ASCO/FDA Public Workshop onClinical Trials Endpoints inColorectal Cancer Rectal Cancer Endpoints November 12, 2003
Evolution of Adjuvant Treatment • Stage II/III Rectal Cancer (T3/T4, N+) • Surgical Treatment • + Radiation Therapy or Chemotherapy • + Post-operative Chemoradiation Therapy • + Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation Therapy and Post-operative Chemotherapy
Proposed Rectal Cancer Endpoints • Local Control • Sphincter-Sparing Surgery • Pathologic Complete Response
Local-Regional Failure “In contrast to colon cancer, there is a significant risk of local-regional failure as the only or 1st site of recurrence in patients with curative resected rectal cancer.” • Stage I 5% to 10% • Stage II up to 25% to 30% • Stage III up to 50% or higher NIH Consensus Conference on Adjuvant Therapy for Patients with Colon and Rectal Cancer, JAMA, Sept. 19, 1990
Local-Regional Failure Characteristics • Main prognostic determinant is Stage • Local-Regional failure associated with significant morbidity • Major mode of failure(+/- distant metastases) • Most failures within 2-3 yrs and rare after 5 yrs(+/- distant metastases) • Successful salvage is rare
Post-Op ChemoRT vs Surgery K. Hu and L. Harrison – Semin Surg Oncol 19:336-349, 2000
Post-Op ChemoRT vs Single Modality K. Hu and L. Harrison – Semin Surg Oncol 19:336-349, 2000
Pre-Op vs Post-Op Chemoradiation • NSABP R-03 – Low Accrual • Treatment-related toxicity similar • Sphincter-saving surgery • Pre-op Group (plan 31% to 50%) • Post-op Group (plan 33% vs 33% actual) • INT-0147 – Low Accrual • German Trial – CAO/ARO/AIO-94 • Results presented ASTRO – Oct. 2003
German Trial – CAO/ARO/AIO-94 800+ pts – T3/T4, N+ rectal cancer(CI 5-FU + 50.4 Gy) U Penn Oncolink Report on Plenary Session Presentation – ASTRO 45th Annual Meeting – Oct. 2003 - R. Sauer et al – German Rectal Cancer Group
Pathologic Complete Response • Mix of Retrospective Series, Prospective Series, and Phase 2 Studies • Small Studies • Dependent on pathologic review/QA • Different ChemoRT regimens • Different Stages (usually T3, N+) • Range pCR 9% - 24% • pCR associated with trends in decreased LR, increased sphincter-preserving surgery
Pathologic Assessment: # Lymph Nodes & Outcome US GI Intergroup Adj. Trial INT-0114 (1,664 pts, pT3,T4 or Node+ Rectal Cancer) Pathology Reports with Information on Circumferential Margin Status <10% in this study J. Tepper et al, J Clin Oncol 19:157-163, 2001
