This is a prospective, multicentre, cohort study. For cohort 1, experimental cohort, older or Frail patients with inoperable localized colorectal cancer will receive Ultrafractionated Radiotherapy (RT) and Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) Guided systemic treatment. All patients will receive Ultrafractionated RT and PD-1 antibody. Furthermore, CGA will assess all patients and classify them into Frail, Vulnerabe, or Fit. Frail patients will receive Best Supportive Care (BSC); Vulnerabe patients will receive Fluorouracil/Raltitrexed and BSC; Fit patients will receive Fluorouracil/Raltitrexed, Oxaliplatin/Irinotecan, and BSC. For cohort 2, external control from real word, data of patients with the same baseline characteristics from the same period and the same institute will be prospectively collected. The primary endpoint is complete response (CR, pathological complete response \[pCR\] plus clinical complete response \[cCR\]) rate. The secondary endpoints include the grade 3-4 acute adverse effects rate, anal preservation rate, survival etc.

in cohort 1, all patients will receive Ultrafractionated RT (1Fx every 3 or 4weeks) and Sintilimab (q3w). Furthermore, CGA will assess all patients and classify them into Frail, Vulnerabe, or Fit. Frail patients will receive Best Supportive Care (BSC); Vulnerabe patients will receive Fluorouracil/Raltitrexed and BSC; Fit patients will receive Fluorouracil/Raltitrexed, Oxaliplatin/Irinotecan, and BSC.
in cohort 2, external control from real word, data of patients with the same baseline characteristics from the same period and the same institute will be prospectively collected.
1Fx every 3 or 4weeks
200 mg q3w
5-Fluorouracil or capecitabine
Raltitrexed
Oxaliplatin
irinotecan
Complete response (CR) rate
Rate of complete response (CR), including the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR) after surgery and the rate of clinical complete response (cCR) with Watch \& Wait (W\&W) strategy.
Time frame: 1 month after the surgery or the decision of W&W
Grade 3-4 adverse effects rate
Rate of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy related adverse events
Time frame: From date of randomization until 3 months after the completion neoadjuvant therapy
1 year anal preservation rate
1 year anal preservation rate
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months.
health-related quality of life (HRQOL)
HRQOL assessed with validated European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) ColoRectal cancer (CR) with 29 items (C29) and with 30 items (C30). Multiple measurements and scores will be aggregated to arrive at one reported value. Scores at different time points after randomization will be compared to baseline scores.
Time frame: baseline, and at 3, 6 and 12 months.
1 year disease free survival rate
Rate of 1 year 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 12 months.
1 year local recurrence free survival rate
Rate of 1 year local recurrence free survival
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented pelvic failure, assessed up to 12 months.
1 year Disease-specific survival rate
rate of 1 year Disease-specific survival
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from the specific disease, assessed up to 12 months.
1 year overall survival rate
Rate of 1 year overall survival
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 12 months.
