What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR)

    Percentage of participants with OR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (≥)30 percent (%) decrease under baseline of the sum of the longest diameter (LD) diameters of all target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions. Complete and partial responses must have been confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were first met.

    Measured: Baseline, every 3 months to progression of disease or end of study (up to 24 months)

  2. Percentage of Participants by Best Overall Response

    Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression. Based on assessment of CR, PR, stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD), according to RECIST. CR: disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. PR: ≥30% decrease under baseline of the sum of the LD diameters of all target lesions. CR and PR persist on repeat imaging study at least 4 weeks after initial documentation. SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. Reference is the smallest sum LD. PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: Baseline, every 3 months to progression of disease or end of study (up to 24 months)

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Duration of Response - Percentage of Participants With an Event by 24 Months

    Duration of overall response (CR or PR) was calculated only for participants of the ITT population whose best overall response was CR or PR based on RECIST criteria. Duration of overall response was defined as the time from the date of the first assessment of CR or PR status until the date of progression or death. Data for participants who were alive without any objectively documented disease progression at the end of the study were censored as of the date of last contact.

    Measured: Baseline, every 3 months to progression of disease or end of study (up to 24 months)

  2. Duration of Response

    Duration of overall response (CR or PR) was calculated for participants of the ITT population whose best overall response was CR or PR based on RECIST criteria. Duration of overall response was defined as the time from the date of the first assessment of CR or PR status until the date of progression or death. Data for participants who were alive without any objectively documented disease progression at the end of the study were censored as of the date of last contact. Mean time to event was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline, every 3 months to progression of disease or end of study (up to 24 months)

  3. Duration of Stable Disease - Percentage of Participants With an Event by 24 Months

    Duration of stable response (CR, PR, or stable disease [SD]) was calculated only for participants of the ITT population whose best overall response was CR, PR, or SD based on RECIST criteria. Duration of overall response was defined as the time from the date of the first assessment of CR, PR, or SD status until the date of progression or death. Data for participants who were alive without any objectively documented disease progression at the end of the study were censored as of the date of last contact.

    Measured: Baseline, every 3 months to progression of disease or end of study (up to 24 months)

  4. Duration of Stable Disease

    Duration of stable response (CR, PR, or SD) was calculated only for participants of the ITT population whose best overall response was CR, PR, or SD based on RECIST criteria. Duration of overall response was defined as the time from the date of the first assessment of CR, PR, or SD status until the date of progression or death. Data for participants who were alive without any objectively documented disease progression at the end of the study were censored as of the date of last contact. Mean time to event was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline, every 3 months to progression of disease or end of study (up to 24 months)

  5. Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) - Percentage of Participants With an Event by 24 Months

    TTF was defined as the time in months from Day 1 until discontinuation of treatment for any reasons. These reasons included: death due to any cause, treatment toxicity (adverse event), insufficient therapeutic response (progression of disease), failure to return (lost to follow-up), refusing treatment (participant non-compliance), being unwilling to cooperate and withdrawing consent (participant withdrew consent).

    Measured: Baseline, every month to end of treatment (up to 24 months)

  6. Time to Treatment Failure

    TTF was defined as the time in months from Day 1 until discontinuation of treatment for any reasons. These reasons included: death due to any cause, treatment toxicity (adverse event), insufficient therapeutic response (progression of disease), failure to return (lost to follow-up), refusing treatment (participant non-compliance), being unwilling to cooperate and withdrawing consent (participant withdrew consent). Mean TTF was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline, monthly to end of study (up to 24 months)

  7. Time to Progression (TTP) - Percentage of Participants With an Event by 24 Months

    TTP was defined as the time time in months from Day 1 until the date of first documented progressive disease, or death due to any cause. Data for participants who were alive without disease progression at the end of study, or who were non-responder participants (without tumor assessment after baseline) were censored at Day 1.

    Measured: Baseline, monthly to end of study (up to 24 months)

  8. Time to Progression

    TTP was defined as the time in months from Day 1 until the date of first documented progressive disease, or death due to any cause. Data for participants who were alive without disease progression at the end of study, or who were non-responder participants (without tumor assessment after baseline) were censored at Day 1. Mean TTP was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline, monthly to end of study (up to 24 months)

  9. Overall Survival (OS) - Percentage of Participants With an Event by 24 Months

    OS was defined as the time in months from Day 1 until the date of death due to any cause. Data for participants who were alive at the end of the study were censored at the date of the last available follow-up visit.

    Measured: Baseline, monthly to end of study (up to 24 months)

  10. Overall Survival

    OS was defined as the time in months from Day 1 until the date of death due to any cause. Data for participants who were alive at the end of the study were censored at the date of the last available follow-up visit. Mean OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline, monthly to end of study (up to 24 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bevacizumab [Avastin], capecitabine [Xeloda] and oxaliplatin in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 6 sites in Italy.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Italy. 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 15 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?

Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR) (time frame: Baseline, every 3 months to progression of disease or end of study (up to 24 months)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Aug 2014.
