Phase II study investigating the safety, tolerability and effect on disease reccurence of Foxy-5 as neo-adjuvant therapy in resected colon cancer patients treated with FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen. It is a two-arm study and patients will be randomised to receive either standard therapy (surgery + FOLFOX 6 months regimen) or standard therapy + neo-adjuvant administration of Foxy-5 prior to- and following surgery (maximum of 39 administrations) until initiation of FOLFOX therapy.
Foxy-5 is a synthetic hexapeptide with a formylated N-terminus, derived from the protein sequence of the Wnt-5a protein. Low/no expression levels of Wnt-5 protein in primary tumour cells have been correlated to high risk of recurrent metastatic disease and shortened survival in several different types of cancer patients, including colon cancer.
Current standard therapy involves surgical removal of the tumour followed by 6 months treatment with chemotherapy (FOLFOX). Foxy-5 is expected to decrease migration of cancer cells, in subjects with low/absent levels of Wnt-5a protein in their primary tumour and hence result in lower recurrence and a better overall survival. The trial intends to establish the safety and tolerability of Foxy-5 and to evaluate early signs of anti-metastatic activity in subjects with resectable colon cancer.

Started Apr 2019 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2024, 68 months after the start.
Of 84 phase 2 interventional studies under Colonic Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 43 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 29 and three quarters within 62. This study's planned 68 months is above that.
