Interventions
30 minute IV infusion (400mg) every two weeks with an additional loading dose in the first cycle of treatment
90-min IV infusion of irinotecan, leucovorin, and fluorouracil followed by a continuous 46-hour infusion of fluorouracil every two weeks
2 hour IV infusion of oxaliplatin, folinic acid, and fluorouracil followed by a continuous 46-hour infusion of fluorouracil every two weeks
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients meeting all of the following criteria will be considered eligible for study entry:
You may not qualify if:
- Patients may have received prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy which could have included irinotecan or oxaliplatin. If progression has occurred within 12 months from last dose of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment, this regimen will be considered as the one line of systemic therapy for advanced disease.
- If assigned to receive FOLFIRI, patient may have received no prior irinotecan as part of first-line systemic therapy.
- If assigned to receive FOLFOX, patient may have received no prior oxaliplatin as part of first line systemic therapy.
- Prior treatment with an anti-VEGF or anti-EGFR therapy is allowed as first-line and/or maintenance systemic therapy.
- Able to provide written informed consent for any study specific procedures.
- One or more tumors measurable on radiographic imaging as defined by RECIST 1.1
- Sufficient tumor tissue for mandatory pre-treatment evaluation (fresh biopsy \[preferred\], or archived tissue block specimen).
- ECOG performance status ≤1 within 7 days of first dose of study drug. Acceptable liver, renal, hematologic, and coagulation function
- Females of childbearing potential and male partners of female patients must agree to use adequate contraception during the study and for 6 months after their last dose of study drug
- Patients meeting any of the following criteria are not eligible for study entry:
- Diagnosis of Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)/mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) and/or BRAF V600E mutation positive colorectal cancer.
- Prior therapy with an anti-DKK1, FOLFOXIRI, PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L-2 or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or coinhibitory checkpoint.
- Systemic anti-cancer therapy within 28 days prior to first dose of study drug.
- Major surgery within 28 days prior to first dose of study drug.
- Prior radiation therapy within 14 days prior to first dose of study drug.
- +15 more criteria
