Rectal Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
The study is a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled clinical study, and the purpose of the study is to compare the pathological complete response rate (PCR) of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with short-term radiotherapy, sequential Camrelizumab and CAPOX (group A) to long-term concurrent chemoradiotherapy, sequential CAPOX (group B) in patients with LARC. A total of 230 patients were included in this study.
Detailed description
Patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (T3-4/N+) were randomly assigned to experimental group A or control group B according to the ratio of 1:1,who will receive preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, and the Primary endpoint of the study is Pathological complete response rate(PCR ) assessed by the blind independent review committee (BIRC), defined as the absence of viable tumour cells in the resected primary tumour specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes (ypT0N0)
Interventions
Short course radiotherapy, 5 \* 5Gy, once a day, 5Gy each time, for 5 days, continuous irradiation, three-dimensional 3D-CRT or IMRT technology is recommended camrelizumab 200 mg , D1, intravenous drip, q3w, 2 cycles before operation, postoperative adjuvant treatment, the longest medication time of camrelizumab was less than 1 year during the whole study period; Capecitabine 1000 mg / m2, twice a day, oral, 1-14 days, then rest for 7 days, q3w, 2 cycles before operation and 6 cycles after operation; Oxaliplatin 130 mg / m2, D1, intravenous infusion 2 hours, q3w, 2 cycles before operation, 6 cycles after operation
