A Study of Xeloda (Capecitabine) Plus Oxaliplatin in Patients With Colon Cancer

This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.

Sponsored by: Hoffmann-La Roche
Information provided by: Hoffmann-La Roche
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00069121
  Purpose

This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of intermittent oral Xeloda plus Eloxatin (oxaliplatin) with that of fluorouracil/leucovorin in patients who have had surgery for colon cancer and no previous chemotherapy. Patients will be randomized to receive either 1) XELOX (Xeloda 1000mg/m2 po bid on days 1-15 + oxaliplatin) in 3 week cycles or 2)5-fluorouracil + leucovorin in 4 or 8 week cycles. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
