Preliminary studies had shown promise of a possible use in patients with stage III colorectal carcinoma (with metastasis to the lymph nodes). However, when put to a phase III study (2,761 patients) it did not provide any benefit when compared to conventional chemotherapeutic agents. No effect has been demonstrated for stage II (locally advanced cancer without spread to the lymph nodes) colon cancer.
