About this study

Official title: Study of Avastin in Combination With Chemotherapy for the First Line Treatment of RAS Mutant Unresectable Colorectal Liver-limited Metastases

In this study, the investigators assessed the effect of avastin in combination with chemotherapy in the treatment of RAS mutant-type, unresectable colorectal liver-limited metastases

Read the detailed description

Patients will be eligible for inclusion if the patients have histologically confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma with RAS mutant liver-confined metastases deemed non-resectable. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to chemotherapy plus avastin (arm A) or chemotherapy alone (arm B). Treatment will continue until tumor response indicates suitability for surgery for liver metastases or until disease progression or unacceptable toxic effects. The primary endpoint is the conversion rate to radical resection for liver metastases,which will be assessed by local multidisciplinary team (includes more than three liver surgeons and one radiologist) with the use of contrast-enhanced CT or MRI after 4 cycles and then every other 4 cycles up to 12 cycles. To provide an objective assessment of changes in resectability, radiological images will be presented by a radiologist to more than 3 liver surgeons, who are blinded to the clinical data. Patients will be considered resectable if 50% or more of surgeons vote for radical resection of LM. For patients whose liver-metastases are assessed resectable, resection should be scheduled to be performed within 2~3 weeks of the last treatment cycle. Following resection, patients will be advised to continue the same therapeutic regimen until the treatments reach a sum of 12 cycles.

What participants receive

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

  • avastinDrug

    Also called Bevacizumab

    Drug: avastin On day 1 of a 14 day treatment cycle, patients received a 2-hour infusion of avastin (5mg/kg) followed by chemotherapy of mFOLFOX6 until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.

  • mFOLFOX6Drug

    mFOLFOX-6 (oxaliplatin, 85mg/m2 on day 1 infused during 2 hours;LV400mg/m2 on days 1 infused during 2 hours, followed by FU 400 mg/m2 intravenous bolus then 2400 mg/m2 continuous infusion for 46 hours)

What is being measured

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

  1. the rate of patients converted to resection for liver metastases

    To explore whether avastin in combination with chemotherapy as treatment could improve the resection rate in patients with RAS mutant-type, unresectable colorectal liver-limited metastases compared with chemotherapy alone.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. progression free survival

    PFS will be defined as the period from the first day of avastin treatment or chemotherapy to the date of disease progression (PD) or to death. Patients without PD who discontinued the study for any reason is censored at the last on-study tumor assessment date.or distant(i.e. metastasis) disease recurrence or death.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. overall survival

    OS will be calculated from randomization to death from any cause or the date of the last follow-up, at which point the data will be censored.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. tumor response

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing avastin and mFOLFOX6 in people with Colorectal Neoplasms, run by Xu jianmin 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 10 inclusion and 11 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 17 Dec 2019. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

the rate of patients converted to resection for liver metastases (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT01972490, 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 17 Dec 2019.
