Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • 18 years or older • Confirmed local recurrent rectal cancer after total or partial mesorectal resection for rectal cancer either by histopathology ór clinically proven (evidence on imaging in combination with clinical findings, with consensus in MDT) • Resectable disease determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or deemed resectable after neoadjuvant treatment with chemoradiotherapy • WHO performance score 0-1 • Written informed consent Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 182 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 182
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Radiological evidence of systemic metastatic disease (e.g. liver, lung) at time of randomisation or in the six months prior to randomisation • Homozygous DPD deficiency • Any chemotherapy in the past 6 months • Any contraindication for the planned chemotherapy (e.g. severe allergy, pregnancy, kidney dysfunction with creatinine clearance of <30ml/min, thrombocytopenia of <100x109/L), as determined by the medical oncologist • Radiotherapy in the past 6 months for primary rectal cancer • Any contraindication for the planned chemoradiotherapy (e.g. severe allergy to chemotherapy agent, no possibility for radiotherapy due to previous radiotherapy), as determined by the medical oncologist and/or radiation oncologist • Any contraindication for surgery, as determined by the surgeon and/or anaesthesiologist • Concurrent malignancies that interfere with the planned study treatment or the prognosis of resected LRRC.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the rate of resections with clear margins between both arms.;Secondary Objective: • To compare the local re-recurrence free survival. • To compare the progression free survival • To compare the metastasis free survival • To compare the disease free survival • To compare the overall survival • To determine and compare the pathologic response • To assess the objective radiological response to the neoadjuvant treatment • To determine the toxicity related to the administration of induction chemotherapy • To determine the compliance to induction chemotherapy in the experimental arm • To compare the toxicity related to the administration of chemoradiotherapy • To compare the compliance to chemoradiotherapy • To compare the number of patients undergoing surgery • To compare surgical characteristics • To compare the rate of major surgical complications • To compare the quality of life • To determine the cost-effectiveness and –utility • To systematically collect blood and tissue samples from enrolled patients for future translational research;Primary end point(s): Rate of patients with a clear resection margin;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After histopatholical evaluation. For the last included patient, this will be approximately 4.5 years after inclusion of the first patient. | — |
