Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab and bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Cetuximab and bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving capecitabine together with cetuximab, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving capecitabine together with cetuximab, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab works in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.

- measure
- Response Rate (Percentage of Participants With Partial or Complete Response)
- timeFrame
- After all subjects were evaluated for restaging which occured every 9 weeks from drug initiation until disease progression, assesed up to 24 months.
- description
- Restaging scans occurred every 9 weeks from time of study drug initiation until disease progression. Disease assessment was performed and recorded according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v.1.0) Guidelines. The definitions were: Complete response (CR)- Disappearance of all target lesions Partial response (PD)- At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD Stable disease (SD)- Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started Progressive disease (PD) - At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions
