About this study

Official title: Drug-Eluting Bead, Irinotecan (DEBIRI) Therapy of Liver Metastasis From Colon Cancer With Concomitant Systemic Oxaliplatin, Fluorouracil and Leucovorin Chemotherapy, and Anti-Angiogenic Therapy

This is a multicentre, open labeled, controlled phase study designed to assess effectiveness of chemoembolization with LC Beads, both with and without systemic chemotherapy, in the treatment of unresectable liver metastases in patients with colorectal cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor Response

    Tumor response will be determined using Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST). Response will classified as: Complete response - disappearance of all lesions; Partial response - at least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameter or 30% reduction of arterial enhancement; Progressive disease - at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest longest diameter recorded since start of treatment or appearance of one or more new lesions greater than 1cm in size; Stable disease - neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter since start of treatment.

    Measured: Months 2, 4 and 6

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Serious Adverse Events

    Total number of serious adverse events that occurred in both Arms of the study.

    Measured: First treatment through one year post treatment completion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing LC beads loaded with Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin and Leucovorin in people with Colon Cancer With Metastases to the Liver, run by University of Louisville at 10 sites in 2 countries.

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 15 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 11 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, Argentina. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 7 May 2021). 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?

Tumor Response (time frame: Months 2, 4 and 6). 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 11 Jun 2021.
