Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Histopathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma: All other histological types are excluded. The patients have concurrent hemorrhoids documented by colonoscopy report or clinical physical examination.
  • Clinical Pathological Stage: Tumor staged as T3-4 or N+, M0 (according to the AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer)TNM (Tumor-Node-Metastasis) Staging System, 9th Edition; see Appendix 1).
  • Biomarker Status: Immunohistochemical staining of the tissue specimen demonstrates high expression of YWHAB in rectal cancer.
  • Age: 18 to 75 years old, inclusive, at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF).
  • Performance Status: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1 (see Appendix 3).
  • Prior Therapy: No prior systemic anti-tumor therapy for rectal cancer, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, molecular targeted therapy, endocrine therapy, etc.
  • Adequate Organ Function: Based on laboratory values obtained during the screening period:White Blood Cell (WBC) count ≥ 3.0 × 10⁹/L, absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L, platelet count ≥ 75 × 10⁹/L, serum Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × Upper Normal Limit (UNL), aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × UNL, serum Creatinine ≤ 1.5 × UNL.
  • Contraception (Females of Childbearing Potential - FCBP): FCBP must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 3 days prior to initiation of study treatment. They must be willing to use a medically approved highly effective method of contraception (e.g., intrauterine device, oral contraceptives, condoms) during the study period and for 3 months after the last dose of study drug.
  • Contraception (Males): Male subjects with partners of childbearing potential must use effective methods of contraception during the study period and for 3 months after the last dose of study drug.
  • Consent and Compliance: The subject has voluntarily agreed to participate by signing the ICF and is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, study treatment, laboratory tests, and other trial procedures.

Exclusion

  • Distant Metastasis: Confirmed by systemic imaging (CT(Computed Tomography), MR (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), or PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography - Computed Tomography)) encompassing at least the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
  • Pharmacogenetic Deficiency: Known complete DPD (dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase) enzyme deficiency or homozygous UGT1A1\*28 (7/7) genotype identified by whole-genome testing.
  • Acute Surgical Complications: Presence of complete intestinal obstruction, active bleeding, or perforation requiring emergency surgery.
  • Other Active Malignancies: History or concurrent presence of other active malignancies, except for malignancies treated with curative intent with no recurrence for \>5 years, or adequately treated carcinoma in situ (e.g., cervical carcinoma in situ, non-melanoma skin cancer).
  • Thromboembolic Events: History of thromboembolic events (e.g., cerebrovascular accident \[including transient ischemic attack\], pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis) within 12 months prior to study enrollment.
  • Significant Cardiac Disease: Occurrence of any of the following within 12 months prior to enrollment: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, heart failure of NYHA (New York Heart Association Functional Classification)class 2 or higher, clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmia requiring treatment, or symptomatic congestive heart failure.
  • Recent Infection/Fever: Systemic antibiotic use for ≥7 days within 4 weeks prior to enrollment, or unexplained fever \>38.5°C during screening or prior to the first dose (fever attributed to the tumor by the investigator is allowed).
  • Major Surgery/Trauma: Undergone major surgery (e.g., laparotomy, thoracotomy, organ resection via laparoscopy) or experienced significant trauma within 2 months prior to enrollment. The surgical incision must be fully healed before study entry.
  • HIV/AIDS: Known HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection or AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome)-related illness.
  • Significant Pulmonary/Systemic Disease: Presence of interstitial lung disease, non-infectious pneumonitis, or uncontrolled systemic diseases (e.g., diabetes mellitus, hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, acute pneumonitis).
  • Untreated Active Hepatitis: Untreated active hepatitis B virus (defined as HBV-DNA ≥ 500 IU/mL) or hepatitis C virus (defined as HCV-RNA above the lower limit of quantification), or known co-infection with HBV and HCV.
  • Drug Hypersensitivity: Known or suspected history of hypersensitivity to any of the drugs related to the study treatment.
  • Investigator Discretion: Any other condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient unsuitable for participation in the study.
