About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Study Evaluating Three Chemotherapies: [Irinotecan + Oxaliplatin (Irinox)], [Irinotecan + LV5FU2] and [Oxaliplatin + LV5FU2] as First Intention Treatment in Subjects With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving the drugs in different combinations may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying combination chemotherapy containing irinotecan and oxaliplatin to see how well it works compared to two standard combination chemotherapy regimens in treating patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the efficacy, in terms of response rate (partial response and complete response), of irinotecan and oxaliplatin vs irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin calcium vs oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin calcium in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
  • Compare the progression-free survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the tolerability of these regimens in these patients.
  • Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes and oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1.
  • Arm II: Patients receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes and leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours on day 1 and fluorouracil IV over 46 hours on days 1-2.
  • Arm III: Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours and leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours on day 1 and fluorouracil IV over 46 hours on days 1-2.

In all arms, treatment repeats every 2 weeks for 26 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and then every 3 months for 1 year.

Patients are followed at 2 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 80 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.

FOLFIRI regimen, FOLFOX regimen, fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing FOLFIRI regimen, FOLFOX regimen and fluorouracil in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by UNICANCER at 17 sites in France.

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 2 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in France. 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00066274, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Mar 2021.
