About this study

Official title: Preoperative Transhepatic Arterial Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Liver Metastasis of Resectable Colorectal Cancer

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether preoperative TAC is able to improve progression free survival and overall survival in patients receiving liver metastasis resection of colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

We administered TAC(oxaliplatin,FUDR and MMC) 7 days before liver metastasis resection of colorectal cancer. The study endpoints were progression free survival and overall survival as evaluated by intent-to-treat analysis.

Being tested
tac + folfox4, folfox4
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • tac + folfox4Drug

    tac: oxaliplatin 100mg + fudr 1g + mmc 10mg 7 days later: operation within 28 days after operation: folfox4

  • folfox4Drug

    folfox4 will be done within 28 days after liver resection

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1Experimentaltranshepatic arterial chemotherapy (TAC) were given 7 days before liver metastasis resection. Adjuvant folfox4 chemotherapy was done within 28 days after surgery.
Receives: Drug: tac + folfox4
2Active comparatorLiver metastasis resection was done without TAC. Adjuvant folfox4 chemotherapy was done within 28 days after surgery.
Receives: Drug: folfox4

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

  1. progression free survival

    Measured: 5 years after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing tac + folfox4 and folfox4 in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2009. 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 China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact jianmin xu, MD, PHD (008613501984869, xujmin@yahoo.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

progression free survival (time frame: 5 years after operation). 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 2 Apr 2009.
