摘要:
目的 探讨全程新辅助治疗联合免疫治疗在局部晚期直肠癌中的疗效与安全性。方法 系统检索PubMed、EMBASE、Cochrane Library、ClinicalTrials.gov及中国知网数据库,筛选出2015年1月至2025年12月发表的全程新辅助治疗联合免疫治疗用于局部晚期直肠癌的随机对照试验文献。采用Cochrane偏倚风险评估工具评价纳入文献的质量,通过Review Manager 5.4.1软件进行Meta分析,主要结局指标为病理完全缓解率,其他结局指标包括临床完全缓解率、R0切除率、保肛率、3级及以上不良反应发生率,同时开展亚组分析[基于放射治疗(简称放疗)策略]、敏感性分析(逐一剔除法)及发表偏倚分析。结果 最终纳入7篇随机对照试验文献,共979例患者,其中试验组(全程新辅助治疗+免疫检查点抑制剂)528例,对照组(单纯全程新辅助治疗)451例。Meta分析结果显示,试验组病理完全缓解率(OR=2.27,95%CI 1.67~3.08,P<0.000 01)和R0切除率(OR=2.66,95%CI 1.42~4.97,P=0.002)均高于对照组;两组的临床完全缓解率(OR=1.90,95%CI 0.81~4.47,P=0.14)、保肛率(OR=1.49,95%CI 0.75~2.98,P=0.26)、3级及以上不良反应发生率(OR=1.35,95%CI 1.00~1.83,P=0.05)差异均无统计学意义。亚组分析和敏感性分析未发现临床完全缓解率的明确异质性来源,而保肛率的异质性主要来源于Rahma等的研究。此外,长程(OR=1.69,95%CI 1.12~2.56,P=0.01)与短程放疗(OR=2.77,95%CI 1.47~5.21,P=0.002)联合免疫检查点抑制剂均能提升病理完全缓解率。敏感性分析显示病理完全缓解率的合并结果稳定,发表偏倚分析提示无明显发表偏倚。结论 全程新辅助治疗联合免疫检查点抑制剂治疗局部晚期直肠癌可提高患者的病理完全缓解率和R0切除率,且不增加严重不良反应发生风险,安全性良好,但对临床完全缓解率和保肛率无明显改善;放疗策略不影响该联合方案的病理完全缓解率获益,临床可根据患者情况灵活选择。

Abstract:
Objective To explore the
efficacy and safety of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) combined with
immunotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Method Randomized
controlled trials (RCTs) on TNT combined with immunotherapy for LARC published
from January 2015 to December 2025 were retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane
Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI)
databases. The quality of included studies was evaluated using the Cochrane
Risk of Bias tool, and Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4.1
software. The primary outcome was pathological complete response (pCR) rate,
while other outcomes included clinical complete response (cCR) rate, R0
resection rate, sphincter-preservation rate, and incidence of grade 3 or above
adverse events. Subgroup analysis (according to radiotherapy regimens),
sensitivity analysis (by leave-one-out method), and publication bias analysis
were also conducted. Result A total of 7 RCTs involving 979 patients
were finally included, with 528 patients in the experimental group (TNT plus immune
checkpoint inhibitors) and 451 patients in the control group (TNT alone). Meta-analysis
showed that the pCR rate (OR=2.27, 95%CI 1.67-3.08, P<0.000
01) and the R0 resection rate (OR=2.66, 95%CI 1.42-4.97, P=0.002)
in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group. There
were no statistically significant differences in the cCR rate (OR=1.90,
95%CI 0.81-4.47, P=0.14), the sphincter-preservation rate (OR=1.49,
95%CI 0.75-2.98, P=0.26), or the incidence of grade 3 or above adverse
events (OR=1.35, 95%CI 1.00-1.83, P=0.05) between the two
groups. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses identified no clear source of heterogeneity
for the cCR rate, and the study by Rahma et al. was the main source of heterogeneity
for the sphincter-preservation rate. Besides, both long-course (OR=1.69,
95%CI 1.12-2.56, P=0.01) and short-course (OR=2.77, 95%CI
1.47-5.21, P=0.002) radiotherapy combined with immune checkpoint
inhibitors improved the pCR rate. Sensitivity analysis verified the stability
of the combined pCR rate result, and publication bias analysis
showed no obvious publication bias. Conclusion TNT combined with immune
checkpoint inhibitors can improve the pCR rate and R0 resection rate in
patients with LARC without increasing the risk of severe adverse events,
demonstrating favorable safety. However, it has no
significant improvement in cCR rate and sphincter-preservation rate. The
radiotherapy course does not affect the pCR rate benefit of the combined
regimen, and clinical selection can be flexibly made according to patients'
conditions.
