About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Trial of Neoadjuvant FOLFOX6 With Short Course Radiotherapy in Patients With Unresectable Rectal Cancer and Liver Metastasis

The purpose of this study is the increase of resection rate of primary cancer in rectal after short course radiotherapy without interrupt chemotherapy schedule during the period of chemotherapy. The subject should have the pathologically confirmed for unresectable (impossible to try Total mesorectal excision) rectal cancer with liver metastasis.

This trial contributes to save the time for decreasing primary tumor in rectal and metastasis cancer to whole body after short course radiotherapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • folfoxDrug

    FOLFOX: Day1- Oxaliplatin 85mg/m2, Leucovorin 200mg/m2, 5-FU 400mg/m2 IV bolus -> 2400mg/m2 46hrs continuous

  • short course RadiotherapyRadiation

    After FOLFOX 4cycle, subject have short course RTx 5Gy at once this should be continuing for 5days so that subject should have 25Gy within 5days. Then, subjects have another 4 cycle of FOLFOX and evaluate cancer for resection.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. complete resection (R0) rate for rectal and liver lesions.

    Complete resection (R0 resection) is defined as no residual cancer cells in the resection margn both primary recal mass and liver metastases after simultaneous surgical resection.

    Measured: after surgical resection

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Response rate (RECIST V1.0)

    Measured: every 4 cycles

  2. Overall survival rate

    Measured: participants will be followed until death

  3. Progression free survival time

    Measured: participants will be followed until disease progression or death

  4. Toxicity profile

    Measured: participants will be followed until disease progression or death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing folfox and short course Radiotherapy in people with Rectal Cancer, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

complete resection (R0) rate for rectal and liver lesions. (time frame: after surgical resection). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Sep 2016.
