About this study

Official title: Clinical Efficacy of Chemotherapy Combined With Cytokine-induced Killer in Treatment of Patients With Colon Cancer

Cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) is an auxiliary antitumor treatment. The investigators aim to evaluate the clinical efficacy of chemotherapy combined with CIK in the treatment of postoperative colorectal cancer patients. And to provide useful reference for the clinical application of CIK in colorectal cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Over the past decade, advances in combination chemotherapy regimens for colorectal cancer have led to significant improvement in progression-free and overall survival. Cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) is an auxiliary antitumor treatment. Research has demonstrated the median overall survival (OS) in patients received CIK combined with chemotherapy (5-Fluorouridine, leucovorin and oxaliplatin [FOLFOX4] plan) was significantly increased compared with that in patients received chemotherapy alone. Furthermore, there was a trend toward superior progression-free survival time (PFS) in patients received CIK combined with chemotherapy compared with that in patients received chemotherapy alone. The investigators aim to evaluate the clinical efficacy of chemotherapy (FOLFOX4) combined with CIK in the treatment of postoperative colorectal cancer patients. And to provide useful reference for the clinical application of CIK in colorectal cancer patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Cytokine-induced killer cells+ FOLFOX4Drug

    Also called CIK + Oxaliplatin + leucovorin + 5-FU

    Day 1: Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m² IV infusion in 500 mL D5W. Day 2-6: leucovorin 200mg/m² IV infusion in D5W both given over 2 hours at the same time in separate bags Day 2-6: 5-FU 500 mg/m² IV bolus given continuously over 4-6 hours. The treatment is given for 4-6 cycles, every 3 weeks. Collected CIK cells were suspended with 100ml saline (containing 5ml 20% human serum albumin) and given continuously over 2 hours/ day for 3 days.

  • FOLFOX4Drug

    Also called Oxaliplatin + leucovorin + 5-FU

    Day 1: Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m² IV infusion in 500 mL D5W. Day 2-6: leucovorin 200mg/m² IV infusion in D5W both given over 2 hours at the same time in separate bags Day 2-6: 5-FU 500 mg/m² IV bolus given continuously over 4-6 hours. The treatment is given for 4-6 cycles, every 3 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cytokine-induced killer cells+ FOLFOX4 and FOLFOX4 in people with Colorectal Cancer and Cytokine-induced Killer Cells, run by China Meitan General Hospital.

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 12 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 21 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Relapse Free Survival in 2 years (time frame: 2 years (24 months)). 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 21 Mar 2017.
