Chemotherapy Effect, Colorectal Cancer

Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial\] is to compare in resectable stage T3-4N2 colorectal cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: whether the use of targeted therapy in combination with adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with improved disease-free survival (DFS) compared to adjuvant chemotherapy alone.

Interventions

DRUGFOLFOX chemotherapy regimens

Chemotherapy regimens recommended include oxaliplatin-based CapeOx or FOLFOX regimens, or single-agent 5-FU/LV, capecitabine, or combination with targeted therapy.

DRUGBevacizumab

Targeted therapy regimens are recommended based on gene testing results. For colorectal cancer patients with KRAS/NRAS/BRAF gene mutations, it is recommended to use Bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy. For right-sided colon cancer patients with wild-type KRAS/NRAS/BRAF genes, it is recommended to use Bevacizumab. For left-sided colon and rectal cancer patients with wild-type KRAS/NRAS/BRAF genes, it is recommended to use Cetuximab.When using targeted therapy in combination with chemotherapy, the treatment course should be synchronized with chemotherapy (Bev 5mg/kg iv d1 or Cet 500mg/m2 iv d1).

Patients allergic to any component in the study; 4. Patients with severe uncontrollable recurrent infections or other severe uncontrollable concurrent diseases; 5. Patients with other factors that may affect the study results or lead to premature termination of the study, such as alcoholism, drug abuse, other serious diseases requiring comprehensive treatment (including mental illness), and severe abnormalities in laboratory tests; 6. Patients with emergent surgery due to intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, intestinal bleeding, etc.; 7. Patients with a history of severe mental illness; 8.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
3-year disease-free survival3 years after operation.disease-free survival (DFS) is defined as the time from the date of surgery for colorectal cancer to the occurrence of tumor recurrence or metastasis, or death from any cause.
5-year disease-free survival5 years after operation.
median of disease-free survival5 years after operation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
3-year overall survival3 years after recruited.Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. For patients who are still alive at the time of the final analysis, the date of the last contact will be recorded.
5-year overall survival5 years after recruited.
Complications5 years after recruited.When evaluating the safety and tolerability of adjuvant therapy, researchers typically assess adverse events (AEs) based on their incidence and severity, and then grade them according to the NCI CTCAE version 5.0. NCI CTCAE 5.0 categorizes AEs into 5 grades based on severity, including grade 1 (mild), grade 2 (moderate), grade 3 (severe), grade 4 (life-threatening), and grade 5 (death).
