Study summary

What the protocol is testing.

For high-risk stage II and stage III colorectal cancer, even after radical resection and postoperative adjuvant chemo/radiotherapy, 30-40% of patients will still have recurrence and metastasis. Thymosin-alpha 1 is believed to improve immunity and may help promote tumor immunity to reduce the incidence of recurrence and metastasis. This study hopes to verify the effecacy and safety of thymosin-alpha 1 for adjuvant treatment of high-risk stage II and stage III colorectal cancer after radical resection.

Full detailed description

Patients with pathological high-risk stage II and stage III colorectal cancer after radical resection were randomly allocated to receive thymosin-alpha 1 twice a week for 6 months (experimental group) or not (control group) in a 1:1 ratio. At the same time, all patients will receive chemo/radiotherapy according to the Chinese Standards for Diagnosis and Treatment of Colorectal Cancer. The primary endpoint is 3-year DFS rate.

Interventions

Treatment arms and agents.

DRUG

Thymosin Alpha1

Receive thymosin-alpha 1 1.6mg with subcutaneous injection, twice a week, for 6 months after radical resection.
