NCT ID: NCT00514020

Last Updated: 2012-11-01

Results Overview

Per RECIST criteria v. 1.0: measurable lesions: complete response (CR) disappearance of target lesions, partial response (PR) \> 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, progressive disease (PD) \> 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions or appearance of new lesions, stable disease (SD) neither sufficient decrease nor increase of the sum of smallest sum of the LD of target lesions. This is a one-time assessment.

Measure
5-FU, Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin
Patients who have TSER\*2/\*2 or TSER\*2/\*3 genotypes will receive the modified FOLFOX-6 treatment. Patients homozygous for TSER\*3 will not be included in study. * FOLFOX-6 chemotherapy: oxaliplatin IV in 500 ml D5W over 2 hours, leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours, and fluorouracil IV over 5 minutes and then continuously over 46 hours on days 1 and 15. * Treatment courses repeat every 2 weeks +/- 3 days (2 treatments per cycle) in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Disease assessments will be performed after 8 weeks (2 cycles) of treatment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: every 8 weeks to progression

Population: Patients available for measurement of response. All patients who received Oxaliplatin + Leucovorin + 5-Fluorouracil are in the heterozygous "good risk" genotype group. One patient was not evaluable for response.

Per RECIST criteria v. 1.0: measurable lesions: complete response (CR) disappearance of target lesions, partial response (PR) \> 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, progressive disease (PD) \> 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions or appearance of new lesions, stable disease (SD) neither sufficient decrease nor increase of the sum of smallest sum of the LD of target lesions. This is a one-time assessment.
