CONCEPT: Comparison of Oxaliplatin vs Conventional Methods With Calcium/Magnesium in First-Line Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

A Phase 4 interventional study of oxaliplatin in Colorectal Cancer, sponsored by Sanofi. Terminated at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2009-02-13.

Sponsored by Sanofi · Phase 4, Interventional, and Treatment

Why this study was terminated
Unplanned interim analysis by DSMB indicated possible reduced response rate with the addition of Ca/Mg in pooled population. Further analysis pending.

Study summary

The primary rationale for this study is to develop an optimized schedule of administration of FOLFOX + bevacizumab that maximizes the efficacy and safety of this regimen when administered to patients with advanced colorectal cancer. The hypothesis is that the use of an intermittent oxaliplatin (IO) schedule of FOLFOX/bevacizumab will allow these patients to continue on treatment for a longer period of time by reducing the proportion of patients who discontinue therapy early because of treatment-related toxicities and thus increasing the possibility of a longer time to progression.

The primary objective is:

  • To test the hypothesis that an intermittent oxaliplatin (IO) schedule of FOLFOX/bevacizumab will allow patients to remain on therapy for a longer period of time compared to a conventional "treat-to-failure" schedule, by reducing the proportion of patients who discontinue therapy for treatment-related toxicities.

The secondary objectives are:

  • To evaluate the impact of calcium/magnesium infusions on the incidence and severity of neurotoxicity in subjects receiving either the IO or conventional FOLFOX/bevacizumab treatment schedules as first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the IO versus the conventional schedule + calcium and magnesium infusions, as part of oxaliplatin-based first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer.

Interventions

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Time to treatment failure (TTF) for the conventional oxaliplatin (CO) schedule in comparison with the intermittent oxaliplatin (IO) schedule

Secondary outcomes

  1. The incidence of adverse events, including neurotoxicity, as determined using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0)

  2. Quality of life, including oxaliplatin-specific neurologic symptoms determined using the PNQoxali

  3. Tumor response rate (overall and confirmed) based on application of the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

  4. Time to tumor progression (TTP)

  5. Time of tumor control (TTC)

  6. Overall survival (OS)

  7. Reasons for treatment discontinuation
