Prospectively Randomized Control Clinical Trial of FOLFOXIRI Preoperative Chemotherapy Alone on Rectal Cancer in Local Advance Comparing to Oral Capecitabine Combined With Long-term Radiation
Study Purpose
Preoperative radiation and chemotherapy is the standard treatment for local advanced rectal cancer. The addition of oxaliplatin to capecitabine combined with radiotherapy does not improve local control and long-term survival. Most importantly,chemoradiotherapy significantly increased surgical complication and poor long-term quality of life .In the absence of effective measures of predicting chemo-sensitivity, there is considerable risk of using any two-drug regimen for neoadjuvant therapy. Simultaneous use of the three chemotherapeutic drugs may be able to reduce the likelihood of resistance to both dual drug regimen and single drug regimen. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of three chemotherapeutic regimen known as FOLFOXIRI (the drug 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, Irinotecan) with standard radiotherapy combined with capecitabine in neoadjuvant therapy for local advanced rectal cancer. The drugs in the FOLFOXIRI regimen are all FDA(Food and Drug Administration) approved and have been used routinely to treat patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
Recruitment Criteria
Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.
An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.
Inclusion Criteria:
- - 1）Age: 18 to 75 years old;
- 2）Histological diagnosis of rectal adenocarcinoma;
- 3）Distance form anal margin ≤ 5cm: cT3-4aN + M0, there is no distant metastasis, lymph
node positive, or the tumor breaking through the muscular layer, no invasion of the
adjacent organs , positive MRF, it is estimated that R0 resection can be performed;
- 4）From the anal margin>5cm: cT3c-4aN+M0, there is no distant metastasis, lymph node
positive, or the tumor breaking through the muscular layer with invading the
mesorectum more than 5mm, no invasion of the adjacent organs, positive MRF, it is
estimated that R0 resection can be performed;
- 5）Preoperative staging method: All patients undergoing anal examination,
high-resolution MRI and/or EUS for preoperative staging.
The diameter of parenteral lymph node ≥10mm, lymph node shape or the MRI characteristics is consistent with typical lymph node metastasis. If combined with EUS, the material should be submitted to the central assessment team for judgment when there is a contradiction in the staging method. Preoperative chest and abdomen CT, pelvic MRI are used for excluding distant metastasis;Exclusion Criteria:
Trial Details
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.
Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.
Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.
Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
The sponsor is the organization or person who oversees the clinical study and is responsible for analyzing the study data.
The person who is responsible for the scientific and technical direction of the entire clinical study.
Category of organization(s) involved as sponsor (and collaborator) supporting the trial.

Outline: This is a multicenter,prospectively,randomized control ,phase III clinical study.Patients are stratified according to the distance from the tumor to the anal margin（≤5cm，>5cm） and randomized to 1 of 2 treatment regimen.Patients will receive full supportive care while on this study. Objectives： Primary: To compare neoadjuvant chemotherpay of FOLFOXIRI with conventional capecitabine single-agent radiotherapy in local advanced rectal cancer with respect to 3-year disease free survival rate (DFS) . Secondary: 1. To compare postoperative 3-year local recurrence rate, 3-year distance metastasis free survival rate, 3-year overall survival between neoadjuvant FOLFOXIRI with capecitabine single-agent radiotherapy groups. 2. To compare R0 Resection rate and surgical complication between the two groups. 3. To evaluate the tumor regression grade(TRG) between the two groups. 4. To evaluate the adverse event profile and Long term quality of life between the two groups.
Arms
Experimental: Experimental: Group 1
Patient will receive FOLFOXIRI regimen every two weeks for 4-6 cycles within 2-3 months.Two weeks after completing 3 and 6 cycles of FOLFOXIRI regimen,patients will have two efficacy evaluations according to RECIST criteria and toxicity evaluation .If the tumor is defined as no progression without severe toxicity at the first efficacy evaluation, the rest of 3 cycles of FOLFOXIRI regimen will be performed.If it is defined as progression of primary tumor or it is defined as progression of primary tumor and MRF(+)at the second efficacy evaluation,patients are assigned into active comparator group. If distant metastasis occurred during chemotherapy, patients are treated according to the guidelines for metastatic colorectal cancer.Chemotherapy is initiated at 3-4 weeks after R0 resection. XELOX regimen is performed post-operatively (about 4-6 cycles). If postoperative pathology confirmed as positive margin, postoperative chemoradiotherapy was given.
Active Comparator: Active Comparator:Group 2
The patients are scheduled to receive chemoradiotherapy. After 5 weeks from the end of chemoradiotherapy, patients will have a efficacy evaluation according to RECIST criteria. If the tumor is defined as CR、PR or SD, and the TME operation is conducted within 5-10 weeks after chemoradiotherapy completion. If tumor is defined as progressive disease with the possibility of R0 resection, the operation was also conducted within 5-10 weeks after chemoradiotherapy . If tumor is defined as progressive disease without possibility of R0 resection, the palliative chemotherapy was performed . If distant metastasis occurred during chemoradiotherapy, patients are treated according to the guidelines for metastatic colorectal cancer. Adjuvant chemotherapy of XELOX is performed post-operatively (about 4-6 cycles).
Interventions
Drug: - FOLFOXIRI
Irinotecan165 mg/m2、Oxaliplatin85 mg/m2、Left-calcium leucovorin 200mg/㎡，Intravenous infusion，first day. Then, 5-FU 1600 mg/m2/d×2 continuous intravenous infusion（total 3200 mg/m2，infusion 46 hours）in the next two days. Repeat every 14 days.

Chemotherapy: oral capecitabine（1650 mg/m2）twice daily during radiotherapy without weekend breaks. Radiation: Radiation therapy is administered via intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with a linear accelerator, 6MV-X ray.
