Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Metastatic disease 2. Patients who have had any chemotherapy or radiotherapy prior to entering the study 3. Acute or sub-acute gastrointestinal occlusion 4. Participation in another clinical trial, with any investigational agent within 30 days prior the study screening 5. Other known malignant neoplastic diseases in the patient’s medical history with a disease-free interval of less than 5 years (except for previously treated basal cell carcinoma, superficial bladder tumor and in situ carcinoma of the uterine cervix) 6. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition to drugs used in the study 7. Uncontrolled concomitant illness, including but not limited to: ongoing or active infections; congestive heart failure; unstable angina pectoris; cardiac arrhythmia; or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance to study requirements

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Step A: The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of the radiotherapy. Step B: The primary objective is to evaluate the proportion of patients with pathological complete remission after combined radio-chemotherapy. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives of step B: • To evaluate the safety of the neo-adjuvant treatment • To determine pathological down-staging • To evaluate the anal sphincter saving surgery rate • To assess the duration of disease free survival and overall survival • To evaluate the correlation between biomarker, pathological response and outcome (Biological Auxiliary Study) ;Primary end point(s): Step A: The primary endpoint is the safety of radiotherapy treatment. Step B: The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients with complete pathological remission at the end of the new radio-chemotherapeutic treatment. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: about 36 months.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary objectives: • To evaluate the safety of the neo-adjuvant treatment • To determine pathological down-staging • To evaluate the rate of R0 resection • To evaluate the sphincter saving resection rate • To evaluate median disease free survival and overall survival • To evaluate the correlation between biomarker, pathological response and outcome (auxiliary\subsidiary Biological Study) This study is planned to perform ancillary analysis as well as correlation between the tumor biological features and clinical response. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: about 36 months.
