This randomized phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy and capecitabine with or without curcumin before surgery works in treating patients with rectal cancer. Drugs such as curcumin may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy and radiation therapy is more effective with or without curcumin when given before surgery in patients with rectal cancer.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Number of Participants With Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) Rate | Compared the rate of pCR between treatment arms with Fisher's exact test. | At time of surgery | |
Secondary | Change in Curcumin Level in Tumor Tissue | A logistic regression model with pCR as the dependent variable will be used to assess the association between pCR and NF-kB activity and treatment. | Baseline to 11.5 weeks | |
Secondary | Change in Curcumin Level in Serum | Plasma levels were assessed pre and post curcumin/placebo administration. During week 2 (after at least 5 fractions of radiation therapy) of chemoradiation therapy:
Optional endoscopic biopsy Optional blood collection for pharmacology (1 hour before and 1 hour after intake of curcumin or placebo) |
assessed 1 hr pre/post curcumin administration on one of the days during week 2 of radiation therapy (fractions 6-10) | |
Secondary | Tumor Regression Grade | tumor regression grade (1= pCR, 2= near pCR, 3= partial response, 4= no response, 5=progression). | Baseline to 11.5 weeks | |
Secondary | Overall Survival (OS) | OS was calculated from start of CRT to date of death, censored at last follow-up. Estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. | 5 years | |
Secondary | Progression Free Survival (PFS) | PFS was calculated from start of CRT to date of disease progression or death, censored at last endoscopy/imaging evaluation. | 5 years | |
Secondary | Number of Participants With Tumor Downstaging | Tumor downstaging (DS) is defined as a decrease in the T stage of the primary tumor by at least 1. | Baseline to 11.5 weeks |
