About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of the A-ICOX Regimen Consisting of Bevacizumab (Avastinâ), Intermittent Dose Capecitabine (Xelodaâ) and Oxaliplatin (Eloxatinâ) in Patients With Untreated Advanced Colorectal Cancer

This is a Phase II study of the drug combination of Oxaliplatin, Avastin and capecitabine. This is an open-label study.

Read the detailed description

Ongoing clinical trials are now evaluating the addition of bevacizumab to standard chemotherapeutic regimens for colorectal cancer such as FOLFOX or FOLFIRI. In these studies the addition of bevacizumab has been safe and has not resulted in significantly increased toxicity. Our proposed regimen has the advantage of being easily administered in the outpatient setting, with potential for enhanced activity and needs to be evaluated in a clinical trial.

The patterns of care for CRC have shifted, IFL previously the standard of care, is now proven to be an inferior regimen compared to FOLFOX4. (8) The recent FDA approval in February 2004 of bevacizumab for first line therapy, which states that bevacizumab is an approved agent in combination with a 5-FU regimen, gives no clear guidelines as to the "best regimen". This is an issue that needs to be evaluated rapidly in clinical trials, and it is clear that a combination of 5-FU or capecitabine with oxaliplatin and bevacizumab is one of the most active and well-tolerated regimens. The optimum sequence, schedule and doses needs to determined in clinical trials.

What participants receive

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

  • BevacizumabDrug

    Also called Capecitabine 2500 mg/m2/d in two divided doses, (May be 2000 or 3000 mg/m2/d after interim analysis) Days 1-8, every 2 weeks Until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 IV q 2 weekly Until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity,, or Grade 3 neuropathy or cumulative dose of 1200 mg/m2

    Bevacizumab 5 mg/kg by 90-30 minute IV infusion IV q 2 weekly Until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

  • CapecitabineDrug

    Capecitabine will be administered orally at twice daily 1250 mg/m2 (equivalent to a total daily dose of 2500 mg/m2) as intermittent therapy (1 week of treatment followed by one week without treatment) and this cycle repeated every 14 days. The first dose of capecitabine will be given on day 1 of each cycle as evening dose and the last dose will be given on day 8 as morning dose (for a total of 14 single doses per cycle).

  • OxaliplatinDrug

    Oxaliplatin will be administered at the dose of 85 mg/m2 given as a 2-hour intravenous infusion on day 1 of a two-week cycle, prior to the first dose of capecitabine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab, Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin in people with Cancer, run by University of Pittsburgh 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2016. 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 12 Jul 2016). 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?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Up to 27 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 12 Jul 2016.
