NCT ID: NCT02641691

Last Updated: 2021-02-18

Results Overview

* Criteria for complete clinical response: * No residual gross tumor at procto/sigmoidoscopy, or only erythematous scar or ulcer * No radiographic evidence of tumor on DRE * Substantial downsizing on MRI * No suspicious mesorectal lymph nodes on MRI * Negative biopsy from scar, ulcer, or former tumor site (if necessary according to surgeon's judgment) * Criteria for no significant clinical response: * Residual disease by DRE, endoscopy or MR. * Increase in primary tumor size upon clinical exam or imaging * Any new lesions

Measure
Arm 1: Radiation/Oxaliplatin/Leucovorin/5-FU
* Radiotherapy will consist of five fractions, delivered once daily, to a total dose of 25Gy at 5 Gy per fraction. * An optional concomitant boost may be delivered to the primary tumor of 1-2 Gy per day (30-35 Gy to tumor total). If a boost is given then the maximum allowed dose to small bowel is 25 Gy. * Chemotherapy should begin two weeks (9-12 working days) after completion of radiotherapy. * Oxaliplatin will be given intravenous (IV) over 2 hours on Day 1 every 14 days for a maximum of 8 cycles. * Leucovorin will be given IV over 2 hours on Day 1 every 14 days for a maximum of 8 cycles. * 5-FU bolus will given IV push on Day 1 every 14 days for a maximum of 8 cycles. * 5-FU infusion will be given continuous IV on Day 1 over 46 hours every 14 days for a maximum of 8 cycles * Alternatively, capecitabine/oxaliplatin (CAPE PO 1000 mg/m2 BID days 1-14 Q21 days, oxaliplatin IV 130 mg/m2 IV Q21 days on day 1) x 5 cycles over 15 weeks may be administered instead of FOLFOX

* Radiotherapy will consist of five fractions, delivered once daily, to a total dose of 25Gy at 5 Gy per fraction. * An optional concomitant boost may be delivered to the primary tumor of 1-2 Gy per day (30-35 Gy to tumor total). If a boost is given then the maximum allowed dose to small bowel is 25 Gy. * Chemotherapy should begin two weeks (9-12 working days) after completion of radiotherapy. * Oxaliplatin will be given intravenous (IV) over 2 hours on Day 1 every 14 days for a maximum of 8 cycles. * Leucovorin will be given IV over 2 hours on Day 1 every 14 days for a maximum of 8 cycles. * 5-FU bolus will given IV push on Day 1 every 14 days for a maximum of 8 cycles. * 5-FU infusion will be given continuous IV on Day 1 over 46 hours every 14 days for a maximum of 8 cycles * Alternatively, capecitabine/oxaliplatin (CAPE PO 1000 mg/m2 BID days 1-14 Q21 days, oxaliplatin IV 130 mg/m2 IV Q21 days on day 1) x 5 cycles over 15 weeks may be administered instead of FOLFOX
