About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Fixed Dose Rate Gemcitabine in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

To assess the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine given by fixed dose rate intravenous infusion in patients with pretreated metastatic colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Previous lines of treatment recorded. Adjuvant and palliative.

Treatment will continue until clinical indication due to PD or toxicity, or until completion of 6 cycles of gemcitabine, whichever comes first.

All patients will be assessed for toxicity and followed up for disease recurrence/progression.

The study will be divided into two accrual stages - the first consisting of 17 patients. If 6 or more patients achieve tumour response or stabilisation in the first stage, the second stage will commence accrual of a further 20 patients. Hence, the total planned accrual will be 37 patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gemcitabine in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 15 inclusion and 4 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 16 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 1 site in United Kingdom. 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?

Proportion of patients obtaining disease control in the form of tumour response or stabilisation. 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 16 Dec 2009.
