NCT01791309 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test a new drug combination consisting of two drugs, vemurafenib (also known as ZelborafTM) and panitumumab (also known as VectibixTM). This treatment is being tested in a subgroup of patients with colorectal cancer whose tumors have changes in the BRAF gene that may make them more likely to respond to this new drug combination.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

combination panitumumab and vemurafenib

Treatment will consist of panitumumab 6mg/kg IV every 14 days and vemurafenib 960mg orally twice daily. In patients who initially respond to treatment and later progress, a voluntary biopsy will be requested at the time of relapse to study mechanisms of acquired resistance. This biopsy should consist of at least one frozen core specimen. Every effort will be made to obtain this biopsy within 30 days of discontinuation of treatment and before the initiation of any new tumor-directed therapies.
