Brief Summary

The primary objective of this pilot study is to determine whether neoadjuvant capecitabine/oxaliplatin/cetuximab and external beam radiation therapy followed by surgical resection \[and then followed by post operative adjuvant capecitabine, oxaliplatin and cetuximab\] is feasible and tolerable.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Toxicity

    The primary objective of this pilot study was to determine whether neoadjuvant capecitabine/oxaliplatin/cetuximab and external beam radiation therapy followed by surgical resection and then followed by post operative adjuvant capecitabine, oxaliplatin and cetuximab is feasible with acceptable toxicity profile.

    Up to 4 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Capecitabine, oxaliplatin, cetuximab, and radiation therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients enrolled on the trial will receive neoadjuvant combined capecitabine, oxaliplatin, cetuximab, and radiation therapy. This will be followed by surgical resection and adjuvant capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and cetuximab

Drug: CapecitabineDrug: OxaliplatinDrug: Cetuximab

Interventions

Given 650 mg/m\^2 BID on days of ration therapy, 825 mg/m\^2 day 1-14, day 15-20 off x 4

Also known as: Xeloda
Capecitabine, oxaliplatin, cetuximab, and radiation therapy

Oxaliplatin 30 mg/m\^2, 130mg/m2 IV Q 21 days x 4

Also known as: Eloxatin
Capecitabine, oxaliplatin, cetuximab, and radiation therapy

Initial Cetuximab 400 mg/m\^2 IV starting no earlier than 8 weeks and no later than 10 weeks after surgical resection

Also known as: Erbitux
Capecitabine, oxaliplatin, cetuximab, and radiation therapy
