About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Tislelizumab as Adjuvant Therapy for Patients With High-risk Stage Ⅱ and Stage Ⅲ Colon Cancer and Deficient Mismatch Repair or Microsatellite Instability.

10%-15% of early-stage colon cancers harbour either deficient mismatch repair (dMMR), microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) is characterised by high tumour mutational burden and increased lymphocytic infiltrate. Metastatic dMMR colon cancers are highly sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibition.The MSI phenotype is associated with a better prognosis than MSS in stage II and III CRCs. However, there are conflicting data about the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy in this group of patients.

We are conducting a single arm study phase II trial to determine if the anti-PD-1 antibody Tislelizumab improves disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with high risk stage II and stage III dMMR/MSI-H colon cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study is a phase II, single arm study with main purpose to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Tislelizumab as adjuvant therapy for patients with high-risk stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ colon cancer and deficient mismatch repair or microsatellite instability.

Tumour MMR status will be routinely tested locally as per NICE guidelines (either in the pre-operative biopsy or resection specimen). Subjects whose tumours are dMMR can sign the main study consent and undergo the study screening procedures.All eligible patients receive received 200 mg Tislelizumab intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events (AEs) or withdrawal of consent. The maximum duration of the trial intervention period was 1 year.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary End point: Disease Free survival [ Time Frame: 3 years ]

    Disease-free survival (DFS) at 3 years. DFS is measured from the date of randomisation to the date of first relapse (radiological or clinical) or death from any cause.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall survival

    the time from randomization to death, from any cause

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Incidence of adverse events

    Incidence of adverse events

    Measured: Up to 30 days after last treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tislelizumab in people with Colon Cancer, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.

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 10 inclusion and 12 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 phase mean?

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Primary End point: Disease Free survival [ Time Frame: 3 years ] (time frame: 3 years). 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 9 Feb 2022.
