About
COSENSE-1 is an unblinded, phase II, single-armed, single center feasibility study for using a functional precision medicine platform to select oxaliplatin-based versus irinotecan-based chemotherapy regimens, for male and female participants aged 18 and older, with microsatellite stable (MSS)/proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), that is incurable or not resectable with curative intent.
Full description
Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to test the feasibility of using a functional precision medicine platform to select oxaliplatin-based versus irinotecan-based chemotherapy regimens for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Secondary objectives are to describe the tumour response to treatment using efficacy measures and assess the progression-free survival and the overall survival, and assess the toxicity experienced by the participants. Exploratory objectives include basal research on tumouroids and optimisation of the functional assay to be compatible with clinical practice.
Primary endpoints: The primary endpoints are assessing feasibility:
Secondary endpoints: Secondary endpoints include efficacy in the form of Response Rates (RR) graded and measured using RECIST v1.1, including Objective Response Rate (ORR), Disease Control Rate (DCR) and Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR), as well as Duration of Response (DoR), Progression Free Survival (PFS), Progression Free Survival Rate at 6 months (PFSR) and Overall Survival (OS). Toxicity will be graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v.5.0).
Trial design and patient population: COSENSE-1 is an unblinded, phase II, single-armed, single-center, consent-based feasibility study for using a functional precision medicine platform to select oxaliplatin-based versus irinotecan-based chemotherapy regimens, for male and female participants aged 18 and older, with microsatellite stable (MSS)/proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) that is incurable or not resectable with curative intent. Participants can proceed to the treatment cohort of the trial if standard of care treatment can be allocated within the timeframes given by the Norwegian national recommendations for the treatment of colorectal cancer. The study duration will be up to 36 months for each participant with treatment duration up to 6 months, and the study visit frequency will be one per participant.

Number of participants:
Approximately 148 patients will be screened to achieve:
Intervention: Oxaliplatin-based or irinotecan-based chemotherapy regimen based on patient-derived tumouroids as guide for clinical decision.
Ethical considerations:
For over two decades, both type of chemotherapy regimens (oxaliplatin-based and irinotecan-based) have been considered equal first-line treatment regimens for this patient group. In clinical practice as of today, no biomarkers are available to guide whether oxaliplatin-based or irinotecan-based chemotherapy will be most effective in treating the individuals' cancer disease. Therefore, treatment typically begins with either regimen, often influenced by local traditions or practices. Furthermore, effectiveness of the chosen regimen is monitored clinically and radiologically, and if efficacy is insufficient or toxicities are intolerable, patients are switched to the alternative regimen after 2-3 months. These months are significant for patients with already limited life expectancy. The COSENSE-1 trial offers a more rational approach by providing the most promising chemotherapy regimen upfront. The prerequisites for COSENSE-1, discards the risk of being allocated to inferior treatment compared to clinical practice, and assures similar time frames, safety and toxicity profiles as in clinical practice.
