Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: 5-Fluorouracil/Leucovorin (5-FU/LV)

Participants were given one of two regimens (each participating center prespecified which regimen they would use for all patients at that center): i) Mayo Clinic regimen group: LV 20 mg/m^2 IV bolus injection + 5-FU 425 mg/m^2 IV bolus injection daily on Days 1-5 of a four-week cycle, for a total of six cycles (24 weeks), or; ii) Roswell Park regimen group: LV 500 mg/m^2 by two-hour IV infusion + 5-FU 500 mg/m^2 IV bolus injection one hour after the start of the LV infusion on Day 1 of Weeks 1 to 6 of each eight-week cycle, for a total of four cycles (32 weeks).

Drug: Leucovorin (LV)
Administered by one of two regimens, as specified in the arm description.

Drug: 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)
Administered by one of two regimens, as specified in the arm description.

Experimental: Capecitabine in Combination with Oxaliplatin (XELOX)

Capecitabine was administered as an oral twice daily outpatient intermittent treatment (3-week cycles consisting of two weeks of treatment followed by one week without treatment) combined with intravenous (IV) oxaliplatin on Day 1 of each cycle. Capecitabine was administered orally at a dose of 1000 mg/m^2 twice-daily (equivalent to a total daily dose of 2000 mg/m^2) with the first dose given during the evening of Day 1 and last dose given during the morning of Day 15. Oxaliplatin was administered as a 130 mg/m^2 IV infusion over two hours on Day 1 of each cycle. The XELOX combination was administered for a total of eight cycles (24 weeks).

Drug: Capecitabine
1000 milligrams per square metre of body surface area (mg/m^2) orally twice daily on days 1-15 of each 3-week cycle.
Other Names:
  • Xeloda
  • Drug: Oxaliplatin
    130 mg/m^2 intravenous (IV) infusion over two hours on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Disease-Free Survival (DFS) [Number of Events] [Time from randomization date to date of first DFS event/date last known to be event-free. Median observation time for DFS was 74 months (range: 0-95 months).]

      Determination of an event was based on tumor assessments and survival follow-up assessments. A disease-free survival (DFS) event was defined as any recurrence of the original colon cancer or appearance of a new colon or rectal cancer (proven by cytology or histology, when possible) or death due to any cause, whichever was earliest. Participants who had not had any such event at the time of data analysis were censored at the last date they were known to be event-free. Participants with no tumor assessments after baseline were censored at Day 1. An isolated event of increased CEA, or unexplained clinical deterioration were not considered to be evidence of relapse without support of other objective measurements. The date of relapse was defined as the date of the definitive assessment by objective measurements.

    2. Disease-Free Survival (DFS) [Time to Event] [Time from randomization date to date of first DFS event/date last known to be event-free. Median observation time for DFS was 74 months (range: 0-95 months).]

      Determination of an event was based on tumor assessments and survival follow-up assessments. A disease-free survival (DFS) event was defined as any recurrence of the original colon cancer or appearance of a new colon or rectal cancer (proven by cytology or histology, when possible) or death due to any cause, whichever was earliest. Participants who had not had any such event at the time of data analysis were censored at the last date they were known to be event-free. Participants with no tumor assessments after baseline were censored at Day 1. An isolated event of increased CEA, or unexplained clinical deterioration were not considered to be evidence of relapse without support of other objective measurements. The date of relapse was defined as the date of the definitive assessment by objective measurements. The median was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The full range values include censored observations.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Relapse-Free Survival (RFS) [Number of Events] [Time from randomization date to date of first RFS event/date last known to be event-free. Median observation time for RFS was 74 months (range: 0-95 months).]

      A relapse-free survival (RFS) event included recurrence of the original colon cancer, development of a new colon or rectal cancer, and deaths related to any of the following: treatment, recurrence of the original colon cancer, or development of a new colon or rectal cancer. Participants who had not had any such event at the time of data analysis were censored at the last date they were known to be event-free. Participants whose cause of death was unrelated to treatment or disease recurrence were censored at the time of the last tumor assessment.

    2. Relapse-Free Survival (RFS) [Time to Event] [Time from randomization date to date of first RFS event/date last known to be event-free. Median observation time for RFS was 74 months (range: 0-95 months).]

      A relapse-free survival (RFS) event included recurrence of the original colon cancer, development of a new colon or rectal cancer, and deaths related to any of the following: treatment, recurrence of the original colon cancer, or development of a new colon or rectal cancer. Participants who had not had any such event at the time of data analysis were censored at the last date they were known to be event-free. Participants whose cause of death was unrelated to treatment or disease recurrence were censored at the time of the last tumor assessment. The median was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The full range values include censored observations.

    3. Overall Survival [Number of Events] [Time from randomization date to date of death/date last known to be alive. Median observation time was 83 months (range: 0-95 months).]

      Overall survival was measured as the time from randomization to the date of death, irrespective of the cause of death. Participants who were not reported as having died at the time of the analysis were censored using the date they were last known to be alive.

    4. Overall Survival [Time to Event] [Time from randomization date to date of death/date last known to be alive. Median observation time was 83 months (range: 0-95 months).]

      Overall survival was measured as the time from randomization to the date of death, irrespective of the cause of death. Participants who were not reported as having died at the time of the analysis were censored using the date they were last known to be alive. The median was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The full range values include censored observations.

    5. Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event by Most Severe Intensity [From time of very first drug intake to 28 days after very last drug intake (median [full range] duration of study treatment per arm: 5-FU/LV MAYO CLINIC: 145 [4-208] days; 5-FU/LV ROSWELL PARK: 204 [1-239] days; XELOX: 163 [1-275] days).]

      The intensity of all adverse events (AEs) was categorized according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) (version 3.0) grading system. If an AE had occurred which was not contained in the NCI-CTC, a four-point scale (mild, moderate, severe, life-threatening) was used. The terms "severe" and "serious" are not synonymous and are independently assessed for each AE. Only the most severe intensity was counted for multiple occurrences of an AE in one individual. See the AEs results table for details.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Disease-Free Survival (DFS) [Number of Events]
    Description Determination of an event was based on tumor assessments and survival follow-up assessments. A disease-free survival (DFS) event was defined as any recurrence of the original colon cancer or appearance of a new colon or rectal cancer (proven by cytology or histology, when possible) or death due to any cause, whichever was earliest. Participants who had not had any such event at the time of data analysis were censored at the last date they were known to be event-free. Participants with no tumor assessments after baseline were censored at Day 1. An isolated event of increased CEA, or unexplained clinical deterioration were not considered to be evidence of relapse without support of other objective measurements. The date of relapse was defined as the date of the definitive assessment by objective measurements.
    Time Frame Time from randomization date to date of first DFS event/date last known to be event-free. Median observation time for DFS was 74 months (range: 0-95 months).

    7. Secondary Outcome
    Title Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event by Most Severe Intensity
    Description The intensity of all adverse events (AEs) was categorized according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) (version 3.0) grading system. If an AE had occurred which was not contained in the NCI-CTC, a four-point scale (mild, moderate, severe, life-threatening) was used. The terms "severe" and "serious" are not synonymous and are independently assessed for each AE. Only the most severe intensity was counted for multiple occurrences of an AE in one individual. See the AEs results table for details.
    Time Frame From time of very first drug intake to 28 days after very last drug intake (median [full range] duration of study treatment per arm: 5-FU/LV MAYO CLINIC: 145 [4-208] days; 5-FU/LV ROSWELL PARK: 204 [1-239] days; XELOX: 163 [1-275] days).
