About this trial
This is a single-arm, phase II clinical study aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with camrelizumab as a neoadjuvant therapy in the treatment of locally advanced/low rectal cancer requiring anus preservation.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Pathological Complete Response rate
After neoadjuvant therapy and surgery, postoperative specimens showed no residual surviving tumor cells in the tumor bed (%RVT=0).
Secondary outcomes
Objective Response Rate
Determined using RECIST v1.1 criteria, defined as best overall response (CR or PR) across all assessment time points during the period from enrolment to termination of trial treatment.
Disease Control Rate
Determined using RECIST v1.1 criteria.
Anal preservation rate
Proportion of patients with low rectal cancer who retain their anus after surgery.
Disease-free Survival
The time from surgical resection to the first tumor recurrence and metastasis, or the patient's death due to any reason.
