Immunotherapy boosts hope for rectal cancer patients in new trial
NCT ID NCT04130854
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug called APX005M to standard treatment helps more people with advanced rectal cancer achieve a complete response, meaning no cancer cells remain after treatment. About 58 adults with stage II or III rectal cancer will be randomly assigned to receive standard therapy with or without the additional drug. The goal is to see if the combination leads to better outcomes without significantly increasing side effects.
