About this trial

phase II clinical trial to evaluate node-sparing short-course radiation combined with total neoadjuvant CAPOX and Sintilimab for MSS locally advanced rectal cancers.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients who have a strong willingness to preserve the anus and are willing to receive neoadjuvant therapy.

Male or Female aged 18-75.

Patients diagnosed with low rectal cancer within 10 cm from the lower edge of the tumor to the anal verge by pelvic MRI and anorectoscopy, the clinical stage is cT2N+M0/cT3-4N0/+M0, the lymph nodes are limited to the mesorectum.

Histologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma; Genetic testing suggests MSI-L or MSS, or tumor biopsy immunohistochemistry reveals pMMR, that is, MSH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 are all positive.

Disqualifiers

Patients with a previous history of malignant tumors besides rectal cancer.

Patients with distant metastases before enrollment.

Patients with positive internal or external iliac lymph nodes are assessed by MRI or CT.

Patients with obstruction, perforation, or bleeding that require emergency surgery.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Complete response

Pathological complete response (pCR) :absence of residual tumour on resected specimen. Clinical complete response(cCR): no residual tumour visible on imaging or colonoscopy and biopsy.

Time frame
within 10 days after TNT therapy or surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Tumor regression grade

TRG is evaluated according to the AJCC system. TRG0-1 is defined as good response, TRG2 as moderate response, and TRG3 as poor response.

Time frame
within 10 days after surgery
2

Local recurrence rate(LRR)

Presence of adenocarcinoma within the rectal wall or within the mesorectum confirmed by pathology.

Time frame
3 years after sugery
3

Disease free survival(DFS)

the time from randomization to recurrence of tumor or death

Time frame
3 years after treatment
4

Overall survival(OS)

the time from randomization to death

Time frame
3 years after enrollment
