Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
Triplets of irinotecan, oxaliplatin and infusional 5-fluorouracil(FU)/leucovorin (LV) are associated with high response rates and long survival as first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The oral fluoropyrimidine, capecitabine, is better tolerated and shows better response rates than 5-FU/LV in metastatic colorectal cancer. A phase I dose-escalation study established dose limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II doses (RPIID) of irinotecan, oxaliplatin and capecitabine. This phase I /II study is to determine dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), phase II recommended dose (RD) of IXO and bevacizumab combination and safety at the RD in an expanded cohort.
Interventions
Phase I study - identifies the safety of IXO with bevacizumab and recommended phase II dose Phase II study - assesses efficacy and safety of IXO with bevacizumab

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Phase I: Assess the MTD and RD for phase II of IXO and bevacizumab combination given every 3 weeks in 1st line patients with mCRC | 3-week cycle, continuous monitoring of AE |
| Phase II: Using the RD established in phase I, assess efficacy of the IXO with bevacizumab combination as measured by progression-free survival | 3-week cycle, continuous monitoring of AE |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Qualitative and quantitative toxicity | continuous |
| Overall survival | continuous |
| Response rates and duration of response | every 2 cycles - 6 weeks |
