December 15, 2009 updated by: Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust

A Phase II Trial of Fixed Dose Rate Gemcitabine in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Previous lines of treatment recorded. Adjuvant and palliative.

Treatment will continue until clinical indication due to PD or toxicity, or until completion of 6 cycles of gemcitabine, whichever comes first.

All patients will be assessed for toxicity and followed up for disease recurrence/progression.

The study will be divided into two accrual stages - the first consisting of 17 patients. If 6 or more patients achieve tumour response or stabilisation in the first stage, the second stage will commence accrual of a further 20 patients. Hence, the total planned accrual will be 37 patients.
