简要总结
The objective of the TransValid-KFO179/GRCSG-Trial-A is the validation of potential biomarkers. These are predictive (Prediction of probability of response to a certain therapy) / prognostic (predicting long-term outcome) microarray-based gene expression signatures and immunohistochemically evaluated biomarkers. The evaluation was done within the KFO179 (www.kfo179.de) - the validation is implemented in this trial.
Therefore tumor material of patients undergoing standard radiochemotherapy will be analyzed from pretreatment biopsies an residual tissue from the resection specimen after surgery. This validation and the biomaterial asservation will be incorporated into clinical routine in all participating centers as a model for the treatment of solid tumors. The obtained biomarkers with a predictive and prognostic power will be used to develop an algorithm to predict patients at high risk of local and distant cancer recurrence.
详细描述
The objective of the TransValid-KFO179/GRCSG-Trial-A is to validate the predictive/prognostic microarray-based gene expression signatures and single gene biomarkers (including 5-Fluorouracil (FU) metabolism, apoptosis, Kirsten Rat Sarcoma (KRAS), CpGCpG island methylation phenotype (CIMP) and TGF-beta pathway), which have been established in patients treated with standard 5-FU based RCT in the GRCSG trials (e.g. the CAO/ARO/AIO-94-, CAO/ARO/AIO-04-phase III trials). This validation will be incorporated into clinical routine in all participating centers as a model for the treatment of solid tumors. If the KFO179 biomarkers are predictive at a satisfactory level in the validation set, we will propose a prediction algorithm to stratify the patient population into a "high"-risk and "low"-risk population to develop local and distant cancer recurrence.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of patients with histopathologically confirmed complete remission (pCR) (ypT0N0 R0) after preoperative RCTx related to pretherapeutically determined gene expression signature predicting tumor response to RCTx.
时间窗: 1 year after surgery
The efficacy of the pretherapeutically determined response prediction using a reliable and robust panel of biomarkers (gene expression signature) is assessed by several clinicopathological parameters after preoperative RCTx and TME-surgery that indicate response and toxicity (ypN-status, pCR, tumor regression-grading, R-status, toxicity). Timepoint for measuring the gene expression signature is the time of diagnosis (pretreatment biopsy); several immunohistochemical biomarkers (Thymidylatesynthase, Survivin, HER-2) will be determined in the pretreatment biopsy as well as at the time of resection in the residual tumor tissue.
次要结局
- acute and late toxicity of the chemotherapy according to the CommonToxicity Criteria of the National Cancer Institute (CTC) (vs 4.0)(up to 5 years after therapy)
- Cumulative incidence of local relapses and distant metastases(up to 5 years after surgery)
- Quality of TME-surgery according to M.E.R.C.U.R.Y classification(30 days after surgery based on surgical and histopathological findings/reports)
- Overall cancer specific survival (CSS) after 3 and 5 years(up to 5 years after surgery)
- R0-rate of resection(30 days after surgery based on histopathological findings and reports)
- post-operative 30-day mortality(30 days after surgery)
- post-operative late complications (defecation problems, anastomotic, stenoses, loss of sphincter function)(up to 5 years after surgery)
- Disease free survival (DSF) after 2 and 3 years (local and/or distant recurrences)(up to 3 years after surgery)
- post-operative morbidity (esp. rate of anastomotic insufficiencies)(30 days after surgery)
- Quality of life (QL) according to the EORTC-Questionnaire QLQ-30 (3.0)(up to 5 years after surgery)
