A Phase 2 interventional study of Vinorelbine Tartrate in Colon Cancer, sponsored by The Netherlands Cancer Institute. Completed at 1 site in Netherlands. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-08-03.

Vecchione et al showed that suppression of RANBP2 results in mitotic defects only in BRAF-like colon cancer (CC) cells, which leads to cell death. Mechanistically, RANBP2 silencing reduces microtubule outgrowth from the kinetochores, thereby inducing spindle perturbations, providing an explanation for the observed mitotic defects. Vinorelbine mimics RANPB2 silencing in BRAF-like and BRAFV600E CC cell lines.
These preclinical data represent a strong rationale to also explore the anti-tumor activity of vinorelbine in patients with advanced BRAF-like (both BRAFm and BRAF wild type) CC. Tumors having this gene signature are referred to as "BRAF-like" and have a similar poor prognosis irrespective of the presence of BRAF(V600E) mutation. Since vinorelbine is standard of care in advanced breast and NSCLC, there is ample experience with the dose and schedule as well as with the safety profile and supportive measures required to prevent side-effects.
Minimal acceptable safety laboratory values:
Exclusion Criteria:
10. Patients who have undergone any major surgery within the last 2 weeks prior to starting study drug or who would not have fully recovered from previous surgery 11. Uncontrolled infectious disease or known Human Immunodeficiency Virus HIV-1 or HIV-2 type patients 12. Patients with a known history of hepatitis B or C 13. Patients with cardiac comorbidities (myocardial infarct within 6 months of study start, NYHA class ≥ III, congestive heart failure or instable angina pectoris), uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 150 mm Hg and/or diastolic pressure > 90 mm Hg) or prolonged QT-interval (> 440 ms for men, > 460 ms for women) 14. Other severe, acute, or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration or that may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for the study 15. Known hypersensitivity to study drug or excipients
Patients with KRAS mutant and BRAF wildtype colon cancer that met the BRAF-like signature according to the validated test of Agendia will be treated with vinorelbine tartrate.
Drug: Vinorelbine Tartrate
Patients with KRAS wildtype and BRAF mutant colon cancer that met the BRAF-like signature according to the validated test of Agendia will be treated with vinorelbine tartrate.
Drug: Vinorelbine Tartrate
Intravenous administration of vinorelbine on day 1 and day 8 in a dose of 30 mg/m2. One treatment cycle is 21 days.
Also known as: Navelbine, Vinorelbine
Doubling of progression free survival
This means that by vinorelbine treatment the rate of progression drops to 25%.
