About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Non-interventional, Post-authorization Study to Observe in Daily Clinical Practice the Treatment Duration of Patients Treated With Avastin (Bevacizumab) in 1st Line mCRC in Belgium

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of Bevacizumab Treatment

    Duration of bevacizumab treatment (in months) was defined as: (last treatment date - first treatment date plus [+] 1)/30.44. Duration of treatment was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. Results are reported as per age groups (<70 years and greater than or equal to [≥] 70 years) as well as for overall participants.

    Measured: Baseline up to end of treatment (up to approximately 3 years)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS (in months) was defined as: (date of progression or censored date - first date of treatment + 1)/30.44. Date of progression was derived from Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) evaluation or from last available date for participant who withdrew the study for progressive disease without progression according to RECIST evaluation. Progression was defined (as per RECIST) as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions or appearance of one or more new non-target lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. Results are reported as per age groups (<70 years and ≥70 years) as well as for overall participants.

    Measured: Baseline up to disease progression or death (up to approximately 3 years)

  2. Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Response

    Tumor response was assessed using RECIST. Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; Partial Response (PR): at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD; Progressive Disease (PD): at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions or appearance of one or more new non-target lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions; Stable Disease (SD): neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started or persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s) or/and maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits. Results are reported as per age groups (<70 years, 70-80 years, and >80 years) as well as for overall participants.

    Measured: Baseline up to disease progression or death (up to approximately 3 years)

  3. Percentage of Participants With Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status

    ECOG performance status measured on a 6 point scale to assess participant's performance status. 0=Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease activities without restriction; 1=Restricted in physically strenuous activity, ambulatory and able to carry out light or sedentary work; 2=Ambulatory (>50% of waking hours), capable of all self-care, unable to carry out any work activities; 3=Capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed/chair >50% of waking hours; 4=Completely disabled, cannot carry on any self-care, totally confined to bed/chair; 5=Dead. 0=Best status, 5=Worst status. For each time-point, only categories with available data are reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to Cycle 51 (1 cycle = 21 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 19 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Dec 2015). 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?

Duration of Bevacizumab Treatment (time frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (up to approximately 3 years)). 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 16 Dec 2015.
