Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
Conditions
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
During neo-CRT: 2 cycles of AK104, 10mg/kg d1 q3w. After neo-CRT: 3 cycles of AK104, 10mg/kg d1 q3w.
During neo-CRT: 825mg/m2 bid Monday-Friday per week
IMRT DT: 50Gy/25Fx

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Complete response (CR) rate | an average of 6 months. | Rate of complete response (CR), including pathologic complete response (pCR) and clinical complete response (cCR). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival | From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 60 months. | 5 year overall survival rate |
| Adverse effects | From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years | Adverse effects according to CTCAE 5.0 |
| Rate of Major pathologic response and tumor regression grade distribution | an average of 1 year. | Rate of Major pathologic response and tumor regression grade distribution |
| Local recurrence free survival | From 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 survival | From 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 function | 1.5 year after diagnosis | Long-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 complications | The 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. |
