Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Labetuzumab in Normal saline for the intervention group (in those patient's who are at higher risk of liver metastases from colon cancer - i.e., have an intact or test positive for the CEA PELPK region)
Dosage: 8mg/kg via an intravenous infusion once a week over a three-week period (three doses in total), commencing 6 weeks after surgical resection.
NB: There are no current strategies planned to be used to monitor adherence (as these aren't available currently)
Risk of liver metastases with be determined for each patient by having their primary tumour tested via genetic sequencing of the CEA PELPK region - If intact; they will be classed as 'higher-risk' and if it is mutant variant then they will be classed as 'lower risk;' - These will occur after primary resection as the resected specimen is required for the test.
There will also be a non-active participant group who are at lower risk of liver metastases - apart from being involved in the trial for the purposes of having their primary resected tumour tissue being sent for CEA PELPK region genetic sequencing (which would have been negative or mutant) they will be purely observed as per the Cancer Council Australia CR guidelines - and will not be further involved in the Labetuzumab vs placebo RCT part of the trial
Intervention code [1] 327466 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Normal saline only for the placebo group (in those patient's who are at higher risk of liver metastases from colon cancer - i.e., have an intact or test positive for the CEA PELPK region)
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 336659 0
Development of metachronous (> 6 months from primary operation) liver metastases related to their primary colon cancer
Timepoint [1] 336659 0
At 1, 3, 6 then 12 months post operatively, then 6 monthly for 2 years and they yearly for 3 years for a total of at least 5 years; in line with the colorectal cancer guidelines from cancer Australia
Secondary outcome [1] 429209 0
Development of metachronous (> 6 months from primary operation) liver metastases related to their primary colon cancer in patients who test negative or have a mutated CEA PELPK region (will be in the non-active participant group)
Timepoint [1] 429209 0
1, 3, 6 and 12 months post operatively, then 6 monthly for 2 years and then yearly for 3 years for a total of at least 5 years

Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Allocation involved contacting the holder of the allocation schedule who was "off-site" or at central administration site
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Permuted block randomisation
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
The people receiving the treatment/s


Intervention assignment
Other
Other design features
Those who have an intact CEA PELPK region (confirmed via genetic sequencing of primary tumour tissue; or when available an immunohistochemistry test) will enter into the RCT side of the trial; Patients who are enrolled but have a mutated CEA PELPK region with be purely observed to see if they develop metachronous liver metastases during their usual follow-up (non-intervention arm)
Phase
Phase 2
Type of endpoint/s
Safety/efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Chi square between intervention and placebo group and those that do or do not go on to develop metachronous liver metastases
