The Combination of Hypofractionated Radiotherapy and Immunotherapy in Locally Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Combined With Toripalimab and Chemotherapy +/- Target Therapy for Locally Recurrent Rectal Cancer: a Single-arm, Two-cohort, Phase II Trial (TORCH-R)

Conditions

Summary

The study is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, two-cohort, phase II clinical trial. Patients aged 18 years or older who had pelvic recurrence rectal cancer with or without resectable distant metastasis, with treatment naive disease (cohort A) or progressive disease after first-line chemotherapy (cohort B), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1, will receive 25-40Gy/5Fx irradiation or 15-30Gy/5Fx reirradiation (pelvic radiation history), 18 weeks toripalimab and investigator's choice of chemotherapy +/- target therapy, and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for all metastatic lesions between chemoimmunotherapy cycles, followed by multidisciplinary team (MDT) for decision:follow-up of complete response (CR), radical surgery, sustained treatment of non resection, or exit. The primary endpoint was local objective response rate. Secondary endpoints were extrapelvic objective response rate, R0 resection rate, duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety and tolerability of the treatment. Shanghai Junshi Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. Provides the first three cycles of toripalimab for free and has purchased liability insurance for clinical trial subjects.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether combining short-course, high-dose radiation (hypofractionated radiotherapy) with immunotherapy improves outcomes for people with rectal cancer that has come back in the pelvis after initial treatment. Radiation may help the immune system recognize cancer cells, and immunotherapy may amplify that response. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18–75 years old with pelvic recurrence of rectal cancer confirmed on MRI or CT - You have no more than 5 sites of spread and no more than 3 different organs involved - You have not had radiation to this area in the past 6 months - You are in good general health (ECOG 0–1) - Your blood counts, liver, and kidney function meet the required thresholds - Your expected survival is at least 24 weeks **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have severe low blood counts or significant abnormalities in liver, kidney, or clotting tests - You have uncontrolled high blood pressure - You have active stomach or bowel ulcers, or are at high risk for bowel perforation - You have had a blood clot or serious bleeding event in the past 6 months - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
