New cancer drug trial launches in nigeria for untreated patients

NCT ID NCT06529523

Summary

This study is testing whether the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab is a safe and effective treatment for colorectal cancer patients in Nigeria who have not yet received any cancer treatment. The trial focuses on patients whose cancer has a specific genetic feature called mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR), which can make tumors more responsive to immunotherapy. Researchers will measure how well the drug shrinks tumors in two groups: people with cancer that has spread and people with earlier-stage rectal cancer.
