Experimental: Treatment Arm
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.

Drug: PD-1 antibody
Before neo-CRT: 2 cycles of PD-1 antibody After neo-CRT: 3 cycles of PD-1 antibody Drug: Capecitabine During neo-CRT: 625mg/m2 bid Monday-Friday per week
Other Name: Xeloda Drug: Irinotecan During neo-CRT: 80mg/m2 qw (UGT1A1*28 6/6) or 65mg/m2 qw (UGT1A1*28 6/7) Radiation: Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy IMRT DT: 50Gy/25Fx |
- 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. ]Pathologic Complete Response Rate
- 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
- 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
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months. ]3 year overall survival rate
- Adverse effects [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years ]Chemoradiation-related or immunotherapy-related adverse events
- Surgical complications [ Time Frame: 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. ]Surgical complications, such as intraoperative hemorrhage, anastomotic leakage, intestinal obstruction, etc.
- Performance Status (Zubrod-ECOG-WHO method), range 0-5. The higher scores mean a worse quality of life. [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years ]Quality of life will be evaluated
- Karnofsky Performance Status, range 0-100. The higher scores mean a better quality of life. [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years ]Quality of life will be evaluated
- 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. [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years ]Quality of life will be evaluated
