Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death
Disease progression was defined according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) guidelines and best clinical practices.
Randomization, Weeks 3, 6 and 9, and every 3 months up to 5 years or Death
Time to Progression (TTP)
TTP is defined as the time from date of randomization until objective tumor progression or death due to any cause. It includes deaths and thus can be correlated to overall survival.
Randomization, Weeks 3, 6 and 9, and every 3 months up to 5 years or Death
Secondary Outcomes (15)
Percentage of Participants Who Died
Randomization, Weeks 3, 6 and 9, and every 3 months up to 5 years or Death
Overall Survival
Randomization, Weeks 3, 6 and 9, and every 3 months up to 5 years or Death
Percentage of Participants With Treatment Failure
Randomization, Weeks 3, 6 and 9, and every 3 months up to 5 years or Death
Time to Treatment Failure
Randomization, Weeks 3, 6 and 9, and every 3 months up to 5 years or Death
Percentage of Participants With Progression Excluding Deaths
Randomization, Weeks 3, 6 and 9, and every 3 months up to 5 years or Death
- +10 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (3)
Bevacizumab + Irinotecan + Capecitabine (1000 mg/m^2)
EXPERIMENTALBevacizumab was administered as a 7.5 mg/kg intravenous infusion over 30 to 90 minutes on Day 1 of each 3 week cycle. Irinotecan was administered as a 240 mg/m\^2 intravenous infusion over 60 minutes (Day 1) every 3 weeks. Capecitabine was administered orally at a dose of 1000 mg/m\^2 twice daily (Day 2 to 15). Cycle length was 3 weeks consisting of 2 weeks of capecitabine treatment followed by 1 week without treatment up to 6 cycles. After 6 cycles, participants with objective response or SD were treated with bevacizumab alone until unacceptable toxicity, PD, or participant withdrawal.
Bevacizumab + Capecitabine (1250 mg/m^2)
EXPERIMENTALBevacizumab was administered as a 7.5 mg/kg intravenous infusion over 30 to 90 minutes on Day 1 of each 3 week cycle in combination with capecitabine administered orally at 1250 mg/m\^2 twice daily (Day 1 to 14). Cycle length was 3 weeks with 2 weeks of capecitabine treatment followed by 1 week without treatment up to 6 cycles. After 6 cycles, participants with objective response or SD were treated with bevacizumab alone until unacceptable toxicity, PD, or participant withdrawal.
Bevacizumab + Capecitabine (650 mg/m^2)
EXPERIMENTALBevacizumab was administered as a 7.5 mg/kg intravenous infusion over 30 to 90 minutes on Day 1 of each 3 Week cycle in combination with capecitabine administered orally at 650 mg/m\^2 twice daily (Day 1 to 21). Cycle length was 3 weeks with 3 weeks of capecitabine treatment without interruptions. Participants received the same regimen until unacceptable toxicity, PD, or participant withdrawal.
Interventions
Bevacizumab was administered as a 7.5 mg/kg intravenous infusion over 30 to 90 minutes on Day 1 of each 3 week cycle.
Capecitabine was administered orally at a doses of 1000 or 1250, mg/m\^2 twice daily (Day 2 to 15) or as 650 mg/m\^2 twice daily on Days 1 to 21.
Irinotecan was administered as a 240 mg/m\^2 intravenous infusion over 60 minutes (Day 1) every 3 weeks.
