Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare the efficacy of tegafur/uracil (UFT) plus folinate calcium (leucovorin: LV) administered orally and UFT plus Krestin (PSK) administered orally enrolling patients with pTNM stage IIB or III colorectal cancer as subjects in a multicenter collaborative randomized open-label comparative controlled study and consequently to determine the usefulness of the above regimens as adjuvant therapy after surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To compare the efficacy of tegafur/uracil (UFT) plus folinate calcium (leucovorin: LV) administered orally and UFT plus Krestin (PSK) administered orally enrolling patients with pTNM stage IIB or III (UICC Sixth version) colorectal cancer/histological curability A (Japanese Classification of Colorectal Carcinoma, Sixth version) as subjects in a multicenter collaborative randomized open-label comparative controlled study and consequently to determine the usefulness of the above regimens as adjuvant therapy after surgery.

* Patients who is between 20 and 80 years old at the time of obtaining informed consent
* Patients with performance status of 0 - 2
* Patients without receiving any cancer treatment such as radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy before surgical operation
* Patients without severe dysfunction of renal, hepatic, or bone marrow function
* Patients without serious complications such as bone marrow suppression, diarrhea, and infections diseases
* Patients who have given consent to participate in this clinical study by himself/herself or his/her family

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients in whom the bottom of tumor reaches the peritoneal reflection
* Patients with lower rectal cancer (Rb), anal canal (P), or circumanal skin (E)
* Patients who has active multiple cancers or whose disease-free survival is less than 5 years even though the cancers are metachronous (except carcinoma in situ and skin cancers)
* Women who are currently pregnant or wish to be pregnant during this clinical study
* Patients who are judged to be inappropriate to participate in this clinical study by the investigator or subinvestigator
