L'efficacia di AZD2171 in combinazione con 5-fluorouracile (5 FU), leucovorina, e oxaliplatino (FOLFOX) a confronto con l'efficacia di bevacizumab in combinazione con FOLFOX tramite la valutazione di sopravvivenza in assenza di progressione (PFS). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of the study are to determine:
1. The efficacy of AZD2171 in combination with FOLFOX compared to the efficacy of bevacizumab in combination with FOLFOX by assessment of overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR; complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) and duration of response.
2. The safety and tolerability of randomised study therapies in combination with FOLFOX.
3. The effects on quality of life (QoL) and disease-related symptoms of AZD2171 in combination with FOLFOX, compared with the effects of bevacizumab in combination with FOLFOX. |
Gli obiettivi secondari dello studio consistono nel determinare:
1.L'efficacia di AZD2171 in combinazione con FOLFOX a confronto con l'efficacia di bevacizumab in combinazione con FOLFOX tramite valutazione della sopravvivenza totale (overall survival o OS),velocita' di risposta totale (overall response rate o ORR; risposta completa [complete response o CR] + risposta parziale [partial response o PR]) e durata della risposta.
2.La sicurezza e la tollerabilita' delle terapie in studio randomizzate in combinazione con FOLFOX.
3.Gli effetti di AZD2171 in combinazione con FOLFOX,a confronto con gli effetti di bevacizumab in combinazione con FOLFOX sulla qualita' della vita (QoL) e sui sintomi correlati alla patologia |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Provision of written informed consent. 2. Males or females aged 18 years and older. 3. Histological or cytological confirmation of carcinoma of the colon or rectum. 4. Stage IV (metastatic) disease with one or more measurable lesions at least 10 mm in the longest diameter by spiral computed tomography scan or 20 mm with conventional techniques (RECIST criteria). 5. Patients must have received no prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease, except adjuvant therapy >12 months prior to study entry. 6. World Health Organisation (WHO) Performance score inferior to 2. 7. Life expectancy of major or equal to 12 weeks. Genetic research For inclusion in the genetic research component of the study, patients must fulfil the following criterion: 1. Provision of informed consent for genetic research. If a patient declines to participate in the genetic research, there will be no penalty or loss of benefit to the patient. The patient will not be excluded from other aspects of the study described in this Clinical Study Protocol, so long as they consent. |
1. Consenso informato firmato 2. Maschi o femmine di eta' uguale o superiore ai 18 anni 3. Conferma citologica o istologica di adenocarcinoma del colon o del retto 4. Stadio IV di malattia (metastatica) con una o piu' lesioni misurabili del diametro maggiore di almeno 10 mm se valutate con la CT-scan spirale oppure di almeno 20 mm di diametro se valutate con le altre tecniche convenzionali (RECIST) 5. I pazienti devono aver ricevuto un precedente trattamento per malattia metastatica, ad eccezione della terapia adiuvante > 12 mesi prima dell'ingresso in studio 6. World Health organization (WHO) Performance inferiore a 2 7. Aspettativa di vita maggiore o uguale a 12 mesi Ricerca Genetica Per l'inclusione nella parte dello studio dedicata alla ricerca genetica, i patienti dovranno soddisfare il seguente criterio: 1. Aver fornito un ulteriore consenso informato specifico per la ricerca genetica. La decisione di non aderire allo studio genetico non penalizzera' e neppure avra' conseguenze sul beneficio del paziente. Il paziente non sara' escluso dalle altre procedure dello studio fino a che non ne fara' espressamente richiesta. |

3. Prior therapy with monoclonal antibodies or small molecule inhibitors against VEGF or VEGF receptors, including bevacizumab and AZD2171.
4. Prior therapy with oxaliplatin within 12 months of study entry.
5. Untreated brain or meningeal metastases. Patients with treated and radiological or clinical evidence of stable brain metastases are eligible if asymptomatic and corticosteroids are not required (patients must have discontinued steroids at least 4 weeks prior to registration).
6. Inadequate bone marrow reserve as demonstrated by an absolute neutrophil count ≤1.5 x 109/L or platelet count ≤100 x 109/L or requiring regular blood transfusions to maintain haemoglobin >9 g/dL.
7. Serum bilirubin ≥1.5 x upper limit of reference range (ULRR).

Measurements will be made after the patient has been resting supine for a minimum of 5 minutes. Two or more readings should be taken at 2 minute intervals and averaged. If the first 2 diastolic readings differ by more than 5mmHg, then an additional reading should be obtained, and averaged.
