Study Summary

The rationale of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility of selective non-operative management for locally advanced rectal cancer using dose-escalated ultra-fractionated short course radiation therapy interdigitated with chemotherapy. We believe delivering short course radiotherapy over a prolonged interval, at escalated doses and with concurrent chemotherapy may be feasible and allow for improved clinical response.

Primary Outcome

The MTD will be based upon toxicity, which will be assessed according to the NCI's CTCAE v5.0 toxicity criteria. Dose limiting toxicities will include any of the following Grade 3+ GI toxicities.
