First seen Jan 28, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tests a new approach for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has a specific genetic profile (MSS/pMMR). Instead of standard radiation, participants receive a combination of chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6) and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 antibody) before surgery. The goal is to shrink the tumor, reduce side effects from radiation, and protect long-term bowel function. The trial includes 30 adults aged 18-75 with no prior cancer treatment.
