About this trial

This is an observational, retrospective-prospective, multicentre trial enrolling all patients included in the AIFA monitoring registry of Dostarlimab for the indication in rectal cancer. The aims of the study are to describe the clinical outcomes and safety of patients with dMMR/MSI-H locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) receiving neoadjuvant dostarlimab in the real-world setting.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Objective response rate (ORR)

Defined as the percentage of trial participants having a CR or PR, as per RECIST v1.1.

Time frame
after 3 , 6 and 9 cycles of dostarlimab. Each cycle is 21 days. Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

duration of clinical complete response

defined as the time from the first documented date of clinical complete response to the date of documented local tumor regrowth, disease recurrence, or last available follow-up, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
up to to 12 months
2

near-complete clinical response rate

absence of mass at digital rectal exam, small mucosal irregularity or superficial ulcer no more than 2 cm in diameter at endoscopic exam, and no metastatic nodes at MRI.

Time frame
at 6 and 12 months up to 12 months
3

duration of near-complete clinical response

defined as the time from the first documented date of near-complete clinical response to the date of documented conversion to complete clinical response, local tumor regrowth, disease recurrence, or last available follow-up, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
up to 12 months
4

rate of surgery (total mesorectal excision or local excision)

defined as the proportion of patients who undergo surgical resection of the primary tumor, including either total mesorectal excision (TME) or local excision

Time frame
at 6 months (at the end of neoadjuvant dostarlimab)
