NCT ID NCT07549399

First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a targeted therapy (cetuximab or bevacizumab) and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 antibody) to standard short-course radiation and chemotherapy can better control high-risk rectal cancer that is not caused by certain gene faults. About 204 adults with this specific cancer type will be randomly assigned to the new combo or standard treatment. The goal is to see if the new approach improves how long people stay cancer-free and reduces the chance of the cancer coming back.
