Clinical Trial Summary

PRELUDE-1 study is a pilot intervention trial that aims to describe the immunologic and genetic evolutions induced by stereotactic body radiationtherapy (SBRT) treatment in oligometastatic Colorectal Cancer (omCRC) patients with two-three nodules lung-limited disease.

Description:

PRELUDE-1 study is a monocentric pilot interventional trial. The study concerns all patients enrolled with a diagnosis of oligometastatic Colorectal Cancer (omCRC) with two-three nodules lung-limited disease and treated with SBRT technique. SBRT will be delivered according to a risk-adapted protocol.

Tumor genetic background will be assessed on primary FFPE (Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded) tissues. Liquid biopsy will be done on blood samples collected before radiotherapy (RT) start and after 40 days to monitor tumor DNA evolution. The most direct method to assess cancer genetics relies on sampling of tumor DNA and its characterization through whole genome sequencing techniques (NGS, Next Generation Sequencing).

The study will last 48 months, divides as follow: 24 months of enrollment phase and up to 24 months of follow-up. Follow-up will be performed on the 40th day after the end of radiation treatment and then every 3 months until progression.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	To assess the efficacy of SBRT in inducing a regressive genetic trajectory of KRAS gene (evaluated by NGS technique) after SBRT treatment.	A genetic regressive trajectory is defined as KRAS mutated (any mutation) before SBRT and wild-type after SBRT (mutKRAS before SBRT?wtKRAS after SBRT). The sample size of the study is planned on this genetic trajectory, assuming a frequency of the phenomenon of 1/130 (as desumed from literature review). To be exhaustive, other realistic combinations are: wtKRAS?wtKRAS; mutKRAS?mutKRAS; wtKRAS?mutKRAS. Other assumptions for sample size calculation are: an alpha value of 0.05; a priori successful events rate of 0.077; 1-beta=0.60.	40 days after the end of RT
Secondary	To evaluate the response according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria, version 1.1 including any eventual abscopal effect.		Up to 24 months after the end of RT
Secondary	To evaluate the responses' duration (measured from the time of documented objective response until documented tumor progression).		Up to 24 months after the end of RT
Secondary	To evaluate the progression-free (PFS) survival (from the data of treatment start untill progression).		Up to 24 months after the end of RT
Secondary	The toxicity, which will be graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) of the National Cancer Institute, version 5.0, November 27, 2017.	The CTCAE displays Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE based on this general guideline. Higher scores mean worse outcome.	Up to 24 months after the end of RT
Secondary	Tumor immune microenvironment in primary tumour	Evaluate the tumor immune microenvironment (in particular the number of CD3+/CD8+/Granzyme B+ lymphocytes) of primary CRCs by immunohistochemistry (IHC).	40 days after the end of RT
Secondary	Metabolic response (exploratory studies)	Assess the value of metabolic response by FDG-PET (fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography) through SUV (Standardized Uptake Value) percentage modifications [(SUV after SBRT-SUV before SBRT/SUV before SBRT)x100].	40 days after the end of RT
