NCT00833131

Brief Summary

The addition of Oxaliplatin to conventionally fractionated chemoradiation (FULV or capecitabine) is considered as standard in unresectable rectal cancer by the panel of experts. The Investigators addressed the question whether short-course preoperative radiotherapy with consolidating chemotherapy of FOLFOX4 may increase the rate of R0 resection in patients with unresectable rectal cancer.

1

EXPERIMENTAL

25 Gy in 5 fractions of 5 Gy over 5 days. One week interval. Consolidating chemotherapy of 3 courses of FOLFOX4. Surgery 10-11 weeks from beginning of radiation and at least 4 weeks from the last dose of fluorouracil.

Radiation: Short course of radiotherapy

2

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Conventionally fractionated chemoradiation with 50.4 Gy total dose in 28 fractions of 1.8 Gy over 5.5 weeks. Surgery 10-11 weeks from beginning of radiation and at least 4 weeks from the last dose of radiation.

Radiation: Radiochemotherapy

Interventions

5 x 5 Gy and afer one week interval consolidating chemotherapy of 3 courses of FOLFOX4

Also known as: short radiation, consolidating chemotherapy
1

28 x 1,8 Gy with simultaneous neoadjuvant chemotherapy: two courses of 5-Fu 325 mg/m2/day i.v. bolus and LV 20 mg/m2/day i.v.-bolus over 5 days given during 1-5 and 29-33 days of radiation. Oxaliplatin is given 50 mg/m2 once a week 5 times during 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 days of radiation.

Also known as: chemoradiation
