Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Investigation of the effect of combination treatment with capecitabine and gemcitabin for treatment resistant metastatic colorectal cancer reflected as the rate of patients with stable disease (defined as absence of progression after 3 months of treatment).;Secondary Objective: • To investigate progression free survival related to treatment with capecitabine og gemcitabin. • To investigate total survival related to treatment with capecitabine og gemcitabin • To investigate the tolerability of capecitabine and gemcitabin treatment • To indentify prognostic and predictive markers for treatment with capecitabine and gemcitabin. ;Primary end point(s): • The fraction of patients with absence of disease progression after 3 months of treament assessed by CT and/or MR scan and evaluated according to RECIST version 1.1.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 3 months of treatment. If no sign of progression, continued evaluation every 3 months until progression.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Tolerabilitet: Kliniske og laboratoriemæssige AE (Adverse Events) vil blive graderet i henhold til NCI-CTCAE (version 4.0). • Progressionsfri overlevelse (PFS), defineret som tid beregnet fra dato for første behandlingsdag til først dokumenterede progression eller død uanset årsag. • Overall survival (OS), defineret som tid beregnet fra første behandlingsdag til død. • Translational research: Resultaterne af biomarkøranalyser sammenlignes med data for respons, PFS og OS samt korreleres til toksicitetsoplysninger og øvrige patient¬karakteristika.
