What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • blood samplesOther

    Draw blood samples in week 1 (day 1 and day 5), in week 4 (day 1 and day 5) and in week 7 (day 1 and day 5).

What is being measured

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

  1. Influence of Cetuximab on metabolic activation of Capecitabine

    Curve fitting of drug and metabolite concentrations will be performed. For pharmacokinetic modelling of CCB and metabolites, a non-compartment model for extravascular input will be used. For calculation of AUC and AUMC the linear trapezoid rule will be applied for the ascending part of the concentraion-time curve and the log-linear trapezoidal rule for the descending part of the concentration-time curve.

    Measured: 9 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing blood samples in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Arbeitsgemeinschaft medikamentoese Tumortherapie at 3 sites in Austria.

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 5 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 9 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Austria. 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?

Influence of Cetuximab on metabolic activation of Capecitabine (time frame: 9 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 9 Mar 2015.
