About this study

Official title: A Single-arm Open-label Phase II Study: Treatment Beyond Progression by Adding Bevacizumab to XELOX or FOLFOX Chemotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer and Disease Progression Under First-line FOLFIRI + Bevacizumab Combination

This open-label single arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Avastin added to XELOX or FOLFOX in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer and disease progression on 1st line therapy with FOLFIRI plus Avastin. Patients will receive either Avastin (7.5mg/kg iv infusion every 3 weeks) and standard XELOX (Xeloda [capecitabine] plus oxaliplatin) chemotherapy or Avastin (5 mg/kg iv infusion every 2 weeks) and standard FOLFOX (5-FU and leucovorin plus oxaliplatin) chemotherapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100 individuals.

Being tested
fluorouracil (5FU), leucovorin, bevacizumab [Avastin], capecitabine [Xeloda], oxaliplatin

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) From the Start of Treatment Beyond Progression

    PFS from the start of treatment beyond progression was defined as the interval between the start of beyond-progression therapy and the date at which disease progression was documented. Progression of disease was evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.1 and abdominal/pelvic computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. The same method of assessment and the same technique were to be used to evaluate each lesion throughout the entire study. If more than one method was used, data from the most accurate method according to RECIST were recorded. Median PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline, every 9 weeks until disease progression, at end of treatment or withdrawal, for up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. PFS From the Start of First-Line Therapy

    PFS from the start of first-line therapy was defined as the interval between the start of first-line therapy and the date at which second disease progression (after the start of beyond progression therapy) was documented. Progression of disease was evaluated using RECIST version 1.1 and abdominal/pelvic CT or MRI scanning. The same method of assessment and the same technique were to be used to evaluate each lesion throughout the entire study. If more than one method was used, data from the most accurate method according to RECIST were recorded. Median PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline, every 9 weeks until disease progression, at end of treatment or withdrawal, for up to 24 months

  2. Percentage of Participants With an Overall Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)

    Percentage of participants with an overall response of CR or PR according to RECIST criteria.

    CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease, with the exception of nodal disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must have decreased to normal (short axis less than [<]10 millimeters [mm]). No new lesions. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (≥)30 percent (%) decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target lesions. The short axis was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for all other target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions.

    Measured: Baseline, every 9 weeks until disease progression, at end of treatment or withdrawal, for up to 24 months

  3. Geometric Mean Values of Pro-Angiogenic Cytokine Concentrations at Baseline and Prior to Progression

    Pro-angiogenic cytokine concentrations of placental growth factor (PlGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in participant sera were measured and reported in units of picograms/milliliter (pg/mL). The geometric mean was calculated as exp10 (mean of log10 transformed concentration) and the standard deviation (SD) is SD of log10 transformed concentration.

    Measured: Baseline, every 9 weeks until disease progression, at final visit or at withdrawal, for up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing fluorouracil (5FU), leucovorin and bevacizumab [Avastin] in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 28 sites in Belgium.

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 7 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 15 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in Belgium. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Aug 2014). 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?

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) From the Start of Treatment Beyond Progression (time frame: Baseline, every 9 weeks until disease progression, at end of treatment or withdrawal, for up to 24 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 15 Dec 2014.
