First seen Mar 10, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study tests whether combining an immunotherapy drug (serplulimab) with chemotherapy (CAPEOX) and an anti-inflammatory drug (celecoxib) can shrink advanced rectal cancers before surgery. The trial enrolls 50 adults with a specific type of rectal cancer (pMMR/MSS) that usually does not respond well to immunotherapy alone. The main goal is to see how many patients have no cancer cells left in their surgical sample.
