MRI Simulation-guided Boost in Short-course Preoperative Radiotherapy for Unresectable Rectal Cancer

Is NCT03714490 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies CAPOX for rectal neoplasms.

Phase 2RecruitingCancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical SciencesNCT03714490Data as of May 2026

Treatment: CAPOXImprovements in downstaging are required when using preoperative chemoradiation for unresectable rectal cancer. There is therefore a need to explore more effective schedules. The study arm will receive MRI simulation-guided boost in short-course preoperative radiotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy , which may enhance the shrinkage of tumor comparing with the concurrent chemoradiation.
