About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Rectal Cancer focused on measuring Rectal Cancer

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the rectum < 15 cm from the anal verge without evidence of distant metastasis· Measurable disease. · Either mobile cancers (with clinical stage T3 or T4 by endorectal ultrasound) or fixed cancer (defined as clinical T4 for this study) on palpation. · Malignant disease may not extend to the anal canal (across the dentate line) Exclusion Criteria: No prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy to the pelvis. Patients with clinical stage T 1-2, N0 rectal cancer who are candidates for primary resection are not eligible· No synchronous colonic cancer unless the synchronous tumor is Tis or T1 and has been completely resected· Patients must not be taking warfarin· No prior unanticipated severe reaction to fluoropyrimidine therapy, or known sensitivity to 5-Fluorouracil or known DPD deficiency.· No known existing uncontrolled coagulopathy· Negative pregnancy test· No current breastfeeding· No serious concomitant systemic disorders incompatible with the study· No prior malignancies with the exception of curatively treated basal or squamous carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in-situ of the cervix, or any other cancer for which the patient has been disease-free for < 5 years.· Patients must not be treated with any of the following while on protocol therapy or within 28 days prior to beginning protocol therapy: sorivudine, brivudine, cimetidine, allopurinol. Patients on dilantin must have regular monitoring of dilantin levels.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pathological Complete Response (pCR) Rate
· To determine the pathological response rate of preoperative chemotherapy with capecitabine and irinotecan followed by combined modality chemoradiation with capecitabine in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Pathological response was defined in the protocol as the proportion of complete (pCR) and non-complete pathological response (pNCR) among all evaluable patients.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Local and Distant Disease Recurrence Rates
To determine the rates of local and distant disease recurrence after treatment.
Rate of Clinical Response
To determine the rate of clinical response following induction chemotherapy with capecitabine and irinotecan, and also the overall clinical response after the completion of chemoradiation with capecitabine.
Disease-Free Survival
The three year rate of Disease-Free Survival

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Preoperative induction chemotherapy has been successfully used in a variety of malignancies and provides several advantages over postoperative therapy. Combination of 5-FU/Leucovorin/CPT-11 has demonstrated significantly better response rate than 5-FU/Leucovorin alone. Replacing 5-FU with oral capecitabine in combination with CPT-11 has emerged as a potentially more effective, safe and convenient treatment option for metastatic colorectal cancer. Capecitabine is also well tolerated in concurrent treatment with radiation. Recent data has shown that preoperative radiation appears to be significantly more effective in increasing resectability rates. This trial will investigate the activity of capecitabine and CPT-11 combination in the preoperative setting followed by chemoradiation with capecitabine in locally advanced rectal cancer to improve response and decrease local recurrence. We will also study whether TS, TP, DPD and carboxyesterase expressions correlate with the objective response rate with this chemotherapy and chemoradiation regimen.
