What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT00585078
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CAPOXExperimentalParticipants self-administered capecitabine 1,000 mg/m2 orally twice daily (total daily dose 2,000 mg/m2), days 1-14 in 21-day cycles. Only 500 mg tablets were used, and doses were rounded to the nearest dose that could be administered with 500 mg tablets. Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 was administered intravenously on day 1 every 21 (±2) days. Treatment continued until tumor progression or toxicity requiring discontinuation of therapy.
Receives: Drug: Capecitabine; Drug: Oxaliplatin

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate

    Response rate (RR) is defined as the proportion of participants achieving partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) based on RECIST 1.0 criteria on treatment. Per RECIST 1.0 for target lesions, CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. To be assigned a status of CR or PR, changes in tumor measurements must be confirmed by repeat assessments performed no fewer than 4 weeks after the response criteria are first met. PR or better overall response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions.

    Measured: Response was assessed by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) every two cycles (42 days ±2 days) on treatment. Participants received a median (range) of 2 cycles (1-12) of CAPOX.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Best Response

    Best response on treatment was based on RECIST 1.0 criteria: Complete Response (CR) is complete disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. Both require confirmation no fewer than 4 weeks apart. CR/PR assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions. Progressive disease (PD) is at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. PD for the evaluation of non-target lesions is the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. Stable disease is defined as any condition not meeting above criteria.

    Measured: Response was assessed by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) every two cycles (42 days ±2 days) on treatment. Participants received a median (range) of 2 cycles (1-12) of CAPOX.

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is defined as the time from study entry to death or date last known alive and estimated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) methods.

    Measured: Participants were followed long-term for survival every 3 months from the end of treatment until death or lost to follow-up. Median survival follow-up was 10.8 months (95% CI: 7.1-37.7) in this study cohort.

  3. Progression-Free Survival

    Progression-free survival based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the duration of time from study entry to documented disease progression (PD) requiring removal from treatment or death. Per RECIST 1.0 criteria: progressive disease (PD) is at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. PD for the evaluation of non-target lesions is the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions.

    Measured: Disease evaluations occurred every two cycles (42 days ±2 days) on treatment. In this study cohort, participants were followed for progression up to 38 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center 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 7 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 10 Apr 2017. 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 10 Apr 2017). 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?

Response Rate (time frame: Response was assessed by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) every two cycles (42 days ±2 days) on treatment. Participants received a median (range) of 2 cycles (1-12) of CAPOX.). 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 10 Apr 2017.
