Study summary

Irinotecan is one of effective drugs for colorectal cancer. In neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT), Irinotecan is prescribed in a low dose of 50mg/m2/week because of toxicity. Some current studies showed that irinotecan's dose can be increased significantly for those patients with 6/6 or 6/7 genotype of UGT1A1. therefore, the investigators designed this trial to explore the maximal tolerable dose (MTD) of Irinotecan in combined neoadjuvant CRT.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 18, 2011, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
