  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Patients with histologic proof of adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum (colorectal carcinoma) with evidence of metastatic disease.
  • Patients must have received one (and only 1) prior chemotherapy regimen for metastatic disease. Patients who received adjuvant therapy and then 1 regimen for metastatic disease are eligible. Patients who received adjuvant therapy and recur within 12 months of completion of adjuvant therapy are also eligible.
  • Patients who have received prior radiation therapy, either in the adjuvant or metastatic setting, for colorectal carcinoma.
  • All of the following must apply:
  • Greater than 4 weeks must have elapsed from the time of major surgery and patients must have recovered from the effects (e.g., laparotomy); *Greater than 2 weeks must have elapsed from the time of minor surgery and patients must have recovered from the operation. (Insertion of a vascular access device is not considered major or minor surgery.);

  • Greater than 4 weeks must have elapsed from the time of major radiotherapy [RT] (e.g., chest or bone palliative RT);
  • Greater than 4 weeks must have elapsed from the completion of previous chemotherapy and patients must have recovered from any related toxicities;
  • Greater than 4 weeks must have elapsed from the participation in any investigational drug study.

  • Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • ANC > 1500/mm3; hemoglobin > 9.0 gm/dl; platelets > 100,000/mm3; SGOT < 2.5x upper limits of normal if no evidence of liver metastases or < 5x upper limits of normal if evidence of liver metastases; total bilirubin < 1.5x upper limits of normal; Alk Phos < 2.5x upper limits of normal (or < 5x upper limits of normal if evidence of liver metastases or < 10x upper limits of normal if evidence of bone disease).

Who cannot join

  • Patients with peripheral neuropathy of grade 2 or greater severity.
  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure.
  • Unstable angina.
  • Symptomatic congestive heart failure.
  • Myocardial infarction < 12 months prior to registration.
  • Serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia.
Show all 17Show fewer
  • New York Heart Association classification III or IV.
  • Active or uncontrolled infection.
  • Medical or psychiatric conditions which, in the opinion of the investigator, make participation in an investigational trial of this nature a poor risk.
  • Patients with known brain metastases or carcinomatous meningitis should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
  • No concurrent malignancy of any site, except for limited basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
  • Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to registration and agree to use an effective method of contraception.
  • Patients who are pregnant or lactating.
  • Patients with prior unanticipated severe reaction to fluoropyrimidine therapy, or known sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil.
  • Patients previously treated with oxaliplatin, OSI-774 or another epidermal growth factor inhibitor (EGFR).
  • Patients lacking physical integrity of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
  • Patients with other serious uncontrolled medical conditions that the investigator feels might compromise study participation.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of OSI-774 (Tarceva) in Combination With Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine in Previously Treated Patients With Stage IV Colorectal Cancer

This trial is designed to investigate the safety, tolerability and the effectiveness when OSI-774 (tarceva) is combined with oxaliplatin and capecitabine in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be treated with OSI-774 (orally) daily, oxaliplatin (intravenously) every 3 weeks, and capecitabine (orally) twice daily for 14 days followed by a 7-day rest period. This will constitute a 21-day treatment cycle. Treatment will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the response rate of OSI-774 when given in combination with oxaliplatin and capecitabine in patients with previously-treated locally advanced, locally recurrent, or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To assess overall survival, progression-free survival, time to progression and duration of response

  2. To evaluate the toxicities of the combination of OSI-774, oxaliplatin and capecitabine in this population of patients with colorectal cancer

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tarceva (OSI-774), Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin in people with Colorectal Cancer and Neoplasm Metastasis, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 3 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 12 inclusion and 17 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 28 Apr 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the response rate of OSI-774 when given in combination with oxaliplatin and capecitabine in patients with previously-treated locally advanced, locally recurrent, or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00123851, 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 28 Apr 2009.
