A Phase III Trial Comparing UFT+PSK to UFT+LV in Stage IIB, III Colorectal Cancer


To compare the efficacy of tegafur/uracil (UFT) plus folinate calcium (leucovorin: LV)
administered orally and UFT plus Krestin (PSK) administered orally enrolling patients with
pTNM stage IIB or III (UICC Sixth version) colorectal cancer/histological curability A
(Japanese Classification of Colorectal Carcinoma, Sixth version) as subjects in a
multicenter collaborative randomized open-label comparative controlled study and
consequently to determine the usefulness of the above regimens as adjuvant therapy after
surgery.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients with pTNM stage IIB or III (UICC Sixth version) primary colon cancer/rectal
cancer who have undergone surgery of histological curability A (including
laparoscopic surgery) (the curability is judged after surgery)

perforates into the visceral peritoneum (T4) or with histologically positive lymph
node metastasis (N+) (to be judged after surgery)

- Patients in whom the bottom of tumor reaches the peritoneal reflection

- Patients with lower rectal cancer (Rb), anal canal (P), or circumanal skin (E)

- Patients who has active multiple cancers or whose disease-free survival is less than
5 years even though the cancers are metachronous (except carcinoma in situ and skin
cancers)

- Patients who are judged to be inappropriate to participate in this clinical study by
the investigator or subinvestigator
