Study on the Applicability of CCR Criteria in Rectal Cancer

January 21, 2025 updated by: Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute

Applicability of CCR Assessment Criteria in PMMR Rectal Cancer Patients Treated with Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy Combined with Immunotherapy

This study aims to explore how well the usual ways of checking if rectal cancer patients are free of disease signs after treatment work for a new treatment method. The new method combines chemotherapy, radiation, and immune-boosting drugs before surgery. We know these usual ways work for the standard treatment, but we're not sure if they're good enough for this new combo treatment. We'll look at patients with a specific type of rectal cancer that doesn't respond well to just immune-boosting drugs alone. By comparing how patients treated with the new method and the old method respond, we hope to find better ways to tell if the treatment is really working, which could help improve treatment plans for these patients.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

This retrospective study evaluated medical records, endoscopic findings, and MRI images of rectal cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (with or without immunotherapy) followed by surgery at Peking University Cancer Hospital between January 2019 and October 2024.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. histopathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma;
  2. pMMR/MSS tumors;
  3. clinical staging of T3-T4 or any lymph node-positive T (N+);
  4. no evidence of distant metastasis based on radiological examinations;
  5. treatment with long-course chemoradiotherapy (LCRT) with or without immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI);
  6. post-neoadjuvant therapy evaluation with endoscopy and pelvic MRI.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Presence of other active malignancies;
  2. Having severe comorbidities, such as heart failure, severe hepatic or renal insufficiency, etc;
  3. Lack of imaging and endoscopic examinations;
  4. Treatment plan does not meet the study requirements.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
NACRT Group
Participants in the neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) group will receive standard neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. This typically involves a combination of chemotherapy drugs administered concurrently with radiation therapy targeted at the rectal tumor. The chemotherapy regimen may include drugs such as fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin, or capecitabine, which are commonly used in the treatment of rectal cancer.
NAICRT Group
Participants in the neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy (nICRT) group will undergo neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy. In addition to the standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy as described for the nCRT group, patients in this group will also receive immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and AUC
Time Frame: January 2025
To evaluate the performance of clinical complete response (cCR) assessment criteria in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and neoadjuvant immunochemoradiotherapy (nICRT), we will utilize the area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity as key performance indicators. These metrics will help us assess the effectiveness of the cCR assessment criteria in both treatment groups.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2019

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
October 1, 2024

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
