About this trial
This is an open-label, multi-center, single-arm clinical study. All patients received concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CRT) followed by 4 cycles of tislelizumab combined with CAPOX, then underwent clinical response assessment. Patients who achieved CR (cCR+ pCR confirmed by local resection of ncCR) continue tislelizumab combined with CAPOX for another 4 cycles and tislelizumab for 9 cycles, then Watch and Wait. Patients who did not achieved CR underwent total mesorectal excision (TME).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Complete Response rate (CR rate)
defined as the proportion of participants with clinical complete response(cCR) or near clinical complete response (ncCR) who achieved local resection confirmed pCR determined by the investigators after CRT and 4 cycles of CAPOX plus tislelizumab.
Secondary outcomes
1/2/3 year organ-preservation rate
defined as the proportion of participants who survived and did not underwent TME in 1/2/3 year (in the CR set and full analysis set respectively)
1/2/3 year EFS rate
defined as the proportion of participants who did not develop local recurrence, distant metastasis, new invasive primary lesions of colorectal cancer, or death in 1/2/3 year (in the CR set, non-CR set and full analysis set respectively)
1/2/3 year OS rate
defined as the proportion of participants who survived in 1/2/3 year (in the full analysis set)
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events
Percentage of Participants With adverse events (AEs) , immune-related adverse events(irAE) and serious adverse events (SAEs) per the National Cancer Institute CommonTerminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 5.0
