XBiotech Announces Discontinuation of Phase III Study for Colorectal Cancer Based on Second Interim Analysis
Patients enrolled in the XCITE study were randomized 2:1 to receive Xilonix or placebo plus, in each case, best supportive care. Advanced colorectal cancer patients were required to have previous failed regimens that included flouropyrimidines, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and Cetuximab (or Panitumumab for patients with KRAS mutation). Patients were expected to continue in the study until there was evidence of radiographic progression. The patients were to be followed for up to 18 months in order to determine overall survival. The primary endpoint of this study was overall survival, with secondary endpoints including objective response rate, progression free survival, change in lean body mass and patient reported quality of life measures.
