Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Metastatic Unresectable Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't intended to be a substitute for qualified medical advice, visits or professional assistance by using a real mD. We are not docs. Always confer with your physician about Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Metastatic Unresectable Colorectal Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Metastatic Unresectable Colorectal Cancer Clinical research trials and Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Metastatic Unresectable Colorectal Cancer health trials occur in many of cities throughout the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally evaluate the effectivity of new does drugs. The intent of the studies / undertakings is to resolve particular human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to detect remedies for all sorts of conditions, including Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Metastatic Unresectable Colorectal Cancer. Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Metastatic Unresectable Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to obtain healthcare treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Most times the participants undergo professional assistance for without cost, and occasionally they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Metastatic Unresectable Colorectal Cancer clinical trial. Test subjects typically receive the most expert healthcare available for their Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Metastatic Unresectable Colorectal Cancer condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include more or frequent mD visits, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-endangering), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Metastatic Unresectable Colorectal Cancer



Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Metastatic Unresectable Colorectal Cancer

For Condition: adenocarcinoma of the rectum,Stage 4 rectal cancer,recurrent colon cancer,stage 4 colon cancer,recurrent rectal cancer,adenocarcinoma of the colon
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): GERCOR ,
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining fluorouracil and leucovorin with irinotecan in treating patients who have recurrent or refractorymetastaticunresectablecolorectal cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: Primary - Determine the time to progression and time to death from progression in patients with recurrent or refractory metastatic unresectable colorectal cancer treated with fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and irinotecan. Secondary - Determine the objective response and stabilization rate in patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the time to treatment failure in patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the duration of response in patients treated with this regimen. - Determine overall survival rate in patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the incidence of grade 3 or 4 toxicity in patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study. Patients receive leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours on day 1, irinotecan IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 3, and fluorouracil IV continuously over 46 hours beginning on day 1. Courses repeat every 2 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 78 patients will be accrued for this study within 18 months.
