A Study of Capecitabine (Xeloda) in the Adjuvant Treatment of Participants With Resected Colon Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT02581423
- Lead Sponsor
- Hoffmann-La Roche
- Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of capecitabine (Xeloda) in participants who have undergone surgery for colon cancer. Oral Xeloda will be administered twice daily in 3-week cycles for a total of up to 8 cycles. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks, and the target sample size is 70 individuals.
