Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

maintenance therapy

Arm Description

Initially, all subjects received 8 cycles of Cetuximab (400mg/m2 d1,250mg/m2 every week or 500mg/m2 every 2 weeks)plus FOLFIRI (irinotecan 180 mg/m2 IV on day 1 , leucovorin 400mg/m2 on day 1 , fluorouracil 400mg/m2 on day 1 and fluorouracil 2400mg/m2 civ46h every 2 weeks) . After 8 cycles or severe toxicity, patients received maintenance therapy comprising Cetuximab (250mg/m2 every week or 500mg/m2 every 2 weeks) and either irinotecan( 180 mg/m2 IV every 2 weeks) or fluorouracil arm( leucovorin 400mg/m2 on day 1 , fluorouracil 400mg/m2 on day 1 and fluorouracil 2400mg/m2 civ46h every 2 weeks ). In cases of unacceptable toxicity, only the related medication was stopped

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The progression free-survival
defined as the time from enrollment to progression or death RECIST guidelines were used to define all responses after patients had received every 8 weeks of therapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Overall survival
defined as the time from enrollment to death
Grade 3 and 4 adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
Toxicity was graded according to the criteria of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology for Adverse Events (version 4.0).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To evaluate efficacy, safety, and feasibility of maintenance therapy with Cetuximab combined with irinotecan or fluorouracil after Cetuximab plus irinotecan and fluorouracil(FOLFIRI) in patients with incurable colorectal cancer. The relevant phase III studies reported that the progression free-survival of cetuximab combined with FOLFIRI in advanced colorectal cancer was 4.3 months up to 6.8 months. This study assumed that the progression free-survival was 5.1 months which was not inferior to the continuous chemotherapy
