About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label Study of the Effect of 2 Different Treatment Schedules of Xeloda With Eloxatin and Avastin on Progression-free Survival in Treatment-naïve Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This 2-arm study evaluated the efficacy and safety of 2 different treatment schedules of oral Xeloda with intravenous (IV) Eloxatin (oxaliplatin) and IV bevacizumab (Avastin) as a first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients were randomized to receive either: 1) Xeloda 850 mg/m^2 orally twice a day (po bid) on Days 1-14, oxaliplatin 130 mg/m^2 IV on Day 1, and Avastin 7.5 mg/kg IV on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle; or 2) Xeloda 1500 mg/m^2 po bid on Days 1-7, oxaliplatin 85 mg/m^2 IV on Day 1 and Avastin 5 mg/kg IV on Day 1 of each 2-week cycle. The anticipated time on study treatment was 1-2 years, and the target sample size was 100-500 individuals.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first occurrence of having documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first. Progression was based on tumor assessments made by the investigators according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    Measured: Time to disease progression or death (through follow-up phase)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death, for any cause.

    Measured: Time to death (through follow-up phase): Approximate Median of 718 days

  2. Best Overall Clinical Response

    Overall response rate was assessed according to RECIST (the best response recorded from the time of randomization to the first CR or PR. The patient's overall best response was complete response (CR), partial response (PR) (CR and PR considered "responders"), stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD). To be assigned a status of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), changes in tumor measurements were confirmed by repeat assessments performed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were first met.

    Measured: Through follow-up phase: Approximate Median of 318 days

  3. Duration of Overall Clinical Response (CR or PR)

    Among tumor responders (i.e., patients with overall best response of CR or PR), duration of overall response was measured from the time criteria were first met for CR or PR (whichever status was recorded first) to the date of either recurrent/progressive disease was objectively documented or death from any cause.

    Measured: Time to Disease Progression or Death (through follow-up phase): Approximate Median of 302 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing capecitabine, Oxaliplatin and bevacizumab in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. 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 3 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Mar 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Time to disease progression or death (through follow-up phase)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 3 Mar 2011.
