About this study

Official title: A Triplet Combination With Irinotecan Plus Oxaliplatin,Continuous Infusion 5-Fluorouracil And Leucovorin Plus Cetuximab As First Line Treatment In Metastatic Colorectal Cancer. A Pilot Phase II Trial

This study will evaluate the efficacy of FOLOFOXIRI plus Cetuximab combination in young patients with good performance status with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

The combination of FOLFOXIRI plus cetuximab is reasonable safe regimen especially for patients with good performance status. The estimated benefit from the combination is greater than the possible risk, especially for the patients who will become resectable after treatment. It will be extremely interesting to evaluate the resectability rate of this specific group of patient with good performance status and unresectable disease when they are treated with all active chemotherapeutic agents and cetuximab

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Irinotecan, Leukovorin and Oxaliplatin in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by University Hospital of Crete at 1 site in Greece.

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 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2015. 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 Greece. 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?

Objective Response Rate (time frame: 2 months). 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 28 Sep 2015.
