Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy

To determine the rate of Pathological Complete Remission (pCR) after Induction Chemotherapy followed by radiochemotherapy and consolidation chemotherapy in patients with High Risk Rectal Carcinoma.

Secondary objectives 9

  1. Evaluating the feasibility of the therapeutic programme (defined as the percentage of patients that are able to complete the entire therapeutic programme in respect to the number of patients enrolled in the study)
  2. Evaluating the rate of Resectability R0
  3. Evaluating complete and partial clinical remissions (ycCR1 and ycPR1) after induction chemotherapy.
  4. Evaluating ycCR2 and ycPR2 after Radiochemotherapy and Consolidation Chemotherapy
  5. Evaluating the "Tumor Downstaging", defined as the comparison between the first clinical evaluation and the pathological re-evaluation after pre-surgical treatment
  6. Evaluating the Toxicity and Safety profile at every therapeutic phase following NCI-CTCAE criteria
  7. Evaluating Morbidity and Mortality (Clavien-Dindo) of the surgical treatment done at the end of the therapeutic programme (32-34th week)
  8. Evaluating the Local Control, DFS and OS at 2-5 years
  9. Evaluating the treatment impact on the patient's Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ-C30 and CR29)

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 12

  1. Medial-distal Rectal Adenocarcinoma (up to 12 cm from the anal margin) histologically documented, stage T3c-dN1-2M0, MRF+, T4N0-2MO (potentially resectable), EMVI -/+
  2. Age > 18
  3. ECOG PS 0-1
  4. Measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1
  5. Able to comprehend risks and advantages of the study
  6. Neutrophils ≥ 1.5x10^3/μL; Platelets ≥ 100x10^3/μL; Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 (UNL); ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 UNL, Alkaline Phosphatase ≤ 2.5 UNL; Creatinine clearance >50 ml/min or Creatinine ≤ 1.5 UNL; Proteinuria (stick) <2+ (se ≥ 2+, perform a 24h urine collection and verify that the value is ≤1 g/24 hr).
  7. Absence of mutational state with complete deficit of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) enzyme; presence of mutations associed with partial DPD deficit does not exclude patient eligibility (Fluoropyrimidine dose reduction is expected)
  8. Absence of neuropathy grade > 1 associated to concomitant illnesses
  9. Absence of other malignancies within the last 5 years, except for skin carcinoma and carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
  10. Absence of clinically significant cardiopathy
  11. Absence of pregnancy or ongoing breast-feeding
  12. Written informed consent

Exclusion criteria 4

  1. Previous radiotherapy on the pelvis
  2. Clinically significant (active) cardiovascular disease, eg. cerebrovascular events (≤6 months), myocardial infarction (≤6 months), unstable angina, congestive decompensation of grade II or higher according to New York Heart Association (NYHA), cardiac arrhythmia under therapy.
  3. Presence of genotypes associated with complete DPD enzyme deficiency
  4. Gastrointestinal disorders with malabsorption syndrome, inability to take drugs through oral administration
