First Line Treatment by FOLFIRINOX for Patients With a Rectum Cancer With Synchronous Non Resectable Metastasis

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Adenocarcinoma of Rectum
Interventions
Drug: FOLFORINOX
Registration Number
NCT01674309
Lead Sponsor
Federation Francophone de Cancerologie Digestive
Brief Summary

The FOLFIRINOX protocol seems a promising protocol as attack treatment of a rectum cancer, with an objective response rate of about 70 %. This phase II is to investigate if this systematic attack chemotherapy could control at the same time the rectal tumor and the synchronous metastasis without compromising secondarily the tumor or the metastasis resection or a radiochemotherapy administration.

1. The main objective of the trial is to investigate the tumoral control rate at 4 months, according to the RECIST criteria (version 1.1).

2. The secondary objectives are:

* safety of the treament,

* rate of local failure and local complication (occlusion, important bleedings, resistant pains with morphinic treatment, perforation),

* survival without local failure (radiological or clinical progression of the rectal cancer or local complication),

* rectal tumor response rate (CT scan, MRI and endocopy),

* metastasis response rate,

* disease free survival after complete resection (of primitive tumor and metastases),

* progression free survival (local or distal),

* overall survival, quality of life (QLQ-C30 + CR 29).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Tumor control rate of the primary tumor and metastasis4 months

The tumor control rate of the primary site and metastasis is defined as Complete response or Partial response or stability according to RECIST 1.1 criteria

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
metastasis response rate4 months

The metastasis tumor response rate is the Complete response or the Partial response of metastasis using RECIST 1.1 criteria

Toxicity of the treatmentUp to 4 months after Last Patient First Visit

Number of patients presenting the main toxicities during the study

survival without local failure (radiological or clinical progression of the rectal cancer or local complication)Up to 4 months after Last Patient First Visit

The survival time is defined as the time between the patient's inclusion and the time of the local failure or patient's death

rectal tumor response rate (CT scan, MRI and endocopy)4 months

The rectal tumor response rate is the Complete response or the Partial response of the rectal tumor using RECIST 1.1 criteria

rate of local failure and local complication (occlusion, important bleedings, resistant pains with morphinic treatment, perforation)4 months

The rate is defined as the clinical progression or a radiological progression of the rectum cancer or a local complication due to the treatment or due to the progression
