New drug combo aims to shrink rectal tumors before surgery

NCT ID NCT07291401

Summary

This study is testing if adding a new two-drug immunotherapy (QL1706) to standard chemotherapy and radiation is more effective at shrinking rectal tumors before surgery. About 108 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard treatment or the standard treatment plus the immunotherapy. The main goal is to see if the new combination leads to more patients having their tumors disappear completely, which could potentially allow some to avoid major surgery.
