Overview

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the non-inferiority of overall survival FOLFIRI with or without Bevacizumab compared with Irinotecan (CPT-11) with or without Bevacizumab as Second-line therapy in Patient with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

Description

Primary endpoint: Progression-free survival (PFS); Secondary endpoints: Overall survival (OS), Time to treatment failure (TTF), Overall response rate (ORR), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Safety.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
