Study recruitment: 9500 patients over 5 years (150 sites in the UK)
Study population: patients with colorectal cancer
Timelines:
- Recruitment started in March 2008
- Planned accrual completion is March 2013
- Trial analysis and publication planned for 2016
- Trial duration of 7 years
Objectives & Endpoints
Objectives
•
•
•
Assessment of the efficacy of 12 weeks of treatment vs 24 weeks of
treatment and comparison of the associated toxicity
Economic analysis to assess the cost-effectiveness of the two treatment
alternatives
Comparison of two randomisation methodologies
Endpoints
•
Primary Endpoint:
- Disease free survival (3 year)
•
Secondary Endpoint:
- Overall survival
- Cost-effectiveness
- Toxicity
- Quality of life
Site Registration Process
All sites will be randomised to Upfront Randomisation after a
decision made by the Trial Steering Committee (June 2009)
- Upfront: Randomisation at commencement of adjuvant treatment
to either 24 or 12 weeks of chemotherapy
• Prior to June 2009 some sites were randomised to the delayed
randomisation time point.
- Delayed: Randomisation after 12 weeks of adjuvant treatment to
either stopping, or continuing with a further 12 weeks of
chemotherapy
Site Registration Process
• From the outset of the trial it was specified that a decision would be
made in relation to the 2 randomisation time points approx 1 year
after the study opened to recruitment.
• The independent members of the TSC decided that the study should
continue with upfront randomisation time point only for the remaining
duration of the trial.
Reason for Amendment to Randomisation
• The decision was based on the data presented in the first interim
analysis report.
• The data showed a 32% drop out rate of patients prior to the
delayed week 12 randomisation, compared to a 7% dropout of
patients stopping treatment before completing 12 weeks of
treatment on the upfront randomisation arm.

Follow-up (max 7 years)
Site Registration Process
• Prior to site activation, a site questionnaire will need to be
completed. The questionnaire will require the following information:
- List of all the sites that the PI is responsible for and which are
going to participate in SCOT.
- Responsible CTU for your site.
- Which sites are willing to participate in the QoL questionnaires.
- Estimate the total annual recruitment for all the listed hospitals.
• Return the questionnaire to CTU Glasgow by Fax.
• Fax Number +44 (0) 141 301 7192

Treatment arms
• Arm A (Standard treatment) - 24 weeks of XELOX/OxMdG
chemotherapy
• Arm B (Experimental treatment) - 12 weeks of XELOX/OxMdG
chemotherapy
• Dose and administration of XELOX – 3 weekly cycle
- Oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 IV on day 1
- Capecitabine 1000mg/m2 PO twice daily for 14 days
• Dose and administration of OxMdG – 2 weekly cycle
- Oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 IV on day 1 concurrently with
- I-folinic acid 175mg or folinic acid 350 mg followed by
- 5-FU 400mg/m2 IV bolus injection over 5 minutes followed by
- 5-FU 2400mg/m2 IV continuous infusion over 46 hours
Dose Guidelines for XELOX
Regimen
•
•
•
•
•
At randomisation you will be asked for the patient’s starting dose of
Capecitabine.
Patients with a creatinine clearance of 30-50mls/min must commence
treatment with capecitabine at 75% of the full dose.
Patients > 70 years of age should be considered for treatment with
capecitabine at 75% of the full dose but, in light of differences in standard
practice between sites, this will be left to the discretion of the Investigator
depending on the fitness of the individual patient. The decision not to dosereduce must be documented in the patient notes.
At the Investigator’s discretion, patients can be commenced on a minimum
starting dose of capecitabine of 800 mg/m2 if clinically indicated. The
starting dose of capecitabine will be requested at baseline
registration/randomisation.
Capecitabine dose banding tables are provided in appendix 3 of the
protocol.
