Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving these treatments before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving combination chemotherapy together with intensity-modulated radiation therapy works in treating patients undergoing surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The Percentage of Patients Experiencing Treatment-related Gastrointestinal Adverse Events ≥ Grade 2 Per National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 3.0, Occurring Preoperatively

    The percentage of patients experiencing preoperative treatment-related gastrointestinal adverse events ≥ grade 2. If patient did not receive surgery, then such adverse events \<= 90 days from the start of concurrent treatment are included.

    From start of treatment to surgery or ≤ 90 days from the Start of Concurrent Treatment (for patients not undergoing surgery)

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Number of Patients in Protocol Adherence Categories for Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) Planning

    Pretreatment

  • Number of Patients With Pathologic Complete Response

    At the time of surgery, which is 4-8 weeks after radiation therapy, approximately 9-13 weeks from treatment start.

  • Percentage of Patients With Grade 3 or Higher Treatment-related Adverse Events as Assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0

    From study registration to end of follow-up. Maximum follow-up at time of analysis was 5.2 years.

  • Local-regional Failure: 4-year Rate

    From registration to four years

  • Distant Failure: 4-year Rate

    From registration to four years

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

IMRT + Chemotherapy , Resection, Postoperative Chemotherapy

OTHER

Radiation therapy (intensity modulated radiation therapy \[IMRT\] + three dimensional conformal radiation therapy \[3D-CRT\]) + neoadjuvant chemotherapy (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) followed by resection and postoperative chemotherapy (FOLFOX)

Drug: capecitabineDrug: oxaliplatinProcedure: resectionRadiation: radiation therapyDrug: FOLFOX

Interventions

1650 mg/m\^2/day orally 5 days/week during radiotherapy.

IMRT + Chemotherapy , Resection, Postoperative Chemotherapy
Also known as: 50 mg/m^2 IV over 2 hours weekly for five weeks starting on day 1 of radiotherapy.
IMRT + Chemotherapy , Resection, Postoperative Chemotherapy
resectionPROCEDURE

All patients undergo surgery 4 to 8 weeks following the completion of radiation therapy. The choice of procedure (abdominoperineal resection (APR), low anterior resection (LAR), or LAR/coloanal anastomosis) is at the discretion of the surgeon.

IMRT + Chemotherapy , Resection, Postoperative Chemotherapy

Pelvic intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT): 45 Gy in 25 fx Three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) boost: 5.4 Gy in 3 fx to total dose of 50.4 Gy in 28 fx

IMRT + Chemotherapy , Resection, Postoperative Chemotherapy
FOLFOXDRUG

Postoperative chemotherapy is administered to all patients who have a complete resection of rectal cancer with negative surgical margins and begins within 4-8 weeks following surgical resection, consisting of a total of 9 14-day cycles. Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m\^2, IV over 2 hours, day 1. Leucovorin 400 mg/m\^2, IV over 2 hours, day 1. 5-fluorouracil bolus 400 mg/m\^2, IV push, day 1. 5-fluorouracil infusion 2400 mg/m\^2, IV continuous infusion over 46 hours, day 1.

Also known as: Oxaliplatin, leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil

  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,800/mm³
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm³
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL (transfusion or other intervention to achieve hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL allowed)

  • Creatinine clearance \> 50 mL/min
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • No prior invasive malignancy except nonmelanoma skin cancer unless disease free for a minimum of 3 years

You may not qualify if:

  • Severe, active comorbidity, defined as follows:
  • Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the past 12 months
  • Transmural myocardial infarction within the past 6 months
  • Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy within the past 30 days
  • Hepatic insufficiency resulting in clinical jaundice and/or coagulation defects
  • AIDS
  • Evidence of uncontrolled seizures, central nervous system disorders, or psychiatric disability judged by the investigator to be clinically significant, precluding informed consent, or interfering with compliance of oral drug intake
  • Known, existing uncontrolled coagulopathy, unless clinically stable on anticoagulation therapy for ≥ 2 weeks
  • Evidence of peripheral neuropathy ≥ grade 2
  • Prior allergic reaction to oxaliplatin or capecitabine
  • Lack of physical integrity of the gastrointestinal tract (i.e., severe Crohn disease that results in malabsorption; significant bowel resection that would make one concerned about the absorption of capecitabine) or malabsorption syndrome that would preclude feasibility of oral chemotherapy (i.e., capecitabine)
  • Prior systemic chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (prior chemotherapy allowed provided it was for a cancer other than colorectal cancer)
  • Prior radiotherapy to the region of the study cancer that would result in overlap of radiotherapy fields
  • Major surgery within 28 days of study enrollment(other than diverting colostomy without tumor resection)
  • +2 more criteria
