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

Study population: Patients diagnosed with metastatic (stage IV) colorectal cancer

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon.
  • Patients must have metastatic disease to the liver with at least one lesion that is measurable by RECIST criteria within 4 weeks prior to entry of study
  • Patients with a history of colon adenocarcinoma treated by surgical resection who develop radiological or clinical evidence of metastatic cancer do not require separate histological or cytological confirmation of metastatic disease unless an interval of > 5 years has elapsed between the primary surgery and the development of metastatic disease. Clinicians should consider biopsy of lesions to establish diagnosis of metastatic colon adenocarcinoma if there is substantial clinical ambiguity regarding the nature or source of apparent metastases.
  • Patients must have ECOG performance status of 0-2
  • Patients must be >= 18 years of age
  • Laboratory values <= 2 weeks prior to enrollment:
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) >= 1.5 x 10^9/L (>= 1500/mm^3)
  • Platelets (PLT) >= 100 x 10^9/L >= 100,000/mm^3)
  • Hemoglobin (Hgb) >= 9 g/dL
  • Serum creatinine <= 1.5 ULN
  • Serum bilirubin <= 1.5 ULN
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT) <= 3.0 x ULN (<= 5 x ULN if liver metastases present). Note: ERCP or percutaneous stenting may be used to normalize the liver function tests.
  • Negative for proteinuria based on dip stick reading OR, if documentation of +1 result for protein on dip stick reading, then total urinary protein <= 500 mg and measured creatinine clearance (CrCl) >= 50 mL/min from a 24-hour urine collection
  • Life expectancy >= 12 weeks
  • Ability to give written informed consent according to local guidelines

Who cannot join

  • Patients receiving prior 5-FU for the treatment of metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma will be excluded from enrollment. Previous use of 5-FU for adjuvant treatment of resected stage II or III colorectal adenocarcinoma will be allowed, provided the time from last 5-FU administration to enrollment is > 3 months.
  • Prior full field radiotherapy <= 4 weeks or limited field radiotherapy <= 2 weeks prior to enrollment. Patients must have recovered from all therapy-related toxicities. The site of previous radiotherapy should have evidence of progressive disease if this is the only site of disease.
  • Prior biologic or immunotherapy <= 2 weeks prior to registration. Patients must have recovered from all therapy-related toxicities
  • Prior therapy with anti-VEGF agents
  • Patients with a history of another primary malignancy <= 5 years, with the exception of inactive basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
  • Concurrent use of other investigational agents and patients who have received investigational drugs <= 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
  • Female patients who are pregnant or breast feeding, or adults of reproductive potential not employing an effective method of birth control. Barrier contraceptives must be used throughout the trial in both sexes. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test 48 hours prior to administration of study treatment.
  • Patients unwilling to or unable to comply with the protocol

About this study

To determine whether using a radiolabelled analog of 5-FU, [18F]-5-fluorouracil, for PET/CT imaging can visually demonstrate differential chemotherapy delivery to known tumor sites before and after administration of bevacizumab and determine the optimal timing of bevacizumab administration to maximize the chemotherapy delivery into the tumor for improved cancer treatment.

Being tested
Bevacizumab

What participants receive

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

  • BevacizumabDrug

    Also called Avastin

    2-12microCi IV injection

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine whether[18F]-5-Fluorouracil PET/CT scanning can demonstrate a difference in [18F]-5-Fluorouracil tumor uptake before and after the administration of Avastin

    Measured: 1-4 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine if [18F]-5-Fluorouracil PET/CT imaging demonstrates that there is a difference in maximal [18F]-5-Fluorouracil tumor uptake that is dependent on the time point of post-Avastin scanning

    Measured: 1-4 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Neoplasms and Colon Cancer, run by Stanford University 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 15 inclusion and 8 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 10 Aug 2012. 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.

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?

Determine whether[18F]-5-Fluorouracil PET/CT scanning can demonstrate a difference in [18F]-5-Fluorouracil tumor uptake before and after the administration of Avastin (time frame: 1-4 days). 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 10 Aug 2012.
