We are not physicians. Always consult your dr. about BMS-247550 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. BMS-247550 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Clinical research trials and BMS-247550 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer health trials happen in many of localities throughout the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically measure the effectualness of new drugs. The function of the studies / projects is to resolve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all varieties of circumstances, like BMS-247550 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer. BMS-247550 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain healthcare treatment options before they are available to the masses. Some times the participants undergo professional assistance for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a BMS-247550 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer clinical trial. Human subjects often get the best healthcare available for their BMS-247550 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include additional or frequent mD visits, healthcare dangers (potentially life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

BMS-247550 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer



BMS-247550 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

For Condition: recurrent colon cancer,recurrent rectal cancer,Stage 4 rectal cancer,stage 4 colon cancer,adenocarcinoma of the rectum,adenocarcinoma of the colon
Status: Suspended
Sponsor(s): National Cancer Institute (NCI) , UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of BMS-247550 in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the clinical activity of BMS-247550, as measured by the tumor response rate, in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer previously treated with a fluoropyrimidine and irinotecan. II. Determine the safety of this drug in these patients. III. Determine the response duration, time to progression, and survival in patients treated with this drug. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive BMS-247550 IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 18 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) receive up to 4 additional courses of treatment beyond CR. Patients are followed every 3 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 19-55 patients will be accrued for this study within 6 months.
