Trial summary

This study is for patients with advanced or stage II and III colon or rectal cancer. The primary purpose of this research study is to determine if a particular protein in the patient's blood will change when they receive treatment with a drug called oxaliplatin, which is used to treat the colon or rectal cancer.

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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
  • ECOG Performance Status 0-2 (Appendix A).
  • Patient is a candidate for oxaliplatin based therapy either in the adjuvant or in the metastatic setting.
  • Consent to donate 4 tubes of PBMC of 7 ml of blood each.

Show all 12Show fewer
  • Neutrophil count > 1500/μl
  • Platelets > 75,000/ μl
  • Hemoglobin > 8 g/dl
  • Bilirubin < 2.0 X upper limit of normal

  • The patient must have signed a consent form approved by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine Cancer Center CCI and Montefiore Medical Center IRB

Who cannot join

  • No other significant underlying medical condition that will, in the opinion of the principal investigator or designees, make administration of oxaliplatin unusually hazardous, such as significant hepatic, bone marrow and/or cardiac disease, requiring active medical treatment.
  • Pregnant women or women of child bearing potential not practicing birth control or sexually active males unwilling to practice contraception during the study.
  • Patients undergoing major surgical procedures (they will be delayed enrollment until complete recovery from their surgery - 4 wk for major or 2 wk from minor surgery).
  • Patients with grade 2 neuropathy will not be eligible for the study.
  • The patient must not have received chemotherapy within 4 weeks of beginning oxaliplatin treatment. At least 6 weeks must elapse if prior therapy included mitomycin C or nitrosoureas. At least 2 weeks must have elapsed since the end of prior palliative radiation therapy.

About this study

Official title: Exploratory Study Of The ERCC-1 Gene Expression In Colorectal Cancer Cell Lines And In Patients With Colorectal Cancer

This study is for patients with advanced or stage II and III colon or rectal cancer. The primary purpose of this research study is to determine if a particular protein in the patient's blood will change when they receive treatment with a drug called oxaliplatin, which is used to treat the colon or rectal cancer. This protein is called ERCC-1. It is thought that the amount of this protein in the blood could influence the manner in which the patient responds to oxaliplatin.

  • OxaliplatinDrug

    Also called Eloxatin

    Oxaliplatin will be administered once every 2 or 3 weeks

Resected or metastatic CRCExperimentalAll patients with advanced or stage II or III colorectal cancer being treated with oxaliplatin

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With Excision Repair Cross-complementing Group-1 (ERCC1) Protein Change When Treated With Oxaliplatin

    ERCC was measured at the expression level, by RT-PCR and Western Blotting from peripheral blood mononuclear cells

    Measured: Change over 1 treatment cycle, up to 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine Extent of ERCC Polymorphism and Its Relationship to Change in Its Level

    Measured: Change over 1 treatment cycle, up to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxaliplatin in people with Colon Cancer and Rectal Cancer, run by Albert Einstein College of Medicine at 2 sites 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 12 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 16 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Sep 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Patients With Excision Repair Cross-complementing Group-1 (ERCC1) Protein Change When Treated With Oxaliplatin (time frame: Change over 1 treatment cycle, up to 4 weeks). 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 NCT00846482, 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 16 Sep 2020.
