Intervention type: Drug
Intervention name: Serplulimab + FOLFOXIRI
Description: Starting from day 0, the patient will receive 8 cycles of FOLFOXIRI regimen at specific intervals. The FOLFOXIRI regimen includes irinotecan 165mg/m2, oxaliplatin 85mg/m2, calcium folinate 200mg/m2 on day 1, followed by continuous intravenous infusion of 5-FU 2400mg/m2/day for 46 hours. This regimen is repeated every 14 days.During radiotherapy (Monday to Friday), the patient will receive capecitabine 1650mg/m2/day orally twice daily. Serplulimab immunotherapy will be administered every 2 weeks during the FOLFOXIRI neoadjuvant chemotherapy period. Serplulimab will be given on the first day and the 14th day of radiotherapy, dissolved in 100ml normal saline and administered intravenously over 30-60 minutes at a dose of 200mg.

Summary: For locally advanced rectal cancer, the initial goal of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is to reduce local recurrence, but the pathologic complete response (PCR) rate is low, and distant metastasis becomes the main treatment failure pattern. With the gradual optimization of neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens, the tumor regression efficacy in patients has improved, leading to increased organ preservation and reduced distant metastasis. Therefore, neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer has transitioned from an era focused on local control of recurrence to an era focused on improving tumor regression, organ preservation, and long-term survival. Thus, there is a trend towards intensifying the whole course of neoadjuvant treatment for rectal cancer to preserve organ function. The combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy is currently the most powerful approach to maximize tumor regression and achieve organ preservation in low rectal cancer. Currently, several clinical studies on the use of PD-1 inhibitors in combination with preoperative chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer are ongoing internationally, with the majority focusing on PD-1 monotherapy or PD-1 combined with the CapOX regimen in combination with synchronous chemoradiotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment. However, there is no specific research reported on the use of PD-1 combined with FOLFOXIRI regimen in combination with synchronous chemoradiotherapy as a whole course neoadjuvant treatment for pMMR (proficient mismatch repair) locally advanced rectal cancer. Based on the above evidence from evidence-based medicine, we plan to conduct a phase II prospective clinical study to explore the efficacy and treatment safety of PD-1 monoclonal antibody and FOLFOXIRI chemotherapy combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy as a whole course neoadjuvant treatment in pMMR locally advanced low rectal cancer. The results of this study may open up new treatment approaches for optimizing whole course neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer and provide a novel treatment strategy for organ preservation in pMMR rectal cancer.
