Brief Summary: RATIONALE Biological therapies use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing Combining chemotherapy with biological therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of treatment using levamisole with treatment using interferon alfa and combination chemotherapy consisting of fluorouracil and leucovorin in patients with stage II or stage III colorectal cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Assess the efficacy of the addition of levamisole or alfa interferon to fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium folinic acid as an adjuvant treatment of intraperitoneal colorectal cancer

OUTLINE This is a three arm study Patients are randomized to receive either levamisole alfa interferon or no treatment

Arm I Patients receive levamisole PO for 3 days every 2 weeks for 6 months before and after surgery Fluorouracil IV bolus and leucovorin calcium folinic acid IV over 1 hour are administered on days 1-5 every 4 weeks for 6 cycles after surgery
Arm II Patients receive alfa interferon-2a SC on 3 alternate days for a week before surgery and for 6 months after surgery Fluorouracil IV bolus and folinic acid IV over 1 hour are administered on days 1-5 every 4 weeks for 6 cycles after surgery
Arm III Patients undergo surgery followed by fluorouracil IV bolus and folinic acid IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 every 4 weeks for 6 cycles

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years then every 6 months

PROJECTED ACCRUAL 350 patients per arm will be accrued for a total of 1050 patients
