Trial summary

The goal of this research study is to learn more about the pain and/or other symptoms that patients may experience within five years from CRC diagnosis. Researchers also want to learn how genetic differences may affect the symptoms patients experience from cancer and cancer therapy. Read more about this study

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients having oxaliplatin chemotherapy as a treatment for colorectal cancer.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with colorectal cancer meeting one of the following criteria: 1. naive to oxaliplatin or to any microtubule stabilizing agents (e.g. Taxol, Abraxane, Ixabepilone) but scheduled for combined oxaliplatine chemotherapy (longitudinal study cohort 1); or 2. during first 5 years from colorectal cancer diagnosis (cross-sectional study cohort). This second cohort may include patients with colorectal cancer from the original 12-month study (the longitudinal cohort), both those who completed the study and those who dropped out. It may also include new patients who did not participate in the longitudinal phase of the study.
  • Patients >= 18 years old.
  • Patients who speak English or Spanish.

  • Patients who do not understand the intent of the study.
  • Cohort 1 patients unable to use the interactive voice response (IVR) system due to physical limitations (e.g., hearing impairment).
  • Cohort 1 patients with a history of inflammatory bowel disease.

About this study

Official title: Prospective Study of Symptoms Related to Oxaliplatin-based Regimens in the Treatment of Colorectal Cancer

The goal of this research study is to learn more about the pain and/or other symptoms that patients may experience within five years from CRC diagnosis. Researchers also want to learn how genetic differences may affect the symptoms patients experience from cancer and cancer therapy.

Read the detailed description

If you agree to take part in this study, you will complete 5 questionnaires during a regularly scheduled visit. The questionnaires are designed to measure pain and other symptoms, your mood, and your quality of life.

You will also give a tissue sample by inserting a cotton tipped swab into your mouth and rubbing firmly against the inside of your cheek or underneath your lower or upper lip for about 1 minute at the most.

Completing the 5 questionnaires and the swab sample should take about 30 minutes.

Length of Study:

After you complete the questionnaires and the swab sample collection, your active participation in this study will be over.

This is an investigational study.

Up to 500 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 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 29 May 2019. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Terminated at continuing review). 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?

Association between inflammatory cytokines and development of treatment-related symptom burden in colorectal cancer patients (time frame: 5 Years). 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 NCT00777192, 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 29 May 2019.
