What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to first disease progression per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria or death, based on independent central radiological assessment. Participants who were alive but did not meet criteria for progression by the data cutoff date were censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.

    Progressive disease is defined as a ≥ 20% increase in the size of target lesions or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions or any new lesions.

    Measured: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 8 April 2008. Maximum follow-up time was 17 months.

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time from randomization to the date of death. Participants who had not died by the analysis data cutoff date had their time of death censored at their last contact date.

    Measured: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 30 April 2009. Maximum follow-up time was 33 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response

    Participants were evaluated for tumor response per the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria every 8 weeks until disease progression. Objective response was defined as the incidence of either a confirmed complete or partial response (CR or PR) while on study, as determined by blinded independent central review and confirmed no less than 4-weeks after the criteria for response are first met. CR: Disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions and no progression of non-target or no new lesions, or, disappearance of all target lesions and the persistence of ≥ 1 non-target lesion not qualifying for either CR or progressive disease. Participants without a post-baseline assessment were considered non-responders.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks until disease progression up to the data cut-off date of 30 April 2009. Maximum time on follow-up was 33 months.

  2. Time to Disease Progression

    Time to progression was defined as the time from the randomization date to the date of first observed disease progression per the modified RECIST criteria. Participants not meeting these criteria by the analysis data cutoff date were censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.

    Progressive disease is defined as a ≥ 20% increase in the size of target lesions or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions or any new lesions.

    Measured: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 30 April 2009. Maximum follow-up time was 33 months

  3. Duration of Response

    Calculated only for those participants with an objective response as the time from the first objective response (subsequently confirmed within no less than 4 weeks) to first observed disease progression per modified-RECIST criteria. Participants not meeting these criteria by the analysis data cutoff date were censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.

    Progressive disease is defined as a ≥ 20% increase in the size of target lesions or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions or any new lesions.

    Measured: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 30 April 2009. Maximum follow-up time was 33 months

  4. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined by regulatory authorities as one that • is fatal • is life threatening (places the subject at immediate risk of death) • requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity • is a congenital anomaly/birth defect • other significant medical hazard. The relationship of the adverse event to the study treatment was assessed by the Investigator by means of the question: "Is there a reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the study treatment?"

    Measured: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 30 April 2009. Maximum follow-up time was 33 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Panitumumab and FOLFIRI in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Amgen.

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 13 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 23 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 May 2014). 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: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 8 April 2008. Maximum follow-up time was 17 months.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00339183, which also lists 9 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 23 Sep 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
