Official title: Phase II Study of Irinotecan Plus Capecitabine as the First-line or Second-line Treatment for Advanced Colorectal Cancer Patients

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of single-week regimen of irinotecan plus capecitabine in the first-line or second-line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Irinotecan and capecitabine are approved to be the effective drugs for the advanced colorectal cancer patients. However, the combination of these two drugs are not regularly recommended due to the severe diarrhea as the most common adverse event.This study was designed to explore whether the single-week regimen of irinotecan plus capecitabine improves efficacy and does not increase the toxicity in advanced colorectal cancer patients in China.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing irinotecan, capecitabine 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 8 inclusion and 6 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 11 Jun 2013. 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 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Rate of Diarrhea (time frame: eight 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 NCT01322152, 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 11 Jun 2013.
