Proximally Extended Resection for Rectal Cancer After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy
Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy has been recommended as the standard preoperative treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer. However, preoperative radiotherapy increases the risk of bowel dysfunction after sphincter-preserving surgery, for which patients suffer from incontinence, urgency, and unpredictability defecation problems. Furthermore, preoperative chemoradiotherapy is a potential risk factor of anastomotic leakage and …
Preoperative Sequential Short-course Radiation Therapy and FOLFOX for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
The treatment protocol proposed in this study is to perform short-term radiation therapy and 4 cycles of FOLFOX chemotherapy for neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer. Compared to conventional chemoradiation therapy, the preoperative radiotherapy period is shortened, and the cure rate of rectal cancer patients can be improved by …
The Radiation Oncology-Biology Integration Network (ROBIN) Molecular Characterization Trial (MCT) of Standard Short Course Radiotherapy for Rectal Cancer
This trial (molecular characterization trial) focuses on rectal cancer, a common cancer that is treated with radiotherapy (RT) as standard of care and represents a setting in which to study the effects of RT on the immune system.
XELOX Combined With Cadonilimab Versus XELOX as Neoadjuvant Treatment for Locally Advanced, pMMR Rectal Cancer
This is a two-arm, open label, randomized phase II clinical study. The aim is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Cadonilimab (a PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody) combined with XELOX regimen in pMMR locally advanced rectal cancer during the perioperative period. Eligible patients will receive either Cadonilimab plus XELOX or XELOX …
Total Neoadjuvant Therapy With mFOLFOX and Short-course Radiation in Resectable Rectal Cancer
This is phase 2 trial of neoadjuvant therapy and short-course radiotherapy in resectable rectal cancer.
Magnetic Resonance Tumour Regression Grade (mrTRG) as a Novel Biomarker - Phase III Non CTIMP Trial
Open to patients undergoing any pre-operative treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer, TRIGGER is the only phase III clinical trial in the UK offering watch and wait. All patients will have post treatment MRI scans routinely performed, no change from the MERCURY trials high resolution MRI protocol is required. Patients …
Watch and Wait in PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody Treated dMMR/MSI-H Distal Rectal Cancer
Immunotherapy has achieved significant therapeutic effect in DNA mismatch repair-deficient or microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) colorectal cancer (CRC) , more than fifty percent of dMMR/MSI-H CRC patients might get pathological complete response(pCR) after PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment. For distant rectal cancer(RC), radical resection and neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy might cause lots …
Neoadjuvant FOLFOXIRI Versus CapeOX Chemotherapy for Local Advanced Rectal Cancer
This is a phase III randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of FOLFOXIRI versus CapeOX as neoadjuvant regimen in treating patients with middle and upper locally advanced (MRI T3-4 or N+) rectal cancer. This study aims to optimize the neoadjuvant therapy for patients with anus-preserving resectable locally advanced …
Immunotherapy in Patients With Early dMMR Rectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer (1.8 million cases) and the third most common cause of cancer-related death (0.8 million deaths) worldwide in 2018, and rectal cancer accounts for roughly one-third of CRC. The main curative treatment modality for patients with rectal cancer is surgery, often combined …
Liver Magnetic Resonance Imaging Before Treatment for Rectal Cancer. A Randomised Controlled Trial.
This multicentre randomized controlled trial aims to investigate whether an abbreviated MRI is comparable to a combined single venous phase CT with an additional 3 min equilibrium phase of the liver, in the pretreatment radiological workup in patients with rectal cancer.
