Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This randomized phase II trial evaluates the efficacy of long-course chemoradiotherapy (50Gy/25Fx + capecitabine) versus short-course radiotherapy (25Gy/5Fx) combined with CAPOX(Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin), PD-1 inhibitor (serplulimab), and COX-2 inhibitor (celecoxib) in MSS(MicroSatellite Stable) locally advanced rectal cancer, with primary endpoint of complete response rate (pCR+cCR)(Complete Remission) and secondary endpoints including anal preservation rate and 3-year survival outcomes, aiming to elucidate the immunomodulatory effects of triple therapy on tumor microenvironment.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age 18-75 years, regardless of gender.
* Pathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma.
* Tumor located ≤10 cm from the anal verge.
* Baseline stage T3-4 and/or N+ (locally advanced disease).
* No evidence of distant metastasis.

* Individuals with a history of other malignant diseases within the past 5 years, excluding cured skin cancer and cervical carcinoma in situ.
* Individuals with a history of uncontrolled epilepsy, central nervous system diseases, or mental disorders, where the clinical severity (as judged by the investigator) may impair the ability to sign the informed consent form or affect compliance with oral medication.
