About this trial
The study is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, two-cohort, phase II clinical trial. Patients aged 18 years or older who had pelvic recurrence rectal cancer with or without resectable distant metastasis, with treatment naive disease (cohort A) or progressive disease after first-line chemotherapy (cohort B), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1, will receive 25-40Gy/5Fx irradiation or 15-30Gy/5Fx reirradiation (pelvic radiation history), 18 weeks toripalimab and investigator's choice of chemotherapy +/- target therapy, and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for all metastatic lesions between chemoimmunotherapy cycles, followed by multidisciplinary team (MDT) for decision:follow-up of complete response (CR), radical surgery, sustained treatment of non resection, or exit.
The primary endpoint was local objective response rate. Secondary endpoints were extrapelvic objective response rate, R0 resection rate, duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety and tolerability of the treatment.
Shanghai Junshi Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. Provides the first three cycles of toripalimab for free and has purchased liability insurance for clinical trial subjects.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Local objective response rate
the proportion of patients with the best pelvic response of confirmed complete or partial response according to RECIST 1.1, as assessed by the investigator.
Secondary outcomes
Extrapelvic objective response rate
proportion of patients with confirmed extrapelvic complete or partial response per RECIST 1.1.
R0 resection rate
the proportion of patients who achieve R0 resection of pelvic recurrent tumour after therapy.
Duration of response (DOR)
time from the first documented pelvic objective response to pelvic or extrapelvic disease progression in patients with confirmed response.
Progression-Free Survival
time from the date of start treatment until disease progression or censored at last follow-up or death.
