Randomized Phase III Trial Comparing Adjuvant Oral UFT/LV to 5-FU/l-LV in Stage III Colorectal Cancer (JCOG-0205-MF)


Oral fluoropyrimidines are widely used in practice for postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy
for curatively resected colorectal cancer in Japan. In order to evaluate a clinical benefit
of oral anticancer drugs in adjuvant chemotherapy, we conducted randomized controlled trial
comparing the oral combination chemotherapy, UFT+LV, to the standard intravenous combination
chemotherapy, 5-FU+l-LV, in stage III colorectal cancer.

UFT+LV: UFT 300mg/m2/day and LV 75mg/day, orally for 28days with 7days rest, repeated five
times every 5 weeks.

5-FU+l-LV: 5-FU 500mg/m2, l-LV 250mg/m2, weekly administration for 6 times, repeated three
times every 8 weeks.

Primary endpoints are disease-free survival and secondary endpoints are overall survival and
adverse event rate.


Inclusion Criteria:



1. Pathologically proved colorectal cancer (either adenocarcinoma, mucinous carcinoma,
or signet-ring cell carcinoma).

2. Tumor is mainly located in between cecum and upper rectum, excluding that invades to
lower rectum.

3. Stage III cancer by General Rules for Clinical and Pathological Studies on Cancer of
the Colon, Rectum and Anus (6th ed.), excluding si(ai), n(-), M(-).

4. No synchronous colorectal cancer which invade muscularis propria or deeper.

5. Tumor resection with D2 or D3 lymph node dissection was performed.

6. Pathological determination of curability of tumor resection is cur A.

12. Adjuvant chemotherapy can be started within 9 weeks after surgery.

13. Written informed consent is taken.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Active co-existing malignancy (synchronous or metachronous malignancy whose disease
free period is within 5 years). Carcinoma in situ is eligible.
