Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a commonly used drug for colorectal cancer (CRC). Thermosensitive hydrogel presents a promising carrier for 5-FU to address challenges encountered with traditional administration methods. We propose an integrated approach utilizing colonic transendoscopic enteral tubing to cover the entire colon flexibly, coupled with a thermo-sensitive gel to enhance the adhesion of 5-FU. This clinical trial aims to assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of this approach for treating CRC.

Fluorouracil is administered via the colon as an injectable solution at a dose of 500 mg per day for 6 days, along with poloxamer 407 and poloxamer 188 used as thermosensitive hydrogel to enhance adhesion.

RECRUITINGObjective response rate (according to RECIST1.1, investigator assessment)
Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) proportion of participants.
Time frame: One, three, and six months (or until conversion to surgery) after the initial treatment
Progression-free survival
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the first initiation of study regimen treatment to the first imaging disease progression or the time of death, whichever occurs first.
Time frame: One, three, and six months (or until conversion to surgery) after the initial treatment
Overall survival
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from the first initiation of the study regimen to death from any cause time.
Time frame: Every 3 months up to 24 months after the end of treatment
Disease control rate (according to RECIST1.1, investigator assessment)
Disease control rate (DCR) is defined as the proportion of participants with complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) × 100%.
Time frame: One, three, and six months (or before conversion to surgery) after the initial treatment
Drop period to ensure operation resection
Drop period to ensure operation resection is defined as the proportion of participants whose tumors shrink following study induction therapy, thereby enhancing the safety and feasibility of surgical removal.
Time frame: Time from the first treatment to 4-6 cycles (each cycle is 28 days) of treatment
Converted resection rate
Surgical conversion rate, defined as the proportion of participants who achieved gross complete resection after 4-6 courses of study induction therapy.

Time frame: Time from the first treatment to 4-6 cycles (each cycle is 28 days) of treatment
Actual R0 resection rate
Actual R0 resection rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieved R0 surgical resection after 4-6 courses of study induction therapy.
Time frame: Time from the first treatment to 4-6 cycles (each cycle is 28 days) of treatment
The incidence of treatment-related adverse events (AE) assessed by CTCAE, Version 5.0
The severity of AE was graded as mild (grade 1), moderate (grade 2), severe/disabling (grade 3), life threatening (grade 4), and death (grade 5). All AE were divided in definitely, probably and possibly related to treatment.
Time frame: Throughout the treatment period and continuing for an additional 6 months after the treatment concludes, an average of 1 year
