Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have a history of allergy to monoclonal antibody, tirelizumab, capecitabine, oxaliplatin or other platinum drugs;
  • Have previously received or are currently receiving any of the following treatments:

A) any surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy for the tumor; B) being treated with an immunosuppressive drug or systemic hormone for immunosuppression purposes within 2 weeks prior to initial use of the study drug (dose >10mg/ day of prednisone or equivalent);In the absence of active autoimmune disease, inhaled or topical steroids and adrenocorticosteroid replacement at doses >10mg/ d of prednisone or equivalent are permitted; C) received live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to initial use of the study drug; D) major surgery or severe trauma within 4 weeks prior to first use of the study drug;

  • Have any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease, including but not limited to: interstitial pneumonia, enteritis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism (may be considered after hormone replacement therapy);Patients with complete remission of psoriasis or childhood asthma/allergy who do not require any intervention as adults may be considered for inclusion, but patients requiring medical intervention with bronchodilators may not be included;
  • A history of immunodeficiency, including HIV positive, or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency disease, or a history of organ transplantation or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation;
  • There is not a good control of the heart of the clinical symptoms or disease, including but not limited to: such as (1) the NYHA class II or above for heart failure, (2) the unstable angina, myocardial infarction occurred within 1 year (3), (4) have clinical significance on the chamber of sex or ventricular arrhythmias without clinical intervention or poorly controlled clinical intervention;
  • Severe infection (CTCAE > level 2) occurred within 4 weeks prior to the first use of the study drug, such as severe pneumonia, bacteremia, and complications of infection requiring hospitalization;Baseline chest imaging suggests active lung inflammation, signs and symptoms of infection within 14 days prior to initial use of the study drug, or requiring oral or intravenous antibiotic treatment, except for prophylactic use of antibiotics;
  • Those who were found to have active pulmonary tuberculosis infection through medical history or CT examination, or had active pulmonary tuberculosis infection history within 1 year before enrollment, or had active pulmonary tuberculosis infection history more than 1 year ago but without formal treatment;
  • Presence of active hepatitis B (HBV DNA ≥ 2000 IU/mL or 104 copies/mL), hepatitis C (hepatitis C antibody positive and HCV RNA higher than the detection limit of analysis method);
  • Other malignancies diagnosed within 5 years prior to the first use of the study drug, unless malignancies with a low risk of metastasis or death (5-year survival >90%), such as adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, may be considered for inclusion;
  • Pregnant or lactating women;
  • In the investigator's judgment, there are other factors that may lead to forced termination of the study, such as other serious medical conditions (including mental illness) requiring concurrent treatment, alcoholism, drug abuse, family or social factors, and factors that may affect the safety or compliance of the subjects.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pathological complete response rate

    Pathological examination of resected tissue samples revealed no residual tumor cells.

    Time frame: 4 weeks after surgery

Other outcomes

  1. Major pathological response rate

    The percentage of active tumor cells in excised tissue samples was less than 10%

    Time frame: 4 weeks after surgery

  2. overall survival

    Defined from date of Signing ICF to date of first documentation of death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.

    Time frame: every 3 months (up to 36 months)
