About this study

This study suggested an effective application of pattern recognition, which figured the possible biological function of potential bio-markers of rectal cancer found in our study based on their chemical structures. Hence, this study identified the precursor protein and metabolic mechanism of these bio-markers and may contribute to the neoadjuvant chemoradiation of locally advanced rectal cancer

What is being measured

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

  1. TRG

    Tumor regression grade

    Measured: Surgery scheduled 6-8 weeks after the end of chemoradiation

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Pathologic Complete Response

    Measured: Surgery scheduled 6-8 weeks after the end of chemoradiation

  2. Local Control rate

    Number of participants with pelvic failure after surgery, evaluated using Kaplan-Meier Curve

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented pelvic failure, assessed up to 10 years

  3. Disease-free Survival

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 10 years

  4. Overall Survival

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years

  5. Number of participants with chemoradiation-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Number of participants with chemoradiation-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer, run by Zhu Ji 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 7 inclusion and 3 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 12 May 2017. 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.

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 Ji Zhu, MD (+86-2164175590, leo.zhu@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

TRG (time frame: Surgery scheduled 6-8 weeks after the end of 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 NCT03149978, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 May 2017.
