Standard Systemic Therapy Combined With High/Low-dose Radiotherapy Plus Toripalimab for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

A Prospective, Two-cohort Phase II Trial of Standard Systemic Therapy in Combination With High/Low-dose Radiotherapy Plus Toripalimab for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

NCT06525428•Fudan University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

TORCH-M is a prospective, single-arm, two-cohort, investigator-initiated phase II trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of standard systemic therapy in combination with high/low-dose radiotherapy plus toripalimab in paitents with microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer (MSS mCRC). Eligible patients will be assigned to two cohorts according to previous treatment: a first-line cohort A and a second-line cohort B. Patients in both arms will first receive one cycle of standard systemic therapy and toripalimab, followed by high/low-dose radiotherapy, and then continue with standard systemic therapy and toripalimab.The survival benefits, response rates, and adverse effects will be analyzed.

Detailed Description

First-line standard systemic therapies in cohort A include: FOLFOX/XELOX+ bevacizumab, FOLFOX/XELOX+cetuximab (KRAS/NRAS/BRAF WT and left-sided tumors only), FOLFIRINOX+ bevacizumab. Second-line standard systemic therapies in cohort B include: FOLFOX/XELOX+ bevacizumab, FOLFOX/XELOX+cetuximab (KRAS/NRAS/BRAF WT), FOLFIRI/irinotecan+raltitrexed/irinotecan/+bevacizumab, FOLFIRI/irinotecan+raltitrexed/irinotecan/+cetuximab (KRAS/NRAS/BRAF WT), based on the previous first-line chemotherapy and adverse events. Toripalimab will be delivered at 240 mg q3w. Radiotherapy regimes include 4-8 fractions of 4-12Gy via SABR or hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) and 5 fractions of 0.5-2Gy via LDRT.
