A Study of Avastin (Bevacizumab) Plus Crossover Fluoropyrimidine-Based Chemotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
Drug: Chemotherapy
Registration Number
NCT00700102
Lead Sponsor
Hoffmann-La Roche
Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding bevacizumab to crossover fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have experienced disease progression under first line treatment with standard chemotherapy plus bevacizumab. Participants will receive chemotherapy alone, or in combination with bevacizumab. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Participants are allowed to continue on bevacizumab, even after stopping chemotherapy.

Overall Survival: Time From Randomization to Death From Any Causewithin 6.5 years
Secondary Outcome Measures

Participants With Progression Free Survival Eventwithin 6.5 years

Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) is a set of published rules that define when tumors in cancer patients improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stabilize"), or worsen ("progress") during treatment.

Overall Survival: Months From Time of First Line Therapywithin approximately 9.6 years
Progression Free Survival: Time to Eventwithin 6.5 years
