Phase II study of TAS-102 plus bevacizumab switch maintenance therapy in patients with mCRC

Read the detailed description

Study Drug:

TAS-102 (trifluridine and tipiracil hydrocholoride) and bevacizumab

Dosing Details:

Starting dose of TAS-102 is 35 mg/m2 administered orally twice daily, after meals, for 5 days a week with 2 days rest for 14 days, followed by 14 days rest (1 treatment cycle).

Bevacizumab 5 mg/kg intravenously every 14 days. The treatment cycle repeats every 28 days. Patients may take TAS-102 plus bevacizumab until they exhibit progression of disease, withdraw consent, or experience unacceptable toxicity.This is a single arm study. All patients receive the same study treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Length of Progression-Free Survival

    Disease progression will be assessed per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by CT or MRI.

    Measured: From the first occurrence of progression or death, whichever occurred first, assessed up to 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TAS-102 and Bevacizumab in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Georgetown University at 1 site in United States.

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 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 7 Aug 2018. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Aug 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Length of Progression-Free Survival (time frame: From the first occurrence of progression or death, whichever occurred first, assessed up to 2 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 NCT02654639, 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 7 Aug 2018.
