About this trial
To explore the efficacy and safety of adding a ketogenic diet and/or high-dose intravenous vitamin C to neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy followed by mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy combined with serplulimab in patients with locally advanced pMMR/MSS rectal adenocarcinoma through a prospective, randomized, controlled phase II clinical study, providing preliminary evidence for optimizing neoadjuvant treatment strategies for this population.
