Immunotherapy combo aims to shrink rectal tumors before surgery

NCT ID NCT04751370

Ongoing Disease control Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI) Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study is testing a new treatment approach for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has a specific genetic marker (MSI-H/dMMR). The goal is to see if giving two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) along with a short, intense course of radiation before surgery can help eliminate all cancer cells from the removed tissue. Researchers hope this combination will improve long-term survival and, for tumors low in the rectum, increase the chance of preserving normal bowel function.
