Preoperative Intraarterial Chemoembolization Combined With Radiotherpy in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer (PCAR)

August 8, 2018 updated by: Dong Wang, Third Military Medical University

Multi-center Study of Preoperative Intraarterial Chemoembolization Combined With Radiotherpy in the Management of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

Compared to postoperative chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy, preoperative chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy shows higher sphincter preservation rate and lower local recurrence rate in locally advanced rectal cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the response and prognosis of intraarterial chemoembolization and intravenous infusion chemotherapy in patients with rectal T3-T4 and/or N+ rectal cancer before operation.

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pathological Complete Response (pCR)
Time Frame: pathologic examination following surgery, at aproximately 9-10 weeks or after preoperative intraarterial chemoembolization plus radiotherpy
Pathological complete response (pCR) was determined on tumor resection specimens after completion of neoadjuvant therapy, and was defined as no evidence of residual invasive and ductal disease in the rectum and lymph nodes
pathologic examination following surgery, at aproximately 9-10 weeks or after preoperative intraarterial chemoembolization plus radiotherpy

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.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
