About this study

Official title: A Prospective,Multi-Center,Randomized Control Trial of Preoperative Hepatic and Regional Arterial Chemotherapy(PHRAC) Using Oxaliplatin, Fluorodeoxyuridine(FUDR) and Mitomycin C(MMC) to Prevent Postoperative Liver Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether preoperative hepatic and regional arterial chemotherapy are able to prevent liver metastasis and improve overall survival in patients receiving curative colorectal cancer resection.

Read the detailed description

We administered FUDR, MMC and Oxaliplatin as preoperative hepatic and regional arterial chemotherapy (PHRAC) to patients with Stage II or Stage III colorectal cancer without apparent liver metastasis based on a thorough preoperative evaluation. The study endpoints were disease-free survival, overall survival, and liver metastasis-free survival as evaluated by intent-to-treat analysis.

Being tested
Preoperative hepatic and regional arterial chemotherapy using oxaliplatin, MMC and FUDR, surgery

A Phase 3 study testing Preoperative hepatic and regional arterial chemotherapy using oxaliplatin, MMC and FUDR and surgery in people with Colorectal Neoplasms, run by Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 25 Mar 2009. 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 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?

Contact jianmin xu, MD (008613501984869, xujmin@yahoo.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

5 years disease-free survival (time frame: 5 years after operation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00643877, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
