Umbrella Trial of Neoadjuvant Therapy for Locally Advanced Colorectal Cancer

This is a prospective, open-label, single-center, phase II umbrella trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced colorectal cancer. Patients will be stratified into four cohorts based on microsatellite instability (MSI) status, KRAS mutation status, and the consensus molecular subtypes (CMS). Six arms are included across four cohorts and each arm will be assigned to a specific treatment regimen. The primary endpoint is the complete response rate. Secondary endpoints include safety, organ preservation rate (for rectal cancer only), R0 resection rate, surgical complications, treatment compliance, 3-year survival, and quality of life (QoL) score.

Efficacy of the Use of Neoadjuvant With/Without Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Colon Cancer

The main objective of this randomized and controlled trial is to determine whether the use of a proactive strategy, systemic neoadjuvant treatment (FOLFOX) with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoterapy (HIPEC) with mitomycin C followed by postoperative systemic adjuvant treatment, increases disease-free survival at 36 months in patients with locally advanced colon cancer compared to standard treatment. Therefore, a phase III, randomized, academic, multicenter, controlled trial will be conducted. Patients with locally advanced colon adenocarcinoma (cT4, cT3 with invasion \>5mm) Nx and no metastases will be included. Control group (n=361) will receive standard treatment (surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy FOLFOX x 12 based); Experimental group 1 (n=361) = Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (FOLFOX x6) + surgery (associating HIPEC) and FOLFOX x 6; Experimental group 2 (n=361): Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (FOLFOX x6) + surgery and FOLFOX x 6. Randomization will be 1:1:1, stratified and centralized. The primary outcome will be disease-free survival at 36 months. Secondary outcomes will be tumor regression rate, ctDNA negativization, peritoneal relapse rate at 36 months, pattern of relapse, toxicity, morbidity and overall survival. Considering the results obtained with these two independent strategies (FOLFOX and HIPEC), a new trial is justified in order to provide strong evidence for this proactive treatment. The aim is to combine both to obtain a better benefit, which opens the direct possibility of increasing the current percentage of disease-free survival. The results of this study will have important scientific and social impact, since is aimed at improving the outcomes of one subpopulation of patients with locally advanced colon cancer whose current treatment, is not enough to avoid the recurrence of disease.

Neoadjuvant ADG126 and Pembrolizumab in Locally Advanced Colorectal Cancer

This is a single site, open-label, single-arm phase II study to determine feasibility, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of neoadjuvant ADG126 and pembrolizumab in stage II or III colorectal cancer.

CapeOX Combined With Bevacizumab Plus Anti-PD1 Antibody as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Microsatellite Stable Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

This prospective, single-arm study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment in pMMR/MSS locally advanced rectal cancer patients

Safety and Efficacy of Pembrolizumab in Combination with Bevacizumab + CapeOX in the Neoadjuvant Treatment of RAS-mutated, BRAF Wild-type, Microsatellite-stabilized, Locally Advanced Colorectal Cancer

To explore the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in combination with bevacizumab and CapeOX neoadjuvant therapy for the treatment of RAS-mutated, BRAF wild-type, microsatellite-stabilized, locally advanced colorectal cancer. Methods and analysis: A prospective, open-label, single-arm, phase 2 clinical study protocol will enroll a total of 20 patients. The study is designed as a Simon II Optimal study involving 20 locally advanced rectal cancer (LACRC) patients. Initially, 9 patients will be recruited in the Simon I phase, and if more than 1 patient achieves a pathological complete response (pCR), the study will proceed to the II phase. Recruit up to 20 patients in Phase II, and if more than 4 patients achieve pCR, the trial will be considered successful. All enrolled patients will receive 2-4 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy with pembrolizumab + bevacizumab and CapeOX (bevacizumab + oxaliplatin + capecitabine). The primary efficacy endpoint is the pathological complete response (pCR) of the cancer following neoadjuvant therapy. Secondary efficacy endpoints include major pathological response (MPR), objective response rate (ORR), and assessment of adverse events (AEs). Ethics: Ethics approval has been obtained from the Ethics Committee at the First Affliated Hospital (Xijing Hospital)(KY20232402-F-1)

Evaluating the Benefits of Personalized Traditional Chinese Medicine in Postoperative Treatment for Locally Advanced Colorectal Cancer

This study aims to explore the role of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) based on syndrome differentiation in reducing chemotherapy side effects, lowering the risk of metastasis and recurrence, and improving survival rates in postoperative colorectal cancer patients through a prospective, single-arm interventional clinical trial.

PD1 Antibody Toripalimab and Chemoradiotherapy for dMMR/MSI-H Locally Advanced Colorectal Cancer

PD1 antibody is now recommended for dMMR/MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer patients as second line. Chemoradiotherapy is standand treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer and is also recommended as an alternative choice for unresectable locally advanced colon cancer. Thus, this study will investigate the efficacy and toxicity of combination strategy using PD1 antibody and chemoradiotherapy for dMMR/MSI-H locally advnaced colorectal cancer patients.
