Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This multicenter, randomized, controlled, phase III trial evaluates whether adding iparomlimab and tuvonralimab injection to CAPOX consolidation chemotherapy after short-course radiotherapy improves tumor response in patients with treatment-naive, proficient mismatch repair/microsatellite-stable (pMMR/MSS) locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive short-course radiotherapy followed by CAPOX plus iparomlimab and tuvonralimab, or short-course radiotherapy followed by CAPOX alone. After total neoadjuvant therapy, patients with a clinical complete response may undergo a Watch-and-Wait strategy, whereas other patients will undergo total mesorectal excision according to standard clinical practice. The primary endpoint is complete response rate, defined as pathologic complete response after surgery or clinical complete response sustained for more than 1 year. Secondary endpoints include 3-year relapse-free survival, 3-year overall survival, sphincter preservation rate, and grade 3-4 acute adverse events. Exploratory analyses will assess tissue and blood biomarkers associated with treatment response.

- description
- Short-Course Radiotherapy + CAPOX + Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Radiotherapy: Short-course external-beam radiotherapy will be delivered to the rectal primary tumor and corresponding lymphatic drainage regions using IMRT or VMAT. The prescribed dose is 25 Gy in 5 fractions over 1 week. No concurrent chemotherapy will be administered during short-course radiotherapy. Consolidation treatment: Iparomlimab and tuvonralimab injection will be administered at 5 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 21 days for 6 cycles. CAPOX chemotherapy will consist of oxaliplatin 130 mg/m² intravenously on day 1 plus capecitabine 1000 mg/m² orally twice daily on days 1-14 of each 21-day cycle, for 6 cycles.
