Brief Summary:
This is an open-label, single-arm study to investigate the efficacy and safety of AK104 (an Anti-PD1 and Anti-CTLA4 Bispecific Antibody) and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with pMMR/MSS locally advanced rectal cancer.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Drug: AK104 Drug: Capecitabine Radiation: Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy Phase 2

Detailed Description:
The study evaluates the addition of AK104(an Anti-PD1 and Anti-CTLA4 Bispecific Antibody) in neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in proficient Mismatch Repair (pMMR) /Microsatellite Stable (MSS) locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). A total of 33 pMMR/MSS LARC patients will receive long-course chemoradiotherapy plus 2 cycles of AK104, followed by another 3 cycles of AK104, finally received clinical routine manage. The tumor response to treatment, adverse effects and long-term prognosis will be analyzed.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Complete response (CR) rate [ Time Frame: an average of 6 months. ]
    Rate of complete response (CR), including pathologic complete response (pCR) and clinical complete response (cCR).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Adverse effects [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years ]
    Adverse effects according to CTCAE 5.0

  2. Rate of Major pathologic response and tumor regression grade distribution [ Time Frame: an average of 1 year. ]
    Rate of Major pathologic response and tumor regression grade distribution

  3. Rate of surgical complications [ Time Frame: The surgery was scheduled 2-4 weeks after the end of neoadjuvant therapy. And the surgical complications were assessed up to 1 year from the surgery. ]
    Rate of surgical complications, such as intraoperative hemorrhage, anastomotic leakage, intestinal obstruction, etc.

  4. Disease free survival [ Time Frame: 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. ]
    3 year disease free survival rate

  5. Local recurrence free survival [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented pelvic failure, assessed up to 36 months. ]
    3 year local recurrence free survival rate

  6. Overall survival [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 60 months. ]
    5 year overall survival rate

  7. Long-term anal function [ Time Frame: 1.5 year after diagnosis ]
    Long-term anal function was evaluated using the Wexner Continence Grading Scale ,the score being calculated after the patients' completion of a daily defecatory questionnaire. Range is from 0 (normal continence) to 20 (maximum incontinence with maximum disturbance of lifestyle)
