Clinical Trial Summary

A total of 520 cases will be randomly divided into Kang Fu Pen (liquid dressing) enema intervention group (experimental group) and non-enema intervention group (control group), according to the ratio of 1:1.

Description:

All patients are planned to receive radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) will be used for external irradiation, with a dose of 45-50.4Gy /25-28 fractions. Combined three-dimensional intracavitary/interstitial (IC/IS) brachytherapy was applied. The preferred dose fraction plan is 6Gy*5 fractions, or 7Gy*4 fractions. Whether to adopt supplement radiotherapy can be decided by the tumor regression. Cisplatin 40 mg/m2 is recommended as the first choice for concurrent chemotherapy, and TP or TC can also be considered. Single-drug weekly therapy should be completed for at least 3 cycles, and combined 3-week regimen should be completed for at least 1 cycle.

Experimental group: from three days before radiotherapy to one week after radiotherapy, Kang Fu Pen (recombinant human superoxide dismutase) retention enema, 50ml/ time, once every other day. When rectal mucosa II degree reactions (NCI-CTCAE 5.0) occur, it is changed to 1 day/time until 1 week after mucosal remission.

Control group: 3 days before radiotherapy to the end of radiotherapy, no drug retention enema was used.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Degree of rectal mucosal injury caused by acute radiation	the incidence of Vienna rectoscopy score =2 within 1 week after radiotherapy. Vienna rectoscopy score was used.	Within 1 week after radiotherapy
Secondary	Degree of rectal injury caused by chronic radiation	incidence of RTOG score =2 at 3 to 24 months after radiotherapy. If the RTOG score =2 at 3 to 24 months after radiotherapy, rectoscopy will be used to evaluate the degree. If the RTOG score is 0 or 1, clinical classification is enough.	3 to 24 months after radiotherapy
Secondary	Quality of life score	EORTC QLQ-C30 (V3.0) was used to score quality of life before, during, and after radiotherapy.	3 to 24 months after radiotherapy
Secondary	overall survival (OS)	Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time interval from randomization to death from any cause or, if no death, to the last follow-up.	3 years after radiotherapy
Secondary	disease-progression-free survival (PFS)	Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time between randomization and the occurrence of local or regional recurrence, or distant metastasis, or death from any cause, based on the time of the first event and, if none of these events occurred, to the last follow-up.	3 years after radiotherapy
