About this study

Official title: A Phase III Trial of XELOX (Xeloda/Oxaliplatin) Followed by Xeloda Maintenance Versus Best Supportive Care (BSC) in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) accounts for 10% to 15% of all cancers and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Western countries. Approximately half of all patients develop metastatic disease and become candidates for the palliative chemotherapy which has been proved to prolong survival and improve quality of life (QOL) in patients with metastatic CRC. The most active chemotherapy regiments include oxaliplatin or irinotecan combined with fluoropyrimidines.

With overall survival in metastatic CRC nowadays routinely around 2 years, the same intensity of therapy can hardly be maintained throughout the course of therapy. The continuum of care therefore mandates changes in therapy, with treatment breaks or phases of less-intensive maintenance therapy interspersed with periods of more-intensive therapy to control tumor progression. Thereby, chemo-holidays conceivably reduce the cumulative toxicities of chemotherapy, potentially prevent the unplanned, premature discontinuation of therapy, preserve the ability to administer further phases of therapy, potentially maximize the time on therapy, reduce cost, and could increase QOL for patients. Several trials have tested the influence of chemo-holidays on patient outcome, with various rules on when to stop which component of antitumor therapy as follows; 1) Completely stopping all therapeutic agents, giving patients a completely chemotherapy-free interval (OPTIMOX-2, GISCAD), or 2) Stopping only those agents associated with significant (cumulative) toxicity while continuing other agents as maintenance therapy (OPTIMOX-1, Combined Oxaliplatin Neurotoxicity Prevention Trial [CONcePT]).

Therefore, we'd like to test if capecitabine maintenance after 8 cycles of capecitabine combine with oxaliplatin (XELOX) could prolong progression-free survival without deterioration of QOL and toxicities in patients metastatic CRC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Xeloda in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 7 inclusion and 16 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 27 Apr 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 South Korea. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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: others). 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 (time frame: up to 6weeks). 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 27 Apr 2017.
