Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Prior to accrual on the trial, patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer will be treated with palliative chemotherapy. And patients who achieve a partial response or stable disease by imaging criteria will receive maintenance chemotherapy. In our study, these group patients will be randomized to maintenance chemotherapy or consolidative radiotherapy to all sites of disease (followed by maintenance chemotherapy at the medical oncologist's discretion). Choices of palliative and maintenance chemotherapy will be determined by the medical oncologist based on clinical appropriateness.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression free survival
Time Frame: 2 years
Evaluate the effect of consolidative radiotherapy with or without maintenance chemotherapy versus maintenance chemotherapy alone on progression free survival
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Toxicities
Time Frame: 2 years
Acute toxicity was scored according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0 criteria during and up to 3 months after radiotherapy. Late toxicity was graded using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG)/European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) criteria.
2 years
Actuarial rate in-field local control
Time Frame: 2 years
To describe the actuarial rate in-field local control and rate of out-of-field disease progression
2 years
Overall survival
Time Frame: 5 years
To evaluate overall survival after consolidative radiotherapy followed by maintenance chemotherapy in comparison to maintenance chemotherapy alone.
