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.
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.

Long-term anal function
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)
Time frame: 1.5 year after diagnosis
