Non Inferiority Study of Preoperative Chemotherapy Without Pelvic Irradiation for Rectal Cancer

Non Inferiority Multicenter Phase III Randomized Trial Comparing Preoperative Chemotherapy Only to Chemotherapy Followed by Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Resectable Rectal Cancer (Intergroup FRENCH-GRECCAR- PRODIGE)


Sponsor

Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Enrollment

540 participants

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study is a non-inferiority phase III randomised trial comparing preoperative chemotherapy alone (modified FOLFIRINOX) to chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy in patients with primary resectable locally advanced rectal cancer. The primary endpoint of the study is 3-year progression free survival. Expected 3 year PFS rate in the preoperative chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy arm is 75%. This hazard rate, in an exponential survival model, corresponds to a decrease in the 3-year PFS rate on the preoperative chemotherapy arm to 67%. The study will randomize 540 patients (270 in the chemotherapy group and 270 in the chemoradiotherapy group) in 42 french academic centers.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing two approaches to treating rectal cancer before surgery: standard chemoradiation (chemotherapy plus radiation) versus chemotherapy alone (without radiation). Researchers want to see if skipping radiation is just as effective while reducing side effects such as bowel and sexual function problems. **You may be eligible if...** - You have rectal cancer confirmed by biopsy located in the middle or lower rectum (within 10 cm of the anal opening) - Imaging shows the tumor has not grown into surrounding critical structures - You are 18 or older and in good general health - You are willing to use effective contraception during and after treatment if applicable **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer is too close to surrounding structures on MRI - You have received prior pelvic radiation or prior rectal cancer treatment - You are pregnant - You have serious medical conditions preventing surgery or chemotherapy Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

DRUGChemotherapy

Arm A : Experimental * Intervention Type : Drug * Intervention Name : Modified FOLFIRINOX (experimental arm) * Intervention Description : preoperative chemotherapy: Modified FOLFIRINOX regimen comprised oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 + irinotecan 180mg/m2 + Folinic acid 400 mg/m2 at day1, then 5-FU given as a continuous infusion over 46h every two weeks. Six cycles are planned preoperatively.

DRUGRadiochemotherapy

Arm B: Active comparator * Intervention Name : modified FOLFIRINOX followed by preoperative standardized radiochemotherapy (control arm) * Intervention Description : preoperative chemotherapy: Modified FOLFIRINOX regimen comprised oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 + irinotecan 180mg/m2 + Folinic acid 400 mg/m2 at day1, then 5-FU given as a continuous infusion over 46h every two weeks. Six cycles are planned preoperatively.followed by preoperative radiochemotherapy with concurrent capecitabine 825 mg/m2/12h 5 days/week and intensity modulated radiation therapy using a simultaneous integrated boost technique with 45 Gy in 25 fractions in pelvic volume and 50 Gy in 25 fractions to the tumor.
