Overview

Brief Summary

Short-course radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy may bring revolutionary changes to the preoperative neoadjuvant treatment mode for locally advanced rectal cancer. According to the existing theory, the use of PD-L1 monoclonal antibody after short-course radiotherapy may be the best solution. In this study, the investigators will perform single-cell sequencing of participants tissue samples, fully explore the multi-dimensional omics information of tumors and microenvironments, explore the characteristics of the treatment benefit population, and try to construct an efficacy prediction model to screen the treatment benefit population early and implement precise treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients who are willing to receive neoadjuvant therapy.
  • ≧18 years old.
  • Diagnosed by digital rectal examination, colonoscopy, and high-resolution MRI of the pelvis, the tumor is less than or equal to 12 cm from the anus.
  • Histologically diagnosed as rectal adenocarcinoma.
  • The clinical staging by pelvic contrast-enhanced CT and pelvic high-resolution MRI were cT2-4a N+, cT3/T4a N
  • MMR protein detection or MSI gene detection of rectal cancer specimens confirmed pMMR or MSS before treatment .
  • The patient has good compliance and can come to the hospital for re-examination as required.
  • ECOG Scale of Performance Status score 0-1 point.
  • Have not received anti-tumor and immunotherapy before enrollment.
  • Laboratory inspections must meet the following standards:

Exclusion Criteria

  • History of other malignant diseases in the past 5 years.
  • Patients with metastases from other sites (stage IV patients).
  • Patients with clinical staging of T1-2N0 or T4b, or positive lateral lymph nodes by pelvic contrast-enhanced CT and pelvic high-resolution MRI.
  • Patients with intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, intestinal bleeding, etc. requiring emergency surgery.
  • Known allergic to oxaliplatin, capecitabine, PD-L1 monoclonal antibody and other drugs.
  • Pathologically suggested signet ring cell carcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma.
  • dMMR or MSI-H patients.
  • The patient is accompanied by any unstable systemic disease, including but not limited to: severe infection, uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension uncontrolled by medication, unstable angina, cerebrovascular accident or transient cerebral ischemia, myocardial Infarction, congestive heart failure, severe cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, hepatic, renal or metabolic disease; disease affecting the patient's life.
  • The disease (such as mental illness, etc.) or condition (such as alcoholism or drug abuse, etc.) associated with the patient will increase the risk of the patient receiving the trial drug treatment or affect the patient's compliance with the trial requirements, or may confuse the research results.
  • Active autoimmune disease that may worsen while receiving immunostimulants.

Arms & Interventions

Preoperative Short-course Radiation followed by Envafolimab plus CAPEOX

The enrolled patients with MSS-type advanced middle-low rectal cancer will receive a combined regimen of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy and total mesorectal excision (TME surgery). 1. Radiotherapy uses a short-range mode, irradiating the primary tumor and high-risk areas with dose of 25 Gy. 2. After radiotherapy, PD-L1 antibody (150mg/week, subcutaneous injection × 6 weeks) immunotherapy combined with two courses of CAPEOX chemotherapy was performed. 3. Two weeks after the end of the combined treatment plan in step 2), TME surgery is performed.

Intervention: Envafolimab

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate following short-course radiation then Envafolimab Plus CAPEOX

Time Frame: Up to 10 weeks (once surgery is done)

pCR was defined as the absence of viable tumour cells in the resected primary tumour specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes (ypT0N0).

Secondary Outcomes

  • Tumor regression grade following short-course radiation then Envafolimab Plus CAPEOX as assessed by AJCC/CAP TRG system(Up to 10 weeks (once surgery is done))
  • Surgical Complications of total mesorectal resection procedure for patients after short-course radiation then Envafolimab Plus CAPEOX as assessed by Clavien-Dindo classification(Up to 24 weeks)
  • The proportion of participants who remain survival at 3 years(Up to 3 years)
  • Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by NCI-CTCAE v5.0(Up to 3 years)
  • The proportion of participants who remain progression free at 3 years(Up to 3 years)
  • Quality of life of the patients in a neoadjuvant setting of short-course radiation then Envafolimab Plus CAPEOX as assessed by FACT-C questionnaire(Up to 3 years)
