Trial Information

Phase II Trial of Fluorouracil (5-FU), Leucovorin (LV), Irinotecan (CPT-11) and Bevacizumab (Anti-VEGF) in Previously Untreated Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the progression-free survival at 7 months of patients with
previously untreated advanced colorectal cancer treated with fluorouracil, leucovorin
calcium, irinotecan, and bevacizumab. II. Determine the response rate and overall survival
of this patient population treated with this regimen. III. Determine the toxicity of this
treatment regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes,
leucovorin calcium IV, and fluorouracil IV once weekly for 4 weeks. Patients also receive
bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes once every 2 weeks. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 3
months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 75 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
