About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Oxaliplatin, Capecitabine, and Bevacizumab in the Treatment of Elderly Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Currently there is no one standard of care for older patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The study will examine the tumor response to capecitabine, oxaliplatin, plus bevacizumab. The study will also gather information on the usefulness and side effects of this treatment combination.

Read the detailed description

Colorectal cancer is primarily a disease of the elderly, with the median age in the United States of 70 years. Age greater than 65 years at presentation is not a contraindication to standard therapies; acceptable morbidity and mortality, as well as long term survival, are achieved in this patient population. However, studies evaluating combination therapy have generally involved younger patients with high performance status scores. Given the non-over-lapping safety profiles of the proposed study agents and the potential synergy, it would be of benefit to explore the combination of oxaliplatin, capecitabine, and bevacizumab in the treatment of older patients with colorectal cancer. Time to progression, overall response, duration of response, and toxicity profile will be evaluated. The feasibility of using a self-report geriatric assessment tool will also be assessed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • oxaliplatin, capecitabine, bevacizumabDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the efficacy (measured by time to progression) of oxaliplatin, capecitabine, and bevacizumab as first-line therapy in elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall response

  2. Duration of response

  3. Safety and tolerability (NCI CTCAE v3.0, discontinuations, dose intensity)

  4. Vulnerable Elders Survey (VES-13) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) scores

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing oxaliplatin, capecitabine, bevacizumab in people with Colorectal Cancer and Neoplasm Metastasis, run by Geriatric Oncology Consortium at 5 sites 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?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Nov 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: positive results from a larger study with same regimen was released.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To evaluate the efficacy (measured by time to progression) of oxaliplatin, capecitabine, and bevacizumab as first-line therapy in elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.. 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 16 Nov 2007.
