About this study

Official title: A Randomized Study With Palliative Chemotherapy With or Without Local Treatment of Liver Metastases in Patients With Colo-rectal Cancer

In this study the investigators will include colo-rectal cancer (CRC) patients starting last line of standard palliative chemotherapy. Eligible patients include patients with KRAS mutation starting line or KRAS wild type starting line treatment. Standard treatment today for these patients is chemotherapy only and median overall survival (OS) is about 10 months. The hypothesis is that local treatment in addition to systemic treatment will increase time to progression, progression free survival and overall survival compared to patients who receive systemic chemotherapy only. The investigators experience with local treatment of liver metastases in CRC patients is that side-effects of treatment in general are minor, although gastric bleeding have been observed after stereotactic body radiation therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Radiofrequency ablation, microwave, radiation therapy and Standard Chemotherapy in people with Metastatic Colo-rectal Cancer, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 18 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2017. 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 Norway. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Insuffisient recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Overall survival from time of randomization (time frame: 6 months). 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 Jan 2017.
