Brief summary

The question of how to administer adequate chemotherapy and immunotherapy to synchronise hypofraction radiotherapy (HFRT) treatment strategy to maximise the benefits of neoadjuvant therapy for the improved prognosis of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).We aimed to study whether chemotherapy and tislelizumab plus split-course HFRT results in better outcomes in LARC patients.

Detailed description

Prior to analyzing continuous variables, the statistical normality of the data will be determined. The differences between the main variables will be compared by using the analysis of variance. A comparison of data on categorical variables will be carried out by χ2 tests or Fisher's exact tests. The OS and PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. PFS and OS will be compared using the log-rank test. In cases where variables must be adjusted, we will use the proportional hazard Cox regression model. P values for all analyses will be based on using a significance level of 0.05.

Interventions

RADIATIONsplit-course HFRT

7Gy/F, d7, q3w, 5 cycles

CAPOX chemotherapy will commence on day 1 for each of six cycles: oxaliplatin 130 mg/m\^2 intravenous infusion on day 1,followed by capecitabine 1000 mg/m\^2 administered orally twice daily on day 1 to 14 of a 21-day cycle.

DRUGTislelizumab

Tislelizumab 200 mg intravenous infusion on day 1 of each 21-day cycle for each of six cycles.
