About this study

Official title: Phase 4 Study to Characterize and Evaluate Markers of Chemoresistance in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tumor tissue in the laboratory from patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy may help doctors understand the effect of chemotherapy on biomarkers. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This phase IV trial is studying biomarkers in patients undergoing chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Research the oncogenetic parameters and pharmacogenetic and pharmacokinetic predictors of therapeutic response and toxic effects.

Secondary

  • Study the correlations between the pharmacogenetic and pharmacokinetic parameters.
  • Study the predictive value of these parameters on disease-free and overall survival.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive 1 of 4 chemotherapy regimens:

  • Regimen 1: Fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium
  • Regimen 2: Capecitabine and leucovorin calcium
  • Regimen 3: Irinotecan hydrochloride
  • Regimen 4: Oxaliplatin Tumor and blood samples are collected before the start of chemotherapy and are examined by pharmacogenetic analysis. Clinical and biological parameters are also studied. Blood samples are also collected during the first course of chemotherapy for pharmacokinetic studies.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically for 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing capecitabine, fluorouracil and irinotecan hydrochloride in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Centre Hospital Regional Universitaire de Limoges at 1 site 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 16 May 2011. 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 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Oncogenetic parameters. 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 NCT00559676, 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 16 May 2011.
