Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an observational, single-centre study (RIPH3) for patients with rectal cancer soon to be treated with chemotherapy (+/- neo-adjuvant radio-chemotherapy) looking at the relationship between the composition of the gut microbiota before treatment and the tumour response after chemotherapy +/- radio-chemotherapy

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Main objective: The main objective is to test the association between :

* the gut microbiota assessed from a stool sample before the start of neoadjuvant treatment of patients (T0) on the one hand, and
* complete histological response assessed on the surgical resection specimen in patients with histologically proven stage II and III rectal tumours treated with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed or not by Cap50 radiochemotherapy before surgery.

Primary endpoint: The primary endpoint will be complete histological response assessed on the surgical specimen after the neoadjuvant therapy regimen. This assessment will be performed according to the usual standards and blinded to any information on the gut microbiota and on the content of short-chain fatty acids and tryptophan derivatives.

Secondary objectives:

* To explore the profile of gut microbiota composition and short-chain fatty acid content in the two groups of patients (complete histological response or not), assessed before any treatment (T0).
* To assess the changes in the composition of the intestinal flora and the content of short chain fatty acids following treatment with induction chemotherapy (T1), then preoperative radiochemotherapy (T2) if applicable, by comparison of the preoperative sample with the initial sample (T0).
* Assess the association between these taxonomic and metabolic changes (T1-T0, T2-T0) on the one hand and the histological response on the other.
* To evaluate the association between the profile of the composition of the intestinal microbiota and the content of short-chain fatty acids, as well as calprotectin (a reliable and sensitive non-invasive marker of intestinal inflammation) assessed before any treatment (T0) on the one hand, and the occurrence of toxicity during treatment, in particular digestive toxicity.

Secondary endpoints:

* Percentage of different bacteria or families of bacteria (abundance) such as Ruminococcaceae in the intestinal flora and dosage of short-chain fatty acids;
* Rarefaction curves;
* Taxonomic indicators;
* Alpha and beta diversity indices of microbiota composition;
* Determination of calprotectin by ELISA on stool sample.
* Toxicity assessed by collecting adverse events during treatment with FOLFIRINOX and for some patients during radiochemotherapy, graded according to the NCI CTCAE v5 scale and classified according to the MEDDRA dictionary;

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Person with rectal cancer

People with locally advanced rectal cancer who are to receive induction chemotherapy with FLOFIRINOX followed or not by neo-adjuvant radio-chemotherapy of the Cap50 type.

Stool collection

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Stool collection is done with the "Coll-off" device (Zymo research, reference R1101-2-5) provided to the patient before and after the induction treatment and after the reference chemo-radiotherapy treatment (Cap50, Capecitabine). Collection must be carried out by the patient at home (collection using the "Coll-off" device and then transfer to a coproculture jar provided). The fresh sample is then picked up the same day by an approved transporter mandated by the promoter and will be stored at -20°C until the start of the analyses
