Brief Title: Neoadjuvant mFOLFOXIRI Chemotherapy Alone for Extramural Vascular Invasion Positive Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
Official Title: Neoadjuvant mFOLFOXIRI Chemotherapy Alone for Extramural Vascular Invasion(EMVI) Positive Rectal Cancer: A Phase II, Single-arm, Prospective Clinical Study
Study ID: NCT04170530
Brief Summary: Extramural Vascular Invasion Positive(EMVI+) is a high risk of distant metastasis for locally advanced rectal cancer(LARC) after resection. The study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mFOLFOXIRI as neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone for EMVI+ LARC.
Detailed Description: It is an investigator-initiated, single institution, prospective, single-arm clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FOLFOXIRI as neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone for EMVI+ LARC.Patients of LARC with EMVI+ evaluated by pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were enrolled in this trial. All EMVI+ LARC will receive the study regimen every 2 weeks for 6 cycles. MRI will be performed after 3 cycles of chemotherapy to assess clinical response.MRI was performed to assess clinical response after chemotherapy. Patients with mesorectal fascia-positive or ycT4a/b after re-evaluation would receive radiation before surgery, whereas responders would have immediate total mesorectal excision (TME).If the tumor response is good enough(partial response or complete response), the patient will receive another 3 cycles of FOLFOXIRI then surgery. On the contrary, if the tumor shows poor response(stable disease or progressive disease) or with mesorectal fascia-positive or ycT4a/b after re-evaluation, radiotherapy will be performed combined with capecitabine before operation. All patients will receive 6 cycles of mFOLFOX6 or 4 cycles XELOX as adjuvant chemotherapy after TME.
