Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Preoperative chemoradiation has become standard treatment for stage 2/3 rectal cancer. But for moderate-risk rectal cancer patients, whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed with total mesorectal excision is adequate for local control is still unknown. The necessity of preoperative radiotherapy for these patients needs further exploration.

This study is a single-arm, single-center, prospective, phase II clinical study. It is designed to test the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for MRF-negative, moderate-risk and initially resectable middle and low rectal cancer.

In this study, patients with MRI defined moderate-risk rectal cancer will receive a three-month neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on Oxaliplatin combined with Fluorouracil(CapeOX,SOX,mFOLFOX6,etc.) and Total mesorectal excision.

Primary Endpoint is pCR rate.Secondary endpoint concludes toxic reactions of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, Incidence of surgical complications and three-year disease-free survival (DFS).

This study is designed to recruit 119 patients in all.

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.
