About this study

Official title: Gene Expression Analysis of Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Receiving Oxaliplatin Based Chemotherapy

1.1 To collect pathological tumor specimens of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in a prospective fashion for correlative studies of response to an oxaliplatin based chemotherapy regimen.

1.2 To determine a gene expression profile that predicts response to an oxaliplatin based chemotherapy regimen in this cohort of patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-arm, non-randomized trial of oxaliplatin and capecitabine. Patients that are placed on other studies that utilize the same chemotherapy regimen can enter this study. Those patients will be treated according to the clinical study on which they have been entered. For patients not on another clinical trial, the treatment outlined below should be followed.

What participants receive

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

  • OxaliplatinDrug

    Also called XELOX (oxaplatin+capecitabine)

    Oxaliplatin will be administered at the dose of 130 mg/m2 given as a 2 hour intravenous infusion on day 1 of a three week cycle, prior to the 1st dose of capecitabine. 5-HT3 antagonists with or without dexamethasone premedication are strongly recommended. Oxaliplatin may be infused either through a peripheral vein or a central venous line. The infusion lines must be adequately flushed with 5% dextrose solution (D5W) between oxaliplatin infusion \& the administration of any other drug.

    Capecitabine is to be administered orally within 30 mins. after the end of a meal. Tablets should be swallowed with approximately 200 mL water (not fruit juices). The first dose of each cycle will be administered as the evening dose on day 1 \& the last dose of each cycle is scheduled the morning of day 15, followed by a 7 day rest period. This provides for a total of 28 single doses per cycle over 15 calendar days.

What is being measured

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

  1. To collect pathological tumor specimens of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in a prospective fashion for correlative studies of response to an oxaliplatin based chemotherapy regimen

    Measured: The cycle length is 3 weeks, consisting of 2 weeks of capecitabine treatment followed by 1 week without treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxaliplatin in people with Colonic Diseases and Cancer, run by New Mexico Cancer Research Alliance at 4 sites 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 9 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 27 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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.

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 collect pathological tumor specimens of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in a prospective fashion for correlative studies of response to an oxaliplatin based chemotherapy regimen (time frame: The cycle length is 3 weeks, consisting of 2 weeks of capecitabine treatment followed by 1 week without treatment.). 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 27 Sep 2011.
