Trial Information

Intermittent Versus Continuous Erlotinib With Concomitant Modified 'Xelox' (q3W) in First-line Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer


To evaluate two different schedules of erlotinib in combination with a modified XELOX
regimen in terms of response rate


Inclusion Criteria:



- Age ≥ 18 years.

- ECOG performance status of 0-2.

- Histological proof of adenocarcinoma of colon or rectum with evidence of metastatic
disease.

- At least one unidimensionally measurable lesion with a diameter >20 mm using
conventional CT or MRI scans, or > 10 mm with spiral CT

- No prior drug treatment or chemotherapy for metastatic disease.

- No prior HER2 or EGFR inhibitors. No prior Oxaliplatin in any clinical setting.

- Absolute granulocyte count > 1.5 x 109/L, platelet count > 100 x 109/L, hemoglobin
level > 9.0 g/L, INR < 1.5.

(ULN) or calculated creatinine clearance > 50ml/min, serum bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN, ALT
< 2.5 x ULN or < 5 x ULN in case of liver metastases, albumin level > 30g/dL).

- Prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for non-metastatic CRC is allowed if > 3
months has elapsed since the last dose of chemotherapy.
