Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Calcium aluminosilicate anti-diarrheal (CASAD) may help treat and prevent diarrhea caused by irinotecan. It is not yet known whether CASAD is more effective than a placebo in treating and preventing diarrhea in patients receiving irinotecan.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying CASAD to see how well it works compared with a placebo in treating and preventing diarrhea in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer receiving irinotecan.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: calcium aluminosilicate anti-diarrheal
  • Other: placebo
Phase 2

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To compare the efficacy of calcium aluminosilicate anti-diarrheal (CASAD) versus placebo in reducing the incidence of grade 3 or 4 diarrhea in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer receiving an irinotecan-based chemotherapy regimen.

Secondary

  • To compare stools per day in patients treated with these drugs.

  • To compare chemotherapy dose reductions and delays due to diarrhea in patients treated with these drugs.

  • To compare quality of life of patients treated with these drugs.

  • To compare the safety of these drugs in these patients.

  • To compare the incidence of grade 3 or 4 diarrhea in patients treated with these drugs.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to chemotherapy regimen (irinotecan hydrochloride in combination with fluorouracil and/or biologic therapy vs irinotecan hydrochloride alone). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive oral calcium aluminosilicate anti-diarrheal (CASAD) 4 times daily for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who develop grade 3 or 4 diarrhea and are removed from the study may receive CASAD for an additional 6 weeks.

  • Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo 4 times daily for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who develop grade 3 or 4 diarrhea and are removed from the study may then receive CASAD for 6 weeks.

Patients undergo quality-of-life assessment at baseline and at weeks 3, 5, and 6.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 30 days.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Arm I: CASAD

Oral calcium aluminosilicate anti-diarrheal (CASAD) 4 times daily for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants who develop grade 3 or 4 diarrhea may receive CASAD for an additional 6 weeks.

Drug: calcium aluminosilicate anti-diarrheal
Given orally

Placebo Comparator: Arm II: Placebo

Oral placebo 4 times daily for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants who develop grade 3 or 4 diarrhea may then receive CASAD for 6 weeks.

Other: placebo
Given orally

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With Grade 3/4 Diarrhea [First 6 weeks from baseline in initial intervention with CASAD or PLACEBO]

    One hundred patients were randomized equally between CASAD and placebo arms in order to assess whether CASAD was efficacious in preventing grade 3/4 diarrhea within 6 weeks for each arm compared. Bayesian futility monitoring in the study with a recommendation to stop the trial for futility if it became clear that CASAD was not better than placebo.
