Colon Cancer Rectal Cancer | Biological: Ramucirumab Biological: Icrucumab Drug: mFOLFOX-6 | Phase 2 |
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer when treated with 1 of 3 modified FOLFOX-6 (folinic acid [FA] + fluorouracil [5-FU] + oxaliplatin [mFOLFOX-6])-based regimens, as second-line therapy.
During 2010, there has been an identified shortage of injectable folinic acid (FA) in the United States. Levo-folinic acid (LFA) will be allowed as a substitute for FA in the mFOLFOX-6 chemotherapy regimen in circumstances in which FA is not available, to facilitate continuity of participant care.

- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Baseline until Disease Progression or Death from Any Cause (Up to 95 Weeks) ]PFS is defined as the time from baseline until the date of disease progression as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1), or death from any cause, whichever was first. Participants who die without a reported prior progression will be considered to have progressed on the day of their death. Participants who did not progress, are lost to follow-up, or have missed two or more scheduled tumor assessments will be censored at the day of their last radiographic tumor assessment, if there are no post-baseline tumor measurements for a randomized and treated participant, the participant will be censored at the date of randomization. If death or progressive disease (PD) occurs after 2 or more missing radiographic visits, censoring will occur at the date of the last radiographic visit prior to the last visit.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (Objective Response Rate [ORR]) [ Time Frame: Baseline until Disease Progression (Up to 95 Weeks) ]The ORR is the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR, the disappearance of target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes [target or non-target] taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters in response to treatment) or Partial Response (PR, at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters in response to treatment) according to RECIST v1.1 from the start of the treatment until disease progression.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Baseline Until Death from Any Cause (Up to 163 Weeks) ]Overall survival is defined as the time from baseline to the date of death from any cause. If the participant is alive at the end of the follow-up period or is lost to follow-up, OS will be censored on the last date the participant is known to be alive.
- Duration of Response (DoR) [ Time Frame: Criteria First Met for CR or PR until Disease Progression or Death from Any Cause (Up to 95 Weeks) ]DoR was measured from the time measurement criteria are first met for Complete Response or Partial Response or until the first date that the criteria for disease progression or death from any cause. whichever is first recorded. As defined according to RECIST v1.1, CR is the disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions, and PR is the short axes of any target lymph nodes reduced to < 10 mm and at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions including the short axes of any target lymph nodes.)
- Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Concentration (Cmax) at Cycle 5 [ Time Frame: Cycle 5, 1 Hour Post End of Infusion ]Maximum concentration (1 hour post end of infusion, Cmax) is the concentration measured in serum.
- Pharmacokinetics (PK): Trough Serum Concentrations (Ctrough) at Cycle 5 [ Time Frame: Cycle 5, Prior to Infusion ]Trough (prior to infusion, Ctrough) concentrations measured in serum.
- Maximum Concentration (Cmax) at Day 8 [ Time Frame: Day 8 (cycles 1 and 5) ]Maximum concentration (Cmax) is the maximum peak concentration measured in blood plasma after drug infusion.
- Maximum Concentration (Cmax) at Day 15 [ Time Frame: Day 15 (Cycles 1 and 5) ]Cmax is the maximum peak concentration measured in blood plasma after drug infusion.
- Minimum Concentration (Cmin) at Day 1 [ Time Frame: Day 1 (cycles 1, 5, 9, and 13) ]Cmin is the minimum peak concentration measured in blood plasma after drug infusion.
- Minimum Concentration (Cmin) at Day 4 [ Time Frame: Day 4 (cycles 1 and 5) ]Cmin is the minimum peak concentration measured in blood plasma after drug infusion.
- Minimum Concentration (Cmin) at Day 8 [ Time Frame: Day 8 (cycles 1 and 5) ]Minimum concentration (Cmin) is the minimum peak concentration measured in blood plasma after drug infusion.
- Minimum Concentration (Cmin) at Day 15 [ Time Frame: Day 15 (cycles 1 and 5) ]Minimum concentration (Cmin) is the minimum peak concentration measured in blood plasma after drug infusion.
- Number of Participants With Serum Ramucirumab Antibody Assessment [ Time Frame: 31 Weeks ]A sample will be considered positive for anti-Ramucirumab antibodies if it exhibits a post-baseline antibody level exceeding the normal anti-Ramucirumab antibody level seen in healthy untreated individuals.
- Serum Anti-Icrucumab Antibody Assessment [ Time Frame: 31 Weeks ]A sample will be considered positive for anti-icrucumab antibodies if it exhibits a post-baseline antibody level exceeding the normal anti-icrucumab antibody level seen in healthy untreated individuals.
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 165 weeks ]A summary of serious AEs (SAEs) and all other non-serious AEs regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.
