About this trial

To explore the efficacy and safety of an intensified treatment regimen consisting of short-course radiotherapy followed by mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy combined with precise targeted therapy (based on RAS/BRAF status: cetuximab for wild-type, bevacizumab for mutant) and a PD-1 monoclonal antibody, compared with short-course radiotherapy followed by mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy alone, in high-risk locally advanced pMMR/MSS rectal adenocarcinoma through a prospective, randomized controlled phase III clinical study, providing high-level evidence-based medical evidence to establish a superior neoadjuvant treatment strategy for this population.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Distance from the lower margin of the rectal tumor to the anal verge ≤10 cm.

Disqualifiers

Patients with a history of severe drug allergies (including allergies to platinum agents, 5-FU, LV, and 5-HT3 receptor antagonists);

Patients who have participated in or are currently participating in other clinical trials within 4 weeks prior to enrollment;

A history of having received anti-PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA-4, or any other specific T-cell costimulatory or checkpoint pathway-targeted therapy;

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Short-Course Radiotherapy

    Radiation

    Patients undergo SCRT at a dose of 5Gy × 5 fractions

  • PD-1 monoclonal antibody

    Drug

    Patients complete immune therapy with PD-1 monoclonal antibody for 4 cycles.

  • mFOLFOX6 regimen

    Drug

    Patients complete chemotherapy with mFOLFOX6 regimen for 4 cycles.

  • Cetuximab

    Drug

    Patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type receive targeting therapy with Cetuximab for 4 cycles.

  • Bevacizumab

    Drug

    Patients with RAS/BRAF mutations receive targeting therapy with Bevacizumab for 3 cycles. (Bevacizumab is not used in the last cycle of the bevacizumab group)

  • Surgical resection

    Procedure/Surgery

    Surgery either local excition or total mesorectal excision is performed 8-10 weeks after the completion of short-course radiotherapy.
