Summary

This is a prospective study to delve into the therapeutic benefits of combining stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment for patients with unresectable locally recurrent rectal cancer (ULRRC). Our aim is to ascertain the safety of this approach and to offer robust, evidence-based medical guidance for the management of ULRRC using this innovative combination therapy.

Researchers will combine SBRT with PD-1 for ULRRC to see if this treatment can provide a benefit of survival.

Participants will:

1. Receive chemotherapy combined with PD-1 therapy for 1 cycle → SBRT treatment → Chemotherapy combined with PD-1 therapy for 3-6 cycles (assessment 6 weeks after SBRT treatment) → Surgery/Maintenance therapy.
2. Visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups and tests

Conditions

  • Unresectable Locally Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Interventions

RADIATION

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)

Patients will begin SBRT treatment within 2 weeks after the first round of chemotherapy. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technology will be used, with a target gross tumor volume (GTV) of 5-8Gy/5 sessions, a total dose of 25-40Gy equivalent to a biological effective dose (BED) of 37.5-72Gy, administered from Monday to Friday. For patients who have previously received pelvic radiotherapy, the re-irradiation dose will be 3-5Gy/5 sessions, a total dose of 15-25Gy equivalent to a BED of 19.5-37.5Gy, administered from Monday to Friday.

DRUG

PD1

The PD-1 monoclonal antibody used is Sintilimab 200mg every 3 weeks

DRUG

Chemotherapy

First-line chemotherapy regimen of rectal cancer, using a second-line regimen primarily based on fluorouracil, such as a tri-weekly CAPOX or a bi-weekly mFOLFOX6/FOLFIRI/FOLFOXIRI + targeted therapy
