What is being measured

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

  1. Best Overall Tumor Response

    Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria that defines when participants improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable"), or worsen ("progression") during treatment.

    Complete response (CR) = disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR) = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Progressive disease (PD) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Stable disease (SD) = small changes that do not meet above criteria.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 2 years follow-up)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Duration of Response

    The duration of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of progression or death as a result of any cause. Response was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria that defines when participants improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable"), or worsen ("progression") during treatment.

    Complete response (CR) = disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR) = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: time of response to progressive disease or death (up to 2 years follow-up)

  2. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Defined as the time from study enrollment to the first date of disease progression or death as a result of any cause. PFS was censored at the date of the last follow-up visit for participants who were still alive and who had not progressed.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease or death (up to 2 years follow-up)

  3. Time to Treatment Failure

    Defined as the time from study enrollment to the first observation of disease progression, death as a result of any cause, or early discontinuation of treatment. Time to treatment failure was censored at the date of the last follow-up visit for patients who did not discontinue early, who were still alive, and who have not progressed.

    Measured: baseline to stopping treatment (up to 2 years follow-up)

  4. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is the duration from enrollment to death. For patients who are alive, overall survival is censored at the last contact.

    Measured: baseline to date of death from any cause (up to 2 years follow-up)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pemetrexed and irinotecan in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 5 sites in France.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 5 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France. 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 15 Jun 2009). 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?

Best Overall Tumor Response (time frame: baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 2 years follow-up)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00191984, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Jan 2011.
