The Combination of Immunotherapy and Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy in Oligometastatic Gastrointestinal Cancer

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-06-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is a single-center, open-label, single-arm phase I clinical study to exploratory observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 antibody (Camrelizumab for Injection) combined with multisite stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in patients with oligometastatic gastrointestinal cancer.

According to the origin site of metastases, this study will consist of three subgroups, including gastric carcinoma group, colorectal carcinoma group and hepatocellular carcinoma group. For each of the subgroup, seven eligible patients with oligometastatic cancer originating from stomach, colon and liver, respectively will be recruited. All patients will receive multisite SABR followed by immunotherapy of Camrelizumab within one week from completion. Camrelizumab will be administered at a fixed dose of 200 mg intravenously (iv) on D1 in a 14-day cycle. The treatment will continue for up to two years until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient withdrawal.

Tumor tissue samples, sections, paraffin blocks or biopsy blocks, and biomarkers, including but not limited to PD-L1 expression level and the proportion of positive cells, TMB level and MMR status, will be collected from subjects.
