Brief summary: To improve the survival in patients with microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer (MSS mCRC) by loco-regional therapy with personalized ultra-fractionated radiation plus immunotherpy.

Detailed description: IPULSAR-CRC is a prospective, single-arm, two-cohort, investigator-initiated phase II trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of Personalized Ultrafractionated Stereotactic Adaptive Radiotherapy (PULSAR ) plus sintilimab in combination with standard systemic therapy in paitents with microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer (MSS mCRC). Eligible patients will be assigned to two cohorts according to previous treatment: a first-line cohort A and a second-line cohort B. Patients in both arms will receive PULSAR, administered in 5 fractions of 6-10 Gy each (30-100 Gy total) at 3 week intervals. Sintilimab will be administered 200mg every 3 weeks and schedule to the next day of every pulses of radiation. Standard systemic therapy will be administered based on previous chemotherapy and adverse reactions to chemotherapy agents and at the discretion of the oncologist.The survival benefits, response rates, and adverse effects will be analyzed.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patient is 18-75 years old at the time of signing the informed consent form.
* ECOG performance status 0-1.
* Histopathological confirmed MSS/pMMR adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum.
* Distant metastasis lesions are no more than 10 and all sites of disease can be safely treated based on a pre-plan.
* At least one evaluable metastatic lesion for radiotherapy and evaluation according to RECIST 1.1.
* No prior radiotherapy within 6 month.
* Previous system therapy. Patients Group Cohort A: participants who have not previously been treated with first-line chemotherapy. Cohort B: Patients with disease progression after first-line chemotherapy or stopped first-line therapy due to unacceptable toxic effects .
* Has an investigator determined life expectancy of at least 24 weeks.
* Demonstrate adequate organ function (bone marrow, liver, kidney and clotting function) within 7 days before the first administration without using blood products or hematopoietic stimulating factors.
* Non pregnant or lactating patients. Effective contraceptive methods should be used during the study and within 6 months of the last administration.
* Fully informed and willing to provide written informed consent for the trial.

* A history of heart disease within 6 months.
* Uncontrolled malignant pleural effusion, ascites, or pericardial effusion.
* The presence of a clinically detectable second primary malignancy, or history of other malignancies within 5 years.
* A history of liver disease including, but not limited to, HBV infection or HBV DNA positive (≥1×104/mL), HCV infection or HCV DNA positive (≥1×103/mL),and liver cirrhosis.
* Pregnant or lactating women or women who may be pregnant have a positive pregnancy test before the first medication, or the female participants themselves and their partners who were unwilling to implement strict contraception during the study period.
* The investigator considers that the subject is not suitable to participate in this clinical study due to any clinical or laboratory abnormalities or compliance problems.
* Serious mental abnormalities.
* The diameter of brain metastasis is greater than 3 cm or the total volume is greater than 30 cc.
* Clinical or radiological evidence of spinal cord compression, or tumors within 3 mm of the spinal cord on MRI.
