First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special enema, given daily during and shortly after short-course radiation, can prevent rectal injury in 40 rectal cancer patients. The goal is to reduce the high rate of radiation-induced rectal damage from an expected 80% down to 50%. It is a single-arm, phase 2 trial, meaning all participants receive the enema and results are compared to historical data.
