About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of OSI-774 in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Biological therapies such as erlotinib may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of the tumor. Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of erlotinib in treating patients who have recurrent or metastatic colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the efficacy of erlotinib, in terms of response rate and duration of stable disease, in patients with recurrent or metastatic colorectal cancer.

II. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. III. Determine the time to progression and response duration in patients treated with this drug.

IV. Determine the relationships between clinical, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic effects of this drug in these patients.

  1. Correlate baseline and post-treatment levels of epidermal growth factor receptor, its downstream signaling components, markers of angiogenesis, and apoptosis in tumor and skin biopsies with clinical outcome in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral erlotinib once daily. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with a complete response (CR) receive 2 additional courses after CR is confirmed.

Patients are followed every 8 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 4-8 months.

Being tested
erlotinib hydrochloride, pharmacological study, laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing erlotinib hydrochloride, pharmacological study and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Colon and Adenocarcinoma of the Rectum, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in Canada.

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 50 inclusion and 0 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 15 Apr 2015. 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 Canada. 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 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?

Objective response or disease stabilization (time frame: Up to 5 years). 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 15 Apr 2015.
