days before the first administration of EZN-2208
