Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Irinotecan in combination with FOLFOX+Bevacizumab versus FOLFOX+Bevacizumab alone in the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Detailed Description:
5-Fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX-Regimen) in combination with bevacizumab is regarded as standard first-line treatment in metastatic colorectal cancer \[Saltz et al., 2008\]. Current studies established the role of the FOLFOXIRI regimen \[Souglakos et al., 2006, Falcone et al., 2007\]. A further intensification of the therapy seems feasible yielding response rates up to 84% and a disease control rate up to 100% \[Falcone, 2008, Santomaggio, 2009, Masi, 2010\]. This trial evaluates the activity of an intensified first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer compared to standard treatment.
