About this study

Official title: C-2424: Phase II Study of Celecoxib, Capecitabine, and Irinotecan in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This study will examine a new combination of drugs: celecoxib, capecitabine and irinotecan, for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Capecitabine and irinotecan, individually, are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in colorectal cancer. The combination of these two drugs is experimental (not approved by the FDA as standard treatment), but is a widely used treatment option and preliminary studies have shown that treatment with the combination of capecitabine and irinotecan has a positive effect on metastatic colorectal cancer. Likewise, previous research in animals has shown that celecoxib, a drug approved for arthritis therapy, also has activity against this tumor type and may improve the anti-cancer activity of the combination of capecitabine and irinotecan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Celecoxib, Capecitabine and Irinotecan in people with Colorectal Cancer, 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 11 inclusion and 12 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 21 Apr 2015. 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?

To determine the objective response rate to the combination of celecoxib, capecitabine, and irinotecan in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.. 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 21 Apr 2015.
