About this study
Official title: A Phase II Trial of Immunotherapy Combined With Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy in Microsatellite Instability-High Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
The study evaluates the addition of immunotherapy of PD-1 antibody in neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in microsatellite stability-high (MSI-H) locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). A total of 50 MSI-H LARC patients will receive 2 cycles of PD-1 antibody, followed by capecitabine plus irinotecan radiosensitized neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, and another 3 cycles of PD-1 antibody, finally received the total mesorectal excision (TME) and 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy of XELOX. The tumor response grade, adverse effects and long-term prognosis will be analyzed.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pathologic Complete Response Rate
Pathologic Complete Response Rate
Measured: The pathologic complete response rate was evaluated after surgery, which was scheduled 7-8 weeks after the end of chemoradiotherapy.
Secondary outcomes (8)
Disease free survival
3 year disease free survival rate
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months.
Local recurrence free survival
3 year local recurrence free survival rate
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented pelvic failure, assessed up to 36 months.
Overall survival
3 year overall survival rate
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months.
Adverse effects
Chemoradiation-related or immunotherapy-related adverse events
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years
Surgical complications
Surgical complications, such as intraoperative hemorrhage, anastomotic leakage, intestinal obstruction, etc.
Measured: The surgery was scheduled 7-8 weeks after the end of chemoradiotherapy. And the surgical complications were assessed up to 5 years from the surgery.
Performance Status (Zubrod-ECOG-WHO method), range 0-5. The higher scores mean a worse quality of life.
Quality of life will be evaluated
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years
Karnofsky Performance Status, range 0-100. The higher scores mean a better quality of life.
Quality of life will be evaluated
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years
Quality of Life Scale, range 0-60. It evaluates the quality of life from 12 aspects, including appetite, mental status, sleep quality, fatigue, etc. The higher scores mean a better quality of life.
Quality of life will be evaluated
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing PD-1 antibody, Capecitabine and Irinotecan in people with Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer, run by Fudan University at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Zhen Zhang, M.D, PH.D (18801735029 ext. 18801735029, zhen_zhang@fudan.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pathologic Complete Response Rate (time frame: The pathologic complete response rate was evaluated after surgery, which was scheduled 7-8 weeks after the end of chemoradiotherapy.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jun 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
