Trial summary

Bevacizumab is an angiogenesis inhibitor which means it works to stop blood vessel formation in tumors. Without new blood vessels, the growth of a tumor is slowed. Chemotherapy works to kill cancer cells directly. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Clinical Trial of Bevacizumab Combined With Capecitabine and Either Oxaliplatin or Irinotecan as First Line Treatment for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Bevacizumab is an angiogenesis inhibitor which means it works to stop blood vessel formation in tumors. Without new blood vessels, the growth of a tumor is slowed. Chemotherapy works to kill cancer cells directly. This study is being done to see how colorectal cancer responds to treatment with the combination of bevacizumab and chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Due to greater patient convenience and favorable toxicity profiles, clinical practice has seen an increased use of the combinations of capecitabine with oxaliplatin (CAPOX) and capecitabine with irinotecan (CAPIRI). Given the data documenting the improved efficacy for 5-FU based chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab, it is important to investigate the potential advantages of adding this agent to regimens containing capecitabine.

What participants receive

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

  • BevacizumabDrug

    Also called Avastin

    7.5 mg/kg IV Day 1 every 21 days for eight cycles*

    *For patients with stable or responding disease after 8 cycles, continue bevacizumab at the same dose levels until disease progression.

  • OxaliplatinDrug

    Also called Eloxatin

    130 mg/m2 IV Day 1 every 21 days for eight cycles

  • CapecitabineDrug

    Also called Xeloda

    850 mg/m2 po BID Days 1-14 every 21 days for eight cycles*#

    *For patients with stable or responding disease after 8 cycles, continue capecitabine at the same dose levels until disease progression.

    #For patients with baseline calculated creatinine clearance of 30-50 mL/min, the starting dose will be reduced to 650 mg/m2 BID

  • IrinotecanDrug

    Also called Camptosar

    200 mg/m2 IV Day 1 every 21 days for eight cycles

What is being measured

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

  1. One-year Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Outcome measure was not assessed due to early study closure. The study was closed early due to low enrollment and new information regarding the benefit of the study regimen.

    Measured: Unevaluable - accrual ended early due to slow accrual rate and before accrual goal was met.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Objective Response Rate

    Measured: Unevaluable - accrual ended early due to slow accrual rate and before accrual goal was met.

  2. Toxicity - Adverse Events

    Measured: Assessments before each cycle of chemotherapy, after every third dose of bevacizumab (if given alone), and final adverse event assessment 3 months after the last dose of bevacizumab

  3. Overall Survival

    Measured: Unevaluable - accrual ended early due to slow accrual rate and before accrual goal was met.

  4. Duration of Response

    Measured: Unevaluable - accrual ended early due to slow accrual rate and before accrual goal was met.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab, Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine in people with Colorectal Neoplasms, run by NSABP Foundation Inc 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 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2021. 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 2 Dec 2008). 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?

One-year Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Unevaluable - accrual ended early due to slow accrual rate and before accrual goal was met.). 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 6 Oct 2021.
