简要总结
Phase II study, randomized, open-label, multicentric, willing to establish the benefit of pursuing chemotherapy beyond 6 weeks for non progressive patients. The study will proceed in two successive phases :
- non randomized phase in which all patients will undergo chemotherapy
- second phase in which only non progressive patients are going to be randomized ("discontinuation design"). Patients that will show progression in their disease during the first 6 weeks will be released of the study
详细描述
Initial phase: this part of the trial consist of 3 cycles of LV5FU2 (Bolus 5-FU 400mg/m² - 5-FU continuously during 46h: 3000 mg/m², calcium levofolinate 200 mg/m²) - paclitaxel (100 mg/m² at day 1) every 14 days. After 6 weeks,the phase will end with a check-up (clinical exam, tumor evaluation and biological test). Then, if the disease is non-progressive, the patient will proceed to the randomized phase.
Randomized phase:
- Arm A : pursuit of chemotherapy and best supportive care
- Arm B : interruption of chemotherapy and best supportive care
