About this study

Official title: Characterization and Research of Predictive Markers of Neurotoxicity During Treatment With Oxaliplatin in Colorectal Carcinoma: a Genetic and Proteomic Approach. Phase II Multicenter Study

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients receiving oxaliplatin for cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to neurotoxicity.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying biomarkers in predicting neurotoxicity in patients with colorectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Correlate predictive genetic, proteomic, and/or neurotrophic markers with neurological manifestations related to the administration of oxaliplatin in patients with colorectal carcinoma.

Secondary

  • Differentiate between risk factors predictive of acute and chronic neurotoxicity.
  • Establish a possible relationship between acute and chronic neurotoxicity.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oxaliplatin every 2 weeks as part of a FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen.

Blood samples are collected 15 days prior to beginning chemotherapy, prior to each course of chemotherapy, and at 1 month after completion of chemotherapy for pharmacogenetic and laboratory biological studies. Patients with chronic neurotoxicity undergo additional blood sample collection at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after completion of chemotherapy. Samples are analyzed for the detection of gene variants involved in the oxalate and fluorouracil metabolic pathway; neurotrophic factors; proteomic analysis of plasma proteins and peptides; and for biological testing of neurotoxicity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing FOLFOX regimen, fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium in people with Chemotherapeutic Agent Toxicity and Colorectal Cancer, run by Institut Cancerologie de l'Ouest 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jul 2009. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation of genetic profiles and peptide, protein, and neurotrophic factors with neurological toxicity. 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 8 Jul 2009.
