Conditions

Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

Brief summary

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.

Interventions

DRUGPD-1 antibody

Before neo-CRT: 2 cycles of PD-1 antibody, 240mg d1 q2w. After neo-CRT: 3 cycles of PD-1 antibody, 240mg d1 q2w.

DRUGCapecitabine

During neo-CRT: 625mg/m2 bid Monday-Friday per week

DRUGIrinotecan

During neo-CRT: 80mg/m2 qw (UGT1A1\*28 6/6) or 65mg/m2 qw (UGT1A1\*28 6/7)

IMRT DT: 50Gy/25Fx

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pathologic Complete Response RateThe pathologic complete response rate was evaluated after surgery, which was scheduled 7-8 weeks after the end of chemoradiotherapyPathologic Complete Response Rate

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Local recurrence free survivalFrom date of randomization until the date of first documented pelvic failure, assessed up to 36 months.3 year local recurrence free survival rate
Overall survivalFrom date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months.3 year overall survival rate
Adverse effectsFrom date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 yearsChemoradiation-related or immunotherapy-related adverse events
Disease free survivalFrom date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months.3 year disease free survival rate
Performance Status (Zubrod-ECOG-WHO method), range 0-5. The higher scores mean a worse quality of life.From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 10 yearsQuality of life will be evaluated
Karnofsky Performance Status, range 0-100. The higher scores mean a better quality of life.From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 10 yearsQuality of life will be evaluated
Quality of Life Scale, range 0-60. It evaluates the quality of life from 12 aspects, including appetite, mental status, sleep quality, fatigue, etc. The higher scores mean a better quality of life.From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 10 yearsQuality of life will be evaluated
Surgical complicationsThe surgery was scheduled 7-8 weeks after the end of chemoradiotherapy. And the surgical complications were assessed up to 5 years from the surgery.Surgical complications, such as intraoperative hemorrhage, anastomotic leakage, intestinal obstruction, etc.
