SU5416 and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced 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 SU5416 and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. SU5416 and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer Clinical research trials and SU5416 and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced 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 SU5416 and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer. SU5416 and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced 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 SU5416 and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer clinical trial. Test subjects typically receive the most expert healthcare available for their SU5416 and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced 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.

SU5416 and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer



SU5416 and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer

For Condition: recurrent rectal cancer,stage 3 rectal cancer,adenocarcinoma of the rectum,Stage 4 rectal cancer,stage 3 colon cancer,recurrent colon cancer,stage 4 colon cancer,adenocarcinoma of the colon
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Cancer Institute (NCI) , M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Synopsis: RATIONALE: SU5416 may stop the growth of colorectal cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining SU5416 and irinotecan in treating patients who have advanced colorectal cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity of SU5416 in combination with irinotecan in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. II. Determine time to disease progression, objective response rate, and survival time in these patients receiving this regimen at the MTD. III. Evaluate the safety and tolerance of this regimen in these patients. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of SU5416. Patients receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on day 1 of weeks 1-4 and SU5416 IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 4 of weeks 1-6. Treatment continues every 6 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of SU5416 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, additional patients are accrued to receive treatment with SU5416 and irinotecan at the recommended phase II dose. Patients are followed every 3 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-24 patients will be accrued for the phase I portion of this study within 12 months. An additional 44 patients will be accrued for the phase II portion of this study within 7 months.
