NCT01545141

Brief Summary

Determine the safety of a combination of IFN, celecoxib, and rintatolimod for patients with recurrent colorectal cancer. This will also test whether the above combination can help the immune system to fight the tumors. The results will allow the investigators to determine the "preferred" combination for subsequent extended studies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the Number of Tumor-infiltrating CD8+ Cells.

    This will be assessed by the increase in the total number of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells in the resected, recurrent CRC lesions (measured as the ratio between the CD8 mRNA message and the expression of the housekeeping gene HPRT), comparing Arm A and Arm B.

    Day of surgery: day 8-10

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Treatment Related Adverse Events

    1 week

Study Arms (4)

Surgery only

NO INTERVENTION

Surgical resection only, performed as standard of care for the disease

Chemokin Modulatory Regimen (5 MU/m2)

EXPERIMENTAL

Chemokine Modulatory Regimen monday through Friday prior to surgery: 400 mg celecoxib for 5 days IFN by intravenous infusion (IV) (Phase 1 dose escalation of 5 MU/m2) for 5 days Rintatolimod 200 mg by IV infusion for 5 days

Drug: Chemokin Modulatory Regimen (5 MU/m2)

Drug: Chemokin Modulatory Regimen (10 MU/m2)

Chemokin Modulatory Regimen (20 MU/m2)

EXPERIMENTAL

Drug: Chemokin Modulatory Regimen (20 MU/m2)

Interventions

Celecoxib: 200 mg twice/day M-F of the week prior to scheduled surgery rintatolimod: 200 mg i.v. administration M-F of the week prior to scheduled surgery IFN: i.v. administration, M-F of the week prior to scheduled surgery. Dose escalation evaluating 5, 10, and 20 MU/m2.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with isolated hepatic metastasis must satisfy a Clinical Risk Score of 3 or higher (see Appendix C)
  • Eligible patients are expected to have a complete resection based on preoperative imaging. Any patient not found to be able to have complete resection will not be eligible for this study.
  • No chemotherapy, radiotherapy, major surgery, or biologic therapy within 3 weeks of protocol treatment
  • An ECOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2.
  • Age equal to 18 years or older.
  • Must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • Platelet ≥ 75,000/µL
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL
  • Hematocrit ≥ 27.0%
  • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1500/µL
  • Creatinine \< institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) OR
  • Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels greater than ULN
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • AST(SGOT) and ALT(SGPT) ≤ 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Serum amylase and lipase within normal limits.
  • +1 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients currently treated with systemic immunosuppressive agents, including steroids, are ineligible until 3 weeks after removal from immunosuppressive treatment.
  • Patients with active autoimmune disease or history of transplantation.
  • Patients who are pregnant or nursing. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) will have to undergo a urine pregnancy test as part of screening.
  • Patients with comorbid medical conditions that render them unfit for surgery.
  • Metastatic or recurrent disease that is deemed partially resectable or unresectable based on preoperative imaging.
  • Metastatic disease outside the confines of the abdomen, pelvis and thorax (e.g bone, brain)
  • Cardiac risk factors including:
  • Patients experiencing cardiac event(s) (acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, or ischemia) within 3 months of signing consent
  • Patients with a New York Heart Association classification of III or IV (Appendix A)
  • History of upper gastrointestinal ulceration, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, or upper gastrointestinal perforation within the past 3 years. Patients with ulceration, bleeding or perforation in the lower bowel are not excluded.
  • Prior allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to sulfonamides, celecoxib, or NSAIDs.
  • Patients are ineligible if they plan on regular use of NSAIDs at any dose more than 2 times per week (on average) or aspirin at more than 325 mg at least three times per week, on average. Low-dose aspirin not exceeding 100 mg/day is permitted. Patients who agree to stop regular NSAIDs or higher dose aspirin are eligible and no wash out period is required.
