Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Phase 1/Phase 2 |
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.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: radiotherapy, chemotherapy and PD1 inhibitor Treatment 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. |
Drug: Chemotherapy
CAPOX (6 cycles): Oxaliplatin(130mg/m2) on day 1 of each cylce and Capecitabine: Dose of 2000mg/m2,14 days, q3w
Drug: Immunotherapy
Camrelizumab (6 cycles): 200mg on day 1 of each cycle, q3w
Radiation: IMRT
Radiotherapy (5 Gy x 5 fractions)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Clinical complete response rate (cCR) [8 (+/-4 ) weeks]
Proportion of patients who achieve a clinical complete response following treatment
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Local regrowth rate [2 year]
Presence of adenocarcinoma within the rectal wall or within the mesorectum confirmed by pathology
- Disease free survival (DFS) [5 year]
Five years disease-free survival of this group of patients
- Overall survival (OS) [5 year]
Fives years overall survival of this group of patients
- Incidence of adverse events (AEs) [1 year]
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).
