Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To assess the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine given by fixed dose rate intravenous infusion in patients with pretreated metastatic colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Previous lines of treatment recorded. Adjuvant and palliative.

Treatment will continue until clinical indication due to PD or toxicity, or until completion of 6 cycles of gemcitabine, whichever comes first.

All patients will be assessed for toxicity and followed up for disease recurrence/progression.

The study will be divided into two accrual stages - the first consisting of 17 patients. If 6 or more patients achieve tumour response or stabilisation in the first stage, the second stage will commence accrual of a further 20 patients. Hence, the total planned accrual will be 37 patients.
