A Study of Xeloda (Capecitabine) in Combination With Avastin + Short Course Chemotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

Status: Recruiting

Protocol number: ML21567

Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche

Company division: Pharmaceutical

Official Scientific Title: A randomized, open label study of the effect of first line treatment with Xeloda in combination with Avastin and either short course irinotecan or short course oxaliplatin on progression-free survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer

Brief summary: This 2 arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 treatment regimens of Xeloda and Avastin, with either irinotecan or oxaliplatin administered for the first 12 cycles, as first line treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive 2-weekly cycles of treatment with either 1)Xeloda (1000mg/m2 po bid on days 1-7), Avastin (5mg/kg iv on day 1) and oxaliplatin (85mg/m2 on day 1, only in cycles 1-12) or 2)Xeloda (1000mg/m2 po bid on days 1-7), Avastin (5mg/kg iv on day 1) and irinotecan (135mg/m2 on day 1, only in cycles 1-12). After 9 cycles, patients will continue to receive maintenance treatment with Xeloda + Avastin. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals. Target sample size is 230.
