Neoadjuvant SHR-1701 Plus Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer (MA-CRC-II-018)

A Phase II, Prospective, Single Arm Study of Neoadjuvant SHR-1701 Combine With Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if SHR-1701 combine with chemoradiotherapy works to treat severe CRC.

Participants will take:

Induction: SHR-1701 combined with CAPOX for one cycle. Radiotherapy: Short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) (25Gy/5F). Consolidation: SHR-1701 combined with CAPOX for five cycles, after which the subjects undergo TME surgery.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: CRC (Colorectal Cancer)
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: SHR-1701 neoadjuvant

Detailed Description

1. Induction Phase SHR-1701: Intravenous infusion at a fixed dose of 30 mg/kg, depending on the protocol), administered on Day 1.

   CAPOX Regimen:

   Oxaliplatin: 130 mg/m², intravenous infusion on Day 1;

   Capecitabine: 1000 mg/m², orally twice daily from Day 1 to Day 14, followed by 7 days of rest.

   This phase consists of 1 cycle (each cycle is 21 days).

2. Radiotherapy

   Short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) will be initiated shortly after the induction phase:

   Total dose: 25 Gy delivered in 5 fractions of 5 Gy each, administered on 5 consecutive days .

3. Consolidation Phase

   Following radiotherapy, participants will continue treatment with SHR-1701 combined with CAPOX:

   SHR-1701: Same dose as induction, administered every 3 weeks (Day 1 of each cycle).

   CAPOX: Same regimen as induction, administered every 3 weeks.

   This phase consists of 5 cycles (each cycle is 21 days).

4. Surgery After completion of the consolidation phase, total mesorectal excision (TME) will be performed based on investigator assessment and surgical indications.

Surgery is typically scheduled within 4 to 8 weeks after completion of consolidation therapy to allow adequate tumor regression and patient recovery.

  13: Female subjects with reproductive capacity are required to undergo a serum pregnancy test 72 hours before starting the administration of the test drug, and the result must be negative. During the trial period and for at least 3 months after the last administration, they must take effective contraceptive measures (such as intrauterine devices, contraceptives, or condoms). For male subjects whose partners are female with reproductive capacity, effective contraceptive measures must be taken during the trial period and for at least 3 months after the last administration.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Allergy to monoclonal antibody, SHR-1701, capecitabine, oxaliplatin and other platinum drugs
2. The patient previously received or is receiving any following treatments: a) Any surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, etc; b) Within 2 weeks before the first use of the study drug, is using immunosuppressive drugs or systemic hormone drugs to achieve immunosuppression (dose > 10mg/day prednisone or equivalent); in the absence of active autoimmune diseases, inhalation or local use of steroids and doses > 10mg/day prednisone or equivalent adrenal cortical hormones are allowed; c) Has received attenuated live vaccines within 4 weeks before the first use of the study drug; d) Has undergone major surgery or suffered severe trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first use of the study drug.
3. Having any active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disease, including but not limited to: interstitial pneumonia, enteritis, hepatitis, pituitary inflammation, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism (considered for inclusion after hormone replacement therapy); patients with psoriasis or childhood asthma/allergy that has completely resolved and does not require any intervention after adulthood can be considered for inclusion, but patients who require medical intervention with bronchodilators cannot be included.
4. Have a history of immunodeficiency, including a positive HIV test result, or suffer from other acquired or congenital immune deficiency diseases, or have a history of organ transplantation or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
5. There are heart diseases or clinical symptoms that are not well controlled, including but not limited to: (1) NYHA grade II or above heart failure, (2) unstable angina pectoris, (3) having experienced myocardial infarction within the past year, (4) having clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias that have not been controlled through clinical intervention or remain poorly controlled even after clinical intervention.
