Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

This is a prospective, multi-center, single arm, phase II study. In this study, the low-dose initial dose incremental optimization scheme was used in the first cycle in patients ≥65 years old who need to receive fruquintinib. The aim is to observe the safety, tolerability and efficacy of fruquintinib in elderly patients with mCRC refractory to standard treatment. The correlation between the efficacy, toxicity and geriatric evaluation of fruquintinib will also be analysed.

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

65 years and older (Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Experimental: Fruquintinib dose-optimization
Fruquintinib was administered orally on 21 consecutive days in a 28-day treatment cycle. All patients were dose-optimized for the first cycle of fruquintinib - oral fruquintinib 3 mg/day in the first week; if tolerated, oral fruquintinib 4 mg/day in the second week; if still tolerated, then the dose was increased to 5 mg/day in the third week. From the second cycle, patients were given the maximum dose that they have tolerated in the first cycle.
Drug: Fruquintinib
Fruquintinib was administered for 21 consecutive days of a 28-day treatment cycle. The starting dose of fruquintinib was 3 mg/day, weekly incremental dose escalation occurred up to the maximum of 5 mg/day if no significant drug-related toxicities were observed. The highest tolerated dose from cycle 1 would be administered in cycle 2 and all subsequent cycles.

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
PFS
Time Frame: about a year
Progression-free survival is determined from the date of treatment to PD or death from any cause
about a year

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.
