Preoperative radiation and chemotherapy is the standard treatment for local advanced rectal cancer. The addition of oxaliplatin to capecitabine combined with radiotherapy does not improve local control and long-term survival. Most importantly,chemoradiotherapy significantly increased surgical complication and poor long-term quality of life .In the absence of effective measures of predicting chemo-sensitivity, there is considerable risk of using any two-drug regimen for neoadjuvant therapy. Simultaneous use of the three chemotherapeutic drugs may be able to reduce the likelihood of resistance to both dual drug regimen and single drug regimen. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of three chemotherapeutic regimen known as FOLFOXIRI (the drug 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, Irinotecan) with standard radiotherapy combined with capecitabine in neoadjuvant therapy for local advanced rectal cancer. The drugs in the FOLFOXIRI regimen are all FDA(Food and Drug Administration) approved and have been used routinely to treat patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
Outline: This is a multicenter,prospectively,randomized control ,phase III clinical study.Patients are stratified according to the distance from the tumor to the anal margin5cm>5cm and randomized to 1 of 2 treatment regimen.Patients will receive full supportive care while on this study.
Objectives
Primary: To compare neoadjuvant chemotherpay of FOLFOXIRI with conventional capecitabine single-agent radiotherapy in local advanced rectal cancer with respect to 3-year disease free survival rate (DFS) .
