Overall Survival Primary · 36 month

Time from the day of randomization to death. For alive patients, overall survival was censored at the last day the patient was known alive (LKA).

GroupValue95% CI
BBI6084.443.68 – 4.90
Placebo4.764.01 – 5.32
Progression Free Survival Secondary · 36 months

Defined as the time from randomization to the first objective documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause.

GroupValue95% CI
BBI6081.821.74 – 1.87
Placebo1.821.74 – 1.84
Disease Control Rate Secondary · 36 months

Proportion of all randomized patients with a documented complete response (CR) defined as disappearance of all target lesions, partial response (PR) defined as \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, and stable disease (SD) defined as \<30% decrease but also \<20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions without new lesions per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) 1.1 for target lesion.

Number of Patients With Adverse Events Secondary · 36 months

Number of patients with at least one adverse event as assessed by NCI CTCAE Version 3.0 criteria.

Change of Global Quality of Life at 8 Weeks From Baseline Secondary · 8 weeks

Change scores from baseline at time 2 (8 weeks) from baseline for the global health status/quality of life scale scores (between 0 and 100 with higher value indicating better quality of life) as derived from responses of patients to the EORTC (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer) quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-C30).

Sponsor's own description

The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is better to receive a new drug, BBI608, or better to receive no further treatment for colon or rectal cancer. To do this, half of the patients in this study will get BBI608 and the other half will receive a placebo (a substance that is designed not to do anything).
