What is being measured

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

  1. Response rate (both clinical and pathological) of the primary rectal cancer observed after the chemoradiotherapy. Histologically confirmed complete resection rate (R0 rate).

    Measured: 3-years disease- free-survival or 3-years overall survival

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse events collection

    Measured: From the signature of the informed consent up to the end of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oxaliplatin, Capecitabine and Radiotherapy in people with Rectal Neoplasms, run by Sanofi.

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 10 inclusion and 7 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 18 Sep 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Response rate (both clinical and pathological) of the primary rectal cancer observed after the chemoradiotherapy. Histologically confirmed complete resection rate (R0 rate). (time frame: 3-years disease- free-survival or 3-years overall survival). 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 18 Sep 2009.
