Filter by:This is a prospective, one arm phase II study aimed to observe the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab combined with fruquintinib in treatment of patients with pMMR / MSS locally advanced rectal cancer with high immune score.
This study is aimed to develop a genome-based platform to predict patients who can achieve pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant treatment in locally advanced rectal cancer. The main treatments for locally advanced rectal cancer is surgical removal such as lower anterior resection after neoadjuvant CCRT. About 10-40% of patients showed pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant CCRT. Mandard tumor regression grade (TRG) is used to grade the histologic tumor response after neoadjuvant treatment. TRG 1 represents the pathologic complete response and TRG2 as histologically small group of cancer cells. Accordingly, TRG1 and 2 are expressed as good responder. Even though the surgery is being performed as an essential treatment, there are various surgery-related sequelae such as colostomy. Also, in some patients, surgery may be refused or surgery may not be performed due to an underlying disease. About 15-20% of local recurrence was reported in patients who did not undergo surgery and the 3-year survival rate was 96.6%. Colorectal cancer genetically can be divided into 4-subtypes. With the recent development of genome testing technology, genome analysis has been actively conducted in colorectal cancer. The most commonly known genetic subtype of colorectal cancer is classified into a total of 4 types as consensus molecular subtype (CMS); CMS1, CMS2, CMS3, CMS4. However, this was analyzed in colorectal cancer patients who did not undergo radiotherapy. There is no data regarding the response to radiation therapy according to each genetic subtype. Therefore, classifying the subtypes through genomic analysis and studying the responsiveness to radiotherapy in each subtype is needed. In this study, we aimed to develop a platform that predicts pathologic tumor response after CCRT based on genomic information. Furthermore, being able to select patients who can wait-and-see without surgery using platform.
This is a single arm, open-label, prospective phase II clinical trial to evaluate the combination of neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy and immunotherapy (PD-1 antibody) for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). A total of 40 patients will be enrolled in this trial to receive 5*5Gy short-course radiotherapy, followed by 4 cycles of CAPOX chemotherapy and PD-1 antibody. Then they will receive the TME surgery and another 4 cycles of CAPOX chemotherapy. There are two cohorts according to the microsatellite instability status: (1) the micro-satellite stable (MSS) cohort（n=32), (2) the MSI-high cohort (n=8). The primary end point is the rate of pathological complete response (pCR). The long-term prognosis and adverse effects will also be evaluated and analyzed.
The study evaluates the addition of immunotherapy of PD-1 antibody in neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in microsatellite stable (MSS) locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). A total of 50 MSS LARC patients will receive 2 cycles of PD-1 antibody, followed by capecitabine plus irinotecan radiosensitized neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, and another 3 cycles of PD-1 antibody, finally received the total mesorectal excision (TME) and 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy of XELOX. The tumor response grade, adverse effects and long-term prognosis will be analyzed.
The study evaluates the addition of immunotherapy of PD-1 antibody in neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in microsatellite stability-high (MSI-H) locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). A total of 50 MSI-H LARC patients will receive 2 cycles of PD-1 antibody, followed by capecitabine plus irinotecan radiosensitized neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, and another 3 cycles of PD-1 antibody, finally received the total mesorectal excision (TME) and 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy of XELOX. The tumor response grade, adverse effects and long-term prognosis will be analyzed.
Multimodality treatment including surgery and radiotherapy is the current standard of care in locally advanced rectal cancer. Most clinical trials comparing short course radiotherapy (SCRT) with long course chemoradiotherapy(LCRT) did not find significant differences in oncological outcomes and short-term outcomes even though some debates. Recently, Stockholm III trial comparing SCRT plus delayed surgery with SCRT plus immediate surgery and LCRT demonstrated no differences with respect to short-term outcomes such as complications, mortality, and acute toxicity. However, overall quality of life (QoL) after curative treatment for rectal cancer is still major concern in both SCRT and LCRT. Furthermore, daily hospital visits for 5 weeks may be the cause of the increase of total medical cost due to indirect medical expense in patients with LCRT, especially in rural area. SCRT plus chemotherapy followed by delayed surgery may have the possibility of reducing total hospital costs as well as increasing QoL by proving non-inferiority in terms of perioperative outcomes. The present prospective single-arm phase 2 trial was designed to validate the efficacy, quality of life and cost effectiveness of preoperative short-course radiotherapy plus XELOX chemotherapy followed by delayed surgery for high-risk rectal cancer patient based on magnetic resonance imaging.
