About this study

Official title: Adjuvant Chemotherapy With Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine Versus Follow-up After Resection of Colorectal Liver Metastases- Randomized Phase III Study

Primary endpoint of the study is to prove the superiority of an adjuvant therapy with oxaliplatin/ capecitabine until the first occurrence of appearance of a tumour. Occurrences in the meaning of this study are the appearance of a relapse of the tumour, of metastases, of a second tumour or death of any reason.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, randomized, multi-centre, open phase III study with two parallel groups of patients according to the eligibility criteria. The times in both hierarchical classified endpoints will be measured as times from randomization.

Patients with macroscopic complete resection of colorectal liver metastases will be randomized in:

Arm A: post-operative adjuvant therapy with Capecitabine/ Oxaliplatin over 6 months and follow-up

or

Arm B: follow-up

Randomization: stratification after Scores of Fong et al:

  • number of metastases (1 vs. >=1)
  • maximal diameter of the metastasis (<= 5cm vs. > 5cm)
  • disease free interval (>= 12 months vs. > 12 months)
  • CEA (<= 200ng/l vs. >200 ng/l) in the strata 0-1, 2 and >= 3,

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin in people with Colorectal Neoplasms and Liver Metastases, run by Arbeitsgruppe Lebermetastasen und Tumoren at 3 sites in Germany.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Dec 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 Germany. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

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?

Primary outcomes:. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Dec 2009.
