A phase III clinical trial comparing the combination of capecitabine and oxaliplatin (XELOX) versus the combination of fluorouracil (5FU)/leucovorin (LV) and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) as an adjuvant therapy in patients with operated colorectal cancer of stages B2 (high risk) and C (according to Duke’s)

ABSTRACT: Interventions: (XELOX) Xeloda: 1000 mg/m2 twice daily [by mouth (p.o.), morning and evening within 30 min of last meal], days 1 to 14 Oxaliplatin: 130 mg/m2 by 2-hour intravenous (IV) infusion, day 1
The treatment will commence in 4-6 weeks after surgery. Repeat every 21 days for 8 cycles
Primary outcome(s): To compare the 3-year DFS (disease free survival) between the two group therapies [Xeloda and Oxaliplatin (XELOX) versus 5-FU/Leucovorin and Oxaliplatin (FOLFOX)] in patients with colorectal cancer of stage B2 (high risk) and C, according to Dukes[Disease-free survival will be assessed in each patient by history and physical examination at each cycle and by history, physical examination, serum tumor markers [Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA), Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9)], computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis and chest x-rays every 4 months and endoscopy every 1 year during follow-up. The final outcome will be assessed 3 years after the enrollment of the last patient at the study.]
