Early Low Rectal Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
The study evaluates the combination of immunotherapy of PD-1 antibody and neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy in early low rectal cancer. A total of 34 patients will receive 5\*5Gy short-course radiotherapy, followed by 4 cycles of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPOX) chemotherapy and PD-1 antibody, finally receive the local excision(TEM) or total mesorectal excision (TME). The rate of complete response (cCR+pCR), Organ retention rate, long-term prognosis, and adverse effects will be analyzed.
Interventions
PD-1 antibody (Toripalimab): 240mg d1 q3w
Capecitabine: 1000mg/m2 d1-14 q3w
Oxaliplatin: 130mg/m2 d1 q3w
Shor-course radiotherapy: 25Gy/5Fx

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| complete response (CR) rate | The status of cCR will be evaluated after the completion of neoadjuvant therapy. The pCR rate will be evaluated after surgery. The cCR patients who adopted W&W strategy will be included into the CR rate caluculation. | Rate of complete response (CR), including the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR) after surgery and the rate of cCR with W&W strategy. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 3-4 adverse effects rate | From date of initiation of treatment until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years | Rate of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy related adverse events |
| 3 year disease free survival rate | From date of initiation of treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months. | Rate of 3 year disease free survival |
| Organ preservation rate | from date of receiving neoadjuvant therapy, assessed up to 2 years | Rate of patients who underwent organ preservation via WW or TEM after neoadjuvant therapy |
| 3 year overall survival rate | From date of initiation of treatment until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months. | Rate of 3 year overall survival |
| 10 year Quality of Life | From date of initiation of treatment until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years | Quality of life will be evaluated using EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-CR29, LARS score and Wexner score. |
| 3 year local recurrence free survival rate | From date of initiation of treatment until the date of first documented pelvic failure, assessed up to 36 months. | Rate of 3 year local recurrence free survival |
