Brief summary

Assuming that the objective response rate (ORR) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis is approximately 0.40 , a total sample size of 30 patients is required. Step 1: Ten patients will be initially enrolled. If the number of responders (CR/PR) is \< 2, the study will be terminated early for futility. If the number of responders is \> 8, the treatment regimen will be considered effective, and the study may be concluded early. Step 2: If the number of responders in Step 1 is between 2 and 8, the study will continue to enroll an additional 20 patients until completion. Treatment regimen: CapeOX + Pirfenidone + Sintilimab CapeOX: Oxaliplatin (L-OHP) 130 mg/m², IV infusion over 2 hours on Day 1 Capecitabine 1,000 mg/m² orally, twice daily for 14 consecutive days Repeated every 3 weeks Pirfenidone: Oral administration, 200 mg three times daily, taken on an empty stomach (low-dose regimen) Sintilimab: 200 mg per dose, IV infusion once every 3 weeks The first 4 cycles are provided free of charge. After the fourth cycle, tumor response will be assessed; if continued use is required, a buy 2, get 2 free policy will apply. Tumor response evaluation will be performed after 4 treatment cycles.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
ORR3monthsObjective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve a best overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) during neoadjuvant therapy, as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 criteria.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survival2years
Safety6monthsThe severity of adverse events was determined using the NCI-CTC AE 5.0 standard. During the trial, the adverse event record form should be filled in truthfully, including the time of occurrence, severity, relevance to the study treatment, duration, measures taken, and outcome of the adverse event.
