About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Irinotecan in Combination With Capecitabine in Previously Untreated Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination chemotherapy with irinotecan and capecitabine in previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, single arm, open-label, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination chemotherapy with irinotecan and capecitabine in previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer.

Patients younger then 65 will be treated with irinotecan 100 mg/m2 on day 1 and 8 and capecitabine 1,000mg/m2 twice daily from day 1 to 14 every 3 weeks.For patiens equal to or older then 65, doses of irinotecan and capecitabine will be reduced to 60 mg/m2 and 750 mg/2, respectively.

Response assessment will be performed every 3 cycles of chemotherapy.

A Phase 2 study testing Irinotecan, Capecitabine in people with Colorectal Neoplasms and Secondary, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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 was stopped early (reason given: The study drugs are not covered anymore by insurance.). 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?

Maximal response rate and toxicities (time frame: During 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 25 Jul 2007.
