Sponsor

Ralf Hofheinz

Enrollment

550 participants

Start Date

Sep 30, 2020

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, stratified, controlled, open-label study comparing preoperative FOLFOX versus postoperative risk-adapted chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer and low risk for local failure


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing two approaches to chemotherapy timing for people with rectal cancer — giving chemotherapy before surgery versus after surgery based on individual risk. Researchers want to know which approach leads to better outcomes. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma (a type of rectal cancer) - Your tumor is located in the lower, middle, or upper part of the rectum - You are 18 years of age or older - You are well enough to undergo surgery and chemotherapy **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already received chemotherapy or radiation for this cancer - You have distant spread (metastasis) of your cancer - You have serious heart, liver, or kidney problems - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
