Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining eniluracil, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin in treating patients who have… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Eniluracil Plus Oral 5-Fluorouracil Combined With Oxaliplatin (FOX-E) in Patients With Previously-Treated Colorectal Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining eniluracil, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin in treating patients who have advanced colorectal cancer that has been treated previously.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose, dose limiting toxicity, and recommended phase II dose of eniluracil, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin in patients with previously treated advanced colorectal cancer. II. Determine the response rate in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of eniluracil and fluorouracil. Patients receive oral eniluracil and oral fluorouracil twice daily on days 1-21. Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 15. Treatment continues every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with complete response are treated with 2 more courses and then therapy is stopped. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of eniluracil and fluorouracil until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity. The recommended phase II dose (RPTD) is defined as 1 dose level below the MTD. Patients are followed at 1 month.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-30 patients will be accrued for phase I of the study, and an additional 27-40 patients will be accrued for phase II of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ethynyluracil, fluorouracil and oxaliplatin in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Mar 2011.
