About this study

Official title: Essai De Phase III De Chimiotherapie Par FOLFOX 4 Ou Par Une Succession FOLFOX 7 - FOLFIRI Chez Des Patients Ayant Des Metastases Resecables D'Origine Colorectale - MIROX

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different combination chemotherapy regimens to compare how well they work in treating patients with colorectal cancer and resectable metastases.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the 2-year disease-free survival rate in patients treated with these regimens.

Secondary

  • Compare the overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the tolerability of these regimens in these patients.
  • Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the objective response rate, postoperative complication rate, and transfusing rate in patients having metastasis surgery,
  • Determine the pharmacogenetics of these regimens in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter phase III study. Patients are stratified according to prior chemotherapy (perioperative vs postoperative), prior treatment (surgery only vs radiotherapy with or without surgery), and Blumgart score (0-1 vs 2-3 vs 4-5). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I (FOLFOX 4): Patients receive FOLFOX 4 combination chemotherapy comprising oxaliplatin 85mg/m² IV over 2 hours, leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours, fluorouracil IV bolus /15min and fluorouracil continuously over 22 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Arm II (FOLFOX 7 and FOLFIRI): Patients receive FOLFOX 7 combination chemotherapy comprising high-dose oxaliplatin 130mg/m² IV over 2 hours and leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours on day 1 and fluorouracil IV over 46 hours on days 1 and 2. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive FOLFIRI combination chemotherapy comprising irinotecan hydrochloride 180mg/m² IV over 30-90 minutes and leucovorin calcium and fluorouracil IV bolus /15min on day 1, and fluorouracil IV continuously over 46 hours on days 1 and 2. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients in both arms who have undergone prior resection of metastatic lesions may undergo surgery after 6 courses of chemotherapy or after chemotherapy is completed.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and after courses 4, 8, and 12.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 284 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing oxaliplatin, folinic acid, fluorouracil and oxaliplatin, irinotecan, folinic acid, fluorouracil in people with Colorectal Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by GERCOR - Multidisciplinary Oncology Cooperative Group at 32 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?

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 22 May 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 32 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

disease-free survival (time frame: 2-year). 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 NCT00268398, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 May 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
