NCT02860234

Brief Summary

This study is designed to test the efficacy of tailored operative or non-operative management (NOM) for MRI defined low-risk rectal cancer following neoadjuvant intensity modulated radiotherapy with concurrent capecitabine plus consolidation CapeOX. The main purpose of this study is to increase organ-preservation rate for low-risk rectal cancer patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Organ preservation rate

    The rate of organ preservation will be defined as the percentage of patients who achieve cCR or near-cCR after neoadjuvant treatment followed by local excision or non-operative management (NOM). The time of organ preservation will be measured from the initiation of treatment.

    3 years

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Rate of non-regrowth disease-free survival (NR-DFS)

    3 years

  • Stoma-free survival

    3 years

  • Major adverse events

    3 years

  • European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)

    Time0: before neoadjuvant treatment; Time1: at 4 months after the completion of neoadjuvant radiation; Time2: 12 months after Time1; Time3: 24 months after Time1; Time4: 36 months after Time1

  • European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Colorectal Cancer Module 29 (EORTC QLQ-CR29)

    Time0: before neoadjuvant treatment; Time1: at 4 months after the completion of neoadjuvant radiation; Time2: 12 months after Time1; Time3: 24 months after Time1; Time4: 36 months after Time1

Study Arms (3)

Group A:Clinical complete response (cCR)

Patients who achieve cCR when restaged by DRE-Endoscopy-MRI-CEA at 16 weeks following intensity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT) plus consolidation CapeOX(Capecitabine+Oxaliplatin) will receive Nonoperative Management(NOM).

Group B:Near-cCR

Patients who achieve near-cCR when restaged by DRE-Endoscopy-MRI-CEA at 16 weeks following intensity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT) plus consolidation CapeOX(Capecitabine+Oxaliplatin) will receive Local Excision(LE) or Nonoperative Management(NOM).

Group C:Residual tumor

Patients with residual tumor when restaged by DRE-Endoscopy-MRI-CEA at 16 weeks following intensity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT) plus consolidation CapeOX(Capecitabine+Oxaliplatin) will receive Total Mesorectal Excision(TME).

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Rectal cancer patient who receives primary care in Beijing Cancer Hospital will be selected as the candidate for this study.

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥18 years and ≤85 years
  • ECOG Performance status 0-1
  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the rectum, with tumor differentiation Grade 1-3
  • The distance from down verge of tumor to anal-rectal junction (ARJ) ≤8cm based on MRI, or ≤12cm based on sigmoidoscopy;
  • Clinical Stage T2 or T3a or T3b and EMVI (-) and MRF (-) and extra-mesorectal metastatic lymph node (-) based on MRI
  • No evidence of distant metastases
  • No prior pelvic radiation therapy
  • No prior chemotherapy or surgery for rectal cancer
  • No active infections requiring systemic antibiotic treatment
  • ANC \> 1.5 cells/mm3, HGB \> 10.0 g/dL, PLT \> 100,000/mm3, total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN, AST≤ 3 x ULN, ALT ≤ 3 x ULN.
  • Patients must read, agree to, and sign a statement of Informed Consent prior to participation in this study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Recurrent rectal cancer
  • Primary unresectable rectal cancer. A tumor is considered unresectable when invading adjacent organs and an en-bloc resection will not achieve negative margins.
  • Creatinine level greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.
  • Patients who have received prior pelvic radiotherapy.
  • Patients who are unable to undergo an MRI.
  • Patients with a history of a prior malignancy within the past 5 years, except for well treated basal cell cancer, squamous cell skin cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer or small renal cancer, and with DFS \>5 years.
  • Patients with a history of any arterial thrombotic event within the past 6 months. This includes angina (stable or unstable), MI, TIA, or CVA.
  • Other Anticancer or Experimental Therapy.
  • Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Patients with any other concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease which would make them inappropriate candidates for entry into this study.
