What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the feasibility and safety of NGRhTNF administered at low (0.8 mcg/sqm) and high (45 mcg/sqm) doses in combination with a standard oxaliplatin-based regimen in two sequential cohorts of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

    Measured: during the study

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Document the preliminary antitumor activity in terms of objective response rate (according to RECIST criteria) and progression-free survival

    Measured: during the study

  2. Evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of NGRhTNF and to measure plasma levels of sTNF-RI and sTNF-RII

    Measured: before during and following the treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NGR-hTNF, Oxaliplatin and capecitabine in people with Colon Cancer, run by AGC Biologics S.p.A. at 1 site in Italy.

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 14 inclusion and 15 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 30 May 2014. 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 Italy. 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 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 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 determine the feasibility and safety of NGRhTNF administered at low (0.8 mcg/sqm) and high (45 mcg/sqm) doses in combination with a standard oxaliplatin-based regimen in two sequential cohorts of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. (time frame: during the study). 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 NCT00675012, 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.

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 30 May 2014.
