Brief summary

This 2-arm study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 treatment regimens of Xeloda and Avastin, with either irinotecan or oxaliplatin administered for the first 12 cycles, as first line treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients were randomized to receive 2-weekly cycles of treatment with either: 1) Xeloda, Avastin and oxaliplatin; or 2) Xeloda, Avastin and irinotecan. After 9 cycles, patients continued to receive maintenance treatment with Xeloda + Avastin. The anticipated time on study treatment was until disease progression, and the target sample size was 100-500 individuals.

Outcome results

Primary

Progression-free Survival (PFS) in U.S. Patients Only

PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first documented occurrence of disease progression or death due to any cause.

Time frame: From first patient enrolled up to approximately 48 months

Population: This study was terminated early because interim data from a predecessor study invalidated the scientific rationale that provided justification for the conduct of this study. Efficacy analyses were not performed.
