Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy, Safety

To evaluate the pathologic response after pre-operative treatment

Secondary objectives 5

  1. - To evaluate the impact of perioperative treatment on survival outcomes (disease-free and overall survival)
  2. - To evaluate the histological R0 resection margin
  3. - To establish the association between pCR and survival outcomes outcomes (disease-free and overall survival)
  4. - To determine the safety profile of the combination Spartalizumab + FLOT regimen
  5. - To evaluate the post-operative morbidity and mortality

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients with pCR in the primary tumour defined as: no tumour residue found in the tissue collected during the surgery evaluated by the pathologist

Secondary endpoints 8

  1. - Disease-free survival (DFS) defined as time between inclusion and first progression according to RECIST v1.1 criteria or death whatever cause (in the absence of progression); patients without disease progression or death at the time of analysis will be censored at the time of the latest date of assessment
  2. - Overall survival (OS) defined as the time between inclusion and death whatever cause; any patient not known to have died at the time of analysis will be censored based on the last recorded date on which the patient was known to be alive
  3. - Proportion of patients with margin-free resection (R0), defined as a microscopically margin-negative resection, in which no gross or microscopic tumor remains in the primary tumor bed
  4. - Correlation between pCR and DFS
  5. - Correlation between pCR and OS
  6. - Toxicities of the combination Spartalizumab + FLOT regimen according to NCI CTCAE criteria v5.0
  7. - Post-operative morbidity, defined post-operative complications grades II-V according to Clavien-Dindo classification during surgery, within 30 days after surgery or during the hospital stay
  8. - Post-operative mortality, defined as the rate of patients died due to any cause during the 30 days post-surgery
