Short-Course Online Adaptive Radiotherapy Combined With Chemotherapy, Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy as Total Neoadjuvant Therapy (TNT) for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

Официальное название

A Single-Arm, Phase 2 Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Short-Course Online Adaptive Radiotherapy Combined With Chemotherapy, Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy as Total Neoadjuvant Therapy (TNT) for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

Обзор

Standard treatment for patients with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) / microsatellite stable (MSS) locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) consists primarily of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical surgery. Several studies (including the UNION, STELLAR, TORCH, and SPRING-01 trials, etc) have demonstrated that the neoadjuvant strategy of short-course radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy can improve pCR rate in patients with pMMR/MSS LARC, and might also provide higher organ preservation rates and long-term survival benefits. The study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of a TNT regimen comprising short-course radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy, cetuximab N01 (for patients with wild-type RAS/BRAF) or bevacizumab (for patients with mutant RAS/BRAF), and sintilimab in patients with high-risk LARC.

• Any disease or condition affecting drug absorption prior to enrollment, or inability of the patient to take oral medication.
• Active gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric and duodenal ulcer, ulcerative colitis prior to enrollment, or other conditions judged by the investigator that may cause gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation.
