Conditions

Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

Brief summary

This is an open-label, single-arm study to investigate the efficacy and safety of AK104 (an Anti-PD1 and Anti-CTLA4 Bispecific Antibody) and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with pMMR/MSS locally advanced rectal cancer.

Detailed description

The study evaluates the addition of AK104(an Anti-PD1 and Anti-CTLA4 Bispecific Antibody) in neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in proficient Mismatch Repair (pMMR) /Microsatellite Stable (MSS) locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). A total of 33 pMMR/MSS LARC patients will receive long-course chemoradiotherapy plus 2 cycles of AK104, followed by another 3 cycles of AK104, finally received clinical routine manage. The tumor response to treatment, adverse effects and long-term prognosis will be analyzed.

Interventions

DRUGAK104

During neo-CRT: 2 cycles of AK104, 10mg/kg d1 q3w. After neo-CRT: 3 cycles of AK104, 10mg/kg d1 q3w.

DRUGCapecitabine

During neo-CRT: 825mg/m2 bid Monday-Friday per week

IMRT DT: 50Gy/25Fx

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Complete response (CR) ratean average of 6 months.Rate of complete response (CR), including pathologic complete response (pCR) and clinical complete response (cCR).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survivalFrom date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 60 months.5 year overall survival rate
Adverse effectsFrom date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 yearsAdverse effects according to CTCAE 5.0
Rate of Major pathologic response and tumor regression grade distributionan average of 1 year.Rate of Major pathologic response and tumor regression grade distribution
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
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
Long-term anal function1.5 year after diagnosisLong-term anal function was evaluated using the Wexner Continence Grading Scale ,the score being calculated after the patients' completion of a daily defecatory questionnaire. Range is from 0 (normal continence) to 20 (maximum incontinence with maximum disturbance of lifestyle)
Rate of surgical complicationsThe surgery was scheduled 2-4 weeks after the end of neoadjuvant therapy. And the surgical complications were assessed up to 1 year from the surgery.Rate of surgical complications, such as intraoperative hemorrhage, anastomotic leakage, intestinal obstruction, etc.
