About this study

Official title: Visualization of Anti-angiogenic Effects With Perfusion Computed Tomography (CTP) in mCRC Patients Treated With First-line Bevacizumab

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the anti-angiogenic effect of bevacizumab measured by CTP as a predictive marker for efficacy measured by progression-free survival (PFS) in mCRC patients under first-line bevacizumab-containing, fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy

Read the detailed description

So far, CTP has provided non-invasive imaging of tumor biological response to anti-angiogenic and vascular targeting agents in a number of clinical trials with increasing clinical application. CTP can be examined with a variety of commercially available CE-certified CT scanners and imaging post-processing is possible with commercially available CE-certified software from different vendors, too. In several studies, anti-angiogenic effects have been detected with CTP but further evidence for its clinical validation has to be proven in clinical trials.

Changes in tumor vasculature measured by CTP will be correlated to the clinical efficacy parameters progression-free survival, overall survival and response rate, thus identifying a group of patients who profit most from the anti-angiogenic treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. CTP as predictive marker for efficacy measured by progression-free survival

    Predictive power of decrease in tumor vasculature on the clinical outcome in bevacizumab-based chemotherapy measured by progression-free survival (PFS). Decrease in tumor vasculature is measured by blood flow in CTP 3 compared to CTP 1 (baseline)

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. CTP as predictive marker for efficacy measured by progression-free survival

    Predictive power of decrease in tumor vasculature on the clinical outcome in bevacizumab-based chemotherapy measured by progression-free survival (PFS). Decrease in tumor vasculature is measured by blood flow, blood volume, mean transit time and permeability surface-area product in CTP

    Measured: one year

  2. CTP as predictive marker for efficacy measured by overall survival

    Predictive power of decrease in tumor vasculature measured by CTP on the clinical outcome in bevacizumab-based chemotherapy measured by overall survival (OS)

    Measured: four years

  3. Tumor vasculature at progression

    Tumor vasculature measured by blood flow, blood volume, mean transit time and permeability surface-area product in CTP at the time of confirmed progression

    Measured: one year

  4. Subgroup analyses according to the RAS mutation status, BRAF mutation status and VEGF-A level

    Predictive power of RAS-mutation status, BRAF-mutation status and VEGF-A level on the clinical outcome in bevacizumab-based chemotherapy measured by progression-free survival (PFS)

    Measured: one year

  5. Local and distant recurrences

    Rates of local and distant recurrences according to RECIST 1.1 criteria

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Computed tomography X-ray system in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Patrick Veit-Haibach at 5 sites in Switzerland.

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 9 inclusion and 8 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 16 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Switzerland. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow accrual). 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?

CTP as predictive marker for efficacy measured by progression-free survival (time frame: one year). 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 16 Dec 2016.
