A Study of Xeloda (Capecitabine) in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Status: Completed
Protocol number: NO16967
Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche
Company division: Pharmaceutical
Official Scientific Title: A randomized, open-label study of the effect of intermittent Xeloda versus iv fluorouracil/leucovorin, both in combination with Eloxatin, on tumor progression in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who received prior CPT-11 and 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin
Brief summary: This 2 arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of intermittent oral Xeloda, or iv fluorouracil/leucovorin, in combination with intravenous Eloxatin (oxaliplatin) in patients previously treated for metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive either 1)XELOX (Xeloda 1000mg/m2 po bid on days 1-15 + oxaliplatin) in 3 week cycles or 2) FOLFOX-4 (oxaliplatin + leucovorin + 5-FU in 2 week cycles. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
Target sample size is
610.
