About

This study is designed to test the efficacy and safety of Total Neoadjuvant Treatment plus SHR1210（an anti-PD-1 Inhibitor) for High-risk locally advanced Rectal Cancer, Meanwhile, screening effective Biomarker base on neoantigen.

Full description

The combined treatment model of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy treatment + radical rectal resection + adjuvant therapy has become the standard treatment model for locally advanced mid-low rectal cancer, However, the existing evidence shows that this comprehensive treatment method has reached the upper limit of efficacy and cannot continue to reduce the metastatic rate and improve the survival rate.

Recent studies have shown that PD-1 antibody inhibitors have excellent curative effects on the treatment of a variety of tumors and have good safety.

This study is a single-arm, single-center, prospective, phase II clinical study. It is designed to test the efficacy and safety of Total Neoadjuvant chmoradiation Treatment plus SHR1210 for High-risk locally advanced Rectal Cancer, Meanwhile, screening effective Biomarker base on neoantigen.

In this study, patients with high-risk rectal cancer will receive 3 cycles induction CapeOX and SHR-1210, intensity modulated radiotherapy with concurrent capecitabine and 2 cycles consolidation CapeOX and total mesorectal excision.

This study is designed to recruit 25 patients in all.

Exclusion criteria

• Recurrent rectal cancer.

• Anticipated unresectable tumor after neoadjuvant treatment.

• Patients with a history of a prior malignancy within the past 5 years, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer.

• Patients with a history of any arterial thrombotic event within the past 6 months. This includes angina (stable or unstable), MI, TIA, or CVA.

• Other Anticancer or Experimental Therapy.

• Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.

• Patients with any other concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease which would make them inappropriate candidates for entry into this study.

• Patients with a history of anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2 or CEGFR TKI therapy.

• Patients underwent major surgery or had not recovered from the side effects of this surgery, received a vaccine, received immunotherapy within 4 weeks before the first use of the study drug, and received radiotherapy within 2 weeks.

• Patients who received hematopoietic stimulating factors therapy, such as G-CSF and erythropoietin, within 1 week before the first administration of the study drug.

  1. Persistent or severe infection.
  2. Hypertension that can't be effectively controlled by drugs（ blood pressure reading of 150 over 90）.
  3. Uncontrolled diabetes
  4. Heart disease (Class III / IV congestive heart failure or cardiac block as defined by the New York Heart Association)
  5. Patient has or is suspected of having an autoimmune disease,Such as pituitary inflammation, colitis, hepatitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, etc.

• Patients have other serious, acute or chronic diseases or have abnormal test results, and the investigator judges that this may increase the patient's risk of participating in the trial or interfere with the results.

Trial design

Interventional model: Single Group Assignment

Masking: None (Open label)

25 participants in 1 patient group

TNT+SHR1210

Experimental group

Description:

Patients with high-risk locally advanced rectal cancer will receive chemotherapy and SHR-1210 before chemoradiaton, after chemoradiaton, patient will receive consolidation chemotherapy. This arm is called Total Neoadjuvant Treatment (TNT) plus SHR-1210. The neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen is designed as 3 cycles of CapeOX ( Capecitabine + Oxaliplatin ) plus SHR-1210 over a period of approximately 8 weeks. Tumor response will be evaluated after chemotherapy. Then patients will undergo 22f-IMRT (Intensity modulated radiotherapy) with capecitabine. Patients will receive two more cycles of consolidation CapeOX if tolerable when there was no progressed disease in induction CapeOX. Finally, patients will receive TME (Total mesorectal excision) following TNT+SHR1210 if no metastasis occurs.

Treatment:

Radiation: Intensity modulated radiotherapy

Procedure: Total mesorectal excision

Drug: SHR-1210

Drug: Oxaliplatin

Drug: Capecitabine
