About this study

Official title: Short Course Radiotherapy With Total Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy in Rectal Cancer

This is a open-label, single-arm study to investigate the safety and efficacy of Total neoadjuvant chemotherapy with camrelizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody drug following short course radiotherapy in patients with rectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Patients with rectal cancer are assigned to receive preoperative 5 × 5 Gy irradiation over 5 days with total neoadjuvant chemotherapy and camrelizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody drug. The Primary Objective is to assess clinical complete response of an organ preservation approach and the secondary objective to assess safety in all enrolled patients, local regrowth rate and other cancer specific outcomes (metastasis-free survival, colostomy-free survival and overall survival), longitudinal health-related quality of life of this organ preservation approach.

Being tested
Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, IMRT
Medical subject headings
Rectal Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ChemotherapyDrug

    CAPOX (6 cycles): Oxaliplatin(130mg/m2) on day 1 of each cylce and Capecitabine: Dose of 2000mg/m2,14 days, q3w

  • ImmunotherapyDrug

    Camrelizumab (6 cycles): 200mg on day 1 of each cycle, q3w

  • IMRTRadiation

    Radiotherapy (5 Gy x 5 fractions)

Study groups in NCT04558684
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
radiotherapy, chemotherapy and PD1 inhibitorExperimentalTreatment will comprise 5 daily fractions of radiotherapy at 5 Gy per fraction followed by chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Those who achieve a clinical complete response will be considered for organ preservation approach. All other patients will receive standard surgery.
Receives: Drug: Chemotherapy; Drug: Immunotherapy; Radiation: IMRT

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical complete response rate (cCR)

    Proportion of patients who achieve a clinical complete response following treatment

    Measured: 8 (+/-4 ) weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Local regrowth rate

    Presence of adenocarcinoma within the rectal wall or within the mesorectum confirmed by pathology

    Measured: 2 year

  2. Disease free survival (DFS)

    Five years disease-free survival of this group of patients

    Measured: 5 year

  3. Overall survival (OS)

    Fives years overall survival of this group of patients

    Measured: 5 year

  4. Incidence of adverse events (AEs)

    Incidence of adverse events will be assessed according to the latest "Clavien- Dindo Classification of surgical complications" and Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events (CTCAE).

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy and IMRT in people with Rectal Cancer and Radiotherapy, run by Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical complete response rate (cCR) (time frame: 8 (+/-4 ) weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Jan 2024.
