Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Scientific Title

Aspirin for Dukes C and High Risk Dukes B Colorectal Cancers - An International, Multi-Center, Double Blind, Randomized Placebo Controlled Phase III Trial

Cooperative Group

Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Trials Group (AGITG)

Summary

We hypothesize through this randomized, placebo-controlled adjuvant study, that Aspirin in patients with dukes C or high risk dukes B colorectal cancer (ASCOLT) can improve survival in this patient population over placebo control. If indeed found to be beneficial, because aspirin is cheap and easy to administer, it will positively impact the lives of many individuals in Asia and globally. STUDY OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of Aspirin against placebo control in patients with dukes C or high risk dukes B colorectal cancer in terms of Disease Free Survival (DFS) and Overall Survival (OS) Primary endpoints DFS among all eligible subjects (high risk Dukes B colon cancer, Dukes C colon cancer and rectal cancer patient sub-groups); DFS among patients with colon cancer (high-risk Dukes B and Dukes C colon cancer). Secondary endpoints Overall survival (OS) over 5 years DFS and OS in Chinese, Malay, Indian and other ethnic groups Resected high risk Dukes B colon cancer, Dukes C colon cancer and rectal cancer sub-groups, individually Compliant versus non-compliant subjects PIK3CA mutated tumors (where samples are available)
