Brief summary
To explore the value of PTC drug screening technique in selecting neoadjuvant therapy for advanced gastrointestinal cancer.
Detailed description
In this study, patients diagnosed with advanced gastrointestinal cancer including locally advanced gastric cancer, locally advanced colorectal cancer and colorectal cancer with liver metastasis. Tumor sample will be collected by endoscopy biopsy, needle biopsy or surgery, which will used for PTC drug screening. Patients will be randomized to two groups. Patients in experiment group will receive neoadjuvant therapy based on PTC drug screening, and patients in control group will receive neoadjuvant therapy based on clinical experience. 2-4 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy will be administered. Patients appropriate for surgery will receive radical surgery after neoadjuvant therapy. Pathological response will be compared primarily between these two groups. This is a randomized controlled, open-label and sequential designed clinical trial. All neoadjuvant therapy used in this study or for PTC drug screening comply with NCCN (National comprehensive cancer network) or CSCO (Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology) guidelines.
Interventions
PTC is an in vitro tumor model, which serves as a structural and functional unit recapitulating the original tumors in genotype, phenotype, and drug response. PTC will be used in drug screening.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pathological complete response rate(pCR) | immediately evaluated after surgery | having no invasive cancer left in the resected sample |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| objective response rate(ORR) | evaluated by imaging before surgery | CR+PR according to RECIST 1.1 |
| disease control rate(DCR) | evaluated by imaging before surgery | CR+PR+SD according to RECIST 1.1 |
| R0 resection rate | immediately evaluated after surgery | microscopically margin-negative resection, in which no gross or microscopic tumor remains in the primary tumor bed |
| prediction accuracy of PTC | immediately evaluated after surgery | consistency between the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the result of PTC assay |
| pathological response rate | immediately evaluated after surgery | tumor regression grade 0-2 |
