Conditions

Locally Advanced Colon Cancer

Brief summary

The study evaluates the combination of immunotherapy of PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy and neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy in locally advanced colon cancer (LACC). Patients are randomly assigned into two prospective groups: treatment group and observerment group. In treatment group, a total of 60 patients will receive 5\*5Gy short-course radiotherapy, followed by 4 cycles of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPOX) chemotherapy and PD-1 antibody, finally receive the surgery. In observerment group: a total of 60 patients will receive 4 cycles of CAPOX chemotherapy, then receive the surgery. The rate of pathologic complete response (pCR), long-term prognosis and adverse effects will be analyzed.

Detailed description

This study is a prospective, randomized controlled, multicenter phase II study, with a design of superior efficacy,to compare the efficacy of neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy combined with CapOX chemotherapy and PD-1 immunotherapy in locally advanced colon cancer. We will consecutively enrolled patients who were diagnosed with locally advanced colon cancer with T4 stage or bulky nodes. A total of 120 patients will be Randomized 1:1 to the treatment group and observerment group. In observerment group, patients will receive 4 cycles of CAPOX (Capecitabine: 1000mg/m2 d1-14 q3w; Oxaliplatin: 130mg/m2 d1 q3w)chemotherapy, then receive the surgery, followed by 4 cycles of CAPOX. In treatment group, patients will receive 5\*5Gy short-course radiotherapy, followed by 4 cycles of CAPOXand PD-1 antibody(Serplulimab,300mg d1 q3w), then receive the surgery,followed by 4 cycles of CAPOX.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
pCRThe pCR rate will be evaluated after surgery, an average of 4 weekspCR was defined as the absence, from surgical samples, of malignant cells in the primary site and regional lymph nodes

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
3 year overall survival rateFrom date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 yearsRate of 3 years overall survival
3 year disease free survival rateFrom date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years.Rate of 3 years disease free survival
R0 resection rateThe R0 resection rate will be evaluated after surgery, an average of 4 weeksR0 resection refers to the complete removal of the tumor in the operation with microscopically negative margins
3 year local recurrence free survival rateFrom date of randomization until the date of first documented local-regional failure, assessed up to 3 yearsRate of 3 years local recurrence free survival
Surgical complicationsThe surgery was scheduled 2-4 weeks after the end of neoadjuvant therapy. And the surgical complications were assessed up to 5 years from the surgeryRate of surgical complications, such as intraoperative hemorrhage, anastomotic leakage, intestinal obstruction, etc.
Grade 3-4 adverse effects rateFrom date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 yearsRate of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy related severe adverse events
