Treating Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer With TAS-102 Chemotherapy Plus Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Trifluridine/Tipiracil: TAS-102 is given in a dose of 35 mg/m2, twice daily on the 1st to 5th and 8th to 12th days of the period of neoadjuvant radiotherapy.
intensity-modulated radiotherapy: intensity-modulated radiotherapy
Study summary
The goal of this Phase 2 trial is to evaluate a neoadjuvant treatment mode for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), consisting of radiotherapy and concurrent Trifluridine/Tipiracil (TAS-102). The main questions it aims to answer are: (i) whether TAS-102 is effective in treating LARC, when combined with radiotherapy; (ii) whether TAS-102 is safe in combination with radiotherapy. Participants will receive one cycle of TAS-102 chemotherapy and neoadjuvant radiotherapy based on intensity-modulated technique. Then the ones with a possibility of R0 resection will receive radical surgery followed by 6 cycles of adjuvant XELOX (capecitabine plus oxaliplatin) chemotherapy.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Objective response rate — One week after surgery
The percentage of the patients complete R0 resection and attain a tumor regression grade of 1-4 (Mandard's 5-tier standard) in postsurgical pathologic examination
