Detailed Description

The patients were divided into two arms according to the defined conditions (pathology rectal adenocarcinoma；distal distance of tumor from anal verge < 10cm；TNM staging T3-4N0-2；no distant metastasis；Karnofsky score≥70) in this prospective, single center, open, non randomized trail (arm A:concurrent chemoradiotherapy, arm B:sequential therapy). Regimens:Arm A:50Gy,2Gy/day per time, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks. +capecitabine 850mg/m2 bid on the day accept radiotherapy. Rest for 8 weeks. Arm B: XELOX 2 cycles (oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 ivgtt 2-6h day 1, capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 Bid day 1-14, repeat every 3 weeks ) → 50Gy,2Gy/day per time, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks.+capecitabine 850mg/m2 bid on the day accept radiotherapy → XELOX 1 cycle. Rest for 2 weeks. Evaluate pre chemotherapy, pre radiotherapy and pre surgery individually. Surgeries followed TME(total mesorectal excision) and PANP(pelvic autonomic nerve preservation) for patients in both arms. Take pathological evaluation of tumors. Take XELOX therapy till 6-8 cycles(pre and after surgery total). Follow up according the schedule.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment.
