Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Greater or equal to 18 years of age.
  • Surgically incurable, metastatic disease from proven colon or rectal adenocarcinoma.
  • Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
  • Histologically confirmed metastatic disease. Histological confirmation may be waived if needle biopsy presents a significant risk to the subject and the clinical setting is clinically consistent with metastasis of colorectal cancer, e.g. surgical findings at laparotomy, or positive PET scan, synchronous histologically confirmed primary tumor with typical metastatic pattern (stage D disease). Waiver can only be granted by the Sponsor, and these cases will be kept to less than 10% of the total study population.
  • Measurable disease. At least one unidimensionally measurable lesion with a diameter ≥10 mm using spiral CT scans (use of spiral CT must be documented in medical records and used consistently throughout the study) or ≥20 mm using conventional CT or MRI scans.
  • No prior systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy for metastatic or advanced local disease. However patients may have had radiosensitizing doses of fluoropyrimidines (only 5-FU or capecitabine, with or without leucovorin or levamisole is permitted) if completed 6 months prior to treatment on this protocol. No prior irinotecan or oxaliplatin in combination with radiotherapy is allowed.

  • Prior adjuvant therapy is allowed if completed more than 6 months prior to treatment on this protocol. Regimens which included oxaliplatin and irinotecan are allowed.
  • ECOG Performance Status is 0-2 or Karnofsky performance level of 100-70.
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Any prior exposure to bevacizumab.
  • A known intolerance to fluoropyrimidine (5-FU, capecitabine, floxuridine, UFT) therapy suggestive of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency.
  • Use of the following drugs are not permitted on the protocol: sorivudine (or other nucleoside analogue), or Brivudin™ (or other DPD inhibitor).
  • Pregnancy or lactation. Women with a positive (or no) serum or urine pregnancy test within 15 days of Cycle 1 Week 1. Women must have been amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months to be considered to lack potential for child bearing.
  • If sexually active and of child-bearing potential, failure to agree to use adequate contraception during this study and for 60 days after discontinuation of study medication.
  • A concurrent infection, including diagnoses of FUO and evidence of possible central line sepsis (subjects must be afebrile at the start of therapy).
Show all 27Show fewer
  • Any unstable oncologic emergency syndromes: superior vena cava syndrome, rising bilirubin needing stent placement, spinal cord compression, active bleeding, etc.
  • History of CNS metastasis, or other brain tumor, or history of stroke.
  • Radiation therapy within 6 weeks of Cycle 1 Week 1, or any radiation therapy which encompasses target lesions selected for this study unless those lesions have documented progression of disease.
  • Major surgery, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks of Cycle 1 Week 1, or anticipated need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study.
  • Fine needle aspiration or placement of a central line catheter within 7 days of Cycle 1 Week 1.
  • Inadequate bone marrow, liver or kidney function defined as:
  • Serum creatinine more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal,
  • Urine protein to creatinine ratio >1,
  • Serum bilirubin > 2 times the upper limit of normal,
  • ANC < 1.5 x 109/L,
  • Hemoglobin < 9.0 g / dL
  • Platelet count < 90 x 109/L,
  • SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) more than 3 times the upper limit of normal, or more than 5 times the upper limit of normal for subjects with documented liver metastases.
  • Myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, cerebral bleeding, translumenal cardiac angiography or cardiac stent placement or other arterial thrombotic event within 12 months prior to Cycle 1 Week 1.
  • Active, clinically significant cardiovascular or symptomatic arterial peripheral vascular disease [e.g., uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure, claudication, unstable angina, symptomatic cardiac arrhythmia, or New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class 2 or greater].
  • Presence of serious non-healing wounds, gastro-duodenal ulcers active by endoscopy, gastro-intestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess, skin ulcers, or bone fractures.
  • INR >1.5 unless on therapeutic doses of oral anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin). If so, must have an in-range INR (usually between 2-3) on a stable dose of drug.
  • Participation in another experimental drug study within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Week 1.
  • Known or suspected anaphylaxis reaction to leucovorin or any allergic reaction to a drug which, in the opinion of the Investigator, suggests an increased potential for a hypersensitivity to CoFactor or other study drug including excipients.
  • Presence of organ allograft requiring immunosuppressive therapy.
  • Unwilling or unable to comply with the study protocol or history of psychiatric disability judged by the investigator to preclude granting of informed consent.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 5- Fluorouracil (5-FU), bevacizumab (Avastin) and Leucovorin in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer and Colon Cancer, run by Mast Therapeutics, Inc. at 47 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 9 inclusion and 27 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 47 sites in United States, Serbia and Montenegro. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Progression Free Survival. 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 19 Nov 2007.
