Brief summary
Primary Objective : Compare the risk of occurrence of Grade3-4 cumulative peripheral sensory neuropathy (PSN) relative to cumulative dose of oxaliplatin between treatment group and placebo group. Main Secondary Objective : Compare the response rate (RR) between treatment group and placebo group in order to ensure that the efficacy of the chemotherapy is not compromised by the addition of xaliproden to the chemotherapeutic regimen. Other Secondary Objectives : study of the neurotoxicity parameters (Duration of oxaliplatin-induced PSN (G2,3,4); overall incidence of PSN during treatment; dose of onset of PSN ; incidence of dose-reduction and dose delay due to PSN; incidence of oxaliplatin treatment discontinuation due to PSN; change in Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)) ; study of the safety profile (other than PSN) ; study of the chemotherapy efficacy (progression free survival, overall survival).

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Main inclusion criteria : * Histologically or cytologically-proven metastatic cancer of the colon or rectum. * Metastatic disease not amenable to potentially curative treatment (eg: inoperable metastatic disease). * Male or female aged \>18 years. * WHO Performance Status (PS) : 0 or 1. * Measurable disease. * No prior chemotherapeutic regimen for metastatic disease. * Disease-free interval from end of adjuvant therapy of at least 6 months (1 year if oxaliplatin was part of the adjuvant therapy). * Prior radiotherapy is permitted if it was not administered to target lesions identified for this study - unless progression within the radiation portal is documented - and provided it has been completed at least 3 weeks before randomization. * Signed written informed consent prior to study entry.
