简要总结

Most colorectal cancers are microsatellite stable (MSS) or mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR) subtypes, which show limited efficacy to PD-1 inhibitors. Radiotherapy can enhance the release of tumor-associated antigens, thereby improving the responsiveness of pMMR/MSS colorectal cancers to PD-1 blockade. Tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) are critical sites where PD-1 inhibitors exert their antitumor effects; however, previous studies have reported that direct radiation-induced damage and fibrosis may impair lymphatic drainage and antitumor immunity. Early reports have demonstrated a remarkable pathological complete response (pCR) rate of 77.8% with lymph node-sparing short-course radiotherapy (25 Gy in 5 fractions) in locally advanced rectal cancer. In metastatic colorectal cancer, single-fraction high-dose irradiation (6-8 Gy) has been shown to induce robust abscopal effects. Based on these findings, our study aims to evaluate whether lymph node-sparing hypofractionated radiotherapy (25 Gy/5F or 24 Gy/4F) followed sequentially by chemotherapy and PD-1 blockade can increase the pCR rate, improve tolerability, and ultimately enhance outcomes in patients with pMMR/MSS high-risk locally advanced colon cancer.

入选标准

  • Voluntarily signs a written informed consent form.
  • Age ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years at enrollment.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or
  • Life expectancy > 2 years.
  • Histologically confirmed colon adenocarcinoma (without squamous or sarcomatoid components).
  • Tumor biopsy by immunohistochemistry indicating pMMR, i.e., MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 all positive, or genomic testing indicating MSS.
  • Per AJCC 8th edition, imaging (contrast-enhanced CT or contrast-enhanced MRI) shows T4 and/or N+ disease (stage IIB-III).
  • Prior to enrollment, the subject must be evaluated by a surgery attending physician responsible for the operation, based on medical history, to confirm eligibility for R0 resection with curative intent.
  • No prior systemic or local antitumor therapy for rectal cancer before study treatment, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologics, or small-molecule targeted therapy.
  • Subject agrees to collection and study use of required tumor tissue and peripheral blood specimens during screening and throughout the study.
  • Adequate organ function:
  • a) Hematologic (no blood components or hematopoietic growth factors within 7 days before starting study treatment): i. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L (1,500/mm³); ii. Platelets ≥ 100 × 10⁹/L (100,000/mm³); iii. Hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L. b) Renal: i. Calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 50 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula: CrCl (mL/min) = {(140 - age) × weight (kg) × 0.85} / [72 × serum creatinine (mg/dL)] ii. Urine protein < 2+ or 24-hour urine protein < 1.0 g. c) Hepatic: i. Total bilirubin (TBil) ≤ 1.5 × ULN; ii. AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 × ULN; iii. Serum albumin (ALB) ≥ 28 g/L. d) Coagulation: i. INR and aPTT ≤ 1.5 × ULN. e) Cardiac: i. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%.
  • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a urine or serum pregnancy test within 3 days prior to starting study treatment (if the urine test cannot be definitively interpreted as negative, a serum test is required; the serum result prevails) and the result must be negative. If a WOCBP has sexual intercourse with a non-sterilized male partner, she must begin using an acceptable contraceptive method from screening and agree to continue contraception for 120 days after the last dose of study drug; whether contraception can be discontinued thereafter should be discussed with the investigator. Periodic abstinence and calendar/rhythm methods are unacceptable.
  • WOCBP are defined as females who have not undergone surgical sterilization (i.e., bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or total hysterectomy) and have not been postmenopausal (amenorrhea for ≥12 consecutive months without an alternative medical cause, with serum FSH in the postmenopausal range).
  • A highly effective method of contraception is one with a low failure rate when used consistently and correctly (e.g., <1% per year). Not all methods are highly effective. Barrier methods alone are not acceptable; WOCBP must at minimum use a hormonal contraceptive (e.g., oral contraceptives) to ensure no pregnancy occurs.
  • Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study requirements.

排除标准

  • Suspicious metastatic lesions or the presence of unresectable locally advanced disease, regardless of stage.
  • Malignancy other than colorectal cancer within 5 years prior to enrollment. Subjects cured by local therapy for other malignancies (e.g., basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ) are not excluded.
  • Receipt of any investigational drug or device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.
  • Intestinal obstruction, perforation, gastrointestinal bleeding, or other conditions requiring emergency surgery.
  • Multiple primary colorectal cancers.
  • Prior radiotherapy to the pelvis or abdomen.
  • Inability to swallow tablets, malabsorption syndrome, or any condition that affects gastrointestinal absorption.
