Study of BOLD-100 with FOLFOX chemotherapy (fluorouracil, folinic acid, and oxaliplatin) in patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumors, colorectal, gastric, or pancreatic cancer

1 1 1

What is this study about?

This study focuses on treating patients with advanced solid gastrointestinal tumors, including colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma. The research evaluates a new treatment that combines an investigational drug called BOLD-100 with a standard chemotherapy regimen known as FOLFOX. FOLFOX consists of three medications: fluorouracil, folinic acid, and oxaliplatin.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of combining BOLD-100 with FOLFOX chemotherapy in treating these types of cancers. The study is conducted in two parts. In the first part, different dose levels of BOLD-100 will be tested to find the safest and most appropriate dose. In the second part, the selected dose will be given to more patients to further study how well the treatment works.

During the study, participants will receive BOLD-100 and FOLFOX through an intravenous line (a small tube inserted into a vein). The medications will be given according to a specific schedule determined by the healthcare team. Throughout the treatment, patients will have regular check-ups to monitor their health and how well the treatment is working.

1 Initial treatment preparation

Your treatment will combine several medications: BOLD-100, FOLFOX chemotherapy (which includes fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and folinic acid)

Before starting treatment, your doctor will verify that your blood tests show adequate organ function

You must be able to take oral medications for pre-treatment and support care

2 Treatment administration

You will receive medications through an intravenous line (directly into your vein)

The treatment includes:

– BOLD-100 given by intravenous injection

– Oxaliplatin given by intravenous infusion

– Fluorouracil given both as a quick injection and as a longer infusion

– Folinic acid given by intravenous infusion

3 Monitoring during treatment

Regular checks will include:

– Blood tests

– Heart activity monitoring (electrocardiogram)

– Physical examinations

– Vital signs measurements

– Assessment of your daily activity level (ECOG performance status)

Your doctor will measure your tumors regularly using imaging tests to check how well the treatment is working

4 Side effect monitoring

Your doctor will monitor for any side effects throughout the treatment

Side effects will be rated according to standardized criteria (CTCAE Version 5.0)

Any serious side effects will be recorded and addressed promptly

5 Treatment duration

The study is planned to continue until July 31, 2026

Your participation duration will depend on how well you tolerate the treatment and how your condition responds

Your doctor will regularly assess if continuing the treatment is beneficial for you

Trial locations

BOLD-100 is an investigational medication being studied in combination with other cancer treatments. It’s being tested as a new potential treatment for various types of advanced solid tumors.

FOLFOX is a combination chemotherapy treatment commonly used to treat various types of cancer. It consists of three medications: fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin, and oxaliplatin. This is a standard treatment that works by stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells.

The trial combines these two treatments (BOLD-100 with FOLFOX) to study if they work better together in treating patients with advanced solid tumors than existing treatments alone.

Advanced Solid Gastrointestinal Tumors – A condition where abnormal cells form masses in various parts of the digestive system, including the stomach, intestines, and other digestive organs. These tumors have grown beyond their initial location and may have spread to nearby tissues.

Cholangiocarcinoma – A cancer that develops in the cells of the bile ducts, which are tubes that connect the liver to the small intestine. The disease causes the bile duct cells to grow abnormally, forming tumors that gradually block the bile ducts.

Colorectal Cancer – A disease that begins in either the colon or rectum, where cells in the intestinal lining begin to grow abnormally. The disease typically develops from small growths called polyps, which over time can become cancerous and grow into the wall of the colon or rectum.

Gastric Cancer – A disease that occurs when abnormal cells develop in the lining of the stomach. The condition typically develops slowly over many years, starting in the stomach’s inner lining and gradually growing deeper into the stomach walls.

Pancreatic Cancer – A condition where abnormal cells form in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. The disease begins when cells in the pancreas start to grow uncontrollably, forming masses that disrupt normal pancreatic function.
