Trial summary

Irinotecan is one of effective drugs for colorectal cancer. In neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT), Irinotecan is prescribed in a low dose of 50mg/m2/week because of toxicity. Some current studies showed that irinotecan's dose can be increased significantly for those patients with 6/6 or 6/7 genotype of UGT1A1. Read more about this study

About this study

Irinotecan is one of effective drugs for colorectal cancer. In neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT), Irinotecan is prescribed in a low dose of 50mg/m2/week because of toxicity. Some current studies showed that irinotecan's dose can be increased significantly for those patients with 6/6 or 6/7 genotype of UGT1A1. therefore, the investigators designed this trial to explore the maximal tolerable dose (MTD) of Irinotecan in combined neoadjuvant CRT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Irinotecan, Capecitabine and Radiotherapy in people with Rectal 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 9 inclusion and 8 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 18 Nov 2011. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Ji Zhu, MD (leo.zhu@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

toxicity (time frame: 5 weeks). 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 18 Nov 2011.
