About this study

Official title: PET Interest in the Follow Up of Colorectal Cancer Stage II and III: Phase III Randomised Study

The follow up of colorectal cancer after curative surgery has to find loco-regional relapses or synchronous metastases, and to detect adenomas and new cancer on the rest of the colon.

The increase of survival after relapse of the colorectal cancer depends on the possibility of curative action or after chemotherapy response.

This is a Phase III open-labeled, multicenter, multidisciplinary, randomised study, comparing 2 arms of 188 patients (i.e. 376 total patients).

Study Period (date of first inclusion/last inclusion): 3 years.

Follow Up: 3 years.

The primary objective is the evaluation of PET performance in the earlier relapse detection of the colorectal cancer relapse in comparison with conventional control (including carcinoembryonic [CEA] levels and other classic radiological exams).

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to colorectal cancer relapse

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluation of overall survival in the two groups

    Measured: after curative resection of colorectal cancer stage II or III

  2. Evaluation of the rate of curative surgery

    Measured: after relapse

  3. Comparison of the medical cost in the two detection strategies

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing PET in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 5 sites in France.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 9 Apr 2013. 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 France. 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?

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?

Time to colorectal cancer relapse. 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 NCT00199654, 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 9 Apr 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
