Clinical Trial Summary

Although neoadjuvant radiotherapy greatly decreases local recurrence in locally advanced rectal cancer patients undergoing surgery, it inevitably results in short-term and long-term toxicities. More importantly, it has not been confirmed that neoadjuvant radiotherapy could improve overall survival. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of chemotherapy alone using a combination regimen known as XELOX (capecitabine and oxaliplatin ) and selective use of the standard treatment to the standard treatment of chemotherapy and radiation.


Clinical Trial Description

This randomised, open-label, multicentre,phase 3 trial began in August, 2014, as an adjuvant trial comparing capecitabine-based neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with chemotherapy alone,in patients aged 18 years to 75 with clinical stage II-III locally advanced rectal cancer from six Chinese institutions. Patients with local advanced rectal cancer (T2N+ or T3-4aNany,M0, CRM≥2mm, 12cm from the anus verge) were scheduled to Group A: receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone (4 cycles of XELOX: oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 day 1,capecitabine 2000mg/m2 days 1-14, repeated every 21 days) followed by radical surgery and 4 cycles of XELOX ( oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 day 1,capecitabine 2000mg/m2 days 1-14, repeated every 21 days) and Group B :chemoradiotherapy (50.4 Gy plus capecitabine 1650 mg/m² administered orally and concurrently with radiation therapy for 5 days per week.) followed by radical surgery and 6 cycles of XELOX ( oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 day 1,capecitabine 2000mg/m2 days 1-14, repeated every 21 days) The primary endpoint was 3-year local recurrence free survival; analyses were done based on all patients with post-randomization data. ;
