About this study
Official title: Phase II Randomized Controlled Trial of FOLFOXIRI Compared to FOLFOX in First Line Treatment of Chemo-naive Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
The purpose of the study is to evaluate if the exposure to all the three active cytotoxic agents (FOLFOXIRI regimen) is superior in terms of progression-free survival to conventional chemotherapy with the FOLFOX regimen as first-line treatment of chemo-naive metastatic colorectal cancer patients.
A second primary aim is to evaluate the response rate, safety and tolerability of the chemotherapy of FOLFOXIRI regimen in this patient population.
Patients will be randomized to two therapy groups:
Experimental arm A: Chemotherapy with FOLFOXIRI Standard arm B: Chemotherapy with FOLFOX
Read the detailed description
Survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer is correlated with the proportion of patients who receive all the three active drugs , but not with the proportion of patients who receive any second-line therapy. A superior efficacy in PFS,ORR and OS of FOLFOXIRI has been reported with acceptable toxicity. Moreover,evidence suggests that continuous dosing metronomic chemotherapy may be more efficacious than interval-chemotherapy.
Therefore, a way to improve the outcome of metastatic colorectal cancer patients could be to administer a maintenance first-line regimen containing the three active agents.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing FOLFOXIRI and FOLFOX in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.
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 16 inclusion and 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2014. 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 China. 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?
Contact Yanhong Deng, M.D. (008613925106525, 13925106525@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progression-free survival after induction and maintenance chemotherapy (PFS1) (time frame: up to 18 months). 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 7 May 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
