What is being measured

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

  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression,assessed up to 100 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. overall survival

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause,assessed up to 100 months

  2. Response Rate

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented partial response or complete response, assessed up to 100 months

  3. Quality of Life

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause,assessed up to 100 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Andrographolides and Capecitabine in people with Colorectal Neoplasms, run by Gu Yanhong 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 15 inclusion and 13 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 14 Jan 2020. 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 was stopped early (reason given: low accrual rate). 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?

Progression free survival (PFS) (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression,assessed up to 100 months). 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 NCT01993472, 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 14 Jan 2020.
