About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine in the Treatment of Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Carcinoma of Unknown Primary Site

In this phase II trial, we will evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the oxaliplatin/capecitabine combination in patients who have had one previous chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of carcinoma of unknown primary site. Patients who are relapsed after a previous response to treatment will be eligible, as well as those who were refractory to first-line therapy.

Read the detailed description

All patients received treatment with oxaliplatin 130mg/m2, given intravenously on day 1 of each 21 day cycle. Capecitabine 1000mg/m2 PO BID was administered on days 1-14 of each cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival

    Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival

    Length of time, in months, that patients were alive from their first date of protocol treatment until death.

    Measured: 18 months

A Phase 2 study testing Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine in people with Neoplasms, Unknown Primary, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 10 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 10 inclusion and 10 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 11 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Oct 2013). 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 (time frame: 18 months). 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 NCT00193609, 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 11 Nov 2013.
