About this trial
This study aims to utilise a real-world data platform to integrate multi-omics data-including radiomics, gut microbiota, pathological quality control and liquid biopsy-to construct a multidimensional predictive model for the efficacy of rectal cancer treatment following neoadjuvant therapy. By integrating multimodal data, the study aims to accurately assess the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy and identify patients suitable for a 'watch-and-wait' strategy, thereby achieving tumour control and preserving organ function without the need for surgery. Furthermore, it seeks to provide scientific evidence for the efficacy of the 'watch-and-wait' strategy and the selection of optimal timing for surgery, whilst validating the model's effectiveness and assessing its clinical feasibility through prospective clinical trials.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
To compare the complete response rates across different treatments.
Compare the complete response rates (including pathological complete response \[pCR\] and clinical complete response \[cCR\]) between a neoadjuvant regimen combining chemoradiotherapy with immunotherapy and the traditional neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy regimen, in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
Secondary outcomes
Safety profile
Adverse Events (AEs): Type, incidence, severity, and relationship to the study treatment. Severity was graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 5.0 (NCI-CTCAE v5.0).
Therapy Tolerability
The proportions of patients with dose interruption, dose reduction, and treatment discontinuation during the neoadjuvant treatment period, all due to treatment-related toxicity.
Disease-Free Survival (DFS)
Disease-Free Survival (DFS) is a key endpoint (a measure of outcome) used primarily in oncology clinical trials, especially for evaluating adjuvant or curative treatments.
Other outcomes
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall Survival (OS) is the primary and most objective endpoint in oncology clinical trials. It measures the time from a defined starting point (e.g., date of diagnosis, randomization in a trial, or start of treatment) until death from any cause.
