Cap+Bev vs Cap+Iri+Bev 1st-line Therapy in mCRC

March 11, 2011 updated by: Ludwig-Maximilians - University of Munich

Randomized, Open, Multicenter Phase III Study With Capecitabine Plus Bevacizumab Versus Capecitabine Plus Irinotecan Plus Bevacizumab as First-line Therapy in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Patient with multiple metastases, not eligible for surgery, might not profit from intensive chemotherapy regimens. Therefore less intensive regimens focusing on survival and disease control may be a better choice for first line treatment. Therefore this study investigates the combination of capecitabine and bevacizumab versus the combination of capecitabine, bevacizumab and irinotecan. In case of progressive disease, the therapy in patients treated with capecitabine and bevacizumab is intensified by adding irinotecan. Primary endpoint is time-of-failure strategy (TFS) comparing both treatment arms.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
