Study summary

This is a clinical prospective, no-Profit, Interventional, Premarket Medical Device "early phase", multicentre, single-arm study, based on collecting data on predictive biomarkers of mCRC patients, integrate them with the results of the retrospective evaluation of outcomes and profiles of historical mCRC patients previously treated in the Oncology Units, in order to evaluate the efficacy of the best administered treatment. Results from the retrospective evaluation, will serve to build an AI-based profile capable to identify "good" or "poor" responders to therapy and to support the clinician towards the best treatment option. AI is a software based on algorithm defined as Medical Device Class IIa.

This is a clinical prospective, no-Profit, Interventional, Premarket Medical Device "early phase", multicentre, single-arm study, based on collecting data on predictive biomarkers of mCRC patients, integrate them with the results of the retrospective evaluation of outcomes and profiles of historical mCRC patients previously treated in the Oncology Units, in order to evaluate the efficacy of the best administered treatment. Results from the retrospective evaluation, will serve to build an AI-based profile capable to identify "good" or "poor" responders to therapy and to support the clinician towards the best treatment option. Following the first disease progression (PD), 2nd line therapy will be at Investigator's choice. The drugs under investigation are those commonly employed in mCRC patients as per usual standard of care. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a software based on algorithm defined as Medical Device Class IIa.

The REVERT clinical trial is study, inserted within a wider European Project. The clinical study will take advantage of the results of the retrospective evaluation of mCRC patients' outcomes and profiles, aimed at evaluate the efficacy of treatment strategies, that will performed during the early activities of the European Project. In such retrospective analysis AI and Machine Learning (ML) will be instructed and used to derive predictive clinical data, after having analysed all possible variables including known mutational, biochemical and clinical features of samples from mCRC patients historically treated in the Oncology Units participating to the project and stored in partner Biobanks. AI and ML methodologies are based on Support Vector Machines and combine Multiple Kernel Learning and Random Optimization, incorporating already available large databases with new, potential prognostic/predictive biomarkers (e.g., gene mutations, epigenetic changes, gene expression profiling signatures). The emerging results will be used to help the choice of the best combinatorial therapy, for every prospectively enrolled mCRC patient. Sex and gender differences, also according to sidedness, will be analysed to evaluate their impact on survival and quality of life (QoL) in patients with mCRC.

Study length is planned to be about 24 months (12 months recruitment + 12 months of follow-up). The end of study is defined as the time when all enrolled patients will have experienced evidence of disease progression or will be out of treatment as per protocol, toxicity, medical decision or patient's withdrawal.

  8. Recurrence of disease after primary radical surgery and adjuvant therapy carried out > 6 months prior the present trial.
  9. Evidence of measurable or evaluable non-measurable disease as per RECIST, v1.1
  10. ECOG PS of 0 or 1.
  11. Adequate bone marrow function characterized by the following at screening:

    1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10\^9/L;
    2. Platelets ≥ 100 × 10\^9/L;
    3. Haemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL.
  12. Adequate renal function characterized by serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min.
  13. Adequate hepatic function characterized by the following:

    1. Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN and \< 2 mg/dL;
    2. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN, or ≤ 5 ×ULN in presence of liver metastases.
  14. Female patients are either postmenopausal for at least 1 year, surgically sterile for at least 6 weeks, or must agree to take appropriate precautions to avoid pregnancy.
  15. Males must agree to take appropriate precautions to avoid fathering a child from screening through follow-up.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior hypersensitivity or toxicity to chemotherapy drugs suggesting an inability to tolerate the proposed treatment.
  2. Patients should not be candidate for upfront resection of metastatic disease.
  3. Symptomatic brain metastasis.
  4. Leptomeningeal disease.
  5. Known history of acute or chronic pancreatitis.
  6. History of chronic inflammatory bowel disease or Crohn's disease requiring medical intervention (immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive medications or surgery).
  7. Impaired cardiovascular function or clinically significant cardiovascular diseases.
  8. Uncontrolled hypertension defined as persistent elevation of systolic blood pressure ≥ 150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg despite current therapy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression Free Survival (PFS), including PFS1 and PFS2, defined as the time from enrolment to the first documentation of objective disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall survival (OS)

    The time from enrolment to the date of death due to any cause. For patients still alive at the time of analysis, the OS time will be censored on the last date the patients were known to be alive.

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Response Rate (RR)

    The percentage of patients, relative to the total of enrolled subjects, achieving a complete (CR) or partial (PR) response, according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, during the phases of treatment.

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Early Tumour Shrinkage (ETS)

    As the percentage of patients, relative to the total of the enrolled subjects, achieving a \>20% decrease in the sum of diameters of RECIST target lesions.

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  4. Quality of Life (QoL)

    measured using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
