Who cannot join

  • Prior therapy for MCRC in the metastatic setting.
  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Patients with known brain metastases will 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.
  • Grade 2 or greater peripheral neuropathy.
  • Prior unanticipated severe reaction to fluoropyrimidine therapy, or known sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. Clinically significant cardiac disease (e.g. congestive heart failure, symptomatic coronary artery disease and cardiac arrhythmias not well controlled with medication) or myocardial infarction within the last 12 months.
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Pregnant and nursing women are excluded from this study. Women / men of childbearing potential not using a reliable and appropriate contraceptive method.

  • Major surgery within 4 weeks of the start of study treatment, without complete recovery.
  • Lack of physical integrity of the upper gastrointestinal tract or malabsorption syndrome.
  • History of clinically significant interstitial lung disease and/or pulmonary fibrosis.
  • History of persistent neurosensory disorder including but not limited to peripheral neuropathy
  • Treatment for other carcinomas within the last five years, except cured non-melanoma skin and treated in-situ cervical cancer.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Capecitabine in Combination With Irinotecan and Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) in Adult Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer

The purpose of this study is to find out how effective the new combination of the drugs Capecitabine (Xeloda), Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin), and Irinotecan (Camptosar) are against colon and rectal cancer. All three of these drugs are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of colon or rectal cancer. This however is the first time that these three drugs have been combined in this schedule for the treatment of colon/rectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to determine the radiographic response rate in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with Oxaliplatin, Capecitabine and Irinotecan. Secondary objectives are to determine the time to tumor progression and the toxicity and tolerability of Oxaliplatin, Capecitabine and Irinotecan when administered in combination. Study schema is as follows. Cycles are 42 days long. Patients will receive Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine on day 1. Capecitabine is an oral pill that will be taken for 14 days. Patients return again on day 21 when they receive Irinotecan and Capecitabine. Capecitabine again is taken for 14 days. CT scans are performed at the end of the 6 week cycle to determine response.

What participants receive

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

  • capecitabineDrug

    Also called XELODA™

    Capecitabine will be administered at a dose of 825 mg/m2 PO BID, for a total daily dose of 1650 mg/m2. Capecitabine will be administered on days 1-14 followed by 7 day treatment free rest period and days 21-35 followed by a 7 day treatment-free rest period, every six weeks (42 days) of treatment is considered one cycle.

  • OxaliplatinDrug

    Also called E LOXATIN™

    Oxaliplatin will be administered at a dose of 130 mg/m2 IV over 120 minutes in 250-500 ML D5W on day 1, every 42 days.

  • IrinotecanDrug

    Also called CAMPTOSAR™

    Irinotecan will be administered at a dose of 180mg/m2 IV over 90 minutes on day 21 every 42 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing capecitabine, Oxaliplatin and Irinotecan in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 15 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 25 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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?

response rate (time frame: average of 12 months). 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 Nov 2013.
