Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Preoperative Short-course Radiation followed by Envafolimab plus CAPEOX

Arm Description

The enrolled patients with MSS-type advanced middle-low rectal cancer will receive a combined regimen of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy and total mesorectal excision (TME surgery). Radiotherapy uses a short-range mode, irradiating the primary tumor and high-risk areas with dose of 25 Gy. After radiotherapy, PD-L1 antibody (150mg/week, subcutaneous injection × 6 weeks) immunotherapy combined with two courses of CAPEOX chemotherapy was performed. Two weeks after the end of the combined treatment plan in step 2), TME surgery is performed.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate following short-course radiation then Envafolimab Plus CAPEOX
pCR was defined as the absence of viable tumour cells in the resected primary tumour specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes (ypT0N0).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Tumor regression grade following short-course radiation then Envafolimab Plus CAPEOX as assessed by AJCC/CAP TRG system
Tumor Regression Grade(TRG)will be done via pathologic assessment on the surgical specimen with AJCC/CAP TRG system
The proportion of participants who remain survival at 3 years
Defined as the percentage of patients alive after 3-year follow-up
The proportion of participants who remain progression free at 3 years
Defined as the percentage of patients without disease recurrence or progression after 3-year follow-up
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by NCI-CTCAE v5.0
Treatment- related adverse events are assessed by NCI-CTCAE v5.0 in each visit
Surgical Complications of total mesorectal resection procedure for patients after short-course radiation then Envafolimab Plus CAPEOX as assessed by Clavien-Dindo classification
Surgical Complications are assessed by Clavien-Dindo classification after surgery.
Quality of life of the patients in a neoadjuvant setting of short-course radiation then Envafolimab Plus CAPEOX as assessed by FACT-C questionnaire
Quality of life is measured via FACT-C questionnaire in each visit.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Short-course radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy may bring revolutionary changes to the preoperative neoadjuvant treatment mode for locally advanced rectal cancer. According to the existing theory, the use of PD-L1 monoclonal antibody after short-course radiotherapy may be the best solution. In this study, the investigators will perform single-cell sequencing of participants tissue samples, fully explore the multi-dimensional omics information of tumors and microenvironments, explore the characteristics of the treatment benefit population, and try to construct an efficacy prediction model to screen the treatment benefit population early and implement precise treatment.
