Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to design a prospective randomized clinical trial to explore whether postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy may provide survival benefit for stage II colon cancer patients with high risk factors.Therefore the investigators can provide high level clinical evidence of indications for patients with colon cancer with stage II colon cancer.
Detailed description
The most controversial of adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer is whether stage II colon cancer should receive adjuvant chemotherapy or not. Because of the absolute little benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection of stage II colon cancer，NCCN and ESMO guidelines do not recommend routine adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with stage II colon cancer unless combined with high risk factors. Currently，most studies about stage II colon cancer with high risk factors were retrospective. Some suggested that patients with stage II colon cancer can benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy, however, more got the negative conclusions. The study was designed as a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled trial.Patients who agreed to participate in the study would be randomly assigned to a treatment group of adjuvant chemotherapy or observation with 50% chance by a central randomization system determined by the computer program. After a follow up of at least 3 years, the disease free survival of the two groups will be compared.
Interventions
DRUGCapeOX（Capecitabine+Oxaliplatin）
Patients enrolled in the chemotherapy group would receive postoperative chemotherapy CapeOX（Capecitabine+Oxaliplatin）for 6 months
OTHERObservation
Patients enrolled in the observation group would not receive any chemotherapy drugs just for observation

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 3-year disease free survival | At least 3 years after the last patient enrolled | Disease free survival was defined as the duration after local recurrence or metastasis were found after surgery. Metastasis of any distant organs such as liver, lung, ovary，bone and peritoneum were defined by CT. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 3-year overall survival | At least 3 years after the last patient enrolled | Overall survival was defined as the duration from randomization to death from any cause |
| Rate of metastasis | At least 3 years after the last patient enrolled | Rate of metastasis in different groups |
| Relationship between high risk factors and survival | At least 3 years after the last patient enrolled | All the high risk factors enrolled in this study will be analyzed one by one to investigate the relationship between high risk factors and survival. |
| Major adverse events | At least 1 years after the last patient enrolled | Toxic reaction in the chemotherapy group.Adverse events will be graded using the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0 |
