About
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate equivalence of pharmacokinetic properties, and comparability of safety and immunogenicity parameters of RPH-030 and Vectibix® following a single (first) intravenous administration to patients with mCRC with wild-type RAS genes as 1-line therapy in combination with FOLFIRI. The additional objective is to perform a pilot evaluation of the efficacy of RPH-030 and Vectibix® following a single (first) intravenous administration to patients with mCRC with wild-type RAS genes as 1-line therapy in combination with FOLFIRI.
Full description
This study is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, comparative, phase I study
Treatment with panitumumab in combination with FOLFIRI (de Gramont) within of this study will continue for up to 2 years or disease progression/unacceptable toxicity/patient refusal to continue therapy (in whichever comes first)
The study will include the following periods:
-
Screening period: days -27 to 0 (up to 1 administration of the study therapy)
If a tumor biopsy is required for histological diagnosis verification and testing of KRAS/NRAS, BRAF mutation status, Her2/neu status, and MSI status, the screening period may be extended up to 42 days
-
Main period: days 1 to 182
Eligible patients will be randomized at the ratio of 1:1 to one of the two study arms: RPH-030 and Vectibix®. During the Main Period of the study, patients will receive panitumumab (RPH-030 or Vectibix®) at a dose of 6 mg/kg intravenously (IV) once every 2 weeks (2 weeks = 1 cycle) in combination with FOLFIRI (after 8 cycles, patients will be switched to the de Gramont regimen)
Therapy during the Main Study Period will continue until the earliest of the following:
- Completion of 6 months (up to 13 cycles inclusive)
- Disease progression (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria or clinical progression)
- Development of unacceptable toxicity
- Patient's withdrawal of consent to continue treatment
Tumor response assessment during the Main Study Period will be performed approximately every 6 weeks
Patients will be hospitalized at least twice: at Visit 1 (Day 1) and Visit 3 (Day 29) either before drug administration or on the eve of it; the duration of hospitalization will be at least 24 hours from the start of panitumumab infusion
-
Period of continued therapy: days 183 to 365
During the period of continued therapy, all patients will receive RPH-030 therapy, including those patients who received Vectibix® therapy during the Main Period
Therapy during this period will continue until the earliest of the following:
- Up to 1 year of therapy
- Disease progression (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria or clinical progression)
- Development of unacceptable toxicity
- Patient's withdrawal of consent to continue treatment
Assessment of the tumor response to therapy during the period of continued therapy will be performed approximately once every 8 weeks
-
Treatment Extension Period: days 366 to 729
Participants in the Treatment Extension Period will be patients who demonstrate stable disease (SD) or tumor response after 1 year of therapy. The decision to enter this period will be made by the investigator
Therapy during the Treatment Extension Period will continue until the earliest of the following:
- For a total duration of up to 2 years
- Disease progression (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria or clinical progression)
- Development of unacceptable toxicity
- Patient's withdrawal of consent to continue treatment
-
Follow-up period (follow-up/FU)
For patients who complete the Treatment Extension Period (either as scheduled or prematurely), a Follow-up visit will be scheduled 28 ± 3 days after the last dose of panitumumab. Following this visit, the patient's participation in the study will be considered complete
Follow-up (FU) visits will be conducted every 8 weeks (±7 days) until Day 365, death, or withdrawal of consent (whichever occurs first):
- For patients who discontinue study therapy due to disease progression or start a new line of treatment (including surgery), FU will be conducted via telephone contact with the patient or relatives to collect overall survival data
- For patients who discontinue study therapy for reasons other than progression and have not started new treatment, FU will include CT/MRI assessments until disease progression, initiation of new therapy, or Day 365. Once progression occurs or new therapy starts, these patients will switch to telephone survival follow-up

Inclusion criteria
- A voluntarily signed and dated Informed Consent form (ICF) of the patient

- Agreement of patients of childbearing potential to remain abstinent from heterosexual intercourse or use highly effective methods of contraception starting from the date of signing the ICF, throughout the treatment period, and for 6 months after the last dose of FOLFIRI and 2 months after the last infusion of panitumumab. Female participants are considered not of childbearing potential if they have experienced permanent cessation of menstruation (self-reported) established retrospectively after 12 months of natural amenorrhea with appropriate clinical status, such as age (range 45-55 years)
