Conditions:

Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-75 years

Phase:

PHASE2

Brief Summary

It is hypothesized that other anti-angiogenic agents such as endostar, may augment the effect of chemotherapy regimens in CRC. Endostar, a recombinant human endostatin which expressed and purified in ...

Detailed Description

Among the different combination regimens of new drugs in CRC treatment, the combination of capecitabine and oxaliplatin seems especially attractive. Both drugs have a different and relatively mild tox...
