Gemcitabine and Docetaxel in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Adenocarcinoma

This was an open-label, multicenter, trial. Enrolled patients received an intravenous combination of gemcitabine 800 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 and docetaxel 70 mg/m2 on day 8 of each 21-day cycle. Patients received filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor \[G-CSF\]) on days 9 through 15 or pegfilgrastim 6 mg on day 9 or 10 of each cycle. Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable adverse events (AEs), or withdrawn of the consent. Patients underwent safety evaluations and monitoring for adverse events for each cycle. Disease assessments (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging) were performed at baseline and then every 6 weeks. Response was evaluated according to the RECIST version1.1. Patients who discontinue treatment will be monitored for overall survival.
