About this study

Official title: Phase II, Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter Trial Of Celecoxib Vs Placebo For The Prevention Of Diarrhea Associated With CPT-11/5fu/LV Chemotherapy In Patients With Previously Untreated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

The Diarrhea Prevention with an investigational drug trial, will evaluate whether adding an investigational drug to the standard treatment for advanced colorectal cancer can reduce the amount of diarrhea a patient experiences. The standard and approved treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer is repeated cycles of chemotherapy consisting of a combination of irinotecan (also known as CPT-11, Camptosar), 5-fluorouracil (also known as 5FU), and leucovorin (also known as LV). Preclinical data from animal models suggest that the investigational drug may offer an effective means for preventing CPT-11/5FU/LV-induced diarrhea. It is also hypothesized that the investigational drug-mediated anti-angiogenesis could induce a favorable tumor response.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of NCI CTC grade 2-4 diarrhea during the first cycle (6 weeks) of CPT-11/5-FU/LV chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Severity of all grades of diarrhea, overall and by cycle

  2. Duration of diarrhea, by cycle

  3. Diarrhea grade, by day, by cycle

  4. Stool count, by day, by cycle

  5. Severity of asthenia (fatigue), by week.

  6. Asthenia will be assessed with the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) scale.

  7. Duration of asthenia, by week, as measured by the FACIT-Fatigue scale

  8. Type, frequency, severity, timing, and relatedness of all adverse events CPT-11/5-FU/LV treatment administration as characterized by median, mean, and range of doses given; dose modifications, omissions, and delays; and actual and relative dose intensity

  9. Compliance with celecoxib use Incidence, quantity, and duration of loperamide use

  10. Tumor response rate (overall and confirmed)using the World Health Organization [WHO] Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST 2000]

  11. Serum tumor marker (carcinoembryonic antigen [CEA]) response rate (as characterized by a 50% reduction from baseline)

  12. Time to tumor progression (TTP)

  13. Time to treatment failure (TTF)

  14. Survival Post-study anticancer treatment

  15. Peak plasma levels and AUC 0-24 values for CPT-11 and its major metabolites, SN-38, SN-38 glucuronide (SN-38G), and aminopentane carboxylic acid (APC)

  16. Inflammatory cytokines which may serve as biomarkers for cancer-related outcomes Beta-glucuronidase as a potential biomarker for tumor response

  17. Health resource utilization (collected data to be evaluated separately from this protocol)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Celecoxib, Irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil in people with Neoplasm Metastasis and Colorectal Neoplasms, run by Pfizer at 12 sites 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 7 inclusion and 11 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 29 Sep 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites 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?

The study was stopped early. 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?

Incidence of NCI CTC grade 2-4 diarrhea during the first cycle (6 weeks) of CPT-11/5-FU/LV chemotherapy. 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 29 Sep 2008.
