3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Phase II: mFOLFIRINOX + PEGPH20Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients receive pegylated recombinant human hyaluronidase (PEGPH20) IV over 10 minutes on day 1 and oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, irinotecan hydrochloride, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) as in Arm I. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Phase IExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
PEGPH20, 3 ug/kg on Day 1 and Day 3/4, IV over 15 minutes; Oxaliplatin, 85 mg/m^2, on Day 2, IV over 2 hours; Leucovorin, 400 mg/m^2, on Day 2, IV over 2 hours; Irinotecan, 180 mg/m^2, on Day 2, IV over 1.5 hours; 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), 2,400 mg/m^2, Days 2-4, IV over 46 hours
Group III: Phase II: mFOLFIRINOXActive Control4 Interventions
Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours, leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours, and irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 1.5 hours on day 2, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) IV over 46 hours on days 2-4. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What conditions can Leucovorin bolster amelioration for?

"Leucovorin is a widely used remedy for macrocytic anemia, but can also be employed in the treatment of rehydration, bladder cancer and malignant neoplasms."

Answered by AI

Are enrollment opportunities available for this clinical trial at present?

"According to clinicaltrials.gov, this trial is no longer actively seeking patients as the last time it was updated was on November 9th 2022. Despite that fact, there are presently 1463 other medical trials in search of participants."

Answered by AI

How many individuals have signed up to participate in this research endeavor?

"This investigation is no longer seeking new participants. Its initial posting was on January 1st 2014, and it was last modified on November 9th 2022. Although this trial has concluded recruitment, there are currently 779 trials enrolling patients with metastatic neoplasm and 684 clinical studies recruiting volunteers for Leucovorin treatments."

Answered by AI

Do I qualify to be a participant in this research project?

"This research requires 126 participants with a history of metastatic neoplasm aged 18-75. In particular, those being considered must not have had any prior treatment in the last 3 years that included oxaliplatin or irinotecan; no past chemotherapy for metastasis; and be without pre-existing abdominal radiation therapy. Additionally, they should display a Zubrod performance status between 0 to 1."

Answered by AI

How many locations are currently conducting this trial?

"This medical trial is underway at 100 sites located across the country, including Detroit, Burlington and Bend. If you choose to enroll, it is encouraged that you select the nearest location available in order to reduce travel needs."

Answered by AI

Are there any records of prior experiments involving Leucovorin?

"Presently, there are 684 ongoing investigations into Leucovorin. Of these studies, 215 have progressed to Phase 3. Most of the clinical trials take place in Guangzhou, Guangdong; however, research is being conducted at 30878 separate sites around the world."

Answered by AI

Does the eligibility criterion for this trial encompass individuals who are of age 18 or above?
