S0030: Capecitabine in Treating Older Patients W/Metastatic or Recurrent Colorectal Cancer That Cannot Be Surgically Removed

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00049335
Lead Sponsor
SWOG Cancer Research Network
Brief Summary

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 capecitabine in treating older patients who have metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer that cannot be surgically removed.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the feasibility of enrolling patients aged 70 and over with unresectable metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer to a structured phase II study.

* Determine the anticancer efficacy of capecitabine, in terms of objective response rate (confirmed and unconfirmed, complete and partial responses) and 2-year survival, in these patients.

* Determine the toxicity and tolerability of this drug in these patients.

* Determine the feasibility of using standardized self-report measures of comorbidity, depression, and functional status of patients treated with this drug.

* Determine the clinical pharmacology of this drug in these patients.

* Determine whether patients under 60 years of age treated with this drug have clinical pharmacologic parameters similar to those reported in the literature.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to age (70 and over vs 18 to 59).

Patients receive oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 18 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 6 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 80 patients (60 patients aged 70 and over, 20 patients aged 18 to 59) will be accrued for this study.
