Study of Panitumumab Given First With Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin (CAPOX) and Then With Capecitabine and Radiation of the Pelvis for Treatment of Patients With Rectal Cancers That May or May Not Have Spread Beyond the Rectum


ABSTRACT: Panitumumab is a monoclonal antibody. It works by attaching to a protein called epidermal growth factor receptor found on normal and cancer cells. When panitumumab attaches, it blocks another protein called epidermal growth factor (EGF) from attaching to the cell. This is important because, when EGF is blocked, a cell’s growth slows down or stops. Panitumumab may also help radiation therapy work. Also because panitumumab is a fully-human antibody, it may be less toxic than other monoclonal antibodies made to block the EGF receptor. Chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and oxaliplatin, works to kill cancer cells directly. Capecitabine given during radiation helps radiation therapy work better. This study is being done to learn how rectal cancer tumors that are not removed surgically respond to treatment with panitumumab and chemotherapy given before radiation therapy begins followed by treatment with panitumumab and capecitabine given with radiation therapy.
