Preoperative Chemoradiation With Capecitabine Plus Temozolomide in Patients With Locally Advanced Resectable Rectal Cancer: Phase I Study
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Temozolomide for Rectal Cancer. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators planned a phase I study of preoperative CRT with capecitabine plus temozolomide inpatients with locally advanced resectable rectal cancer: 1) the role of temozolomide as a radiosensitizer has been well established, 2) hypermethylation (or low expression) of MGMT promoter is associated with colorectal carcinogenesis, can be found in 20\~40% of colorectal cancer patients, and this proportion could be adequate for validation as its role of predictive biomarker, and 3) temozolomide can be additive or synergistic because radiotherapy is now essential in the treatment of rectal cancer.
