An Open-Label Randomized Phase III Study of Intermittent Oral Capecitabine in Combination With Intravenous Oxaliplatin (Q3W) ("XELOX") Versus Fluorouracil/Leucovorin as Adjuvant Therapy for Patients Who Have Undergone Surgery for Colon Carcinoma, AJCC/UICC Stage III (Dukes Stage C)
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Capecitabine, Oxaliplatin, and 2 other interventions for Colorectal Cancer. Completed, enrolled 1,886 participants across 232 sites in 29 countries.
Detailed Summary
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of intermittent oral Xeloda plus Eloxatin (oxaliplatin) with that of fluorouracil/leucovorin in patients who have had surgery for colon cancer and no previous chemotherapy. Patients will be randomized to receive either 1) XELOX (Xeloda 1000mg/m2 po bid on days 1-15 + oxaliplatin) in 3 week cycles or 2)5-fluorouracil + leucovorin in 4 or 8 week cycles. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
