Summary

PRIME-RT is an open label, multi-centre phase II randomised trial with 1:1 allocation between arm A and arm B. The principal research question is whether the addition of durvalumab to FOLFOX chemotherapy and radiation treatment (either SCRT or LCRT) in the neoadjuvant setting for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) improves rates of complete response. The working hypothesis is that the use of radiation and cytotoxic chemotherapy may prime the tumour immune microenvironment for treatment with immune checkpoint blockade. The main trial will commence after completion of a safety run-in which will enrol at least three patients per arm to test the safety and tolerability of the treatment combinations in each.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Durvalumab

Flat dose of 1500mg delivered intravenously over 30 minutes every 4 weeks.

DRUG

FOLFOX

Oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 delivered intravenously as per institutional standard on Day 1 of mFOLFOX6 treatment every 2 weeks. 5-fluorouracil bolus 400mg/m2 delivered intravenously as per institutional standard on D1 of mFOLFOX6 treatment every 2 weeks. 5-fluorouracil infusion 2400mg/m2 delivered intravenously over 46 hours continuously as per institutional standard following bolus 5-fluorouracil.

RADIATION

Short Course Radiotherapy (Arm A)

25 Gray of photon radiation treatment delivered over 5 fractions.

RADIATION

Long course chemoradiation (Arm B)

50 Gray of photon radiation treatment delivered over 25 fractions.

DRUG

Capecitabine

Capecitabine is a non-cytotoxic pre-cursor of cytotoxic 5-fluorouracil and delivered in oral form. It is given concomitantly with long course radiation treatment on days of radiotherapy only. The dose is 825mg/m2 and this is delivered twice daily.
