About this study

Official title: Radiotherapy Followed by Chemotherapy and Anti-PD-1 Immunotherapy in MSS Rectal Cancer With Resectable Liver/ Pulmonary Metastasis(Miracle-1): A Prospective, Single Arm, Multi-Center, Phase II Clinical Trial

Although patients with locally advanced rectal cancer and resectable liver/pulmonary metastasis could benefit from surgery resection, these patients still have a poorer prognosis compared to those without distal metastasis. Based on previous studies, there is no confirmation of whether these patients could benefit from preoperative immunotherapy combined with conventional chemoradiotherapy. This study proposes a combination therapy, preoperative short-course radiotherapy followed by neoadjuvant chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, for microsatellite-stable patients with locally advanced rectal cancer and resectable liver/pulmonary metastasis, to assess its impact on tumor retreat, decline of postoperative metastasis and recurrence, and the disease-free survival and overall survival of patients. Besides, this study will provide high-level medical evidence for future clinical treatment of patients with advanced rectal cancer.

Being tested
a combination therapy including tislelizumab

What participants receive

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

  • a combination therapy including tislelizumabCombination product

    Also called preoperative radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy and chemotherapy

    Patients will receive tislelizumab in combination with neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and will be evaluated 2-3 weeks after completion of the treatment. Those patients who achieve complete clinical regression of the lesion can choose observation, but for those without CCR, surgical resection (TME of the primary lesion, surgical resection of metastases or other destructive local treatment) will be applied. Patients will continue to receive tislelizumab for one year after surgery or during observation.

    For liver/pulmonary metastasis, the treatment plan is to implement large fraction radiotherapy for 4-8 times. For primary rectum lesion, short-course radiotherapy regimen through intensity-modulated radiotherapy will be applied with dose of 25Gy/5Fx.

    Immunotherapy contains anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, Tislelizumab(200mg, d1, q3w x6, i.v). Chemotherapy adopts CAPEOX plan, including Capecitabine(1000mg/m2 bid, d1-14, p.o) and oxaliplatin(130mg/m2, d1, i.v).

What is being measured

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

  1. NED rate

    rate of no evidence of disease for one year

    Measured: 1 years after treatment

Secondary outcomes (6)

  1. Overall Survival

    For patients who still survive when the final analysis takes place, the date of the last 1 contact will be recorded.

    Measured: 5 years after surgery

  2. Disease Free Survival

    DFS refers to the period of time between the date of surgery and the day of the patient's tumor recurrence or death (earliest occurrence).

    Measured: 5 years after surgery

  3. Local Recurrence

    The date of recurrence is defined as the date on which an objective examination yields a positive result.

    Measured: 5 years after surgery

  4. Objective Response Rate

    Percentage of patients with objective response to primary or metastatic lesions

    Measured: 5 years after surgery

  5. Tumor Regression Rate

    Surgical excision specimens are taken every 1 cm, and the sections are given to at least 2 pathologists for independent scoring

    Measured: 5 years after surgery

  6. Acute toxicity associated with immunotherapy

    According to the NCI CTCAE v5.0 assessment, the proportion of patients with treatment-related acute toxicity developed from the beginning of treatment to 90 days after the end of immunotherapy

    Measured: from the beginning of treatment to 90 days after the end of immunotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing a combination therapy including tislelizumab in people with Advanced Rectal Cancer and Liver Metastasis, run by Fudan University 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 29 inclusion and 29 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 14 Nov 2022. 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 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?

Contact Xinxiang Li, MD (86-21-64175590, lxx1449@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

NED rate (time frame: 1 years after treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05359393.

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 14 Nov 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
