Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pembrolizumab in combination with XELOX and bevacizumab as 1st line treatment of microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with a high immune infiltrate. Efficacy will be determined by analysis of the number of patients alive and without radiological and/or clinical progression at 10 months (based on RECIST 1.1 criteria evaluated by the investigator).;Secondary Objective: -Overall survival (median) -Serious adverse events evaluated according to NCI-CTC v4.0 -Histological response in case of secondary resection (TRG criteria) -Secondary resection rate (R0 and R1) -Outcome of tumour markers (CEA and CA19.9) Evaluated according to the investigator and centralised review (according to RECIST V1.1 criteria): -Percentage of patients alive and without progression at 10 months (centralised review) -Progression-free survival (median) -Time to progression -Time to objective response -Best response during treatment -Depth of response -Early tumour shrinkage at 9 weeks Evaluated according to centralised review according to iRECIST criteria: -Percentage of patients alive and without progression at 10 months -Progression-free survival (median) -Time to progression -Early tumour shrinkage at 9 weeks ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the percentage of patients alive and without progression at 10 months. Progression is defined by: -radiological progression evaluated by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. -death, whatever the cause ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months after last inclusion

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Overall survival: is defined as time between date of inclusion and date of death of patient (whatever the cause) or date of last news if patient is alive. - Grades 3 – 4 adverse events: will be evaluated according to NCI-CTC v4.0 criteria and described by maximum grade based on total duration of treatment and 30 days after treatment. - Secondary resection rate (R0 and R1): is defined as the percentage of patients who underwent surgery on their metastatic lesions after the protocol treatment. - Histological response in case of secondary resection: is evaluated according to the TRG (Rubbia-Brandt L et al. Annals Oncol 2007), in patients who underwent a secondary resection. This response is evaluated according to the various categories: TRG1/TRG 2/TRG 3/TRG 4/TRG 5. - Outcome of tumour markers (CEA and CA19.9): the evolution of the markers will be analyzed by a graphic representation of the percentage change from baseline rate. - Progression-free survival, according to the investigator (RECIST criteria) and in centralised review (RECIST and iRECIST criteria): is defined as the time between date of inclusion and date of a first radiological progression or the date of death of patient (whatever the cause). Patients alive without progression will be censured at date of last news. According to iRECIST criteria (see Appendix 4), progression will be considered as an event if it is confirmed. If the patient dies before confirmation of progression, the event will be considered as unconfirmed progression. - The percentage of patients alive and without progression at 10 months (according to centralised review, RECIST and iRECIST criteria): progression is defined as radiological progression or death, whatever the cause. According to iRECIST criteria, the patient will be considered as in progression if progression is confirmed in the next 2 months. - Time to progression, according to the investigator (RECIST criteria) and in centralised review
