简要总结

The primary endpoint of this trial, organ preservation, is defined as follows: survival with rectum intact, no major surgery, no stoma. Accordingly, the primary endpoint, organ preservation, will not be reached if any of the following occurs: (1) death, (2) any major surgery other than local excision (R0) performed after randomization, during TNT, at re-staging scheduled 22-24 weeks after start of TNT due to clinical non-cCR, or for any locoregional regrowth after initial cCR requiring salvage-TME, (3) any locoregional regrowth not amenable to salvage surgery, or (4) any stoma (non-re-converted protective stoma within 6 months after completion of TNT, or any stoma needed for toxicity or poor function), whichever occurs first. We hypothesized that the 3-year organ preservation rate will improve from 30% in the control arm to 40% in the investigational arm (hazard ratio of 0.76). With a power of 90% and a two-sided type I error of 5%, the sample size required to obtain a statistically significant difference is 702 patients (564 events) in total.

入选标准

  • •Male and female patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of rectal adenocarcinoma localised 0 – 12 cm from the anocutaneous line as measured by rigid rectoscopy (i.e. lower and middle third of the rectum).
  • •Staging requirements: High-resolution, thin-sliced (i.e. 3 mm) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis is the mandatory local staging procedure.
  • •MRI-defined inclusion criteria: presence of at least one of the following high-risk conditions: any cT3 if the distal extent of the tumor is < 6 cm from the anocutaneous line, or cT3c/d in the middle third of the rectum (≥ 6-12 cm) with MRI evidence of extramural tumor spread into the mesorectal fat of more than 5 mm (>cT3b), or cT3 with clear cN+ based on strict MRI-criteria (see appendix) cT4 tumors, or Tany middle/low third of rectum with clear MRI criteria for N+, mrCRM+ (≤1mm), or Extramural venous invasion (EMVI+).
  • •Transrectal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is additionally used when MRI is not definitive to exclude early cT1/T2 disease in the lower third of the rectum or early cT3a/b tumors in the middle third of the rectum.
  • •Spiral-CT of the abdomen and chest to exclude distant metastases.
  • •Aged at least 18 years. No upper age limit.
  • •WHO/ECOG Performance Status ≤
  • •Adequate haematological, hepatic, renal and metabolic function parameters: Leukocytes ≥ 3.000/mm3 , ANC ≥ 1.500/mm3 , platelets ≥ 100.000/mm3 , Hb > 9 g/dl. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal. Bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dl, SGOT-SGPT, and AP ≤ 3 x upper limit of normal.
  • •Informed consent of the patient.

排除标准

  • •Lower border of the tumor localised more than 12 cm from the anocutaneous line as measured by rigid rectoscopy.
  • •Other concomitant antineoplastic therapy.
  • •Serious concurrent diseases, including neurologic or psychiatric disorders (incl. dementia and uncontrolled seizures), active, uncontrolled infections, active, disseminated coagulation disorder.
  • •Clinically significant cardiovascular disease in (incl. myocardial infarction, unstable angina, symptomatic congestive heart failure, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia) ≤ 6 months before enrolment.
  • •Prior or concurrent malignancy ≤ 3 years prior to enrolment in study (Exception: non- melanoma skin cancer or cervical carcinoma FIGO stage 0-1), if the patient is continuously disease-free.
  • •Known allergic reactions on study medication.
  • •Known dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency (activity score < 1,5 after genetic testing of DPYD variants)
  • •Psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule (these conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial).
  • •Distant metastases (to be excluded by CT scan of the thorax and abdomen).
  • •Prior antineoplastic therapy for rectal cancer.
  • •Prior radiotherapy of the pelvic region.
  • •Major surgery within the last 4 weeks prior to inclusion.
  • •Subject pregnant or breast feeding, or planning to become pregnant within 6 months after the end of treatment.
  • •Subject (male or female) is not willing to use highly effective methods of contraception (per institutional standard) during treatment and for 6 months (male or female) after the end of treatment (adequate: oral contraceptives, intrauterine device or barrier method in conjunction with spermicidal jelly).
  • •On-treatment participation in a clinical study in the period 30 days prior to inclusion.
  • •Previous or current drug abuse.
