About this trial

This study aims to elucidate the effects of neoadjuvant Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy in locally advanced MSS rectal cancer.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years old and ≤70 years old.

Pathologically diagnosed MSS ((confirmed by microsatellite stable detection or next-generation target sequencing) or (confirmed by immunohistochemistry)) colon adenocarcinoma.

The lower edge of the tumor is less than 12cm from the anus as measured by colonoscopy and MRI,or TRUS.

It was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or intracavitary ultrasound of the rectum as T3-4 or N+, and M0 by enhanced CT.

Disqualifiers

Early rectal cancer (T1-2N0M0); The lower margin of the tumor was less than 5cm from the anus and T4. APR(combined abdominal perineal resection) is required;

Multifocal colorectal cancer.

Tumor obstruction or high risk of obstruction, bleeding, and/or perforation requiring emergency surgery or stent placement.

Cannot tolerate chemotherapy or immunotherapy, such as but not limited to bone marrow suppression.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy

    Drug

    Drug: Oxaliplatin Oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 for chemotherapy on Day 1 every 3 weeks and repeat for 2 or 4 cycles. The dose reduction protocol for oxaliplatin-induced toxicity was implemented according to the report in BJC (2018) 118:1322-1328. Drug: Capecitabine Oral Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 twice daily combined with oxaliplatin chemotherapy from Day 1 to Day 14 every 3 weeks and repeat for 2 or 4 cycles. The dose reduction protocol for capecitabine-induced toxicity was implemented according to the report in BJC (2018) 118:1322-1328. Drug: Anti-PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody 200 mg on Day 1 every 3 weeks and repeat for 2 or 4 cycles. The incidence of adverse events with Anti-PD-1 Monoclonal Antibodies is relatively low. The PD-1 monoclonal antibody (Tislelizumab) dose adjustment was implemented according to the prescribing information. Other Names: Tislelizumab Procedure: Colectomy The specific surgical approach, whether it be laparoscopic

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pathological complete response (pCR) rate

the proportion of tumor regression grades 0 (TRG0, disappearance of tumor cells) in the pathological specimens of surgically resected tumors

Time frame
7days of postoperative pathological examination

Secondary outcomes

1

Complete Clinical Response(cCR) rate

cCR:After non-surgical antitumor therapy, physical examination and auxiliary examination(CT and MRI ) found no local evidence of tumor residue.

Time frame
5 days before surgery
2

3-year disease-free survival(DFS) rate

DFS:From date of the patient signs the informed consent form until the date of earliest occurrence of the patient's tumor recurrence or death, whichever came first.assessed up to 36 months.CT, MRI and colonoscopy were used to evaluate tumor recurrence.

Time frame
36 months from date of the patient signs the informed consent form
3

3-year overall survival(OS) rate

OS:From the date of the patient signs the informed consent form until the date of the patient's death.assessed up to 36 months.

Time frame
36 months from date of the patient signs the informed consent form
4

the rate of adverse events(AEs)

Adverse events (NCI CTC AE 5.0) that occurred from the first day of chemotherapy to one day of treatment end (up to half a year).

Time frame
From the first day of immunotherapy until 6 months after the end of treatment

Other outcomes

1

T lymphocyte

Cells with cellular immune function. The types and counts of T cells are analyzed using flow cytometry

Time frame
1-7 days before treatment, 1-7 days before surgery, 1 day after surgery, 3 months after surgery, and 6 months after surgery
2

Molecular pathological analysis of tumor tissue

Whole exome gene sequencing is performed on tumor specimens to analyze the gene status

Time frame
Tumor tissue was obtained 1 month before treatment and analyzed 36 months after treatment
