Brief Summary

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

Phase II pilot study of a preoperative induction chemotherapy in combination with Bevacizumab followed by combined radiochemotherapy for patients with locally advanced rectal carcinoma

Detailed Description

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

Induction chemotherapy combined with Radio chemotherapy:

Therapy start: within 28 days after bioptical diagnosis capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 bid during 14 days (d1-d14) , oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 and bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg body weight d1; repetition day 22 and 43 (3 cycles)

Combined Radiochemotherapy after 1 week of concluded 3rd cycle of induction chemotherapy:

Radiotherapy: 5 x 5 days 1.8 Gy; cumulative dose 45 Gy Chemotherapy: capecitabine 825mg/m² bid, on each radiation day during the first 4 weeks of RCTx

Surgery according to TME-criteria (total mesorectal excision) in compliance of an interruption of min. 14 days after RCTx

induction chemotherapy + radiochemotherapy

preoperative induction chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab followed by combined radiochemotherapy with capecitabine induction chemotherapy: starts within 28 days after bioptical diagnosis. All patients are administered with capecitabine (Xeloda®) 1000 mg/m2 bid during 14 days (d1-d14), oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 and bevacizumab (Avastin®) 7.5 mg/kg body weight on day 1; repetition days 22 and 43 (3 cycles) Combined radiochemotherapy: starts at the earliest one week after concluded third cycle of induction chemotherapy. Radiotherapy takes place on 5 x 5 days (dose: 1.8 Gy; cumulative dose: 45 Gy). For chemotherapy patients are administered with capecitabine (Xeloda®) 825mg/m² bid, on each radiation day during the first 4 weeks of radiochemotherapy.
