Colon Cancer Clinical Trial
A Study of Ramucirumab or Icrucumab in Colorectal Cancer
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if participants with metastatic colorectal cancer live longer without their cancer progressing when treated with standard chemotherapy, standard chemotherapy plus ramucirumab, or standard chemotherapy plus icrucumab.
Full Description
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer when treated with 1 of 3 modified FOLFOX-6 (folinic acid [FA] + fluorouracil [5-FU] + oxaliplatin [mFOLFOX-6])-based regimens, as second-line therapy.
During 2010, there has been an identified shortage of injectable folinic acid (FA) in the United States. Levo-folinic acid (LFA) will be allowed as a substitute for FA in the mFOLFOX-6 chemotherapy regimen in circumstances in which FA is not available, to facilitate continuity of participant care.
