What is being measured

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

  1. downstaging effect of tumor

    Comparison of clinical T staging and pathologic T staging example> cT4 --> pT1 after chemoradiation: down staging (+)

    Measured: an expected average of 6 weeks after chemoradiation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. bladder and small bowel toxicity after chemoradiation

    The incidence of grade 3 or higher small bowel and bladder toxicity according to the RTOG and EORTC toxicity criteria (reference: Cox JD et al. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 1995 Mar 30;31(5):1341-6)

    Measured: Participants will be followed for an expected average of 3 months after chemoradiation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing short-course radiation in people with Rectal Cancer, run by Jong Hoon Lee at 3 sites 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 5 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jong Hoon Lee, MD (82-010-8607-1269, koppul@catholic.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

downstaging effect of tumor (time frame: an expected average of 6 weeks after chemoradiation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01431599, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 10 Oct 2017.
