Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Progression-free survival [2 years]
The primary end point of this study is to evaluate progression-free survival in colorectal cancer patients with unresectable metastasis after treatment with first line Avastin/FOLFIRI in combination with a dietary supplement of nanostructured lipid curcumin particle (Aju Pharm, Korea), which improved biotransformation and bioavailability profiles of curcumin.
