A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Phase II Study of Short-Course Radiotherapy Followed by Sequential PD-1 Inhibitor and FOLFOX Chemotherapy Versus Long-Course Chemoradiotherapy for High-Risk Locally Advanced pMMR/MSS Lower Rectal Adenocarcinoma (STAR Trial)
Sponsor: Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University
Summary
This study adopts a prospective randomized controlled design to evaluate the efficacy and safety of short-course radiotherapy followed by sequential PD-1 inhibitor and FOLFOX chemotherapy versus conventional regimens in high-risk locally advanced pMMR/MSS lower rectal adenocarcinoma, aiming to provide high-level evidence supporting a novel treatment paradigm.

Conditions
Interventions
Short-course Radiotherapy, SCRT
The neoadjuvant treatment phase includes either SCRT followed by 6 cycles of FOLFOX chemotherapy combined with a PD-1 inhibitor, or LCRT concurrent with 6 cycles of FOLFOX chemotherapy. Surgery is performed 2-4 weeks after the last cycle of chemotherapy. If reassessment indicates cCR and N0, options include Total Mesorectal Excision (TME), local excision (LE), or watch and wait (W\&W); otherwise, TME is performed. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy follows the CAPOX regimen.
