About this trial

This study is a single arm, single center, phase II, prospective clinical study aimed at exploring the effectiveness and safety of watch and wait strategy guided by dynamic minimal disease residual (MRD) monitoring to achieve clinical complete response after neoadjuvant immunotherapy for locally advanced colorectal cancer with deficient mismatch repair/ microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

( 1 ) Disease characteristics 1. Histologic confirmation for colorectal adenocarcinoma; 2.Immunohistochemical identified as dMMR and/or pCR and/or NGS detection for MSI-H; 3.According to UICC/AJCC TNM staging system (in 2017 version 8) assessment for locally advanced colorectal cancer (II - III, namely cT3-4 and/or N + ); 4.* clinical staging methods: colon CT staging, approved by pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the rectum rectum cavity ultrasound combined with staging, 5.No signs of intestinal obstruction;Or intestinal obstruction after proximal colon obstruction has been relieved after colostomy surgery; 6.No distant metastasis was confirmed by comprehensive examination (distant organs or (and) the distant lymph node metastasis); ( 2 ) Previous treatment 1.No colorectal cancer surgery before; 2. No previous chemotherapy or radiotherapy ; 3. had not received biological treatment ; 4. Previous endocrine therapy : no restriction.

Disqualifiers

1.Immunohistochemistry of tumor biopsy specimens suggested pMMR or microsatellite instability detection suggested MSS ; 2. Chronic hepatitis B or C ( high-copy viral DNA ) with a history of HIV infection or active phase ; 3.Autoimmune diseases ; 4.Other active clinical severe infections ( > NCI-CTC3.0 version ) ; 5. patients with clinical stage I ; 6.Preoperative evidence of distant metastasis ; 7. cachexia, organ dysfunction ; 8. Have a history of pelvic or abdominal radiotherapy ; 9. Patients whose seizures require treatment ( e.g. steroids or antiepileptic treatment ) ; 10.5 years have a history of other malignant tumors, except for cured cervical carcinoma in situ or skin basal cell carcinoma ; 11. Chronic inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction ; 12. Drug abuse and medical, psychological or social conditions may interfere with patient participation in the study or have an impact on the evaluation of the results of the study ; 13.Known or suspected allergies to the study drug or any drug related to this test ; any unstable condition or condition that may endanger patient safety and compliance ;

Trial population

( 1 ) Patient characteristics 1. Age : 18-75 years old ; 2. Physical status score : ECOG 0-1 ; 3. Life expectancy : more than 2 years ; 4. hematology : WBC \> 4000 / mm3 ; pLT \> 100000 / mm3 ; hb should be \> 10g / dL in principle ; chronic anemia ( hemoglobin \< 10.0 g / dL ) is not an exclusion criterion but should be corrected by blood transfusion before surgery and chemotherapy. If hemoglobin remains low after transfusion, surgery and chemotherapy can be decided by surgical and medical teams. 5. Liver function : SGOT and SGPT were less than 1.5 times of normal value ; bilirubin less than 1.5 mg / dL ; 6. Renal function : creatinine \< 1.8mg / dL ;

Case-only

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Tireilizumab(PD-1 inhibitor)

    Drug

    Neoadjuvant immunotherapy phase : 1. Pharmaceuticals: Tireilizumab: 200mg, intravenous infusion, Q3W, at least 4 cycles, the number of specific neoadjuvant immunotherapy cycles was determined according to the results of MRD dynamic monitoring. 2. MRD dynamic monitoring time node: dynamic monitoring at the initial diagnosis and after the fourth cycle of neoadjuvant immunotherapy. Blood monitoring points were 1-2 weeks after immunotherapy. If the two consecutive MRDs were negative, the watch and wait strategy was adopted. If the MRD was still positive after 8 cycles of neoadjuvant immunotherapy, surgical treatment was performed.
