Conditions

Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy, Pathological Complete Response, Rectal Cancer

Brief summary

This study is designed as a single-center, phase II exploratory clinical trial to evaluate the pathological response rate and safety of sintilimab (PD-1 inhibitor) combined with XELOX regimen (oxaliplatin + capecitabine) for neoadjuvant treatment of LARC. The study focuses on the pMMR/MSS patient population and attempts to provide a new treatment option for patients who cannot tolerate radiotherapy or need to preserve organ function.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALSintilimab combined with XELOX

Sintilimab (3 mg/kg, IV, qd for patients with body weight \< 60 kg; 200 mg, IV, qd for patients with body weight ≥ 60 kg) combined with XELOX (oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2, IV, qd + capecitabine 1000 mg/m2, bid, d1 - d14, q21d) for 2-4 courses
