Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a single-center, prospective, open-label, randomized controlled clinical study, and the purpose of this study was to compare the pathological complete response rate (PCR) of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with short-course radiotherapy sequential Tislelizumab combined with CapeOX (group A) versus short-course radiotherapy sequential CapeOX (group B). A total of 100 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer will be enrolled in the study. These patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group (group A) and the control group (group B) in a ratio of 1:1.
Detailed Description
Baseline examnation: All enrolled patients in this study, in addition to routine laboratory and imaging examinations such as blood routine, blood biochemistry, serum tumor markers (Incl. CEA, CA-199, CA-724 β2-microglobulin, Ferroprotein), chest CT, abdominal and pelvic MRI, etc., were required to undergo KRAS, NRAS, BREF, PD-L1, MMR/MSS testings before SCRT, and blood lymphocyte subgroups were analyzed before SCRT, systemic therapy, and surgery. Subjects in group A will be treated according to the following treatment plan: Standard SCRT: A total radiation dose of 25 Gy was delivered in 5 fractions (from day 1 to 5) Sequential treatment period: After resting for 3-7 days following completion of SCRT, patients were treated with 4 cycles of CapeOX (Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 intravenously, day 1; Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2, Bid,days 1-14) and an additional intravenous infusion of 200mg Tislelizumab on the first day of each cycle of CapeOX. Surgery: After 3 weeks of the completion of neoadjuvant therapy, the TME surgery was performed. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy:Whether postoperative chemotherapy was implemented mainly depended on the patient's wishes, and 2 cycles of CapeOX with or without Tislelizumab will be undergone to these willing cases. Subjects in group B will be treated according to the following treatment plan: Standard SCRT: A total radiation dose of 25 Gy was delivered in 5 fractions (from day 1 to 5) Sequential treatment period: After resting for 3-7 days following completion of SCRT, patients were treated with 4 cycles of CapeOX (Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 intravenously, day 1; Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2, Bid,days 1-14). Surgery: After 3 weeks of the completion of neoadjuvant therapy, the TME surgery was performed. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy:Whether postoperative chemotherapy was implemented mainly depended on the patient's wishes, and 2 cycles of CapeOX will be undergone to these willing cases. Endpoint: The primary endpoint was pCR rate. Secondary endpoints included MPR (TRG0+TRG1), 3-year PFS, 3-year OS, and treatment safety. Follow-up records during treatment: For the duration of operation, the time required to complete the TME surgery and the amount of blood loss were recorded, and the impact of neoadjuvant therapy on the operation was observed. During the SCRT process, and the period of resting after SCRT, of the entire preoperative systemic treatment, of the resting after TME surgery, of the postoperative chemotherapy (these willing cases), the occurrence of adverse events (AE) of participants were closely monitored and actively responded.
