About this study

Pathological complete response, (pCR) correlates with a favourable overall prognosis in locally advanced rectal cancer patients underwent preoperative chemoradiation, so obtaining a pCR might be beneficial. The aim of the study is to investigate safety and efficacy of preoperative IMRT combined with bevacizumab and capecitabine. primary endpoint is pathological complete remission rate.

Being tested
chemoradiation

What participants receive

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

  • chemoradiationRadiation

    Also called Preoperative Radiotherapy With Capecitabine and Bevacizumab

    • radiotherapy: 50 Gy to the pelvis (25x 2 Gy on days 1-35, excluding weekends) .IMRT planing and technique with high energy photons will be used. All fields will be treated daily. Multileaf collimators will be used to shape individual radiation fields. Patients will be irradiated in a prone position with a full bladder and by using belly board to minimize exposure of the small bowel.
    • capecitabine 825 mg/m² p.o. twice daily on days 1-35 (including weekends),
    • bevacizumab: at dose 5 mg/kg on days -1, 15, 31.
    • Radical surgery (TME): to be undertaken ideally 6-8 weeks following completion of chemoradiation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathological complete remission rate (pCR)

    A TME surgery will be done 6-8 weeks after concurrent chemoradiation, pathological examination of surgical speciments will be show Pathological complete remission rate (pCR)

    Measured: after pathological examination of surgical speciments (6-8 weeks after chemoradiation)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Acute and late toxicity

    Acute toxicities will be assessed every week during chemoradiation period , one week before surgery(6 weeks after chemoradiation) and every 3 months after surgery for 2 years.

    late toxicites will be assessed every 6 months from the third year after surgery.

    Measured: Toxicity/safety:during preoperative treatment, early and late postoperative follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing chemoradiation in people with Locally Advanced Malignant Neoplasm, run by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences at 1 site in China.

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 8 inclusion and 9 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 6 Jun 2013. 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 China. 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 Jing Jin, professor (87788280, jingjin1025@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pathological complete remission rate (pCR) (time frame: after pathological examination of surgical speciments (6-8 weeks after chemoradiation)). 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 6 Jun 2013.
