About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Capecitabine and Irinotecan With or Without Amifostine in Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

The study evaluates the addition of Amifostine to capecitabine and irinotecan in neoadjuvant chemoradiation(CRT) in locally advanced rectal cancer. Half of participants will receive capecitabine and along with neoadjuvant radiotherapy, followed by a cycle of XELIRI, while the others will receive capecitabine and irinotecan added by amifostine during CRT, followed by a cycle of XELIRI. All participants will be scheduled to receive surgery 6-8 weeks after the completion of CRT. Then it will depends which regimens the patient would receive according to his or her pathological results.

What is being measured

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

  1. the morbidity of hematological adverse events and diarrhea as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Measured: during neoadjuvant chemoradiation.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Impact of participants' quality of life during treatment as assessed by EQ-5D questionnaire and EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire

    Measured: during neoadjuvant chemoradiation.

  2. pathological response rate

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

  3. the morbidity of late radiation proctitis

    Measured: late radiation proctitis is measured 9 months after the end of chemoradiation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Radiation, Capecitabine and Irinotecan in people with Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer, run by Fudan University 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 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 23 Jan 2019. 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 Ji Zhu, MD (+86-2164175590 ext. 81607, leo.zhu@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the morbidity of hematological adverse events and diarrhea as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (time frame: during neoadjuvant 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 23 Jan 2019.
