Official title: A Phase II Study of Aroplatin in Subjects With Recurrent, Unresectable and Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Refractory to 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)/Leucovorin or Capecitabine, and Irinotecan

To determine the rate of response and duration of reponse following therapy with Aroplatin in subjects with advanced colorectal cancer resistant to standard therapies. Secondary objectives are to determine safety and tolerability of the Aroplatin therapy.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective:

  • To determine response rate (RR; complete and partial response[CR,PR] and duration after therapy with Aroplatin (Liposomal NDDP, L-NDDP) in subjects with locally recurrent, unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer refractory to 5-FU/leucovorin or capecitabine, and irinotecan.

Secondary Objective:

  • To determine safety and tolerability of the Aroplatin therapy.

This is a single-arm, open-label phase II study. Subjects refractory to 5-FU/leucovorin or capecitabine, and irinotecan therapies will be enrolled. Dosing will be every four weeks with individual dose escalations and adjustments for toxicity.

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?

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.

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 24 Jun 2005.
