What is being measured

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

  1. Pathological Response

    Treatment effects of interventions. The tumor response should be graded on a scale of 0 (complete response- no viable cancer cells observed) to 3 (poor response - minimal or no tumor kill; extensive residual cancer)

    Measured: Surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. 3-year Disease-Free Survival

    time from radical resection to recurrence or end of follow-up

    Measured: 3 years

  2. 3-year Overall Survival

    time from radical resection to cancer caused death or end of follow-up

    Measured: 3 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Short-course radiotherapy, FOLFOX4 chemotherapy,preoperative and Radiotherapy of neo-adjuvant therapy in people with Rectal Cancer, Radiotherapy, run by Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Oct 2016. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Long Cui, MD.PhD. (+86-25077850, longcuidr@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pathological Response (time frame: Surgery). 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 24 Oct 2016.
