One drug could cure rectal cancer, spare patients from surgery

NCT ID NCT05723562

Summary

This study is testing whether a single immunotherapy drug, dostarlimab, can effectively treat a specific type of rectal cancer without needing chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. It involves 154 adults with untreated, locally advanced rectal cancer that has a specific genetic marker (dMMR/MSI-H). The main goal is to see if the drug alone can lead to a lasting complete response, allowing patients to keep their rectum and avoid more invasive treatments.
