Summary
Study start date: September 29, 1999
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the biologic activity and safety of preoperative SCH 66336 in patients with colorectal carcinoma metastatic to the liver. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to one of four doses of preoperative SCH 66336 (no treatment, 100 mg, 200 mg, or 300 mg). Patients receive oral SCH 66336 twice daily for 7-14 days prior to exploratory laparotomy and/or resection of hepatic metastases. Patients randomized to no treatment may undergo surgery at any time within 15 days of randomization. Other patients undergo surgery on days 8-15. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients (10 per arm) will be accrued for this study within 10 months.
