Bevacizumab and Cetuximab in Combination With FOLFOX6 in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2010-07-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This trial will evaluate the combination of modified infusional 5-fluorouracil/ leucovorin, oxaliplatin (FOLFOX6), bevacizumab, and cetuximab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. FOLFOX6 has proven to be a safe and effective regimen in first line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. The role of epidermal growth factor (EGFR) inhibitors in an earlier treatment setting in combination with optimal chemotherapy regimens is an important emerging question.

• Phase: Phase 2
