A Study of Avastin (Bevacizumab) in Combination With Xeloda (Capecitabine) in Elderly Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.
Status: Recruiting
Protocol number: MO19286
Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche
Company division: Pharmaceutical
Official Scientific Title: A randomized, open-label study to evaluate the effect of Avastin in combination with Xeloda on progression-free survival in elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
Brief summary: This 2 arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of Avastin in combination with Xeloda, compared with Xeloda alone, in elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive either Avastin (7.5mg/kg iv on day 1 of each 3 week cycle), in combination with Xeloda (1000mg/m2 po bid on days 1-14 of each 3 week cycle), or Xeloda (1000mg/m2 po bid on days 1-14 of each 3 week cycle) alone. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals. Target sample size is 430.
