About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Oxaliplatin (OXAL), 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), and Leucovorin (CF) in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma Previously Treated With Irinotecan (CPT-11)

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and leucovorin in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer that has been previously treated with irinotecan. 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.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the tumor response rate in patients treated with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin calcium for metastatic colorectal cancer previously treated with irinotecan.

II. Determine the time to tumor progression, time to treatment failure, and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

III. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in this patient population. IV. Assess the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 15 and leucovorin calcium and fluorouracil IV on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a confirmed complete response for 2 consecutive courses may discontinue study treatment at the investigators discretion. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, approximately every 6-8 weeks during treatment, and then after the last course of treatment. Patients are followed every 3 months for 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing FOLFOX regimen, fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 24 sites in 2 countries.

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 5 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in United States, Canada. 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 phase mean?

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 5 Feb 2013.
