About this study

Official title: A Pilot Trial of Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin Combined With the Anti-Angiogenesis Agent Tetrathiomolybdate in Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma (UMCC 0075)

This study will examine an investigational (experimental) agent Tetrathiomolybdate (TM) combined with the chemotherapy drugs Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and Leucovorin (LV). This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of these drugs when they are used in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.

This is a pilot clinical trial which will be studying the reactions of the patient's body and tumor to the experimental treatment described above. The purpose of this study is to find out what kind of side effects this experimental treatment causes and see how often these side effects occur.

Being tested
Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, Tetrathiomolybdate
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • IrinotecanDrug

    Irinotecan by intravenous infusion (needle in a vein in your arm) over 90 minutes immediately followed by intravenous LV and 5-FU weekly for 4 weeks (days 1, 8, 15 and 22) followed by two weeks of no treatment.

  • 5-FluorouracilDrug

    Irinotecan by intravenous infusion (needle in a vein in your arm) over 90 minutes immediately followed by intravenous LV and 5-FU weekly for 4 weeks (days 1, 8, 15 and 22) followed by two weeks of no treatment.

  • LeucovorinDrug

    Irinotecan by intravenous infusion (needle in a vein in your arm) over 90 minutes immediately followed by intravenous LV and 5-FU weekly for 4 weeks (days 1, 8, 15 and 22) followed by two weeks of no treatment.

  • TetrathiomolybdateDrug

    one 40 mg oral (by mouth) dose of TM three times a day with meals and one 60 mg oral dose (without food) at bedtime beginning at bedtime on day 1 of your first 6-week cycle of treatment. The between meal dose must be taken at least one hour before or one hour after a meal.

What is being measured

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

  1. OBJECTIVES

    Measured: 12 months

  2. To determine the tolerability and toxicity of tetrathiomolybdate (TM) in combination with irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and leucovorin (LV) in metastatic colorectal cancer.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Toxicity

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To evaluate the progression free survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer when treated with this regimen.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. To determine the tolerability and toxicity of tetrathiomolybdate (TM) in combination with irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and leucovorin (LV) in metastatic colorectal cancer.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. To determine the success rate of TM leading to target levels of copper depletion in patients treated concurrently with chemotherapy

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil and Leucovorin in people with Colorectal Carcinoma, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center at 1 site 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 8 inclusion and 6 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 7 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

OBJECTIVES (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 3 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 7 Feb 2012.
