Brief Summary

To observe the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of capecitabine in the treatment of advanced colon cancer. A total of 150 patients with advanced colon cancer were selected by convenience sampling and then were divided into the control group (n = 50), the medium-dose group (n = 50), and the low-dose group (n = 50) using a random number table.Different administration regimens of capecitabine were given, and the treatment course was appropriately extended. The therapeutic effect and incidence of adverse reactions were observed.

Detailed Description

To observe the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of capecitabine in the treatment of advanced colon cancer. A total of 150 patients with advanced colon cancer were selected by convenience sampling and then were divided into the control group (n = 50), the medium-dose group (n = 50), and the low-dose group (n = 50) using a random number table.The control group was treated with 2,500 mg/m2 capecitabine, with 2,000 mg/m2 capecitabine for the medium-dose group and 1,500 mg/m2 capecitabine for the low-dose group. Afterward, the response rate, quality of life, and adverse reactions of the three groups were collected for comparison.

GroupInterventionDescription
the low-dose group: a total daily dose of 1,500 mg/m2capecitabineThe low-dose group was treated with low-dose capecitabine: 750 mg/m2 orally twice daily (once in the morning and once in the evening; equivalent to a total daily dose of 1,500 mg/m2). Treatment was given for 3 weeks per cycle, with each cycle lasting 3 weeks, and there were a total of 4 cycles. Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water 30 min after breakfast and dinner every day.
the control group: a total daily dose of 2,500 mg/m2capecitabineThe control group was treated with capecitabine at a conventional dose: 1,250 mg/m2 orally twice daily (once in the morning and once in the evening; equivalent to a total daily dose of 2,500 mg/m2). Treatment was given for 2 weeks, followed by a 1 week of discontinuation, with each cycle lasting 3 weeks, and there were a total of 4 cycles. Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water 30 min after breakfast and dinner every day.
the medium-dose group: a total daily dose of 2,000 mg/m2capecitabineThe medium-dose group was treated with medium-dose capecitabine: 1,000 mg/m2 orally twice daily (once in the morning and once in the evening; equivalent to a total daily dose of 2,000 mg/m2). Treatment was given for 2 weeks, followed by a 1 week of discontinuation, with each cycle lasting 3 weeks, and there were a total of 4 cycles. Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water 30 min after breakfast and dinner every day.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical efficacy:Disease control rate(DR)%After the end of all treatment cycles (3 weeks per cycle, a total of four cycles, totaling 84 days)

Disease control rate (DR)% = (CR+PR+SD)/total number of cases×100%.

Clinical efficacy:Overall response rate(RR%)After the end of all treatment cycles (3 weeks per cycle, a total of four cycles, totaling 84 days)

Overall response rate (RR%): complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)/total number of cases×100%.

Incidence of adverse reactionsAfter the end of all treatment cycles (3 weeks per cycle, a total of four cycles, totaling 84 days)

Adverse reactions include hand-foot syndrome, stomatitis, leukopenia, nausea and vomiting, bone marrow suppression, and pigmentation. Incidence of adverse reactions%=number of adverse reaction cases/total number of cases × 100%

Quality of life:QLQ-C30(Quality of Life Questionnaire-core30) ScoreAfter the end of all treatment cycles (3 weeks per cycle, a total of four cycles, totaling 84 days)

Quality of life was scored using the QLQ-C30 (Quality of Life Questionnaire-core30).QLQ-C30 is composed of one global quality of life scale and five functional scales, which include physical function, role function, emotional function, cognitive function, and social function. Scoring criteria: After the scores of each part of the scale were converted to standardized scores, the scores ranged from 0 to 100, and the higher the score of the scale, the better the overall quality of life and functional status.
