Summary

This study tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (pucotenlimab) to standard chemoradiation can help shrink advanced rectal cancers before surgery. About 68 adults with locally advanced rectal cancer will receive the combination treatment. The goal is to see if more patients achieve a complete response, meaning no cancer remains detectable after treatment.
