It has been observed that even after receiving this intensive treatment patients, almost 70% of patients develop acute toxicity (during or within 3 months) of grade 2 or higher (needing medication for toxicity). This affects their treatment tolerance, completion and quality of life.\n\nIn this study Researchers are going to see if addition of drug Chlorophyllin (derived from green plant leaves) along with standard treatment would help in reducing the acute toxicity. Chlorophyllin is present in all green leaves of plants giving them green color. The drug is derived from green plant leaves. As it is a plant-based product it is safe for humans and has no known side effects of its own. This is a randomized study which has two arms; Arm 1 is test arm where participants will receive drug of interest (Chlorophyllin) and in other arm participants will receive Placebo. Upon successful completion of study, outcomes from both the study arm will be compared and participants will be followed by standard protocol for 3 years.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '90 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age \\> 18 years.\n* Histologically confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the rectum.\n* Clinical Stage II/III (T2-3, 4b: adherent to prostate, SV or post vagina but not grossly invading, N0-2) based on MRI.\n* Non-circumferential tumours with craniocaudal length \\<7 cm\n* The tumours of the lower rectum, or starting up to 7 cm from the anal verge.\n* No evidence of distant metastases on CT Chest and Abdomen.\n* No prior pelvic radiation therapy\n* No prior chemotherapy or surgery for rectal cancer\n* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status 0-2\n* Patients must read, agree to, and sign a statement of Informed Consent prior to participation in this study.\n* Eligible to receive one of the options of standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy as determined by the medical oncologist team.\n\n * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \\> 1.5 cells/mm3, hemoglobin (HGB) \\> 8.0 gm/dl, platelet (PLT) \\> 150,000/mm3.\n * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (except in patients with Gilbert's Syndrome who must have total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 x ULN), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 x ULN, alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 3 x ULN.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Signet or mucinous histology cancer of rectum\n* Recurrent rectal cancer or previous pelvic radiotherapy\n* Primary unresectable rectal cancer.\n* Creatinine level greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.\n* Patients who are unable to undergo an MRI.\n* Patients with a history of any arterial thrombotic event within the past 6 months.
