Inclusion criteria

  • Clinical Diagnosis of colon or rectal cancer
  • No prior systemic therapy for disease. Any /neoadjuvant oxaliplatin therapy must have been received >12 months prior to study entry and adjuvant/neoadjuvant 5-FU must have been received >6 months prior to study entry.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior treatment with a VEGF Inhibitor, including bevacizumab and cediranib.
  • Poorly controlled hypertension
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Adjuvant and neoadjuvant

Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression Free Survival

    Progression is defined as the number of months from randomisation until progressive disease based on RECIST (progression of target lesions, clear progression of existing non-target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions) or death in the absence of progression.

    Time frame: Baseline then at Weeks 8, 16, 24 and then every 12 weeks until progression

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival

    Number of months from randomisation to the date of death from any cause

    Time frame: Randomisation until data cut-off

  2. Objective Response Rate

    Objective response rate is Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) as defined below: CR = Disappearance of all target lesions. PR = At least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameters (LDs) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of LDs.

    Time frame: Up until data cut-off

  3. Duration of Response

    Duration of Response is calculated as the time from the first recording of CR/PR until the patient progresses, regardless of whether the patient was still taking study medication. Only confirmed responses are included in the calculation. For patients who had not progressed, the end date used in the calculation of duration of response is the data cut-off date of 15th November 2009.

    Time frame: Up until data cut-off date of 15/11/2007

  4. Percentage Change in Tumour Size

    Percentage change in tumour size from baseline to first RECIST assessment (Week 8) ((Week 8 - baseline)/baseline)\*100

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 8

  5. Time to Worsening of Health Related Quality of Life (QOL) Based on the FACT Colorectal Symptom Index (FCSI)

    Time to worsening of symptoms, as measured by the FACT colorectal symptom index (FCSI), will be defined as the time when a sustained clinically important deterioration in the total score from the FCSI has been recorded.

    Time frame: Baseline through to data cut-off
