Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is an open-label, multi-center, single-arm clinical study. All patients received 4-6 cycles total neoadjuvant therapy plus concurrent tislelizumab immunotherapy, then underwent clinical response assessment. Patients who achieved CR (cCR+ pCR confirmed by local resection of ncCR) continue tislelizumab combined with CAPOX for another 4 cycles and tislelizumab for 9 cycles, then Watch and Wait.
