Filter by:This study uses the drug PPX (also called Xyotax and CT-2103) in women with advanced colorectal cancer. PPX is an experimental drug that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). PPX has been shown in the laboratory and in studies in humans to cause some cancer cells to die and some tumors to shrink. Women in some studies with PPX have been shown to live longer than the men that receive the drug. Some studies in humans suggest that estrogen (a hormone found in women) may protect women from getting colorectal cancer and allow women that do get colorectal cancer to live longer than men that do. The purpose of this study is to see if women with colorectal cancer and a certain level of estrogen experience tumor shrinkage after they receive the drug PPX. This study will also study genes (genes are the cell's blueprint) in participant's tumors and in their blood. Several genes can affect how people's bodies react to the cancer drugs. We want to see if these predict response to the study drugs.
Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) who have failed a first-line chemotherapeutic regimen containing oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) with or without bevacizumab, with or without other Investigational Medicinal Products (IMPs), will receive CP-4055 200 mg/m2/day intravenously (IV) on Day 1-5 every four weeks until complete response or disease worsening/progressing.
This phase II study will evaluate the effect of bevacizumab, capecitabine and oxaliplatin with radiation on rectal cancer. Researchers will also evaluate the tolerability (how it makes the patient feel) and safety of this combination by watching for harmful side-effects.It is hoped that by adding bevacizumab to the capecitabine/oxaliplatin treatment in combination with radiation before surgery will improve response rate.
Primary objective:To assess the efficacy, defined as overall survival, of sequential versus combination chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). Methodology Open, randomised multicenter phase III study. Randomisation by centre will be centralized. 820 patiënts with histologically proven advanced CRC; not amenable to curative surgery. Measurable or evaluable disease. Age 18 years and above. WHO performance status 0-2. Test products: Arm A: First line: capecitabine capecitabine 1250 mg/m2 orally b.i.d. on day 1-14 (q3),until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Second line: irinotecan 350 mg/m2 IV infusion on day 1 (q3),until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Third line: oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 IV infusion on day 1 and capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 orally b.i.d. on day 1-14 (q3). Arm B: First line: irinotecan 250 mg/m2 IV infusion in 30 minutes on day 1 and capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 orally b.i.d. on day 1-14 (q3), until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Second line: oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 IV on day 1 and capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 orally b.i.d. on day 1-14 (q3), until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients will be followed by CT-scan every 9 weeks for response while on treatment, or at any other moment when progression is suspected. After cessation of chemotherapy, patients will be followed every 3 months until death. Clinical and laboratory toxicity/symptomatology will be graded according to NCI common criteria.
