Popis: TPS4122 Background: In clinical stages II and III (cT3-4 and/or N+), preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) or short-course radiation followed by total mesorectal escision (TME) have been the standard of care for the last 15 years. Induction chemotherapy (CT) before CRT (strategy known as TNT) results in fewer toxic effects and improved compliance. TNT may release tumor-neoantigens with platinum-based induction CT, and radiotherapy has the potential ability to induce an immunogenic cell death and counteract an immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment that provides the rationale for combining with immunotherapies. In addition, the presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes has been demonstrated in patients with rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant CRT, reinforcing the rational for immune check-point inhibitors in this setting. We hypothesize that combining TNT with durvalumab (an optimized monoclonal antibody directed against programmed cell death-1 ligand 1) would improve outcome. Methods: DUREC is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label, phase Ib/II study for patients with magnetic resonance (mr) image middle or distal third, mrT3c-d/T4/N2 rectal adenocarcinoma. Treatment: Patients will receive 6 cycles of modified FOLFOX6 prior to CRT (capecitabine with 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions) and TME, combined with durvalumab 1500 mg every 4 weeks during induction CT, CRT and waiting period until surgery. To assess the tolerability and toxicity profile we plan to perform a run-in treatment phase including the first 6 patients in the study, holding recruitment until all of them will be operated and 30-days post-surgery period completed. If ≤ 2 durvalumab-related dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) are observed, recruitment will continue. The primary objective is pathological complete response (pCR) rate. Secondary endpoints include toxicity, tumor regression grade, R0 resections, clear circumferential margins, surgical complications, NAR score, disease-free survival and a biomarker program on tumor tissue, blood samples and stool microbiota. Statistical design: 58 evaluable patients (assuming a P0 of 16% and a P1 of 30%, with 0.1 alpha and 0.1 beta); Study started recruitment on December 2019. Clinical trial information: 2018-004835-56 .
